Progress bars are bad indicators for representing remaining work or time, but it's a decent indicator that something is still being done. Though it's uncommon these days, I remember several instances of older games that has stopped loading. Showing the same percent for a minute is a decent indicator that something has gone wrong.

While I don't care for percent as a displayed number, I do enjoy some kind of indicator showing that the loading is progressing.
