Most boring opening movie in a game.

What is the most boring open to a game, that you seen or experiences?

My would be Microcosm here a link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7UnMTqnK1Y

There is no narration to tell you what going on nor any music.

Do not throw anything at me, ok? I hate intros of Civ 3 / 4. There is no style and recognizability in it, like it was in 1 / 2 / ToT, and it's too pompous. Also all those meaningless intros of other modern strategy games keep enraging me...

How can Age Of Empires III Intro be so empty, while intros of I and II were so rich?..

Dwarf Fortress intro is pretty dull sadly.

Both Left 4 Dead games have excellent into movies however, probably some of the best.

 

[Jos Ballenbak]

Most awesome intro song is: Franck Klepacki's Hell March with Red Alert

Worst... is EU3 because after the movie psyches you up the 5 minute load wears it down.

Freelancer is definitely one of the best.

I found the M2TW video to be pretty boring after the first viewing.

I really like AoE2's though. To this day it is one of my all time favorites; it never gets old!

AoE2's into movie was/is awesome, although if it was released today it would be awful

Not an opening movie but I found the start of Fallout 3 to be terminally dull.

Age of Empires 2 and both Left 4 Dead games are definitely great examples of opening movies though.

Maybe graphically it's a bit outdated but the whole chess game / battle thing will always be awesome.

I forgot about the chess Ah yes, too bad I uninstalled it recently, the nostalgia is creeping up on me again.

 

[tycoonist]

i don't know about worst, but the best is the deus ex opening...

"better than kings.... Gods!"

 

[Esckey]

Best? X-Com 1&2 and Dawn of War 1&2


Worst ummmm there are so many to choose from. I'm not a big fan of World of Warcraft's opening

I couldn't agree more. Wished there was a way to just skip through the opening intro of Fallout 3.

 

[Maniacal]

There are at least several mods that skip the beginning of Fallout 3...

Final Fantasy X's is pretty dull, and you're forced to watch it over and over again.

Act of war: Direct aciton.

Its basicly a news cast then later some government people talking

It's been a while since I've played, so I can't remember exactly.

 

[Murky]

MoO3 had a pretty boring intro, except for the face-hugging thing attacking the human, scene. Most of the original Neverwinter Night intros are horrible; I can't bear watching them.

Off top of my head, I thought the Dawn of War (first one) intro movie was the most gripping one ever, though I liked the Battlefield 2 one as well. Joint Operations had an ok one, though kind of canned music. Fallout 1 and 2 had some of the best intros too (love the "Deutschland feel" and the executed Canadian prisoner scene); Fallout 2 has like a cheery "Leaving the vault scene" ending with a family opening the vault to find a Enclave minigun greeting (Their tax dollars at work!).

While I liked the tune, of course, I disliked the intro movie of Red Alert. It was too... um, boring. Just a screen of one unit moving across an entire type of terrain. I know it's unfair to judge it because of inferior technology at the time, but still, wow.
