1- Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (best videogame story since Planescape: Torment) 2- The Witcher 3- Bioshock 4- Sam & Max: Season 1 5- The Lord of the Rings Online (4 out of 5 were PC exclusives)
This. Best Videogame Story ever. |
More like, IMO:
1) Bioshock
2) The Darkness
3) Mass Effect
4) Portal
5) Hotel Dusk
...and all of those are available on consoles.
The Witcher had a terrible translation and some cringe-worthy voice acting. Sam & Max is a comedy game which, while it may have good writing, has sort of a negligible story. And I refuse to believe that you can tell a decent story in a persistent online world like LotRO.
The only one that might be up there is NWN2, but I haven't played it. It was apparently written by Chris Avellone, though, so I may have to.
At least we can agree on the last point, though.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
