Bunch of cranky old internet people, we are...
I managed to avoid any marketing of ME2 by being a PS3 pleb, so not knowing anything about it until it got a PS3 release, and this was my first impression, so that probably made it even better for me.Saviordd1 said:
My immediate thought was the rendered part of Red Alert 2's intro. By that I mean this:
I get chills everytime.

I'm not sure you actually READ my post. I said on an epic (as in, great animation, flashy, cool, blah blah blah), Gears of War and God of War win. I said as in my preference, Persona 3 wins. Why? I really like it. Its as simple as that. It doesn't have to impress you.Elmoth said:
Oh my god, that was like a shot of nostalgia straight to the brain!dimensional said:

I think I'm done here *dusts off hands*.
Though to add some content, I knew nothing of the game going in. Knew a vague premise, but nothing else to expect. The intro took my heart.

I'd say Bioshock has the best intro ever.
It's absolutely perfect in every way. From the crash, to finding the old lighthouse with faded music playing, to Andrew Ryan's presentation of his objectivist paradise, to finally beholding the city itself. Everything flows brilliantly, the music is spot-on for every instance in which it is used. A great intro to a great game.
F.E.A.R also had a great intro. It brilliantly sets the scene for the entire game, and instigates a desire to understand what's going on. It's just a shame that we don't get to hear Peter Laurie (Fettel's voice actor) in the opening. Monolith is great at making really neurotic characters, and they always pick the best voice actors for them.

didn't affect me, really, as I didn't know shit about ME2 up until 5 months of it being released (yeah I've been living in a cave of sorts) so it worked for me, although I did play ME before itSaviordd1 said:
this one too, I really loved it for nostalgia reasonsNoxman said:
and then Quake 3 came out and I didn't know anymore if the Quake 2 protagonist was either Bitterman or Grunt =P
as for my own pick
I loved how it showed the actual war going on between the UAC and the Hellspawn, before Taggart was sent in =P
also, that theme rocks
A perfect intro for a fantastic game.
captcha: road less traveled.
What a very fitting captcha for this game.
X-Men 2: Clone Wars, the only game (afaik) to use a cold open. That is, the game starts as soon as you turn on the console, and you only get the title screen after beating the first level.
