Purkake Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 How did i ever forget i about this one? While my love of SS2 knows no bounds, I always found its intro to fall a bit flat. Yeah, I was hoping this thread would show me some new intro's but do far it's mostly been people reciting their most favourite games. Come on, people, I'm sure noone really thinks Fallout or Neverwinter Nights 2 has the best intro they've ever seen.. Didn't you see my intro, I bet most people haven't even heard of the game.

aries101 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Best intro must either by the intro to Blackstone Chronicles or the intro to Daggerfall. I have watched them bouth on youtube, I think. Very very good introductions. The narrator in the first icewind dale game is kind of cool too. The best words in an intro must be these words: war war never changes Please support http://www.maternityworldwide.org/ - and save a mother giving birth to a child.

Kelverin Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Come on, people, I'm sure noone really thinks Fallout or Neverwinter Nights 2 has the best intro they've ever seen.. Sure I do, both FO. After viewing your two selections, I am convinced you have no taste. Do people really pay you for your opinions on games?

Musopticon? Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That goes both ways - your taste, going by the selections, doesn't leave me very impressed. Last Ninja 3 had an awesome intro for it's time. Though I remember the 1st game better. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Kelverin Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i also liked TOEE's - if only because it was great to see the battle of emridy meadows visualised. everything went downhill from there.

Qwerty the Sir Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 A couple of my favorites were: Icewind Dale - loved that Jerrod's Stone tale and the fact that Belhifet was the narrator NHL 99 - didn't like the game too much (the last of a long line of NHL games between the legendary 94 and the great 2000) but the intro was one of the best with a great song and great clips Michael Jackson's Moonwalker - car transform and the coin flip jukebox thing... all I remember thinking was "omg so cool and so pro" Planescape: Torment - creepy and interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Planescape: Torment - creepy and interesting Excellent intro I probably enjoyed it more the second and subsequent playthroughs though, since I sort of had an inkling of what was happening in it. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I could have sworn that the intro wasn't that long on the Amiga version. Too long since I played that one Great game though.

Gromnir Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) best game intro? who freaking cares? ... well, obviously some o' you folks care, but to Gromnir, we typically value intro as much as we does the box art... or the crappy tchotchke stuff that sometimes gets included with purchase: cloth map, dice, autographed photo o' radio-face developers, etc. for story driven games, an intro "movie" can effectively entertain and educate player... let audience know important stuff w/o resorting to tedious in-game dialogue. iwd, with winchester's narration and the storybook kinda art, were one o' the best approaches we can be recalling. even so... am all for building a strong intro, but typically game intros is pre-intro material... cut out the intro and most games would play exact same. HA! Good Fun!

Gorth Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Didn't we have a "best ending" thread once upon a time? Because I like the sound of my own voice: Funny, I don't really remember that many game intros, even from games played regularly or recently.<...snip...> I am more likely to remember game endings rather than intros. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
