Your Favorite Game opening/intro
- Thread starter Steven Biehler

I'm not sure as to my favourite, but I have a couple.
Firstly, the intro the MGS4. Contrary to what most people seem to get out of it, I rather liked the plotgasm that was the game.
The old Call of Duty games always had good intros. Infinity Ward knew how to do them well, and the Russians always provided great fodder for "heroic last stand" moments.
What made this even better was the fact that the Russians were only handing out rifles to every other soldier, with the guy behind the rifleman getting ammo: "The first gets a rifle, the second, ammunition. When the first is killed, the second takes his rifle and fights!"
So, naturally, you get ammunition for the first bit, which only serves to immerse you further.

"Not enough knowledge"? Assumptions much? I've been playing video games since the 80's. I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of intros. I stand by my opinion. If you think that is somehow wrong, then the problem's most definitely on you.Johnny-Natrium said:
Well yes it was an assumption and I knew it all along but if you've actually experienced some of the much better intros then I'm appalled but content with your opinion.Iwata said:
So is Borderlands styled like a film made in that game's universe? What with those false credits and everything...Andy Shandy said:I have a fair few intros that I like but one that I haven't seen posted as a video yet at least is the Borderlands intro, so here it is
It was a cool intro.
Allow me to introduce something you yourself said in another thread that vastly improves your original quote:
See, these things work both ways. You want people to respect your opinions, then start by enforcing that sentiment yourself.Johnny-Natrium said:
Well I knew full well what I was saying there and there's no need for "improvement"Iwata said:
I'm not out for respect for my opinions really, I treat the kind of opinions that say "This is better than That" more like facts. There's a lot of arguments involved and I'm sure to enforce my opinions with arguments, in my mind, before coming to a conclusion as to which would be the best of a certain group.
Killzone is, just factually, not the franchise with the best intros around.
Now if I were in a conversation with you, I would explain this all to you, elaborately, but this is costing me too much time. I really don't care all that much what you think of this now.
I remember back in 6th grade that when we finished all our assigned work and no tests were coming up that there was a computer in the back with a Green toy soldier figurine FPS. The teacher didn't have the disk for it but all of us (us meaning boys) would crowd into the back and watch the opening cinematic over and over...and pretty much everything final fantasy...and new vegas.
i will admit i always did love this one, the narration/pep talk is amazing background for whats going on and always gets me in the mood to kill some grubsTerminate421 said:
