Name opening to a game that is more iconic.
Protip: you literally can't
>>339331261
You'll disagree with me no matter what but it's not hard to top.

I loved DS1 and replayed it a ton but I can think of many openings I enjoyed more.
I loved that/co/ thread
>>339331261
I don't know which DS game that's even from.
probably not best, but Bioshock's opening is pretty good.
>>339331261

>>339331826
Pretentious: the opening
>>339331261
I can.
>>339331261
I forget that deaf space was a game for months at a time.
So literally anything? I honestly didn't even remember the opening was this till you posted that pic
>>339331261
I know we all love to hate FFVII, but FVII has the best opening of all time. Of all time!
>>339331261
What does "iconic" even mean in his context?
It just means "good", doesn't it. Don't dress it up. Just say "good".
>>339331261
DS 1and even 2 to a lesser extent were decent action horror games (emphasis on action). I liked Kendra's tits. I preferred the more ambiguous story of the first game where it seemed like some cosmic force wanted you to out the marker back
In some ways the game represents the Aliens series - the first was a action suspense thriller, the second more of an action movie, and the third was dogshit
>>339331886

One of the first and best vidya intro cutscene ever produced
>>339331261
Half-Life, you underaged faggot.
>>339332190
Probably the most iconic in the thread so far along with FF7 for nostalgia reasons for being a great game obviously but Max Payne's intro segments were legit haunting and memorable.
>>339331261
Iconic? I fucking slept through that shit thinking "where are the fucking monsters already jesus christ"
In all seriousness, Half-Life probably has one of the most memorable opening sequences of all time, if only because everyone remembers having to fucking sit through it to play the game.
y'all niggas

man I miss this game, I loved playing it at LAN parties in High School.

How did they fuck up the sequels so bad?
>>339331261
Uncharted 2's opening train sequence. Everything about it was great. We get a bait and switch. First we're led to believe that he's just been shot in the abdomen then the camera moves and Nathan Drake is in a train dangling from a cliff. You spend the next half of the game working your way back to the opening. It was great.
>>339331261
yeah it was ok I guess, doesn't beat the source material tho

>iconic
don't think you know what that word means, but FF7's bombing mission is probably the most iconic opening of any game
>>339331261
Bioshock. done.
>>339331261
The time is 8:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105.
for real any answer other than "half-life's train sequence" should be immediately discarded and the poster regarded as an imbecile.
Holy kek, guys, so much hate.
I'm actually watching ds speedrun right now, otherwise there is no way that I would remember that opening.
It's good opening, tho.
>>339332902
man what an awesome game. I spent so many hours with this as a child
>>339331261
Literally any of the ten thousand other identical openings that came before that one?
Like... Half-Life, for instance?
>>339331698
My negro. Still the best jrpg I ever played. It was all downhill after the ps1 era. Ps2 had some decent jrpgs but more and more they turned into moe blobs and emo faggot min characters i cant force myself to give a shit about. My brother and me played it all summer, we high fived when fay got laid. It really stuck out. Sex was kind of taboo in rpgs back than. They always do it off screen or imply it.

you have to be seriously underage to think that opening was anywhere NEAR iconic. so for the sake of not losing all hope on neo-/v/ I'm going to pretend this was just really good bait.

>>339331261
Isn't that opening just basically a copy of Alien's?
How far are we counting "opening"?
Uninterepted cinematic before even pressing start? The auto-play video for waiting on the title screen? The clip that plays when you hit New Game?Can I say a cutscene from the end of the first level?

Alien should have ended, and never been a series. If they felt the need to make it a franchise they should not have used Ripley. Ripley from Alien would never go back out in space. Fuck Aliens.
Alien is a master class in how to make a tense thriller. Aliens may as well be a different universe all together.
I might try out that FPS Alien game. The only reason I haven't already is because I can't stand first person games.

By the way, Black Mesa intro is shit. The voice acting, the Pixar-y bullshit that is Source engine. It loses ALL the charm, grit and downright spookiness that the original possessed.

Nope, they get rid of shit because it's "too arabic sounding" (Legend of Zelda) and you're not allowed to call Afghan insurgents "the Taliban" (Medal of Honor reboot) even though it would fit the setting.
Fuckers have always been offended by trivial shit in video games, the difference is those offended shits are now actually part of the industry (either as devs or journalists) instead of being outsiders (Jack Thompson and company) allowing them to actually make changes.
They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw... but me. Can you guess?Luck.
Was I wrong?

Definition of iconic
1: of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon
2a : widely recognized and well-established <an iconic brand name>
b : widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence <an iconic writer><a region's iconic wines>
Am I missing something? Mario's are iconic. Related to an icon. Widely known and well established. They certainly aren't renowned for excellence but they do satisfy the first two definitions.

I realized, the moment I fell into the fissure, that the Book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse, of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed—I must admit, however, such conjecture is futile. Still, the question of whose hands might one day hold my Myst Book are unsettling to me. I know my apprehensions might never be allayed, and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written.

The most iconic opening is and will always be Deus Ex.
This isn't even something you can debate. It sticks with anyone that plays the game, and it was a very successful game. That's a full generation + later year stragglers that can stumble their way through reciting the whole thing.
