10 Incredible Video Game Intros (That Made You Stop Playing The Second Time Around)

Every veteran World of Warcraft player remembers the moment when they first booted the game and an intro cutscene showing their starting location would play. Fantastical visuals paired with atmospheric narration made everyone excited to delve into Azeroth, exploring every nook and cranny of their hometown and savoring every little detail on their adventure.

This feeling is unlike anything else you can experience in WoW, and even consecutive times you start over are tedious grindfests.

After the magic of stepping into a brand new world disappears, the starting locations in Warcraft show their true colors. You realize that all of the quests are the same repetitive tasks, which, unlike the similarly grindy parts on higher levels, can't be accomplished with the help of mounts, powerful skills, or even the more basic amenities like fast travel.

Until you get to level 20, the game can be boiled down to a lot of walking and subpar fighting. What’s worse is that you don’t even get excited when you unlock something like you do the first time around.

Instead, you just begrudgingly thank the game for becoming slightly less annoying.
