I suggest you play Planescape: Torment, Deus Ex, Fallout 1&2 and Grim Fandango before you say anything like that. |
Have you even played XG? That game craps all over the onnes you mentioned in terms of storytelling. Hell, out of the ones on your list only PC and DE even make a remote attempt at trying to mentally stimulate the player though still not to the mind fuck depth that XG did |
I'm a videogame stories fan, and try to play the best of them (provided I have the means for it). It is by no coincidence that my 2 favorite genres are RPG and Adventure.
I would rate Xenogears' story a 6.5/10 (maybe 7), since I remember it sort of crumbles halfway through, and most characters were uninteresting.
Xenogears was not deep nor complex, it only had a big ass story. MGS2's had complexity, but the story itself was destroyed by it (not a good trade-off if you ask me).
