DarkReign2021 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Seeing so many awesome and nostalgia-packed games here ^_^ It's making me want to replay everything. Just picking out a few of my favorites from those listed. Dead or Alive Ultimate- That was the video that truly sealed my love for the Dead or Alive franchise. The gorgeous graphics, the always-amazing Aerosmith, and the enormous amount of backstory for 3 of my favorite characters in the series. I only wish that the action game that was supposed to be based on this video hadn't been scrapped. Starcraft: Brood War- I remember when I first bought that game. Had no idea what it was about and only got it because my friend had it and told me to get it so we could play together. I actually skipped the opening video my first few times playing and got straight into the game. Eventually I decided I would sit through it and see what it was all about and it blew me away how large some of those in-game units actually were (I.E the Battlecruisers) Plus I'll never forget how non-chalant the terran was listening to his music. No better sign that he's just said fuck it and ready for everything to end. Half-Life 2- This opening was brilliant in a way that it was so simple. Nothing special happened and it's almost a direct rip from the opening used in the first Half-Life, but that was part of it's charm. This game didn't need to be over-the-top and flashy to be great and this certainly made it's point. The Gman dialog in the beginning served only to add more to the mysteryalready surrounding him and the brilliance of the dialog and his performance was something I actually used as a backdrop to a presentation I had to give once. It was the perfect open to my subject, although regrettably I no longer seem to remember what the subject was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenderPowguin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice thread. There are so many... Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - so funny, it had me hooked. I haven't finished it yet, but from the intro I knew this was going to be an epic game. Aside of the hilarious beginning movie, the tutorial was also just plain awesome! Skip to 1:25 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ok44l9LUg]Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Walkthrough/Gameplay - Intro - Part 1 [No Commentary] - YouTube[/ame] Wild Arms 2 - I don't know what it is about this song, and intro movie, but it's just so damn epic to me. Plus, it's a badass game! Bring it to the One, please! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-5WOV2YRGU]Wild Arms 2 Intro - YouTube[/ame] Mega Man 2 - So, it seems like I'm taking a nostalgic approach here, but seriously, when I was a kid, that intro had me wet. Also, Mega Man has some of the best 8-bit music around! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQv90TfXrI]Mega Man 2- Intro - YouTube[/ame] Edit: Hmm, I tried to add the videos via spoilers, but that isn't really working for me... so, sorry for those with slow 'puters!

bryan2369 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 GTA V, best opening because it's PLAYABLE! Right off the bat you're knocking off a bank and then fighting off a bunch of cops. AWESOME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barad Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Judging from this thread it seems most badass intros are from back in the day, no solid good intros are made anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Judging from this thread it seems most badass intros are from back in the day, no solid good intros are made anymore. Nah there's still plenty of awesome happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Tonsil Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We Love Katamari is probably my favourite intro to any game, weird, colourful and with some of the best music created for any game. I'd post a video but i can't find one of sufficient quality to do it's magnificence justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggD Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Or just two in the last fact years in fact. Nothing has caught my attention in a long time. The only ones I can think of are Hitman and Dishonored myself :/ Hitman because he gets a contract to kill his boss, and Dishonored because the dude gets framed for murdering a queen. Those aren't necessarily the best, but pretty cool, imo Max Payne 3's intro was pretty funky, too, now that I think about it. But leave it to me to have something good to say about that game lol.

I forgot about Hitman Absolutions intro, the women in the shower..was a pretty decent intro to the game indeed. Max Payne 3's one was a little depressing which is it'd get credit I suppose. Watching it everytime you'd start a new playthrough kind of got mind numbing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerofox Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Only one intro has me hooked ever since I played this game. It's the combination of the song and the pictures.
