No real intro?

[Nals]

Saw this was feature complete, so it's time for me to start playing in my books. I understand it's on a budget, so if there is no intro/outro cutscenes that's fine. Just making sure there isn't, because the way that guy at the start was talking, it made it sound like I was missing some video of me getting hung.

Rest assured that you didn't miss any cinematic depiction of you getting hanged.

No. You were just another aetherial casualty, miraculously saved from the brink of death. It's explained a bit later in the story.

Or did you want a Victor Vran style intro? I feel the intro made that game worse.

Nah, I don't really need much cutscene wise. If this is how the game starts/ends, that's cool, I'd much rather they put their money into making a kickass game, then making cutscenes, since cutscenes are expensive!

It just felt from a story point of view that something was supposed to be there. Like Titan Quest started in a good position to not need a cutscene at all, you are just here in Greece, and ♥♥♥♥ is popping off nearby. Go help! Here's it's like oh yeah do you remember last night? You got hung from the neck until you almost died. Bummer for you. Made me restart my game, because I had to go check and make sure I didn't accidently miss a "intro cutscene tab" somewhere.

Ah I see your point.

From memory, while Titan Quest had an introduction cutscene, it wasn't related to your character at all (only to the main story), and you still appeared out of nowhere, with pretty much no idea about how you came here and why. Even less than GD in that respect.

I reckon an intro and outro cutscene ( like opening cutscene for Demon Hunter in Diablo 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1meOUzVWaWg ) wouldn't be too expensive to make, and would make the game even better. If Runic could hire Klei to make their fully-animated cutscenes ( and they are ALSO an indie studio, bear that in mind ), then I don't see an excuse for Crate not to make at least a cutscene remniscent to the one in the video I posted above. They got a lot of time to make one opening and one ending cutscene in this style until February.
