    Brutal Legend. Which – by the way – it is the only good part of the game ^^’



  2. TempaH_StormZz on March 19, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    Detroit Become Human??



  3. McLovinPuncake on March 19, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    If you’ve played "Detroit Become Human", that has the best introduction by far in my opinion.



  4. St. Wakka de Paul on March 19, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    you get a like just for the richard dawkins joke



  5. AlexTheGreatMC on March 19, 2021 at 11:51 pm

    Any game that can make me cry within the first hour is the best. I’m looking at you The Last of Us!



  6. Erica J on March 19, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Dragon’s Dogma and it’s beginning were awesome. A dragon attacks your town and literally eats your still beating heart right out of your chest? Epic.



  7. RickeGnool on March 19, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    No Mass Effect 2?



  8. Aetherian on March 19, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    DooM 2016



  9. John Batman on March 19, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    Did not really like The Last of Us opening, it was too obvious how they try to push it and force emotions to the player no matter what, it just did not work for me.



  10. Todd Hanson on March 20, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Ironically, the intro for Dark Souls and Bioshock Infinite bored me so much, I didn’t even finish the intro.



  11. P3ckehBoysETC on March 20, 2021 at 12:04 am

    Where’s Ori and the Blind Forest?



  12. TheRisingRoad on March 20, 2021 at 12:05 am

    You include MG Rising but not for MGS V



  13. Brianstorm on March 20, 2021 at 12:06 am

    Bioshock Infinite’s opening gave me literal chills but TLOU has the best opening of any video game ever.



  14. aiman sirkhot on March 20, 2021 at 12:07 am

    How is god of war not here ??



  15. Paul Vergouwe on March 20, 2021 at 12:07 am

    No one commenting about Ori and the Blind forest?
    Internet disapppoints.



  16. PastelNoir on March 20, 2021 at 12:08 am

    Thank God this wasn’t a top 9 list. Otherwise I would be murdering dozens for putting The Last Of Us at 6. But bioshock infinite was good and surprising



  17. Vuk Antić on March 20, 2021 at 12:08 am

    And the far cry series?



  18. Kacper Iwo Matuszewski on March 20, 2021 at 12:13 am

    Highest praise for you for the Kratos – Richard Dawkins comparison. <3



  19. Nicks Films on March 20, 2021 at 12:14 am

    I just bought as ps4 and best tlou. And it was really damn good.



  20. Nate River on March 20, 2021 at 12:15 am

    O N I M U S H A 3 is EASILY one of the top 3 off all time. The game had real legitimate actors and the opening was as solid as it gets



  21. Jonah Davey on March 20, 2021 at 12:15 am

    Before i even watched this i knew the last of us and uncharted would be on it. 2 of the best openings of games ever in my opinion



  22. fariz fasha on March 20, 2021 at 12:15 am

    This list truly felt like a basic ass list where everything is just as to be expected without something unusual or remotely unique



  23. yay man on March 20, 2021 at 12:16 am

    Wheres doom.



  24. Victor Peterson on March 20, 2021 at 12:16 am

    God Of War 4 should be on this list



  25. TheMightyCongueror on March 20, 2021 at 12:16 am

    I would replace City with Asylum, to this day, it’s still one of my favorite video game intros, I obviously played Asylum first, so I may be a bit biased, but getting to see Arkham properly for the first time, also just walking as Batman, and hearing Joker, and getting to see Killer Croc. It’s just perfection.



  26. Anthony Sanchez on March 20, 2021 at 12:17 am

    If Bioshock came out in 2008 and not 2007 it would be number 1



  27. Zack Brangen on March 20, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Number 10 should be,

    *The Evil Within*



  28. Simone Verver on March 20, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Dragon age origins



  29. Necturiel on March 20, 2021 at 12:18 am

    Doom 2016, best game intro ever.



  30. Mikołaj Niewiadomski on March 20, 2021 at 12:19 am

    Mass Effect 3???! … Crysis 2,3 ; Watch dogs…..



  31. Evan on March 20, 2021 at 12:20 am

    Man no Doom.



  32. Perfectly Random on March 20, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Just cause 3 isn’t here?



  33. quadro beam on March 20, 2021 at 12:24 am

    Fallout new vegas?



  34. LeiFlux07 on March 20, 2021 at 12:25 am

    Travesty that The Last of Us and Nier Automata are not in the top two slots.



  35. Code Khalil on March 20, 2021 at 12:25 am

    If this was more than 10 years, then 13 for XBOX would be on here. GREAT atmosphere for that first level. Damn



  36. Tyler Remy on March 20, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Sorry, love dark souls but the beginning is bleh. It only gets good when YOU git gud.



  37. From the air _GG on March 20, 2021 at 12:26 am

    FLARES?! Yeah we dont live in 1918. I think everyone has flares



  38. Ploosh on March 20, 2021 at 12:33 am

    Forza Horizon 4 anyone?



  39. Mohamed El Marzguioui on March 20, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Mass effect 🙁



  40. Joe P on March 20, 2021 at 12:35 am

    Games that should be on this list had it included more than 9:

    1. Gears of War (1,2, and 3)
    2. Arkham Asylum
    3. Skyrim
    4.Shadow of Mordor
    5. God of War (2018)
    6. The Force Unleashed
    7: Assassin’s Creed II

    Just to name a few.



  41. colman collopy on March 20, 2021 at 12:37 am

    Cant get much better than uncharted 2



  42. Ben Harris on March 20, 2021 at 12:38 am

    Arkham knights opening is better than city. Nothing got me more excited for a game then hearing “this is how it happened. This is how the batman died”



  43. herrlogan17 on March 20, 2021 at 12:39 am

    Last of Us #1, no doubt. And also very important because of Ellie relationship.



  44. Jacob Webb on March 20, 2021 at 12:41 am

    Skyrim?



  45. Lilia Arciga on March 20, 2021 at 12:41 am

    spiderman ps4 should be here



  46. Trần Đình Khánh on March 20, 2021 at 12:41 am

    Everybody forgot The Witcher 3



  47. Red on March 20, 2021 at 12:43 am

    HALO 3



  48. Fred Flintstone on March 20, 2021 at 12:43 am

    Not a leviathan but okay. Learn your lore dude.



  49. Tom Beattie on March 20, 2021 at 12:45 am

    Far Cry 5 really gave me the chills. With "Amazing Grace" and the helicopter scene was just amazing



  50. Maa405 GAMER on March 20, 2021 at 12:46 am

    No god of war 4 no far cry 3 fam are you mad
