A large problem with games in general is the sloppy way in which the story is presented. It's often a challenge to simply track the progression of the narrative. At the worst moments, characters are introduced for the first time and there are numerous moments where you sit back and mutter: “Who?” It's often necessary to re-play the entire game before you've gotten a handle on the plot. Admittedly, this is a problem in cinema too, but at least you're simply watching in this instance and can pay full attention to the plot, instead of being required to indulge in ill-conceived gameplay portions too.
