Most boring opening movie in a game.

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.

But the intro also contained the going back in time to kill Hitler! And what I thought was cool music to make up for the dull vehicle shots.
 
Yes... the music does greatly make up for the lame parts of the video. It's like Westwood had the song made with that in mind. ;)
 
I don't know if it count's, but the introduction in Far Cry 2 is terrible. You're riding in the back of a cab listening to a boring story and nothing interesting happens. It's also unskippable, which I loathe.
 
The worst opening for me is Endwar. Very awesome game, but the opening has ABSULOTLY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME! At least it's short and easy to skip. I also have a gripe of being forced to do the "Road to War" or whatever it's called. It explains the plot, but by the time you do the first Russian Mission (Easiest. Mission. Ever. By the the way. All you have to do is move your starting units comprising entirely of Infantry, put them into cover, and wait for 20:00 Minutes while wave after wave of transports get blown up by your Infantry). I just want to get into the real WWIII simulation, what the game was sold for!

I also don't really like Rome: Total War's intro, either, but probably has to do with not being able to skip it than anything else.

My favorite Intro is Metriod 1. It's only 5 Seconds long, but it shows your going to kick some major ***.
 
RTW intro is skippable. :confused:

Sometimes I watch it though cause it's a pretty good intro movie :)
 
cod always has good intros!
 
wowowowowowoowowowowoowowowowowowoowowowowowo........... Lois this isn't my batman glass.

And Mass Effect was pretty awesome.

But Fallout new Vegas is going to be LEGENDARY
 
Age of Mythology wasn't too bad.

Though the C&C Red Alert opening videos are always entertaining for me. I love that song Hell March, so much so that I generally have that on a loop while playing the game.
 
Vista sucks...

"Mass Effect has stopped working" before it even started. Well that was a waste of time and money.
 
I felt none of the civ 4 intros have been good under any expansion. And I really hate saying that on this site.
