But it's nice to see they're concentrating on more important stuff :)


I agree, it's a bit weird.

But I disagree on your general statement on Paradox intros. HoI and Victoria had quite boring ones as well, that's true. But I loved the EU1 intro, which was very nice and inspiring. And the EU2 intro was very good too.

I rate them:

1. EU1
2. EU2
3. Victoria
4. HoI
5. CK

But as long as the game is as good as it seems to be, they can have a limping green frog for an intro if they wish. :D

I've got to disagree with you there. I liked the old intros, EU2 and Victoria in particular...half of the HOI one was good, the other half less so.

Well the HoI-intro was ok. The one for EU2 was so-so, too explanatory for my taste. Haven't seen the Vicky-intro.

For some good intros watch the ones for Fallout 1/2.

A short comment on the Fallout stuff before I return to the topic at hand, if I may: The Fallout intros are among the best ever made, so I definitely agree with you there.

But that doesn't change the fact that I thin the EU2 intro was really well done. It got the point across well to those less familiar with the period, while still getting me into the appropriate mood.

The Victoria intro is of another style, more disjointed and fragmented, but IMHO it suits the period perfectly.

Note: I have heard that the Vicky intro might be a total rippoff of the Imperialism games, but since I never played them, I can't comment on that.
