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

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