The ability to rewatch the opening movie

You don't make such a thing and then only let us watch it once, COME ON!!!!

 

Indeed, but no worries! You can sort of reactivate the SP opening cut scene thru the Prefs.ini file (in this case, the play_cutscene line).
You'll have to change the option back every time you watch the cut scene once after you reactivate it, though.

 

I think the intro cutscene should play every time after the developer/publisher splashes, and just be skippable with a click (the same way you can skip aforementioned splash screens).

 

I can get behind that.

 

This would be great but some people might get tired of having to skip the intro every time they wanna play, I know it can be skipped completely in steam commands but it's a thought.

What if once you watched it the first time it became accessible in the Scores and Unlockable section, then you can go there whenever you want and watch it.

 

That's why I suggested it go after the splashes. Most people will click twice to skip the splashes, anyway, what's one extra click gonna hurt? If someone honestly complains that they have to press a button one more time to skip something when they already had to click twice to skip two other things, I'm just going to stare in horror that there is a such thing as a more entitled gamer than the ones whining about weapon nerfs on the Terraria forums. :S

 

If it's always playing every time you start it will lose it's novelty fast. At least with my method you can always watch it when you feel reminiscent.

 

You say that like I haven't said multiple times that you could just click to skip it. There are loads of games that play opening cutscenes before the menu screen that you can skip through. Why is the thought of pressing one button so unreasonable that you have to keep insisting it's a bad idea? It feels like such a petty complaint.

I guess there will always be people unhappy with any given solution to a completely aesthetic issue, though. It goes between the idea of having it always play but easily skippable, or hiding it away in a menu and having to find it every time you want to watch it. Either way, someone is going to complain that they're being forced to actually click around a little to get their way...

I just know that I've never been bothered by clicking through the Binding of Isaac opening, or the Dungeon Defenders one, the Jamestown one (Hell, I watch the Jamestown one most of the time because the music is just that great), or Runner 2, or Left 4 Dead/L4D2... those are just the ones off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more.

 

I actually really like both Daimera and Finsol's solutions. Now, if I had to choose one, it would probably be every time you start the game. Then they can just remove the cutscene when starting single player for the first time.

I would also not mind being able to see the credits again without having to beat him again. :)

 

Wow you're taking this intro stuff way too seriously lol. Who is complaining here other than you? I never said you had a bad idea I even said it was great, I just gave my spin on how the intro should be accessible, stop being so defensive. Believe it or not your way isn't the only way.

Hiding it doesn't exactly go with making it accessible in unlockables? I don't see how it would be a chore to go there and click watch intro vs. clicking to skip it every time you start the game. Take a chill pill.

 

I think I'd prefer Finsol's idea. Having the cutscene replay each time is unnecessary and kind of bothersome. I would rather have a place to watch it everytime I personally feel the need to see it. Clicking it to skip it rarely helps, it just feels like an extra bother.
