What do you think is the best Storyline ever for a video game.

For me it's KOTOR, followed by MGS2

Killer 7. Man, the story is so bizarre, yet it also seems so realistic. And the world is actually something you can believe in. (apart from the mutant Heaven Smiles)

KOTOR was the best, but the Elder Scrolls series had some amazing depth with all the different background information.

EarthBound. Not in its plot because it's your standard video game plot structure, but because of all of the details in the plot.

Morrowind was breath taking. So much history, mixing in politics, religion, and cultures all within the game world. Truly amazing.

See signature.

 The storyline in Halo is actually extremely intricate and very, very good. I've read all four books and the way the story is put together is amazing.

Wasn't a big fan of Diablo's story, the story was superfluous to the amazing game.

The original Half-Life's story wasn't that good. The story was presented well, but the story itself wasn't that great. Half-Life 2, on the other hand, had an excellent story. Like I said earlier, it reminds me of 1984. Probably got alot of inspiration from there, I'll guess. >_>

I meant the series in general, nice observation though...never looked at it that way.

Diablo's story was barely the draw. It was all about teh dropz and teh phat lewts. :)

Starcraft has the best story I've experienced in a video game. Aside from Starcraft, I'm a big fan of Nintendo's style of RPGs like Earthbound, Paper Mario and the Mario GBA RPGs. They're just really, really witty and funny.

metal gear solid one. love the plot twists. love the bosses sniper wolf, raven, ocelot. loved grayfox(so badass). liquid snake and his whole"OUTER HEAVEN" line. my favorite storyline in any videogame. i loved the gc remake cause the videos were cooler and had better graphics. if they made a PS3 version or 360 version of a MGS1remake then OMFG that would be so off the hook.

I vote for Shenmue.  I just became so engrossed with the story and gameplay that I bought an Xbox because I heard Shenmue 2 was coming out for it.
