Report RSS Hints or story text during the load times

Posted by on

You play the game & the load time appears with hints or tips or a little background story.
I dunno about you but I love reading those. They help me get through the game easier or they help me understand the story a bit better.

However, the developers don't really have logic in their mind for this design.
Let's take the example that is Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Story text appears & I'm reading it. Because my PC is decent enough, load times are short thus missing out the rest of the text. Is it so hard to implement a prompt that tells you to press any key to continue, so that I can read it in peace?

Funny thing about this is that games with no text during the load screens, have this prompt.
It's the other way around for some odd reason.

Here are the solutions:
A) Give me hints during the gameplay or in the menu, otherwise implement that prompt to continue after the game is loaded.
B) Try to approach in a different way with the background stories, otherwise implement that prompt to continue after the game is loaded.

It's that easy.
