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

A good video game intro captures your attention and hypes you all the way to the end.

However, in a dark irony, it's the intro that might overstay its welcome...

Sometimes an opening that completely blows your mind the first time you play can become a tedious chore on consecutive playthroughs. It drags on and on, and since there's no way to skip them and mystery driving you is gone, you end up hating what you initially loved.

It's bizarre how repetitiveness can ruin even the most fun and captivating moments. The saddest part is that they probably wouldn't annoy people so much if the developers just bothered to include some way of skipping them.

Instead, you're forced to relive the same exact intro, but with all the twists and fun parts that made you look in awe already known, and stripped of all their excitement.

Nothing hurts more than having to abandon your favorite game because the intro is just way too long to get through. The following titles definitely didn't realize this, which is why, despite capturing people's attention the first time around, barely anyone can sit through their openings on consecutive playthroughs.

Fallout 3 is the only title in the franchise that allows you to get a truly in-depth and intimate look into your character’s life, letting you play from the very moment they're born, all the way into adulthood.

The intro is unlike any other Fallout, and the amount of interactivity and options you get while playing out your character’s childhood can keep you entertained throughout.

That said, as soon as you start another playthrough, it turns out that watching your character grow up before your eyes is a really lengthy process.

After you finish this lengthy sequence once, having to go through it every time you make a new character feels really tedious. You realize each section is either a tutorial or a way for the game to determine your character’s stats, which not only takes away from the immersion, but also makes completing said tasks less exciting.

Besides, you can only attend so many virtual kids' birthdays before they make you just want to do something else.
