It's funny how they criticize Metal Gear Solid's story and arfter the article there's a link to "15 Best Game Stories Ever" in the same site and MGS is the first game.
Other than that, I disagree completely with the article, even though I love Portal's story, I also love a complex, even if it's uninteractive story (that's why I play a lot of JRPGs), just the way that I love reading books (and I'm not comparing them, both are different).
I have the belief that to create complex , rich, detailed stories, the ammount of influence the character can make can't be high, because if the story is too branched, it loses its focus and complexity. I'd rather have a Xenosaga-like game (zero interactivity with the story, but it features an amazing, complex, engaging story) that a Fable-like game (a lot of freedom of choices, but the story sucks). At least that's my take |
I think you mean Xenogears... because Xenosaga was epic fail next to that game. I couldn't even play that game for 3 hours before I packed it back up and sent it back to gamefly.
As for story... well that's what Bioware is for and I don't think Portal's story was worth a crap... I was running from a crazy computer... I didn't know who I was or even what was wrong until the very end and by then I didn't care... even if the cake part was memorable

No, I meant Xenosaga, maybe if you had played the 100+ hours that encompass the three games instead of just 3 you could have found that it features the most complex (and one of the best) story ever written
