MASS EFFECT

Best storyline in my 20 years of gaming (I'm now 28 years old).
Yes, it's that good.

I feel bad for you, Mass Effect isn't even in my top50 in terms of story.

I don't even have a Top 50 video game stories since half if not more of the games I play either have a mediocre if not downright bad stories or the story is purely an excuse for the gameplay.  By the way, what us your top 50 stories?  It doesn't matter how you answer it.

No way, it's no a bad story, but it's not anything amazing either, there are far better stories than ME

Xenogears has the greatest game story ever.

Europa universalis 3, when I play as the teutonic order. When i'm finished, I click resign, and it gives me the summary of my rule. A tale for the ages, and many people will hear of it, because all of europe and asia was under my jurisdiction.

Oh, I did that. Amazing how I can make the tiny state of Bavaria rule most of Canada and have the Ottoman Empire as a vassal

Okami.

KOTOR

Am I mistaken in saying Heavenly Sword had a decent story?

I remember the voice acting being superb, but not sure if the story was subpar or good.
