Do you like video games with openings
Ok here is some random intros just for nostalgia sake.
Star Wars Episode 1 : Jedi Power Battles (PS1)
TMNT 4 : Turtles in Time (SNES)
Star Wars episode 1 Racer (N64)
As for my fav, it would be either Tales from the Borderlands or Final Fantasy XIV

Battleblock Theater has wonderful cutscenes and the opening is no exception.
EDIT: Also, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Bioshock yet.

it's not just the cinematic but the music that's usually awesome in these intros ❤️️
some intros start after the game prologue, but it's the same thing
deus ex
dx: human revolution
dx: mankind divided
supreme commander
since everyone posted some fallout games, here's another 😁
fallout tactics
and an (interactive?) intro 🌈
castlevania: symphony of the night

Not exactly, the openings are more like the summery of a book. Intros might refer to something different, but openings in anime and games (like the one listed above) spoil half of the stuff while not actually being part of the book itself. Keep in mind this opening tells us the protagonists you'll be playing as, of which we're only supposed to know one member (Velvet), the setting of the first 2 hours of the game, a few plot points and the entire main antagonist cast, and even who might have beef with who, and a major event. They aren't skipping 10 pages, they're skipping a link that explains half the book hidden on the 12th page.

Im not so sure about that.
I watched your link, well, with one eye :P but it didnt tell me anything like that. Just random dudes and dudettes jumping around on my screen. You know all of that cause you already played the game but for new players its nothing like that, just some flashy images with music to build up the hype.

Except when I watched it, I didn't even know anyone in the cast. However, it told me of an event that'll happen in the future
(Spoiler)
(The fact that one of the party members would either be hostile to the MC or betray the MC)
and all the main enemies, of which at that point, you didn't know any. I had no knowledge of these events beforehand, but after watching it I had suspicions and new knowledge, so some of the possible twists or reveals were completely lost on me.
Oh, also the ship. That wasn't shown. Also, did I mention this opening played before you made a game, at the start up? It's like a trailer, while the first 10 pages of a book are just that: the first 10 pages. Most stories don't use the first 10 pages to foretell what'll happen in the next 200 pages

Probably this - World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, cinematic in Blizzard games are always great.

I could also add Dune 1 intro for example..

Onimusha 3 is one of my favorite. It's a super long cinematic of battle and for a game of 2004 it was (and still is) amazing, enjoy!

Fallout series has good intros, they are great for grabbing you and bringing you in, also Ron Perlman is amazing.
I've always felt like Mass Effect and Bioware games in general have great playable intros.

Vandal Hearts.

Just a simple little song that plays at the very beginning, it only lasts for several seconds, but I still remember it clearly after all these years. Vandal Hearts was one of my favorite games of PS1 era, each time I started this game I listened to this little song and I knew that I'm about to have a damn great time. You can say this little tune is a symbol of my gaming childhood. It actually brings tears to my eyes just listening to it now.
