Is Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne better than Xenogears in terms of plot?

Is there a lot of story and does it deal with any thought provoking subject matter?

Best: Suikoden III
Worst: FF X-2

I have to agree that its difficult to choose a "best" -- most of the plotlines are pretty weak, even if the character development is decent, as with most JRPGs. Good basic plotlines are... not easy to come by with JRPGs, apparently. If Xenosaga wasn't so long and detailed, I might vote it worst, since its plotline was... really a stretch, and the character dialogue was waaaay out there, at least in English... I can't imagine how the Japanese version could have made much more sense.

Can I list 20+ games into the worst storyline?

Games are not suppose to be believable. They are suppose to be an escapism from the pressures in life.

 

There are several degrees of beliavable. I can understand and sympathize with a Hero trying to kill God to retrieve mankind`s freedom. However I can`t understand someone trying to destroy all existence just because he is angry or got a childhood trauma.

A hero trying to kill God.  Yeah, that is very original. /sarcasm

How is that not believable? Several notable serial killers have expressed their wish to have been able to wipe out all of humanity if they were capable.

But from what we know, Humans only exist on Earth and we don't know if there are extra terrestrials on other far away planets.  He is saying that some trying to destroy every living being in the universe isn't believeable since it is scientifically impossible in real-life.
