Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2. Hopefully ME3 lives up to my expectations, which areusually never too high.

Gray Matter easily. It's the only game this gen that actualy not only has great plot that keeps you guessing till the end, it also has by far the best writting this gen. Not to mention being the only game this generation with fully fleshed out psychologicaly realistic characters.

You're sarcasm is starting to irk me McGee! :evil: jk Umm I'll have to go with the Witcher, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 1 (to some extent) some other titles I can't think of ATM. Although not the best I do give some props to MGS Peace Walker. It was far beeter than the crap known as MGS4.

Nothing beats the epic-ness of NEED FOR SPEED's UNDER COVER Story.

It was beautifully written,i loved the characters,they had real emotion,real drama,real betrayal. The ending was so beautiful i almost cried.The bosses were executed very well.

According to the official website, Gray Matter was released in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. I dont think it has been released elsewhere though. What Adrian said, made me very pumped up for the game.

Since I havent played it yet though I will say the Witcher has the best story this gen.

It's always hard to pick a favorite (especially since I can't remember any right now *brainfart) but The Witcher was quite good. Mass Effect 1 had a solid story that was well told and gave you a really awesome feeling towards the climax of the game, Mass Effect 2's story was weaker but it makes up for it with its brilliantly detailed characters. Metal Gear Solid 4's story wasn't anywhere as good as MGS3 but it was a nice final chapter to the series (Hurrrrrr nanomachines).

Red Dead probably clinches it though. That final song along with the ending nearlyhad me in floods of tears. :P

Its because MGS4 is the pinnacle of video game storytelling. Kojima's a legend ahead of his time. You just don't "get it".

Hey, isn't that what people call "cliche" in JRPG stories? Just wondering.

It's a cliche that existed in RPGs even before JRPGs came around.

You can narrow down every game like that, for example. The Witcher : Hero who can't do wrong has sex and gets his potions back. See how stupid that sounds? Now read your post again.

It is though. As much as I love ME1 it is your typical Bioware story and not so orginal Space Opera but I still love it.

Huh I thought it was better overall, and I have to say Vulgan (idk how to spell it) was the worst character in MGS ever lol.

I have (including Peace walker) and it doesn't suck (I do think MGS4 was pretty bad though. But I do not find it as great as people make it out to be.
