#stryxo #mainmenu #gaming
If you’ve watched my channel before you’ll know that I’ve talked about game interfaces and how they can effect the overall experience of a game. While obviously not the most important thing about a game, it’s something you’re likely to notice if it’s bad. Which is why instead of talking about something that’s bad, which I feel like i’ve done quite a bit, i’d rather talk about things I love.
Now, what’s the first thing you see when you open a game? Not the game turning your monitor on and off for some reason, and not all the company logos, or a trailer for new content, I’m talking about main menus, itt’s a game’s first impression on you. In the same way a handshake can tell you a lot about a person, a good main menu can tell you so much about a game and what it has in store for you. The tone, the setting, a good main menu conveys all of that through, usually, a simple background and a choice of music. A lot of people don’t think twice about main menus like this, usually because their first thoughts upon opening a game are “why is this so loud”, “where do i turn off motion blur?”, and “where are the subtitles”.
While main menus are primarily judged at first glance from a utilitarian perspective, that being how well they can get you from point A, the title screen, to point B, the game, or even point C, any of the settings I just listed, it usually isn’t until well past their hayday that they’re judged on the elements that seemed obvious at first glance. Sound effects, tone, theming, music, when done incorrectly, on either a utilitarian or artistic front, that handshake can feel more like a punch to the face.
Let’s start somewhere by talking about Kingdom Hearts, a franchise that can sometimes feel like a punch in the face. For a series that tells stories about disney characters, and final fantasy characters, and original characters, focusing on something like the main menu definitely seems…pointless. Most people that would talk about kingdom hearts would bring up it’s convoluted story line, how it came to exist in the first place, or how you should definitely play it considering the pc ports aren’t stuck in Epic Games exclusivity hell anymore.
I genuinely believe that Kingdom Hearts 1 has one of the greatest main menus ever created. It certainly doesn’t look as flashy as many other main menus, but what it does best is provide you with a feeling. Artwork of Sora staring out into the sea, a beautiful piano rendition of dearly beloved, and the sound of waves gently crashing amongst a shore. This game’s handshake is introducing you to the first location in the game, the waves and Sora holding a stick while looking out into the sea, it’s Destiny Islands, a sort of idyllic tropical paradise where Sora lives and has been growing up. It’s a common RPG trope, the humble beginnings, starting out in a small location or hometown that gets you used to what you’ll be experiencing through the rest of the game, but on a smaller scale. Fallout: New Vegas does this idea really well with the town of Goodsprings, and yes I understand these are very different games.
This main menu design, and the song Dearly Beloved, is a constant throughout the franchise, which also leads to a dedicated fan having a favorite. I could probably ask 10 different kingdom hearts fans what their favorite main menu is and they’d all tell me a different game, or even a different collection of games or collection of remakes. It is statistically possible that there is someone out there who is a super fan of the original Gameboy Advanced Chain of memories main menu theme that’s willing to fight someone who’s favorite is the Re:Chain of Memories version, which is the 3D remake of the game.
I’m off topic, what I think really matters here is that, I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts, I’ve been waiting for the ports to come to steam, and yet these main menus MEAN something to me. I feel this, I feel these main menus, with 0 hours in the game, and limited knowledge of the franchise.
To some people, any of these main menus could be considered too simple to be impressive. There’s no animated themed background like Black Ops 1, or Halo 3, and the menu doesn’t do anything special. Like how The Darkness’ casts a shadow on the writhing tentacles in the background, has the tentacles practically jumpscare you when you select a new option. Or how the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay has this sick cube that rotates and rebuilds itself depending on what options you press. Also yes this is the best quality footage I could find of this, the other video has a huge frapse watermark and I might just be the first

I love these "I love" type of videos. It's such a breath of positivity compared to most "I hate" videos that thrive here on KZbin. On another note, one of my favorite main menus is the one from Dying Light. The music combined with the glance at the city of Harran prepares you for the experiences that will come while actually exploring the city. It's a bit haunting and somber.

