Here's another short one, published on the futile hope that any game developers will ever chance upon this blog. When people install your game, they like to do their own thing - make some tea, browse Youtube, have a wa... walk. They might like to listen to some music.
So don't make it so your damn faux-orchestra music plays in a fucking loop when the game - all three discs of it - is installing. I'm not mentioning a specific Rome: Total War here, this is just a general gripe.
And another thing that annoys me about some games - the credits button on the main menu. Who cares? I mean, really, who gives a toss? No one's going to watch these things and say "Oh, that annoying bit in level 5 in fourteen guys come out of nowhere and shoot at you, and there's no cover, and you have to try that part a hundred and fifty times - that was written by Chuck Yates." Or whoever. If there is a Chuck Yates out there, and he makes good games, I'm happy. But the A-Team never get credited when they save the day. Neither does Superman. Why should game developers get a credit, even though they help society in a far greater way?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play Rome Total War. I dedicate my upcoming gaming to all the unsung heroes of programming, whose credit I never see. Even Chuck Yates... he was the greatest of all.
