I was just about to write something about how mystery is the WORST way to get people into your story, and it's something Bungie tries a lot. Interesting that's the first piece of advice. Coming soon.

The big thing you have to remember, and why the writer is so confused that people don't finish games but usually always finish films, is that the point of playing the game is to be inside the world doing things. As such, a game story exists only to make this immersion more powerful and meaningful.

When seen in this context, not finishing a game's story does not seem strange at all.
