Resistance 2's got a great story to tell -- but they're hidden

Resistance 2 went the way of in-game storytelling, shedding itself of the narrated cut-scenes format. But while not everyone is sold on this idea, even criticizing Insomniac Games for it, Patrick Klepek of MTV Multiplayer finds himself defending this new format, saying that there is in fact a lot of story - in fact they are the best stories - being told in Resistance 2.

Small problem, though. They're hidden.

According to him, a lot of things don't really make sense if you were to follow a logical train of thought. He says, "You wouldn't even really know why you're fighting the game's boss..." that is, "...unless you picked up some optional intel along the way."

Now who would have thought an simple intel would hold the answers to the deepest, darkest secrets of Resistance 2? Apparently, we didn't. At least not enough. And that's where the problem lies. The stories are hidden in these very discreet intels, that it's more likely for us to miss them than find them.

He furthers,

The Resistance 2 campaign is notoriously linear, so there's little reason for you to search the environment. But if you don't you'll never find the intel. The motivation to you to search for the intel in Resistance 2 is to unlock trophies. Unfortunately, if you want to know the coolest bits of [its] story, you also need to spend time finding them. The linear design doesn't serve that well.

Klepek's post contains some spoilers, so we'll leave those for there. However, if you are curious enough as to where these intels can be found or what are those missing story puzzle pieces he's talking about, then feel free to head over to his post by clicking on the source link below.
