The two best stories I found in gaming were Suikoden II and Final Fantasy Tactics, both are unequalled.
Some other games with amazing stories
Persona 3 and 4
Suikoden V
Xenosaga (all of them)
Both God of Wars
ICO and SotC (not a "traditional" story, but it made you care about the characters like no other game)
Portal (again, not a traditional story, but truly amazing on how it's done)
Some FFs (7,8,10, 12 somewhat though lacking character development, 6 to an extent)
Disgaea (totally crazy, but excellent too)
Prince of Persia trilogy (with some ups and downs, SoT is excellent, WW has an excellent plot but the characters suck, TT is great too)
| d21lewis said: Indigo Prophecy was well on its way to the top of the list, until it decided to go retarded. I hope and pray on my magic wishing star that Heavy Rain doesn't follow suit. I have high hopes for that game. Aside from the (usually great) presentation, the story is the biggest thing going for Heavy Rain, in my opinion. It had better deliver! |
Totally agree, if Fahrenheit had the same story quality during the ending than during the first 5 hours, it would be one of the best stories ever. Can't beleive how they butchered the ending so much in that game
