N64/Gamecube era: I'm going to hype you up with a cinamatic intro and also I'm going to render a whole interactive 3D space with a catchy theme song for my title screen and save select screens.
Modern era games: Lol heres a .png of our promotional art and a piano tinkling. No intro.
I'm getting old.
This! The worst is when you install a new PC game and they have decided, for some reason, to make the default video settings:
And when you start this game it begins playing a dramatic cinematic intro.
800x600, full screen, 4:3, all minimum settings, and when you apply new settings the game hangs for at least three seconds with the button click noise repeating like a skipping record.
