OMG! The transitions are the slowest and most annoying transitions I have experienced, and you can't interrupt them. After you finally have to suffer through a transition, the actual animations are slower than whale snot and you can't interrupt them either. Just getting rid of the transitions and allowing you to interrupt the animations would improve the game play by a vast amount. It's like a cinematographer wannabe tried to make this game. They failed in both aspects. Too bad, because this game has a lot of good quality scenes, but you have to travel through snail hell to get to them.
It's not like my computer can't handle this stuff, it's basically top of the line, and the animations are smooth, but DAMN SLOW!
Someone introducing a simple patch to interrupt transitions and animations would redeem the crap out of this.
