Best opening sequence.

[SplashyAxis]

I think Half Life and it's 'calm before the storm' type opening is really good. Simple, yet very, very effective. And then when the shit hits the fan after the resonance cascade, it just becomes out and out awesome.

oblivions oppening was rubbish imo. it was sooo boring to walk through those dungeons. i hated it. that's my opinion anyway.

I'm not talking about the first dungeon, I'm talking about "I was born 87 years ago..." etc., right up to the character-creation screen.

that was still boring for me. "Huray! now we can listen to some old NPC talk about his life! WOOT!"
LOL. anyway, i enjoyd the game, (not as much as fallout), but i didn't like the oppening sequence.

Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty's opening just wow

I admit a certain bias because Oblivion was the first game I bought for my shiny new (and still very much viable) uber-gaming PC in 2006. I'm the furthest thing in the world from a graphics whore (Simutrans. Pak64. I rest my case.) but seeing what modern hardware could do after I spent $1600? Yum. You never forget your first love, I guess...and Oblivion was my first "modern" game graphics-wise.

 

[Venom 3135]

twewy was a half decent oppening sequence too. silent hill 2, the suffering, the getaway, also, the darkness opening sequence was great too.

 

[Engarde]

I remember enjoying Mass Effects. Have not played it in some time, so I do not know why.

 

[Axolotl]

The best in my mind would be the opening for Half-Life 1.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

That was awesome, but KH1 and 2 are great too.

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts

Calumon: Yay Roxas!

EDIT!

OH CRAP I FORGOT TWEWY!


Calumon: Huh, that's alot of Square Enix...

i dont care much for graphics either. Any way, now i can see where your coming from.


Just remebered, i loved mirrors edge's prolouge oppening level. (not the tutorial).

 

[Venom 3135]

That was awesome, but KH1 and 2 are great too.

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts

Calumon: Yay Roxas!

i agree with the kingdom hearts 1 and 2. Not the best, but very good. I hate Roxas though...grrrr...anyway...


-sorry for double post-

Without a shadow of a doubt, the opening to Dawn of War II. It is too awesome to be legal.

"I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU"​

Hey, dawn of war (the first that is) had pretty awesome openings as well, together with its expansions. Like in dark crusade:

Damn, I'd hate to be that marine.​

 

[gjendemsjo]

Bioshock(of course), I have memorized Andrew Ryan's speech.
Donkey kong 64, I have also memorized this song(although that was years ago, I only remember parts of it now.)
Call of Duty 4, I consider the boat mission to be the opening of this game, and boy was it intense!
Paper Mario 64, it blew me away as a kid, considering just how we were supposed to save the princess this time with bowser's castle way up in the sky.

 

[instantbenz]

conker easily. even more specifically the intro for live and reloaded. as his fur didn't look dangerously sharp.

ah, technology.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

or


Both are aided by amazing music.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Classic game, with a classic intro. Looks dated, but plays as good as ever.

 

[DuplicateValue]

As usual, I'm gonna go with the D-Day sequence from MOH: Frontline.
