Best story this generation

This is the worst generation for story judging from the games I have played. BTW, MGS4, while one of them best this gen, was HORIIBLE compared to the past 3 games.

I vote for Super Paper Mario. Honestly the story and writing was done so very well.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="dreman999"]The collectors are the reapers tools. They are no longer alive. They might as well be the reapers themselves, but in truth they were their avatars. dreman999

You did not play ME2. The reapers are organic and inorganic beings. They're not machines. Also, collects are the tool for the reapers. All this is confirmed in ME2. If you played ME2 you would know this. This fact was bluntly stated in me2 with no form of confusion over it's fact what so ever.

The reapers are an ancient race, yes organic and inorganic, that comes back to this galaxy every 50 000 years to enslave the population, kill them, turn them into goo and make a new reaper, who each is an avatar of the race they enslaved. Which sounds pretty stupid to me.

I'm sorry but it does. How in the hell do they manage to eradicate all life when there are at least 20 races in the ME universe, and god knows how much species that haven't discovered Space travel. And how do they chose which race to make a reaper. When they mention the previous killing of everything in the galaxy, they only mention the proteans. So were the proteans the only advanced species 50 000 years ago? How is it possible that there was only one race back then but twenty races now. I'm sorry this is why stupid vilains like this make no sense.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] That's wrong. The reapers are robots made from the goo of the advanced races they enslave every 50 000(?) years. It sounds stupid but it is what it is. You need to get the story before you say it's this genereations finest.GeneralShowzer

No, it's not. The thing is that we don't know why theyare doing it. And from what been stated so for form them it sound that they think they're helping us. The reapers are an exaple of blue and orange moraliy. As for the collecter, they are the reapers tools, they are no longer a self thinking race, not even slave. They no better than a remote control car and the reapers can directlypossessthem at any time. They are no more than an extended hand of the reapers.

Mgs4 the perfect game coltgames

I hope you are being serious and not (unobviously) sarcastic like some others :x lol. I wouldnt say its perfect, but its pretty darn close and worthy of a 10!

Mass Effect 1

Every story can be simplified and generalized.

MGS4 - good guy does lots of shooting and defeats tyrant before he conquers the world
GoW - bald dude in really bad mood slices everything in his path and gets revenge
Assassin's Creed - mysterious man assassinates bad people and stops global conspiracy
Batman AA - fearless hero saves the city... again

See how easy that is? If you're deliberately going to turn a blind eye to Mass Effect's intriguing story of a cycle of extinction, how a vastly ancient race manipulates the evolution of other species to serve their own purpose, as well as a complex history of galactic affairs between unique and disparte civilizations, like how the Salarians uplifted the primitive Krogan to space faring status and then had to contain their rebellion by stunting their population growth, and how humanity' entry into the space era is a struggle for them to find their place in an already establihed glactic community....

well there really isn't much point in debating the story quality of this game when you insist on being so uninformed. Might have helped if you actually played the game ;)

And yeah I am also going to cast my ballot for best story to Mass Effect and Alan Wake.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I don't know what people see in this game. It was the typical Bioware storyline. Hero who can't do wrong gathers party and saves world from ancient evil. GeneralShowzer

BG2 and JE are vastly diffent. ME2 and NWN are no way a like. Try again.

All Bioware games are in some ways alike. Some more than others.

The collectors are a race daugh. They might be an enslaved race, but they are still a mysterios old alien race which they cooked up for ME2 because they were saving the reapers for ME3. And it's pretty clear by now that the reapers are ensuring survival by assimilating species.GeneralShowzer

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="jasonharris48"] I've been meaning to check that one out.

Easily Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I was immersed in that game from start to finish. I don't get why people are saying MGS4 so much. I thought it was by far the worst story in the series though some parts were quite funny.

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"]

[QUOTE="dreman999"] Best boxing comic ever........but the guy drags the story for the fights too long. In the manga, a 6 round match would be writen about for 4-6 months.dreman999

It's a tie between MGS4 and RDR in my opinion. MGS4 managed to neatly tie up all the loose-ends of the series' massive story, and bring them to a close. That's no small feat. And RDR, well lets just say it's story is on par with some of the best films in the Western genra.

These were the best for me so far.

[QUOTE="dreman999"][QUOTE="jasonharris48"] Oh I check it out eventually. Right I've been catching up on a lot of Western comics and just starting to get into Marvel comics.

Ugh this thread sickens me. Its basically just name the most popular games of the generation that even attempt to have a storyline. I haven't played enough games this gen to say which game has the best storyline, but I sure as hell know its not ME or MGS4. TWEWY alone blows those games out of the water. I bet theres even some better than TWEWY.

MGS4 hands down.

How do you know he hasnt played them? Maybe he did play them but just didnt find the stories particulary enjoyable. I cant say I cared for either MGS4's plot or Mass Effect's plot either. Though I must admit both of them did a pretty good job providing a cinematic experience however.

Twilight Princess.

There have also been some really great stories in some of the DS/PSP games released this gen. I thought TWEWY was very unique and interesting.

Easily Final Fantasy 13.

Ive played and beaten MGS4. I found it to be extremely overrated, along with its story. MGS1 had a much better story, as Im sure 3 did as well(havent played it though) MGS2 was alright, I liked it much more than MGS4. Have you played TWEWY? Easily my favorite story in any game.

Edit: Ive only played the intro to MGS3. I got instantly turned off by it though for some reason. I think cause of its setting. Strange, I know. Maybe I will give it another go on the 3DS.

Nope, I may get around to it eventually. Possibly next summer. Though Im pretty sure Id enjoy ME1 more based on the community here. Was ME's story unique? because thats how I judge whether a story is good. ME to me seems to have a pretty standard RPG storyline.Scythes777

[QUOTE="Scythes777"][QUOTE="dreman999"]I would not say that. Whatr make ME so good is itvery gray universe and living mirrior main character. Even the reapers themselves are gray, their is no true good or evil.

dreman999

I doubt my laptop can handle ME1. Although I can play the witcher on it on the lowest settings.
