Necrobump because this place is too stagnant and I just remembered an unpopular opinion I have.
The story of Devres doesn't interest me. The pacing is bad by dumping exposition every few levels/moments rather than letting the player find out gradually, and there's not much reason to care for anyone since everyone feels so anonymous and impersonal, including you. And I will not get over that you are supposedly meant to be a random soldier, yet you're still Jazz/Spaz/Lori. Pretending limitations aren't there is the easiest way to kill immersion for me. Slightly off-topic, but it relates to how much I dislike alternate skins/models with no voice modification.
In fact, because I found the storyline boring (and most found it amazing), I thought I didn't care for story in games at all. Until I realised I prefer storylines based on character interaction and getting in touch with the environment.
Regardless, it still holds up as one of the best SP packs today for its sheer innovation and challenge.
