Do game developers ever stop and think about HCI? The fuckers. I don't want to sit through 5 load screens before I even get to the fREAKINKG MENUS YOU CUNTS.

my half-life2 experience: *Steam loading* *steam stops because of a firewall and asks to start in offline mode* *steam loading in offline mode* *choose HL2* *half-life 2 loading* *game started* *start a new game* *game loading* *game starts* *walks around for a minute* *Loading...* *(2 minutes later)* *walks around for 45 seconds. and then the heat of the action starts!!!! I get excited and then...* *Loading...* *(2 minutes later)* *gets killed because I went down to get some coffee* *restarts game* *loading* *loading takes too long* *gets bored of it because HL2.JPG was more interesting than HL2.EXE, and presses escape while loading* *game crashes* *throws game brutally against the wall* *cries* *life is ruined* *the end* morale of this story: interaction between system and users REALLY SUCK these days. Good ol "press enter to start" games should be invented again... I also don't like games where you have to assign 100 keys and learn them by heart before you can play.

I actually saw a tv ad for some skateboarding game and their selling point was that it was the only one without loading screens.

But Dungeon Siege also played that up quite a lot, and it certainly isn't some shitty skateboarding game.
