Surely that's an honorable way of thinking, but it's flawed in some respects. When opinions of something being the best in the world, are based on not enough knowledge of the many better things, it's not wrong to judge this opinion.Iwata said:
Not the opening, but the best "intro" EVERSteven Biehler said:what is your favorite video game opening/intro mine comes from a little game from the ps1 called Roll-cage Stage II. It was a futuristic racing game with a boat load of weapons one of which if used while powered up (get same weapon while having one in 1 of 2 weapon slots) would jump you ahead TWO places. Another one would if it connected (and did not back fire from over charging) would freeze a car for about 6-8 seconds.
Here is the intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2gnC1DcG2o&feature=youtu.be
Good God I Loved THIS GAME!!!!
sadly a sequel was never made.
The intro to Fahrenheit was absolutely fantastic. Helped largely by probably the best opening mission in games.
Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 had wonderful intro cinematics, but that doesn't really count. So, yeah, Fahrenheit.

Any intro that can be skipped is fantastic in my book. I'll watch it the first time, then skip it on a subsequent playthru thank you very much. If you make your intros unskippable, I don't care how good they are, I hate them.
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
Ain't No Rest For The Wicked just so happens to be one of my favourite songs as well, so here's the song in it's entirety

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:
