If your hardware is too slow for the default settings, have fun sitting through a slideshow until you get the option to tweak things.

Yeah, I hate games which display some actual 3D scene or something as a background of title screen/menu. The only thing it's good for is making the loading of the game take more time.

hmm...quite right there...

Or even better, the game decides to start up in a resolution higher than that of your monitor, leaving you struggling to click on buttons near the edges of the screen. (This could be worked around by making the default resolution low or making it match the native resolution, but I've sometimes had trouble with games or other applications that don't fit on my 1024x600 netbook screen.)

Personally I'm fine with "normal" menu screens - I like having a familiar interface to work with when I start up a game.
