The first AC had a relatively simple plot (at least the one directly relating to Altair). The second was a bit more confusing but still understandable (again, just the plot related to Ezio). I dare you to understand the overarching plot though.
Too Human's plot seems like it could be a bit confusing if you don't know Norse mythology.

I'm fairly certain most people understand the plot of the Metal Gear Solid series a lot better than they think, especially MGS2; there is just an overpowering reflex, when you do understand, to think, "That can't be it. That's absolutely retarded." And then try to formulate a more sensible, albeit incorrect conclusion that ends up meshing poorly with the facts.
Thirteen years after the fact, people still squabble over what exactly happened in Final Fantasy VII, a situation not helped by the constant additions to the expanded universe tending to rewrite or complicate the existing material rather than clarify it.
One of the biggest draws of the (earlier) Silent Hill franchise was its vague narrative. Sure, you had a general sense of what was going on, but even after everything that was going to be explained finally was, the remaining filler space, always quite a large one, is left up to the imagination of the players. On the one hand, the feeling of never being completely clued in adds greatly to the atmosphere and the feeling of dealing with something truly impossible to completely understand.
On the other hand, even the few facts the games give you are often rewritten or at least stretched by subsequent entries, creating the feeling not that the setting is a mysterious place of vast possibility, but that the series is inconsistently managed by a cabal of developers who either often disagree or just don't know what they're doing. Which is sadly true. What's Pyramid Head's nature? What happened to James? Is Cheryl's hair naturally black or brown? Does the Order worship a sun goddess, or an abstract but powerful deity? The answer is whatever the current developer feels like!
Though they do all agree that Harry Mason can just go fuck himself, apparently.

Er, now i've just played AC1 because my computer is too shit for AC2, but i feel the overall plot is kind of easy to understand.mornal said:
Templars aspire to world domination, wants to use the great power of illusion like they're all David Blaine to get everyone to conform into their new world order, assassin's are keeping them at bay, or trying valiantly.
Subject 16 had a mayan predecessor and went insane after an identity conflict, killed himself and painted the lab with chaos theory stuff and fractals, and for some reason put an encrypted message near the door.
Then again, where the fuck the Pieces of Eden came from is anyone's guess.
Recently, COD MW2. I don't know if it was confusion as much as feeling disjointed because the game was hopping all over hell like it was created by a 14 year old with ADD who was free-basing pixie sticks in between shots of Jolt cola and Redbull slurpees. To be fair, I did start (and complete) the campaign pretty late at night. Maybe, I'll run it through again and see if I catch something more out of it.
