I dont get why people find it so boring. If you press escpae you can just skip it.

I was caught off guard by the long intro too, but it grew on me eventually. Its not like you are just staring at sea and clouds, your listening to nice music too.

I can appreciate a slow burn intro... but I literally couldn't tell what, if anything, was happening for a good minute there.

It sets the tone of the game. Slow. At first you're not sure what's going on. Good art and music. Then it becomes clear what is happening, and you understand more.

Then you do it again, when the intro is over.

I wonder if this is the game building the rogue (random) level design instead of having us at a loading screen, it's the long boat scene?

i mean, you can skip it, so its not i guess. i just didn't skip the first time because i was afraid of misssing something important

It depends what you want from a game.

I love the intro. Just great. Fits the game perfectly.

I believe it's called setting the mood.

Actually I loved the intro so much, such a great mood setting piece,
the music, the feeling of grandeur, the MUSIC AGAIN, loved it so much.
Only little thing I would have liked would have been to be able to steer the ship just a little at some point.

Yeah i loved the intro, gave me chills while the music shook the walls of my house! How are you guys seeing the intro every spawn? Do you have to delete your save data to watch it again?

it teaches you that this is a slow game and you need to be patient, if you didnt learn it from the into you will learn it from rushing like a chicken into a spike trap soon after :) then you will surely learn it

its more of being "weak" in the start, later in the game and after a few runs you will have no problems with what was bothering you in the early game. that's the idea of a lot of roguelike games, you can't finish the game on your first run, but you will get stronger and stronger in each run you make don't worry about it.
