Awful story line in a videogame?

^ Topic. In your own opinion what videogame titles had to havean awfulstory line?

Here is my list:

1. Rascal (PSX)
2. Star Ocean 3 (PS2)
3. Final Fantasy X (PS2) it had a great sound track though
4. Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2) pretty sweet ATB based Battle system though
5. Grandia 3 (PS2)
6. Minority Report (PS2)
7. Final Fantasy 5 (SNES)
8. Final Fantasy 3 (I'm not talking about the US version of FF6. Original and DS remake)
9. Every Tales of title I have got to play
10. Niga Gaiden 1 & 2
11. Halo 1 & 2 (never played PT.3)
12. Soul Calibur 4 (I love the game but the story is really bad)
13. Street Fighter 4 (same as SC4)

Thats all I can think of at the moment

I hated Bioshocks storyline.

Condemened 2's story line sucked compared to Condemned 1.

FF12's was lame.

Mirror's Edge sucks as well.

Can't think of anymore right now.

I loved GeoW2, I have 1125 Gamerscore in it, but I thought the story was pretty dumb.

Giant Worms sinking cities, Helicopter rescue ending sequence AGAIN, the DOM Wife storyline...but, I loved the gameplay.

Perfect Dark Zero, I had to replay the campaign more than once to get the plot. Plus we don't really know much about Joanna Dark even though it's a prequel.

Far Cry 2. That story was a bigger buzz kill than buzz killington.clembo1990

Shadow of the Colossus. I mean all you do is run around an empty place and stab some giant rock beasts that just wanted to live in peace. talk about drab.Hewkii

FO3 had a pretty terribad main questline...

Gears of War 1

Crysis

Far Cry 2

COD 4

Half Life 2

3) Silent Hill 3 and 4 - I loved playing through 2, but I found 3 and 4 to be very boring. Played both for about an 2-4 hours, then took em back to the store.Jrfanfreak88

Eternal Sonata.

I know I'm going to be hated by the fanboys, but Halo (1 and 3) and Gears 1 (still haven't played the second one) had pretty lame story lines.

It's impossible to connect with the main character (was Dominic his name?), and in Halo... horrible ripoff of Samus.

I could never swallow the characters on those games... I respect the ones who like them though.

and in Halo... horrible ripoff of Samus._TheJoker_

I'm with you, I loved the first 3 ones, and for the fourth... I kinda liked it but never finished it, got bored on the second run of the prison.

Fallout 3

Crappy characters, crappy storytelling, and one of the worst endings in a game ever.

But good thing that the gameplay was...

At the very least, it isn't considered canon, or so I would assume. On the subject of SH4 though, I will say the endings amused me. They were basically "Great", "Good", "Okay", and "Jesus christ you screwed up" :lol:Skittles_McGee

A bounty hunter killing off nearly an entire species against space pirates versus a bio-enhanced human fighting in the human race's survival. Yeah, I can see Halo was a huge rip-off of Samus. /sarcasm.

As for my own, Gears 2 tops the list. Epic just added in random crap to justify a sequal rather than actually really build on those elements already in the game. however, the part with Dom and Maria was just golden though.

Kingdom Hearts was pretty bad.

Stupidest Storyline (for games that are story heavy types) would be MGS 2, FFX, Oblvion

Saints Row 2 is pretty shocking.

[QUOTE="Jrfanfreak88"] 5) GTA Series - GTA is some fun stuff, but basically every GTA starts and ends the same way. Small time guy turns into juggernaut mob king. No surprises here.II-FBIsniper-II

I thought the story in GTA IV was just average Vice City on the other hand had one of the best story lines ever.

Ninja Gaiden 2, if you consider it a story and not an excuse to go around the world and kill stuff.

Drawing from recent memory, Fallout 3 has an intriguing general premise, but its main plot is disappointing, and has one of the worst endings you could have for that type of game since, well, it ends.

gears of war 1, i didn't play the second one. cod4 it was confusing and to short.

Assassins Creed and Left 4 Dead. I know Left 4 Dead isn't really suppose to have a story, but in the only cutsceneBill says something like "They're changing" and then its leftblank. It could have had a really epic storyline is all I'm gettingat...

Dark Sector had a pretty bad story. The game was a lot of fun but I never really knew why I was doing anything or even where I was going. [QUOTE="Hewkii"]Shadow of the Colossus.

It's Hewkii for darn sake :lol:

The man is a master comedian, you need to check your sarcasm detector.

On topic: Chaos Wars has a terrible story and just laughable voice acting.

masseffect... no mater how hard i try i though the story was just boring and retarded and over done yet i care when princess peach gets stolen and wonder how its going to end...
