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
