Well, it's arguably just nit-picking, but it still kind of bothers me. Basically, any time a new cutscene begins, there is pop-up for about a half-second. Within this half second, whatever the image is, it shows up in layers. For instance, when it cuts to Miranda Keyes in the bridge of her ship, the only thing visible on the screen is an animatic/skeleton, then her face gets filled in, then the wall behind her gets filled in, then anything else in the backround gets filled in. All this takes place sporadically over the course of a half second. Yes, it's only a half second, so what's the big deal? But once you start noticing it, it gets annoying (at least to me). My question though was whether or not this is preferrable to a loading screen.
