They are ridiculous!

Do they actually help movie/game sales? They seem expensive to make and are just annoying to me, takes ages to get to the content and stuff.

Well try looking at the media -> pictures on the first site, there's a loading screen and a little animation before every image.
Instead I googled darksiders with cooliris
In both cases it's so obvious that the art team behind the actual project had nothing to do with the art direction of the website, it's painful...

Limited flash used, lots of videos, no transitions, good deal of info that people actually care about.
I friggin' hate that shit. And it's not just on official movie and video game stuff either... I've seen this crap used on the official sites of video game companies, too. Like, when I'm looking to check job oppurtunities and more about companies and whatnot.
Has anyone ever gone to the official Rockstar site? GOD, that is the HARDEST site I've ever had to navigate. I couldn't find how to get to the page I wanted, and when I finally did, part of the screen was cut off at the button, and it was impossible to scroll down.
But I suppose that's a bit different than what you're talking about.... either way, can't remember which offhand, but I HAVE seen gaming studio's sites crammed with this over-the-top, painful loading crap on their sites too :P THE MADNESS MUST END!
no kid is dumb enough to put his real age and get stuck
Having spare HD space and a recent defrag seems to help video/streaming stuff load a lot faster though.
Both sites linked worked fine on my now 6 year old machine.
Pretty sure it's just to cover their asses legally by saying they took a precaution to keep kids out.
Yeah I loaded the Darksiders site earlier and it took a very long time to load, I was really surprised by the time the bar hit the end.
Can't they just do the porn thing, "are you 18?"
Doesn't really help either, you just lie, and most of them even make the year list from 2009 and down, so you have to grab the slider to scroll down, since they always make them unscrollable.
Flash sites blow, they suck more than this economy and the update made to photoshop cs4 and Max 2010. They suck more than my paycheck. Flash sucks and the ahole that thought it was cool to make shitty tool bars in Max and Photoshop deserves a freaking....
