Blake Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 One of the biggest reason I play a game is for the story. For the most part, I won't bother with a game if I think it's story is kind of week (exception is TLoZ. Damnit Link I love you). So what are some of the best stories in video games? Here are some of mineAssassin's Creed: Probably my favorite. It goes a lot deeper in history and attempts to explain how every religion in the world is both correct and incorrect. It also creates stories about how big historical figures, such as Ghandi and FDR, all did what they did with the help of a Piece of Eden. Very interesting if you enjoy digging through the game to figure it all outHalf Life: Ever since I bought The Orange Box, I really got into this game. I actually enjoyed figuring out what happenes next more than playing it. Here's hoping Valve makes the 3rd episode soooooooon.Mass Effect: Really love I can transfer characters from game to game, so my decisions impact the story from one game to the next. Really pumped for the 3rd installment, especially since they plan to implement that idea even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 The OLD Final Fantasy games had good stories. 7 is obviously legendary. I loved 10 as a kid, but looking back it was probably just because I was younger.Assassins Creed is definitely up there as far as scope is concerned.I'll come up with way more I'm sure, but I have to think on it.

Blake Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 "Blexun: Runescape's most honorable hero. He has slayed Elvarg, stopped the madman Nomad, ended Lucien's path to god hood, connected Zaros back to Gelinor, and most importantly, helped this guy bake a cake once" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dragon Age Origins has a pretty good story, as does the Uncharted series. The best stories, however, are Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Those games have amazing stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I never knew what the fuck was going on during Shadow of the Colossus. I just questioned why I was trying to kill these magnificent giants. Yes, that's precisely why many said it was a masterpiece, but there's a fine line between being intentionally vague and just being a lazy developer. There's definitely a gray area to be exploited.

Jake Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can respect that. I still think it's something every gamer should expierience, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Shadow of the Colossus was pretty amazing, but not story wise. Just the scale of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I guess that when I said "story," you misunderstood. Somehing about it, maybe the feeling you get when fighting colossus, and I just put that under story, for some reason. Ico's story is pretty good though. It's made by the same company. Be warned, it hasn't aged as well as SotC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 One of the games I really liked the story of was Super Mario 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I totallt agree, Assassins Creed had a great story line. It was really awesome seeing the piece of Eden in places of which you knew. Since I'm a history major I was like if only it were true.... xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dy3nasty666 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 My favourite storyline is probably Zelda" twillight princess or occarina of time. But of course you cant forget good ol mario.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I mean I can kind of understand Zelda story line wise, but Mario? That is probably one of the most popular games that lack any kind of story line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I definately think the Assassins Creeds have great storylines; they are one of my favourite games.But I really enjoyed the Infamous storylines. Not only did I think they were good stories but I also liked the choices. (More in Infamous 2 though.)Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 My two favorite games (Sonic Adventure 2 and Pikmin 2) both had good stories, but the gameplay blew it all out of the water. As far as story goes, I love Halo. It's just...Master Chief is so badass, and the story is like something you'd find in an actual book or movie. Nothing irks me more when developers think they can get away with a shoddy story just because it's a game. SA2 and P2 were the exceptions, due to excellent...everything else. I've beaten Pikmin 2 at least ten times and it's still not boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Look up the flash game "One Chance". It's a choice based game that determines if you survive the apolcolypse you caused. And, yeah, you can't restart, even if you close out. You really do have one chance. Unless you delete your cookies, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just switch your browser to private browsing and you can play however many times you want. Kind of ruins the point, but I enjoyed picking it apart like that.A similar, but less serious game is You Only Live Once. Instead of just ending though, you can press continue to get the aftermath of your decisions, which is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
