Poll: Do you watch the opening cinematic's?

[thingymuwatsit]

Whether it is for a video (trailers/ intro) or a game (trailer/ opening cinematic) do you skip through the openings?
ummm, the poll isn't showing, help?

 

[delet]

Yes, I do. I like seeing those fancy things.

 

[Cherry Cola]

I watch the opening cinematic, yes. I don't see why I shouldn't

 

[ShakerSilver]

Sometimes, but usually no.

PS: Where's the poll?

 

[Last Bullet]

I always watch it the first time, rarely after that.

 

[thingymuwatsit]

I always do the first time around it. Any more, only if it is awesome and/or unskippable.

was that a deliberate reference?

 

[Cody211282]

I always do, I like playing games for the story and the opening one usually sets it up, and if not it's usually rather awesome.

 

[blankedboy]

In games, yes, unless I'm at a party or sumfin.

For the Escapist videos, only if it's online and not on my iPod.

 

[Melgrath]

Some of the opening cinematics are pretty amazing, so heck yea I watch em.

Rogue apostrophes hurt my brain!

Ahem.

On topic: Yes, of course. They are helpful for setting the scene, establishing the characters etc. Even if I happen to have already seen the opening cinematic already (for example, if I buy Fable 3, I will already have seen it's opening cinematic that hit the web quite recently), I will watch it again, to set the mood and remind myself of what's going on.

 

[Skobvs]

I watch them for the first time, every time I get a new game. Never know if there is some funny intro vids or story related ones. After that, I usually skip them.

 

[Blemontea]

I just skip them i didn't come here to know who made them i came to watch what you made, that reserved for the credits and back of the case.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Um, why wouldn't i? I don't see why anybody wouldn't.
