So which video game intros are the greatest of all time? Before I answer this politically explosive question, my definition of “intro” must be clear. I am defining a video game intro as any cinematic segment before or after the title screen that sets up a narrative and/or establishes a tone or theme. Also, the title screen itself may be an important part of an intro, as I will explain in some of my choices. Finally, no gameplay is allowed in my definition of intro. If the gamer, as opposed to the director, controls the direction of the segment, the effect is interactional, not cinematic. It’s the simple difference between viewing and playing.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

I knew he wouldn't make this list, but I do have a soft spot for Cheeseburger from FarCry 5.
Take a step back through time and discover the history of the legendary Ninja Gaiden series!
Love the NES trilogy! Great gameplay, design, story, cinematics, characters, music! Total package.
The original NES game is still.one of the hardest games I've almost beaten in my life I believe I was on the second final boss using original hardware and carts no save states but I could never finish it
Man, I finally braved trying Master Ninja in Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and… man, I suck, lol. I really want to try for the platinum because I love the game so much, but yeesh…
I remember Ninja Gaiden Black and how awesome the hype and support was around for that. The changes from the base game and the world rankings we could check out in the menus. Played through the OG game once and Black at least twice.
Never played the original 2D games but I'm excited to go through 2 Black soon.
I was there as a young boy playing the first Ninja Gaiden in The arcade. It was awesome for the time! I’ve played every one skins and on every one of those systems. And here I am, as a 50 year old man giddy with joy playing through the most recent release, with more on the way! Heck yeah it’s a great series!
Love the throwback to Ninja Gaiden. It's crazy at one time that was mind blowing, lol.
damn spammers!(talking to nichol05),but anyway,mab I really need to play the original fallout,love 3 and new vegas.
