I always thought Halo was neat, but the ancient human bullshit and 343's "Librarian's master plan" stuff is just bad.
No, you are not understanding the full depth of Crysis's nonsense.
North Korea is bad, but now there are aliens. None of that matters, actually, the Koreans are never mentioned again and the aliens left but now they've come back and taken over New York. There is also a virus. The suit is also actually reverse-engineered alien technology from when this guy was in Antarctica and he actually orchestrated the entire first game but now he's in a vegetative state and wants the Nanosuit so he can personally save humanity from the C̶o̶v̶e̶n̶a̶n̶t̶ Ceph. Your character was also m̶o̶r̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶n̶d̶e̶d̶ dead all along and now a backup copy of that guy from the first game (no, not the main character, he died off-screen in a comic) takes over the suit. Then he takes a nap or something for 20 years, then Crysis 3 happens.
I think Starcraft squandered its lore. Starcraft 1 and Brood War had a great world and a lot of buildup, and then Starcraft II retconned pretty much all of it with as many shitty cliches and cop-outs you could possibly come up with.
The Crysis series lore was pretty much garbage from front to back. Its lore goes pretty much "Look, a cool mechanical suit! > Look, aliens! > yatta yatta yatta > You win!".
