"Proper story supposed to start at the beginning. Ain't so simple with this one..."
Definitely one of the better ones out there.

My friends and I quote this endlessly. Best game series of that console generation, potentially?

Also should give a shout-out to the opening line from Limbo: "..."

"Rise and Shine... mMister Freeman"

But I hope more originally:


Paul MUTHAFUCKIN Eiding. Whether he tells you to rescue the Darpa Chief or destroy Diablo, you do what he says!

if only Paul Eiding could introduce every game...


"Rise and shine... Snake..."

The pickings are getting a mite slim...So, instead of yet another Fallout 3 post...Something a bit less awe-inspiring, but effective nonetheless. As with most of the game, the intro is juuuust slightly influenced by a movie. Here, A Clockwork Orange.

"Well, there I am: Conker, the King. King of all the land...It's a long story. It all started yesterday..."

- Conker's Bad Fur Day

"I have not told half of what I saw. I was sure no one would believe me." -Marco Polo

And then that bitching opening with the train.

There have been some good ones, but sadly you all fail utterly to grasp the most magnificient start of a videogame that has ever been made and will ever been made.
I know, I know this sounds quite arrogant but knowing the truth can be harsh...

Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: Main screen turn on.
CATS: [HEADING=1]All your base are belong to us.[/HEADING]
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Captain: For great justice.

"It is a good life we lead brother" -Ezio's brother

"The best. May it never change." -Ezio

"And may it never change us." Ezio's brother. Cue sweeping orchestral score.

First time I can say I felt like I was playing a movie
I never realized how awesome those lines were until now. Thank you, good sir!

"Most people think time is like a river, that flows swift and sure in one direction.
But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: They're wrong.
Time is an ocean in a storm.
You may wonder who I am, and why I say this.
Sit down, and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard."

- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

"Well, what about Shepard?"

Not so much the quote in itself. But when you think of everything, in-universe and out, the spun outwards from that line... *awesome tingle*

Ron Pearlman's openings for Fallout games are always pretty cool.
They make me think of the intro to The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Halo:CE's opening was pretty memorable

"metal is dead"
the truth of that statement made me want to weep
What makes you think that?

"The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace..."

Here is the complete intro if anyone wants to see it.

Great intro, too bad Other M had to crap up Metroid story telling so bad.

edit for typo
