Crafting a good opening sequence, however, is hard. If story is to be a primary focus, then clearly you want to make sure the tone is set and groundwork laid quickly. Perhaps, then, use the opening to get all that nasty back-story and set-up out of the way. Of course, that's how we often end up with dull, expository-heavy cinematics.