Another day, another shout out to Spec Ops: The Line. The menu set the tone well, I can still hear the faint guitar playing the star-spangled banner. It too evolved as you played the game, but to remind you of the absolute despair, less so where you left of. RIP Joe, the main menu sniper :(

[@DeltaWolf1000]

"Well do you feel like a hero yet?"

[@ryananggara01]

the best used of main menu, it demand the player to sit back first and to think “what have we done”, one of the best i’ve ever played, despite i usually didn’t like shooter genre at all (i have motion sickness) but i manage to beat that game on FUBAR difficulty, and it’s a nightmare fuel experience, much-much scarier than any horror games out there

[@BlassstProsussin]

That cheeky little Forza ad on 360 only had a demo. The game was delisted 2018.

[@aketsuuu]

The Xenoblade series undoubtedly takes the cake for menus for me. They're really beautiful and show so much yet so little.

[@Phirestar]

One of my absolute favorites is from a relatively recent game: Rain World. It can be a little difficult to appreciate as a person that is completely brand new or has never played the game before, but Rain World’s main menu screen manages to capture the atmosphere and the feeling that comes from playing the game. The background displays shots of different locations within the game’s world, and in the distance you can hear the ambient sounds of creatures moving around in the environment, the sounds of old, decrepit, industrial machinery, all accompanied by a music track that best describes the tone of the game: depressingly beautiful. It feels odd to say, but I felt intense nostalgia only a year or so after I played Rain World for the first time, in 2018, whenever I would sit and just take in the sights and sounds of its title screen. And I don’t think I’ve ever felt that of any other main menu, even games that I loved more than Rain World.

[@gooblergorp]

rain world mentioned

[@egarcia1360]

Just Cause 3's menu comes to mind; it looks like just a scenic backdrop animation, but, once you start moving, turns out to be the game itself already loaded in! Not sure how unique that is, but I don't remember having seen it since and it is a neat little touch.

[@rjumen1337]

Need for Speed SHIFT 2 had an intro video and a main menu that went incredibly HARD. That game actually got me interested in motorsports as a child. Also that roar when opening up GRID Autosport still gives me goosebumps.

[@qrowing]

"Lies of P" and "Sea of Stars" do that trick where they change the title screen based on story progression. Was pleasantly surprised each and every time it happened.

[@jamsaltifyouwill]

my personal favourite main menu might have to be in conker’s bad fur day, for both the n64 and xbox versions. no title screen, instead conker walks into his local pub. selecting your save/options/co-op is presented as conker aimlessly looking around the pub whilst being drunk (xbox version adds a few voice clips to emphasise this more). it fits the style of the game perfectly, and is very dynamic but simple as each selection is one at a time. i’m probably not explaining this very well but trust me, it’s good.

[@Efrayyyy]

My favorite home menu is the 3ds. The spinning 3d icons at the top and the size adjustable menu at the bottom that can be customized however you please. You can even blow in the mic to make the icons spin faster. They clearly had so much fun making it.

[@vdpt9911]

I think they also spin if you tap against the side or shake it a bit…wonder if we’ll ever see that kind of stuff again :(

[@liammcnicholas918]

Plus the icon on the box is what you see when the cartridge is inserted.

[@thecluckster3908]

Thank GOODNESS for mentioning Croc legends of the gobos, such an underrated gem of a game.

[@trailmixvids]

Xenoblade Chronicles will always have my favorite menu. Loading up the game to see the grass with the monodo sitting there, with the piano in the background almost never fails to put me in awe for a few minutes while I just let it play. Not to mention the day to night cycle on the menu, almost like they knew people would sit and watch it forever.

[@Selvanii]

12:31 it's been YEARS since i heard and i started tearing up

[@3elawi]

9:23 yup. I always say mirrors edge gives me some absolute nostalgia. I listen to introduction from the first game and catalyst from the 2nd game. songs from their soundtrack that genuinely get me floating. absolute nostalgia moment everytime I hear those songs. I knew I was gonna get that feeling from the first time I heard these songs in the game (Back in '11).

