Best game opening

[kidwithxboxlive]

Mass Effect 2.

I can't wait to see what they do to top it in 3, or if they try a totally different approach.

dam that epilouge left me crapping myself for more

 

[icame]

Bioshock, Uncharted 2, and finally Mass effect 2.


I know these have all been said, but there here for a reason.

Dissidia's intro, it's to ultimate fan service opening in the history of fan service

oh god i remember putting the game in for the first time and watching that...my hands were shaking from how much of a nerdgasm i was having watching that, all that awesomeness mixed into one opening intro...then the game turned out to be just as epic...gahhh i want to buy that game again!

*glares* You FOOL!! why would you get rid of it, you shame your PSP by not having it!! XD

Just kidding, could have lost it for a number of reasons, but yeah, thats some head exploding fan service right there.

unfortunately my statics book for engineering cost a buttload and thats all i had to sell at the time to make some quick cash =\ and of fucking course we didn't use it again after that, i was so pissed off, i looked like a crack addict without crack for the next week not having that game anymore

Left 4 Dead I have to avoid watching it every time it starts up, otherwise I'm trapped until it finishes.

I just usually give up, sit back, and enjoy the cinematics.

OT: Bioshock had quite a good opening, and I think I am the only one the only person I can think of who enjoyed going through the first vault in Fallout 3

Alright, I found another really good one, so much that I really want to purchase this game now. I've been watching my roommate play it and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun to play Co-op.

Actually this opening cinematic was quite good as well.

Recently, the only game that's blown me away with the opening (Pre-title card I consider the opening) would be Mass Effect 2. It was incredibly well done, it seems a great opening is something most games don't bother with lately.

For opening cinematics...Hard to beat Blizzard, they always did know how to sock you in the gut before throwing the title card in your face. I was always partial to the Diablo 2 opener myself. "What could I do? I followed him. And from that day, we traveled together. To the east, always into the east."

Resonance of Fate's opening(s) were fantastic. First one is the teaser thing you get before the main menu comes up if you don't skip it. Vashyron = badass. The second one is once you've hit 'new game'. Bright, intricate, sparkly... I was hooked right away.

I dont really care for intros, cinematics and so on.. I buy a game to play and not watch
