Really? I don't play many games but it seems most new games are so story based I get bored. 15 to 30 minute intros before you even start doing anything.
Modern video games, like modern movies, usually have off-the-shelf plot elements that are plugged into the story to make a poor excuse for a game. A lot of them try to ham it up to cover up the fact the plots are tired and overdone, hence the 15-30 minute intros.
Take heart. There are still a few good new games out there.
