Not that I've had a problem with Elder Scrolls menu music in the past, but I am irritated with some from other games. We're going to be starting the game perhaps hundreds of times, so they should make sure the introduction music doesn't grate. My example would be Call of Duty World at War which had some weird squeaky whistle which was terrible. Also when pausing the game by going to the menu, turn off the music! If I have to take a phone call while playing Dragon Age, the music just gets louder while you're looking at the menu. What the hell is that?
Now Oblivion's intro music had a good thing going where it started low, then increased as it went on. I like that because I watch movies on my xbox as well as playing games, and the volume differences are way different, so most games start out loud.
Also as a favor to us, can the game upon being started up go straight to the menu screen? We don't need to see fancy logo animations for who made the game. We know who made the game, it says so on the box. What is that screen that says "push start" for anyway? It doesn't do anything! Get to the menu already.
Any other comments concerning this type of thing are welcome.
World at war... Thats a Japanese instrument... Because you know... the games focus was kind in that area they would use it. (I personaly like that kind of music.) Also thats kinda how some Japanese music is.
Your problem with Dragon Age.. Push the mute on your TV you should not even have sound on your TV when on the phone makes it seem you are not even paying attention to the person you are talking to.
Oblivion would still get loud if you kept it going would it not? So you would still have to turn it down.
Its called advertising its how some of these smaller companies get to advertise since they dont have TV comercials and all that jazz. Also its kind of a loading screen. If you notice most games force you to watch at least some of that video. before letting you press a button to end it and bring you to the main menu. Others will just force you to stare at a loading screen then you get to the menu. also some times the have a contract with the person that helped with the game to make a video thing everytime you start the game.
All these problems seem to be a personal problem than a actual problem.
Get a phone call? Mute the TV. Pay attention to the person calling. you ffffffffff
Music getting to loud? well turn it down in the menu... iIs what that option is there for,
I dont have a problem with Dragon Age music getting louder when I pause it. So yeah personal problem.
