Best intro?

Half Life 2, Bioshock and Mass Effect 2.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

Aw man I almost teared up watching that again. Hadn't seen it since I was really young but I remember every single part of it. As soon as you said it the song played in my head and I was saying "Transcending history and the world" :lol: So epic

Namco-Bandai could take all of my money if they made an HD remake of that game and didn't f*ck with the combat. It's one game I actually want to see get that treatment.

call of duty 2, final fantasy x, god of war 1. good stuff

Homeworld and Homeworld 2

Don't know what the exact specifications are to be considered an intro, but here are my favorites in no particular order.

Left 4 Dead

God of War 3

Civilization 4 and 5

Arkham Asylum

Bioshock 1 and 2

Fallout 3

Metal Gear Solid 2

Super Smash Bros 1and 2(Brawl was nothing more than a montage of scenes already in the game)

Banjo Kazooie

And I suppose all of Blizzard's CGI intros :P

TC is a mega weeaboo.

true. XD

I like very few media coming from the west. Beside music and movies I really don't like much else. It's just that Japanese creativity can't be matched and I love the fact that they acknowledge violence, sex and stuff which most of the western media doesn't even dares to and are always hiding behind an artistic wall when trying something new.

When you watch anime like Ghost in the Shell and Zeta Gundam and have been playing their games since when you were a kid (Mario, Zelda, etc.) you learn to appreaciate Japanese entertainment. When I play western games I find most of them to be so boring because of their realism and nothing about them ever surprises me. Games like GTA, Battlefield, Skyrim, Crysis, Dragon Age, Killzone they all bore me to death. The very few western games I like are: Deus Ex, Uncharted, God of War, Rainbow Six, Fear Effect, Legacy of Kain, Mass Effect and I really can't think about anything else at the moment.

I mean, where else you'll find genres like: guro, netorare, cartoon sex, tentacles of sex, kids beating a god and saving the world, adults cosplaying, etc.? Japanese people look boring on the outside but in the inside they all have some crazy imagination (and don't jump on me for generalizing!). But to be honest, I haven't been a fan or current Japanese entertainment though. The new anime trends, idol obsessions, garbage games like Neptunia... I'm not liking any of it.

Anyway, this is why I don't and never will like the Xbox. I feel like a Japanese console will always have the most support from Japan and they are the ones that make the games that I care the most.

I'm quite fond of Morrowind's intro and Portal 2's intro.

Oh and Mass Effect 2's intro was also pretty @#$%ing cool.

Wild Arms =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVOFibwVMw0

Final Fantasy VI =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDMWp1oLoA0

First two that come to mind

Mirror's Edge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UPi5uiKIls&hd=1

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIqJaT3cvf8&hd=1

I actually thought Max Payne 3's was very powerful. Call of Duty 4's first gameplay level followed by the logo was just epic too

Final Fantasy VI =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDMWp1oLoA0

DJ-Lafleur

I'm not alone! :cry:

Seriously I love that game so much. I've never been drawn it to the world of a game so quickly as I was with FFVI.

MGS2/MGS3 intro >>>>>>>> MGS4 intro all dayprinceofshapeir

We have a thread about your favorite game but what about the best intro? Look around youtube and post as many as you want. Which ones are your favorites? And by intro I mean any kind, it doesn't matter if it's the one before or after the start menu. It can be from any gen...

MGS4 Best I've seen so far. Period.

Chrono Trigger You just have to hear the music and the anxiety will consume you.

Chrono Cross I just like it.

FF8 Pretentious as hell but still good. Easily the most artistic intro of all the FF games to date.

Megaman 8 Can't deny it. The intro isn't that good but the nostalgia factor and cheesy music....

Yakuza 3 This game man, this game... Underrated as hell. I already got the fourth one but haven't been able to play it yet. :cry:

Super Metroid I don't know how they did it but they did it. And the thing is that it is so simple yet so amazing at the same time. In part Nintendo should be grateful to Sony for that sound chip, they could have end up with a super crappy one like the Sega Genesis.

Merex760

i agree

The GTA IV blows my mind every time:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VS6mgnnKog(The first 4 minutes.) Especially when that music kicks in at 0:20.

F.E.A.R.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-QfrYhn2gQAmazing sense of dread. The music at 1:20.. how can that not move you?!

Mass Effecthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tBFPy8sauwAgain, this one is all about the music. It's the beginning of one of the most amazing journeys in videogame history.

Modern Warfare 2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tn2zuMbuFMI know the hate for COD is strong on this forum, but you can't deny the awesomeness of this intro.

Bioshockhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgDEh3UN404Can't talk about videogame intros without mentioning this one. When Rapture is first revealed at 4:25, I almost piss my pants.

Probably many more that I can't remember at the moment.

MGS2/MGS3 intro >>>>>>>> MGS4 intro all daydommeus

Most of MGS4 itself is bloated anyway

[QUOTE="dommeus"][QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] Agreed, MGS4's intro is just silly.

Most of MGS4 itself is bloated anyway

Snake's ass is bloated

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="dommeus"] He says "war has changed" about 10 times. Like most of MGS4, the writing is bloated and unnecessarily verbose.princeofshapeir

I must admit I laughed at that one
