Thanks for the info, my ssd are two of these: Corsair Force Series MP600 2TB Gen4 PCIe X4 NVMe M.2 SSD
Maybe it's just because it is an old game and abad port from console to pc.
I agree it probably is not the greatest port but load times should not be effected just a quick troubleshooting for you...make sure your motherboard has 4x4 and not 3x4 nvme slots as some boards came with gen 3 or gen4...really stupid for them to do that. Also make sure you update the bios and the nvme firmware along with your chipset drivers. Only other thing off the top of my head would be to make sure your bios is using the gen4 speed and not defaulting to an older format. Run a speed test on your drive, crystalmark would do and see if it shows the speeds you can find online also. If you need any more help give a pm and I will try and help the best I can!
I've never owned a console, always a PC gamer. However, I was thinking of getting a PS5 as my wife wants one. I was playing just cause on pc yesterday and it is a console port, and it is terrible. It takes forever to load and then had these constant cut scenes where it says loading in the bottom right corner, which kills my immersion experience. Now Just Cause 3 is pretty old, so my question is, are consoles still like like this? Slow and loading screens? Why doesn't it just load once and be done like a pc? Before anyone asks, my pc is powerful enough, 64gb ram, amd ryzen 9, nvidia 3070, latest on mobo ssds, etc.
If they don't do that, then I'm in. If they do, then maybe it might be okay for games that aren't too immersive like a mario kart type thing. Which is just pure low tech fun in multilayer or with kids.
Can anyone who has both a pc and a console help me out? Thanks!
I have a PC very similiar to yours(3080 Ti) for my competetive FPS gaming on a 27" 165hz display, and then my consoles in the living room on a 65" TV for playing cinemetic campaign games and driving games. Both my PS5 and XBOX series X load games very quickly. Honestly, the PC and console gaming are just different experiences for me, so I like to have them both available. If you can afford to do both then I suggest go for it and enjoy!

Consoles have greatly improved load times thanks to using solid state drives. They're always going to be behind PCs of course, as the hardware came out almost two years ago now. The graphics usually look good, but you'll be choosing between looking great or running at higher frame rates this generation. Unlike PC where you can have both.
Your PC has better performance than this generation, but optimization is the problem with console ports and especially older ones.
