even if this question isn´t pointed at me , i gotta say : hell yeah, i do!

worst example is EA with their neverending intros in almost eyery game.made me especially mad in BF2, i´m glad that it was so easy to remove that.

I totally agree on that, EA gotta be the worst when it comes to that.

I'm removing the intro(s) from the self-made rips of pretty much every game I have. (They go into separately installable "modules".) Like who the hell would want to watch the same, mostly uninteresting and boring, little movies for the Nth time?!

I guess some of these game designers think that gamers are impressed by long and often boring introduction videos to games. Personally, I think that there is nothing more insulting than to have to sit thru a long introduction every time you launch an un-modified version of the game!

At least some of the games allow you to click through these intros, but for the ones that do NOT, I say thank GOD for the no-intro fixes!!!

By the way, the same can be said about "intros" on factory (i.e. not home video) DVD's, as well. I'm very happy that AnyDVD can get rid of them automatically; having to sit through up to almost a minute of boring junk would make me scream...

@Joe

having to sit through up to almost a minute of boring junk

Geez you guys get it easy in Hungary!
We normally sit thru at least 5 to 20 minutes worth of junk in Australia, thats including trailers of course.

And some of the game intro's are nice to watch but only once or twice then its nice to be able to escape out of them.
And yes those which dont allow you to escape are just downright annoying.

Oh, well, dunno, whatever... I launch AnyDVD right away whenever wanting to watch a factory DVD so I don't know the usual length of DVD "intros"!

I second that EA seems to be the worst Publisher for intros.. with Ubisoft close behind

The worst Intros are the piracy warnings on DVDs... They have a a crappy anti-piracy commercial running on NTSC that can't even be skipped... I'll be looking into Any DVD

One has to wonder when the same shitty anti-piracy and FBI warnings are opening your next round of Quake, of Half-Life

The ironic part.... those warnings are stripped from the pirated copies.. making them as effective as a one-armed juggler.
