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.
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