[@ventibaiter]

riffing off the half life 2 main menu, games with "post completion" changes in the main menu are some of the best menus in gaming. its like a little after credits cherry on top of the game. my personal favorite example of this is the persona 3 remaster. how it changes the ambiance from the cold, silent and anxious environment of the main menu while you play through the game to the bitter-sweet sunlight and cherry blossoms that peek through the window, accompanied by a toned down version of the soulcrushing credits theme, as the room no longer features any silhouettes of the main cast, but only the equipment of one of the members, as to symbolize the experiences we, as the player, have gone through. that entire game is cinema imo

[@combinefan2006]

i remember when i was younger i walked in on my dads computer with the hl2:ep1s main menu open on the underground parking area and watching a poison headcrab walk across it, and i can't stop thinking what a fun feature it is to have stuff happening even before you start the game that builds the world.

[@user_data_missing]

Stryxo is the type of guy who buys dvds for their menus and not the actual movie

[@CinnamonOwO]

0:20 that's prob because your default resolution, refresh rate, HDR and/or Aspect Ratio isn't the same as whatever the game settings have. If they match, they don't do this

[@Person-who-exists]

The main menu isn’t the only ui that matters, huds and inventory screens are more important; a game that does this really well is satisfactory which also has a great main menu

[@legocreator768]

I love Pokemon Mystery Dungeon's main menus and file select screen. They have a "View Artwork" button. It's amazing and all the art is beautifully drawn.

Stryxo returns to youtube with a topic that doesnt make him actually play the games he talks about. I love it

[@ryananggara01]

Spec Ops: The Line had the best main menu out all of game that i have played, it convey it’s story through it’s “sniper characters” and it changes depending on at what chapters you’re in, the use of Jimi Hendrix electric effect-heavy guitar cover of US anthem was captivating to convey the message of “horror of war” the same song Jimi perform at Woodstock back when Vietnam War still looming, the tone, the lighting, is slow and soft, it demand our attention and sit back for a while in the main menu to think for our “action” so far in the game (i don’t want to spoiler the story, but if you know, you know)

[@Infinity868]

Half-Life 2's menu choice also happened to make it look very very *clean* to this day, because it was all rendered. No matter what resolution or ratio you use, the text and background will always be sharp and clean. Valve's polish went beyond the quality of the assets by letting them adapt.

[@electrum5579]

My favorite main menus are probably the ones for Factorio and Risk of Rain 2. Everything you need is right there, very intuitive. Excellent music on both of them, Factorio has scenes that play out in the background that either show off some of what you'll be doing, funny things with the aliens, or just plain badass things like an artillery outpost (and the name of the game is in the scene!). Plus you can move the tab with the buttons aside or offscreen if you want to watch the scenes in all their glory. Risk of Rain 2 just plain looks good and the scene shifts in the submenus. I love the "outside in an early, cloudy, cool March morning" vibe that it has

World at War’s menu is one I will always remember, that eerie music fit the game’s dark tone perfectly.

[@triledink]

I remember alot of memorable main menus. Like the menu of amnesia the dark decent and it immediately goes ''Do you even dare to go on?'' Scary soundtrack and the scene of an open door with a lit torch. One other is Farcry 1 having kinda a tour going on while you see a piece of the island your gonna be on for the whole game along with the theme of the game. Metro, having a like a pov setting, like is you being there chosing the options. While the others is standing at the door watching you. I have always love intimidating menus like Gears of war 1 giving you a feeling of something serious going on. that melody along with the skull, gear and fire. Or more simple stuff like the dark souls menu's, especially the dark souls 2 menu with the sound effect of a sword along with the spoken words in latin ''Morte et dabot'' which means ''Dead and Gone'' along with the piano. Feels depressing, like you don't even have a chance to begin with. Though there are more relaxing main menus, like the Ratchet and clank games which its like you just observe what ratchet and/or ratchet and clank are doing without any music, just them doing their thing. There are alot more to talk about, but Im just giving some that I could think of right now.

I feel like Nintendo has the best menu screens as they insure that you have the experience they want you to. No graphical settings, no volume settings (if you don't count dialogue), not even anything remotely customizable. They made this game exactly how you want to experience, and they flexing it.

