[wages of sin]

@Blasterpez,

Lol, I have to admit, that was funny. I understand your point and agreed if your not particularly paying attention and are just playing the game then your right.

For me from the moment CE started, I was glued to my t.v. When Capt. Keyes gives you the pistol and tells you to get Cortana off of the ship, I was the MC, the tention of the situation thus far really made you feal that your mission was important but more importantly, I felt like I was the chief and in all honesty, regardless of what game or genre, don't you want to feel that you are your character?

I don't know how the story didn't make sense to you, it was explained well and the rest was either obvious or where left on purpose to entice you into buying the next game. I had no problems following the story at all, in fact it's the story that kept me going (besides the awesome gameplay) and ended up asking more questions, but in a good way. Not becuase it was badly written/presented but becuase it was so well written/presented that I was hungry for new information.
