I always thought it was lacking but non offensive and realize much of my feelings towards it that are positive are nostalgia based.
>PS1 was hands down the best opening
>PSP is my 2nd fav. Flankly that style of quick animation, pleasant sound, and quick fade to your loaded game should have been the intro template forever!
>PS2 was inoffensive and I have positive nostalgia for it. I appreciate that a decade later I learned those squares corresponded to memory values...
>PS3 was weird. The sound of an orchestra warming up? I mean whatever, the menu itself was fire but the opening was dumb.

Never played Vita, 4, or 5 do no clue if those are any good.
A simple pleasing start up sound and quick animation goes a long way.
That's why I hated Gamecube and Xboxs start ups. They sounded like a something was going wrong with my system before my game loaded.
Dreamcast had a perfect intro for that generation.

How can we make arcades popular again?

Pretty sure I got 10 games for under $60 total.
Steam sales aren't the insane firesales they used to be where I'd drop $300 and double my library, but they have their moments.
I think we will start seeing a decline in massive steam discounts over the decades, and see the sales resemble what a gamestop discount was for newer games.
GOG surprisingly still hasassive discounts, but it's all older games

Except your government didn't fund cup head or the messanger.
Those had to have good gameplay and sell units based on being fun to play.

You should be upset that an influx of money that is given with no strings attatched incentivizes developers and publishers to not care about making a quality product for the customer while taking charging you for the privilege of making it worse via your tax dollars

Is it even possible to Arcades have a comeback?
