Why do...

most games say "Push Start" at the menu screen, but pushing any button does the same thing? Shouldn't it say "Push any button"? Yes, I realise this is a stupid topic, but that's what the flood is for.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Slayd722 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jabba The Halo but you could ask the same question of why is the start button still called "start"? seems like calling it "pause" would be more accurate. i'd be surprised if they ever changed the start button though, it's just too traditional. [/quote] I would think that now, with the beginnings of an online console gaming movement, it would be more a "menu" button.[/quote] agreed.

  • Umm... I AM one of those old respected members of the forums... And that's what it's always been used for; stupid or off-topic posts. That's what this is. A stupid and/or off-topic post.

  • not necessarily stupid or ridiculous, but random. are you saying that you can make your own rules for the forum since you have "seniority" here? he's not spamming, he's not flaming, he's not violating anything.

  • "Those of you looking for a place to spill your over-filled containers of nonsense, here's the place. This forum is for things not related to Bungie or their games." this is exactly what this forum is for. but you could ask the same question of why is the start button still called "start"? seems like calling it "pause" would be more accurate. i'd be surprised if they ever changed the start button though, it's just too traditional.

Yes, I realise this is a stupid topic, but that's what the flood is for.[/quote] Well first of all no that is not what the Flood is for and don't quote the line underneath the title, it is not an acurate representation of the Flood and secondly they say "Push Start" because it is the most logical thing to say at the start of a game. Besides some games require you to actually push start.
