I feel that I strongly disagree that a good intro needs to sell you the story at all.

I think the point of a good intro, particularly pre-title screen anyway, is to sell you the tone and aesthetic. That said...none of mine have dropped yet so maybe we still agree on the ones I posted anyway!

My feeling is without any sense of the story, what reason is there to care about the characters or whats going on? This doesnt have to mean a full description of the plot, but at least some idea what motivates a character or what their world is like.

This is less of an issue if theres a unique and interesting tone, but for some of the recent intros, theres nothing about the tone to set them apart from many others.
