Flip said:There is more to a story than just the inciting incident. Are you forgetting that when you're playing through the game, the story builds? From the interview with one of the writers for Red Steel, I got the impression that he built the story REALLY well, and it's going to be pretty in depth.
I hope there IS more to the story. I was giving the premise of the story because that is all anyone knows at this point. I'm sure that the story builds, to a degree. But to what degree? Personally, I feel that the premise is a little weak, but that's ok. I'm less interested in the story than the other aspects of the game.
I mean realistically speaking, if your girlfriend is kidnapped and taken to another country (silly in and of itself) your first reaction is not going to be to fly over there with a gun and sword and kill everyone.
