Name a game that has a really boring intro
- Thread starter Baphomet
- Start date
Incorrect. The payoff is at the end of KH2.
The intro to KH2 is amazing. It starts off slow but builds to an amazing moment and it all pays off in the end.
358/2 days has to be played after Kingdom Hearts 2.
The intro is just a setup for Roxas' backstory and makes you understand all nobodies are (almost) real people with real feelings and emotions.
I appreciate RE7 a lot more the older this game gets. Texas Chainsaw and Evil Dead are some of my favourite horror movies and RE7 is highly inspired by these. Loved the dlc's too. The whole project is big experiment and breath of fresh air after RE6.
But yeah, replayability is borked. When you first meet Mia, you have to slow walk for 6 minutes with her character blocking your way lol. This is one of the things i dislike in modern video games.
Skyward Sword is especially maddening because Aonuma flat out told us that they had learned their lesson from the long TP introduction. And then they just did it again. Some truly baffling design choices in this game.
PC/XONE/PS4/Switch versions have a cutscene skip option, so you may want to reconsider.
Have you played 2? One of the levels in 2 basically has a
remix of the first game's intro but you go after and kill the chainsaw guy head on iirc. Pretty hilarious and cathartic
It's amazing how Kotor 1 had a slow and laborious intro and Kotor 2 somehow managed to be magnitudes worse.
4 I agree completely
5 I disagree with. It has a pretty fast start for a JRPG of its length.
But that's the best part of the game. The second intro however..
This is what I came to say. Love the game, the opening sucks.
This is true, but at least it nails the spectacle. If you're going to do a slow walking segment, there should at least be some cool shit going on.

Skyward Sword. I'm a huge Zelda fan and even I almost turned the game off before the opening section. To be honest though, the game never truly let's go of your hand the whole way through.
Twilight Princess opening hour or so was tedious, from what I remember.

RDR 2's opening is terrible, so badly paced. There are so many ways they could have got players up to speed with the mechanics, characters and story without dragging it out the way they did.
Compare it to GTA V where you have a short section introducing Michael and Trevor before hitting Los Santos and the game starting proper.

I foresee many people complaining about 7's slow start once its released over here. The first chapter is pretty long, and pretty much all cutscenes with a couple of tutorials. I'm sure that'll rub people up the wrong way but it really is required what with it having to set up several brand new key characters. 6 wasn't much quicker to start mind you, I feel like that had a good 30 minute intro before you did anything other than fighting one short boss fight.
You didnt miss anything. The whole game is pretty boring. Sadly.
Yakuza 3's pacing overall is probably the second worst in the series for me after 5 but they have some of the best story moments which is weird. Yakuza 2 has possibly the best pacing in the series but I feel like the game doesn't really do much overall.
The first chapter of The Evil Within is an excellent piece of linear survival horror on the first play through, but the forced slow walk and lack of any offensive option (unless you count cheesing the enemy AI for 20 minutes to eventually stab your pursuer to death) is not good for multiple play throughs and should probably have been skippable for Nightmare and Akumu difficulties.
They did learn! It took just another game before they made up for TP's and SS's introductions with BotW.
I like it. It starts the game slow and builds up a lot of the world and politics. But I understand why some people do not like it.
I only played through Star Wars KOTOR II once, I loved that game (more than the first) but I remember the first level being veeeeery long and boring. You spend like two hours running in a ship wearing your underwear and fighting with a blade. Star Wars! That's how I remember it anyway.
I'm pretty sure most people didn't like that. I had no problem with it but definitely remember a lot of complaints when it released
Titanfall 2. That boring training segment. But then it swiftly turns in to one of the best single player campaigns of the generation.
Uncharted 4. The first ~8 chapters are boring as hell. But then it becomes good when you reach Scotland. Until the next Nate kid part in the house anyway.

I almost quit after the first 15/20 minutes of Silent Hill 2 and planned on returning the game to the store.
After that it became one of my all time favourites. So glad I chewed through that intro.

Just checking with the people saying Okami, what's the turning point on the "intro"? Is it
?
