Just wanted to correct my previous report with a minor point.

The videos at the beginning of the game, before the main menu, won't play. Just close the little video player popups that appear, and the game proceeds as normal.

You can watch the videos on YouTube, they don't spoil anything, just provide a little backstory you could otherwise read elsewhere.

Here's a link to someone doing a Let's Play. The videos that you're missing are right at the start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAjT7UTZnLE&list=PLCeTWO4k4c82Er-4Zzi99FTlhJ3hrssHu
