Greatest video game series story?

Games left out for reasons mentioned below

Silent hill series- Close but no dice.

Red dead series- Only the second one is considered a hit

Uncharted series- Kind of cliche story.

STANDALONE GAMESX

Example: Grim fandango. NOT A SERIES

metal gear for one continuous story, final fantasy is good for each separate one.

Wheres Zelda?

people are picking Metal Gear over Final Fantasy?

I love the story of Metal Gear. Yeah it's convoluted but that's part of the reason why I like it.

Half life is hard too understand but thats what makes it good

i hope we get a 7 hour war game

In no order Half Life (it isn't the story that's so great though but the cast of characters, atmosphere, and presentation IMO), MGS (except MGS4, sure the overall plot is convoluted, it can get really wacky but it is very enjoyable), Final Fantasy (mainly because of FFTactics War of the Lions, FFVI,FFVIII, FFXI,FFXII), Silent Hill titles (except for Homecoming and Origins), Team ICO series, Mass Effect (one of the best space opera stories featured in a video game), Kotor (same as Mass Effect)

why no Halo ?? Read the books, Play the games then come and tell me Halo's story is shallow. Nonstop-Madness

why is mgs on the list? the story is so complicated with all the moral implications of nuclear detrrence, cloning, communism, capitalism, post tramatic stress disorders, getting used by the government, CIA conspiracies, countries without soldiers....i could go on, but i think you get the point

whats so hard? even my 9 year old cousin understood it

by his words"freeman opened a portal, aliens come though the portal, freeman has to stop them"

correct me if i'm wrong, but Bioware isn't a series....

No, this is about gaming stories, not about books. And Halo's story isn't that great.

Metal Gear Solid series. MGS3 and 4 have arguably the greatest video game stories ever.

correct me if i'm wrong, but Bioware isn't a series....

Sword-Demon

9 voters seem to have played it though :P

MGS. I've never been drawn into a game's story like I have with the MGS series.

Almost 12 years have passed since the first Half Life and we still don't have the faintest idea of who the G-man is.

Mass effect to me so Bioware

actually, on a recent interview the questioner mentions g-man and the guy with the glasses said that he is freeman from the future, NO JOKE

Legacy of Kain series of course.

Final Fantasy series doesn't continue a story, each game is stand alone EXCEPT Final Fantasy X.

Which is why I don't get why it's even a choice in the poll... SMH

P.S. - I voted for Metal Gear Solid but my greatest video game series story would be Grand Theft Auto III series.

Grand Theft Auto III spawned 4 sequels to expand the story, which I LOVED and told you the story of minor characters and how they got to liberty city.

San Andreas, Vice City, Vice City Stories, and Liberty City Stories are those Four Sequels and all are part of the expanded GTAIII storyline.

he said that it was a time traveling freeman, maybe he became an alien? i honestly dont know but the spokesperson for valve confirmed it, which would explain why g-man's words always come true, its because he knows they are gunna happen

With the given choice in the poll I would have to go with the Final Fantasy series.

Metal Gear series by lightyears. Especially from the first Solid to Metal Gear Solid 4. Heavy Cinematics, legendary storyline.
