Video games have the best loading screens at the moment, because people often don't realize they're there. They slow the user down in a way that doesn't feel like a wait.
Elevators are a common mechanic, but I appreciate more creative ones like making the user open a heavy door (God of War), or climb up an obstacle.

- baud147258 7y agoFor those that are actually loading screen and not hidden like that, one type I like is those from the Assassin's Creed games where you can at least control your character.
- zaarn 7y agoEven the presence of a plain loading screen like in DOOM can be done well; there it provides a brief pause for the player to calm down again and it prompts for a spacebar so you can grab a drink or check your mail without issue. Plus it's fairly fast so in most cases you wait like 30 seconds.
