I really like watching the cinematics/cutscenes from games that I played- I somehow find them to be a good substitute for actually playing the game again. Don't ask how; it's just the way the Nekro works.
When I was five years old, I remember that watching a cinematic would actually make me want to play the game. An excellent example would be Warcraft 3- Reign of Chaos. I hardly found the gameplay interesting; at least not like the story and its protagonists. The orc ending movie remains truly one of the most incredible scene I've watched in a game- the quality itself (lip syncing for the win!) along with its meaning for the storyline.
Anyway, enough of Warcraft.
Now that I am ten years old and finally a responsible beer-buying, billard-playing, panties-stealing adult, I still get aroused by cool-looking cinematics. Can't help it I guess, though I will check gameplay to see if I can play the game without too much inconvenience.
I honestly found diablo's (2) cinematics just about alright. Diablo transforming from wanderer to demonic form was pretty cool and Baal's speech followed by the barbarian-explosion skill was also very entertaining. Nothing mind-blowing however, least ways not for me.
Hmm...what was the purpose of this thread already...? Oh ya, I want to know what your favorite cinematics/cutscenes are- doesn't have to be CGI.
Lately I've been browsing this site(Blur studio) and came across some sweet beating material.
I'll list a couple of my favorites to launch the thread- there are loads really but can't list them all in one post.
Any discussion about game cinematics has to mention this one, because it is so ridiculously good. Tyrael's appearance, Baal tricking Marius, Tyrael commanding Marius to the east... Evento this day I still get goosebumps from watching it. This cinematic right here forever cemented Tyrael as a bad ass character to me.
(Also that one tube heading into the brain of that giant insect tank seemed like a pretty big design flaw :P)
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
This is one of the "newer" ones that I really liked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6IAoPAjzpw. It's the SWtOR one with all the Sith's. His whole speech is awesome. When he kills the first 3 guards then throws his saber to kill the others. Then when the saber swings back and he holstered it, it was so flood. When you see all the Jedi jump down and surround him you think "damn he's fCuked". Then at 1:48 your like "HELL YEA". If you don't get goosebumps at that part you have issues.
Hey, your right about that man. i was going to post some videos of it here but i cant be bothered searchin them now.
Those were some of my best favorites long time ago. Mainly i played thro them to see what happens next in the story. I think it does have a really good story, but the gameplay isnt the greatest buts its ok. Ive told my old buds before about Legacy of Kain not having anymore new sequels. And i remember tellin some ol buds that whenever i win the big lottery i'd buy out the company an make those dirty c*cksuckers make a new legacy of kain game! And i dont care if the company fails an goes under as long as the next legacy of kain game is out there.
ok heres some videos i found:
From the first game blood omen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_11r1yE3FI
bit long but its good. this is a vampire game. but dont worry its not that gay kind like twilight this is way much more better.
2nd game soul reaver intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFiLNc46jAM
I read the interview with the legacy of kain guys before about the guy raziel burning there
and she said the reason he doesnt have a girfriend is cuz of his weiner was burnt off there. along with his jaw.
Well, just those 2 videos isnt enough. i'd recommend play thro all of those games an seeing the whole story yourself.
Theres these games for it Blood Omen, Soulreaver, Soulreaver2, bloodomen2, defiance.
I think that this series would be great as an anime, not the gay kind of anime mind you with all the fruity characters but the more grim looking stuff.

Onimusha 3 opening (fuging amazing!)

Also the 2010 E3 SWtOR one was really good to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0RuR3FREFw
Can't really say anything about this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvp3e1xqcnw&feature=related. Sephiroth is probably the most epic villain in anything that has ever been created.
Here's one of them.
Siaynoq's Playthroughs
You're kidding right?
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
