Most people that suggest the story isn't great are those who are looking for a strong plot. Something that compels the mc through the events.
Most stories here have an obvious aim for their mcs.
The mc in this game has no specific aim.
Like what is he actually trying to achieve?
- He's not trying to save the beautiful princess from the evil queen (well he did do that once).
- He's not trying to use the Book of the Dead to get himself back to his own time.
- He's not dealing with insomnia and an alter ego intent on blowing up to blow up the world's main bank servers in order to wipe out all debt.
- He's not teaming up with his brother to get his band back together to raise enough money to save the orphanage he grew up in.
- He's not trying to stop the Nazi's from obtaining God's covenant to the world and tapping into its untold powers.
- Depending on how you play the game, he's not even trying very hard to graduate from college.
He's just floating from day to day, occasionally fucking different girls (sometimes a bit more than occasionally

), and helping out his friends when he can.
The mc doesn't even have any pressing issues of his own to deal with. I mean, he'd like to find out more about his mom, but he's not really putting any emphasis on seriously getting through her diary. Then there was that one time when he didn't have any clothes...
So all-in-all, I can agree with anyone that says it's not a "great" story, if by "great" they mean a huge sweeping plot of "Ben Hur" proportions (not the remake, I heard that was shit).
But that doesn't mean the story isn't highly entertaining.
Just like
Rimmer said in his opening line, "
Depends what you are looking for..."
