Before my conception hahahaha. By the time that game came out I had already logged dozens upon dozens of hours on about half a dozen different game consoles (If you use some logic now you would know I was around before the early 90's as well). Wake up, if you actually believe game story's are any good you have some low standards, its not like Martin Scorsese is writing the stories for these games. The majority of development and testing goes into the game play. Like I said before its a video game its meant to be played, if you need a good thriller go rent a movie.