[@satriadicky3732]

Honorable mentions for Hitman : Contracts and Hitman : Blood Money, God Of War Games, Spec Ops : The Line, Metal Gear Solid 4. I love the contrast between the techno Hitman Contracts and Blood Money Ave Maria, its like 47 has found peace even if it comes at the cost of embracing his life purpose and stripping him off most of his humanity. In Contracts 47 is dying, in Blood Money its literally his funeral. God Of War 1,2 and 3 actually show us different type of rage. 1 show us an internal one, the flames isn't actually there once we hit play. 2 show us prideful rage, its when Kratos as a true god is at his most arrogant and viewed the other gods as beneath him. 3 show us pure sheer destructive rage with several catastrophes happening in the back, we get the feeling that this wasn't natural and that Kratos is responsible and doesn't care. Spec Ops : The Line have Joe the main menu sniper. Rest in piece, Joe😢 If there ever will main menu that describe "beauty" it will be MGS4.

[@shrobbyy]

[@randem_6503]

I had an idea for a video about main menus but I would have no idea how to write a script or edit it together, but here’s just a few of the menus I noted down as wanting to talk about somewhere: Borderlands 2, the calm music as your character looks out over the world, you can see a bunch of specific areas you’ve been to or will go to if you look close Simpson hit and run has a bunch of small details and gags that show up if you sit on the menu for a bit, and all the options are represented as areas and objects in the room Ultrakill, the calm music and the swooshing of falling through the elevator shaft is a nice reset to come back to after an intense play session Medal of Honour European Assault has some incredible music on the menu the gets you right into the setting Castle crashers has an absolutely awesome main menu theme which contrasts kind of funny with how silly the rest of the game is There’s a bunch more but this comment is getting long :/

[@smellslikesouls]

my favorite menu has to be starbounds. that title track combined with looking out at space over a planet just makes me tear up it’s so beautiful and contemplative. it’s a very flawed game but that title screen feels like everything they were going for in a vacuum and i love it. i’ll always have a soft spot for starbound

[@ThommyofThenn]

Note: I would submit the War Thunder "main menu" such as it is. Depending on if you last played aircraft, ships or land vehicles, the menu shows your vehicle in harbour or hangar. Repair crews chat in the background or work on your tanks. It also explains the auto-repair mechanic, the repair crews are replacing damaged stuff bit by bit. Meanwhile other tanks either drive around in the background or are taking target practice. It's pretty neat imo Anyone else has not played Kingdom Hearts? My old flatmate played one remaster, I didn't play any but i liked the mix of anime and western cartoon stuff

[@leolopp]

When we had the wii, dsi and even wiiu I hated their UIs. But after going to school for graphic design and seeing the windows 8 hellscape of modern UI I came to realize just how much we lost. It wasn't even just form over function, I could fit all my 3ds games on one screen!

Halo 3's main menu can literally bring me to tears when I think about the many childhood days and nights partied up with friends I'll never see again, playing custom games.

[@gameext_fr]

My personal favorites main menus are from Signalis and Omori, with Signalis we have a close up to the eye of our protagonist following our cursor with a radio sound in the background, it gives you a sensation of loneliness and anxiety, which make sense because you are in an infected station on a planet with no sign of life anymore, except for the monsters that will chase you. For Omori it's just the character looking in front of him on a white background with a piano playing a kinda sad and nostalgic music and it gives you a vibe that i rarely felt on main menu. Also both of these game change the main menu depending of what ending you've got and also gives a second meaning of the music after you've finish the game.

[@FredMorgan-gb5el]

Persona 5 main menu is sick

[@Luxius_8]

Astral Chain, Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles all have main menus/title screens showing the environment where the game takes place, but they do it in a different way that fits each game. Splatoon's title screen is centered around the multiplayer lobby and changes during events. It has no music but instead plays the sound of a bussling metropolis. Xenoblade Chronicle's main menu shows a fraction of the massive open world you've yet to explore, along with calm piano. Astral Chain's main menu changes depending on the chapter and has a futurisitic ambience.

[@refat17]

For me it's Saya no Uta, which has an inverse tone from the game itself, taking your guard down before you start the game, or as a nice bit of comfort before you jump back into hell.
