Lookin for some games with a great story.

Well I'm so tired of the pointless shoot em' ups and trash games on my 360 and Wii that I've gotten off my butt to get on this forum and ask you all for some recommendations.

I've played these:
Silent Hill 2
Braid
Persona 3 FES
Beyond Good & Evil
Kingdom Hearts 2
Metal Gear Solid Series
Shadow of the Colossus
Final Fantasy Series
Prince of Persia Series
Eternal Darkness
Paper Mario
Zelda Series
Pikmin
Half-Life Series
Okami
Assassin's Creed
SW:KOTOR
Pyschonauts
Halo 1
Halo 2(jk)
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Earthbound
Chrono Trigger

I generally consider Silent Hill 2, Braid, Persona 3, Metal Gear Solid 3, and SotC as my favorite video game stories for an idea of what I'm into. As you can see the uniqueness of how the story is told is as important as the actual story to me.

I've played all these games that have awesome stories or some consider to have awesome stories (Halooooo). So don't reccomend any of those. I also already know of the awesomeness that is the stories of Deus Ex, Planescape, and Grim Fandango, but have not acquired them yet. Also don't say the japanese one on the dreamcast that never saw its conclusion...don't say it

Hmm good stories. Some of my favs for gaming are FF IV for its quite interesting range of characters and themes.

The Witcher for touching on such dark themes, nodistinction between good and evil. Those are two of my favs

You need to play Mass Effect. Oh, its on the list...never mind

Fallout 3 had quite a good storyline going for it. Oblivion aswell, not so much.. But it was still good,.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village. :)

Suikoden 2

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy
The Longest Journey
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Syberia

Ive never played it, but In every thread about a good story, some one always mentions Planescape tourment as having the best story ever

• Yakuza
• Zone of the Enders 2
• Tales of the Abyss
• The Bouncer

That's about all that comes to mind at the moment.

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy
The Longest Journey
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Syberia

MetroidPrimePwn

Ooh yeh Fahrenheit was a good un.

Xenogears, Xenosaga, Final Fantasy VIII, Siren, ... probably more

Definitely the longest journey, best story in a game right there

oh and avoid fahrenheit, unless you want to be disgusted by the ending.

no it wasn't that bad.. but the story started out so great and just fell flat flopping like a dying fish. It could have been so much more.

KOTOR2. It's not as epic as the first game, but in a good way. Kinda like how Philadelphia isn't as epic of a movie as something like ID4, but it's a better movie. I think the story and characters are more interesting.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time has an ending that you probably won't see coming. The story is kinda generic but it ends in a way that most games/movies wouldn't do. The platforming is fun and the story is straight enough that i'd recommend it just to see the ending and to do some of the puzzles.

If you liked Persona 3 then you'll like Persona 4.

So far none of the characters exhibit dragonballz tendencies so, I think they learned.

[QUOTE="8Tango"] Yep, true that. Isn't Heavy Rain by the same makers? If it is hopefully that will give us a good ending =DNorule04

Yeah, Heavy Rain seems to have a much more, well, "grounded" story.

I would suggest Vagrant Story.

Shadow of the colossus

play god of war 1 and 2

Get a pc, then we can talk about games with awesome stories;)

The Longest Journeytagyhag

win

most video games with good plots are 'good' by game standards. next to much of anything else, they tend to be garbage. dreamfall is different. its legitimately good.

Do you like adventure games?

If so then:

Fahrenheit

Syberia (the sequel is ok too)

The Longest Journey (the sequel is ok too)

Myst Series
