Forums - Gaming - Best game Storyline

Me? I feel sad for those who are dissing other people opinions as if they are wrong.

Planescape : Torment, I could care less for that game and people would tell me I don't know a good game story. Oh well.

My opinion? Xenogears. That game reaks of EPIC.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

It pains me to see so many people say MGS games (badly written stories) and not Planescape: Torment or any other game that completely crushes MGS series in terms of story.

Yeah because the writing is so bad that I cried? I never played Planescape so it is still MGS for me. Are you one of those "if a game uses cutscenes to tell it's story, then it sucks" people? If you want bad writing, play the Devil May Cry series

 

 

no... the story isn't well written... a story should have a start a middle and a end... MGS has none of these. You get a sense of what's going on outside of the game but the game never really tells you why no matter how badly you cripple these asshats they keep comming back. And some of the stuff is just so over the top... mechs are one thing... hands taking over a person? This isn't a fantasy game... this game has some grounds in reality

Seriously, did you play the whole Metal Gear saga? The game has a start (Metal Gear Solid 3), a middle (Metal Gear), and a end (Metal Gear Solid 4). Mechs make total sense, and these mechs are called Metal Gears. They do explain why and how they were created, and like I said, MGS 4 concludes every single plot hole from the previous games (even the old MSX ones). In fact, all the games ALSO have a certain meaning to them, like MGS was about genes, MGS 2 was about what you want the next generations to know, MGS 3 was the back story of The Boss (and Big Boss) and loyalty to your country, MGS 4 explains that the whole saga was a story of friendship and loyalty, etc. Get your facts straight. :/

He probably didn't want to have to keep track of all of those plot points.  Can't blame him though as you need to remember the plot points in order to completely understand the story.  He probably just prefers the stories in stand alone games.  MGS's(the series) story was epic in every sense of the word.

Has anyone here played Mafia? The storyline for that game was brilliant, and takes the cake for me.

Finally, someone says something that makes sense.  I am sad that people like ItsaMii(he disses other people's opinions, me for example, like they have no meaning behind him) are on this forum.

MGS2: Sons of Liberty has the best storyline ever conceived in either video game or movie form. Xenogears is an honorable mention at number 2.

Am I crazy for saying the Half-life series? I really think that's the way a videogame story should be told. Right through the eyes of the protagonist, before the eyes of the player. Valve is the only one who has really gotten a good feel for that perspective.

Again, I'll say this: Planescape Torment or bust.

Another not-terrible "answers" are:
Deus Ex
Fallout 1 & 2
Grim Fandango
Mafia
Max Payne 1 & 2
Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines
The Curse of Monkey Island
The Longest Journey
Warcraft 3 & Frozen Throne
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
The Witcher
Beyond Good & Evil
Myst series
Silent Hill 2
Kotor 2
Final Fantasy VI

and a few more I forget
