Back when it first came out and had some of the most realistic graphics ever, the ending to Onimusha: Warlords was five levels of fucking awesome.
Well, it wasn't that they didn't look awesome, it was just the numerous amounts of cutscenes for a very lacking story didn't help me to like them any better. Also, the attempt at emotion when he finds his wife almost made me laugh (no attempt to save her, just put her out of her misery like you would a horse?), and the raw dripping testosterone from each character gives me no connection to them, so prolonged expose to their attempted acting seemed futile. Also, Cole was probably the most annoying "token black guy" I have encountered in any game or movie.Hydrus said:That's odd, because I thought the cut scenes were fantastic. The intro cutscene in number 2, and the one where the Raven gets shot down in number 1 in particular. They're pretty epic. Why did you find them annoying?super_smash_jesus said:I don't have a favourite cutscene, but my most hated are all the cutscenes in Gears of War 2, they annoy me to no end.
Also, the +1 to the Left 4 Dead intro.

Consoles and pcs are one comparable since pcs are always upgraded/discarded in favor of newer.Abedeus said:Where is PC?
This is exactly what I was thinking when I entered this thread. I'm sure I've seen other great ones, but this one stands out in my memory the most.NoMoreSanity said:How does the poll and topic relate? And I'm not sure if this counts, but in Bioshock:
Watching Andrew Ryan's ending speech on a man and a slave, and revealing you are a slave to the words "Would you kindly?".

It wasn't the worst voice acting I have ever heard in a game, but it wasn't the greatest. I just generally don't play a lot of games with cutscenes, and when I do, the games usually have a story or likeable characters, that you actually care what the story behind them is.
I second that... a heart racingly wonderful orgy of suspense, violence and good old fashioned epic adventure!Peetah1218 said:the grand finale of mass effect, it makes me shudder with excitement every time i see it
