YES! The music was so damn good and catchy. I loved it! I still get it stuck in my head to this day. I wish they would bring it back over that "dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, whatever".

Next one that sticks out is Conflict: Global Terror. The music was borderline annoying but so damn catchy at the same time.

I always liked the Genesis start up screens that say "Sega" in various ways. The Jurassic Park one always made me chuckle. A T-Rex saying Sega?!! I mean come on!

Metal Gear Solid 4. It let you know if the load time was going to be long if Snake was smoking. Gave you enough time to get up and have a smoke, get a drink, make food, etc etc etc.

Funny load screens like Anno or Don't starve had.

Things like "filling the oceans with watter" "planting trees" "filling the level with baddies"

No really a screen, just some silly stuff

I prefer one long loading screen vs numerous smaller ones, or hidden ones. I won't deny MGS4 had lots of loading screens but at least they give you time to jump up and take advantage of em, lol.

Worst of all: multiple long loading screens :/

But yeah, I see what you mean. I played thief at the start of this year and thought: well this isn't too bad, the load times are really short and don't bother me as much as reviewers claim.

Then at the end of the game I was really sick to death of all the (short) loading screens I encountered going from one part of the city to the next.

I was also thinking MGS4. They were awesome.

And as far as I can recall, in Assassin's Creed, you can run around in some kind of simulation while the game is loading. That is cool too as well.

I'm sure there's alot more good ones.

The loading screens for Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad. A 2D minigame where you can just kill zombies while you wait.

Well... A lot of games do wierd stuff if you alt tab like that. I definitely would alt tab out of DOTA 2 loading screens. But for example if I alt tab in Skyrim it simply crashes.

Yeah it depends on the games. But most games, you can alt+tab safely.

I really hate games that don't let you alt+tab, it's like the devs have no conception of PC gaming. Skyrim crashes, or does weird stuff, Dirt Showdown and Grid 2 (both from codemasters) switch the game to windowed mode in 800x600, I remember LA Noire going down to like 5 fps when I alt tabbed back in, and a ton of other games also switch to windowed mode.

Such a simple thing, and so many games mess it up.

This. Not easily transferred to non-sports games, but it is certainly what all other sports games should have

I don't remember :p any specific games you remember being really bad ?

I got a more recent example of something that bothered me. Early UE3 games: the load times weren't bad. But then you started playing only to find out that textures hadn't loaded. What was up with that ?

That's because it hides the load times behind cutscenes like Max Payne 3

I like how in Bayonetta, you can practice your combos, while showing you the buttons pressed.
