Im not so sure the load times are due to 'online' drm.
I have had load time issues with other copy protection schemes.
I tried the demo of ROF and found the loading times bearable, certainly no worse than SH4.
The demo did require a registration however but no saved games were involved so maybe the full retail is worse.
Honestly I am waiting on neoqb to drop the persistant connection requirement as they said they would.
Then I will consider a purchase
