Should Sims 4 have an opening video intro?

No, no and no. I mean sure it will be cool the first time but eventually your all going to start pushing the escape button to skip it and be looking for options to turn it off.

Gosh I miss The Sims Medieval.

Any game with into movies instantly getting modded to remove them. Even worse when it cannot be skipped. Even that two-second Maxis screen is gone in my game.

I watched them like maybe twice and then always got annoyed that I had to skip them every time I booted up the game.
As mentioned above, the Sims Medieval one is an exception to that rule, but since the Pirates and Nobles EP has a gameplay video that overrides the original intro, I've always skipped it.

This would be interesting for 2 or 3 times and then it would just get boring. Besides loading the game takes long enough already, no need to make it take longer.

Onyl if you have the possibility to skip.
It always pissed me off in TS2.

Absolutely not! Used to bug me something rotten having to press a key to skip it.

The old intro videos were good at getting me jazzed up for the game, but as others have said, the novelty wears off. There was a point where I started skipping it entirely because I wanted to get to the game faster. One of the things Sims 4 does well is keep people involved in communities/forums/etc and we get lots of videos for trailers and events, so even though it's not the same, I don't feel like that's missing.

We already have loading screens, why waste more time?

I like going right into my game - so not having to wait for that is fine by me.
