Am currently playing Hades, start the game, the game load, BAM, the menu screen. Such respect toward player's time.

In AAA games and a lot of indies, everyone involved/slightly involved want to show you their shiny logo, no skipping.

Sadly the logos need to be there as part of their funding contracts most of the time

Lol I don't miss that at all either! Starting up a game was some buffet-pick of:

  • NVIDIA - the way it's meant to be played.

  • ATI

  • HAVOK engine.

  • F-Mod

  • BINK video

  • EA GAMES - (challenge everything)

  • Ubisoft purple tunnel video clip

  • "This game might cause seizures BTW ask ur doctor idk."

  • "Graffiti is art but it's a crime we didn't make you do it." (JSRF lol)

  • NOW LOADING. . . . . . . . .

  • FINALLY. Start menu.

And I remember clicking around and hitting ESC or the controller buttons in vain just out of sheer wishfulness. XD
