The Worlds Ends With You for me, was a story that I could relate to. Everyone should play that game.

I wouldn't say it was the best this generation, but it was one that stuck with me the most; Mass Effect.

Totally, I loved all the characters, especially Joshua, and if you look back on the game once you've finished it, you can see how all the characters develop and change, and it just goes to show the depth and creativity of the writers :P It's absolutely one of the best games ever made :)

It's kinda tough choice but I'd probably go with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Nice character development, interesting and charming characters. I wish they had developed Star Killer's and Juno Eclipse's relationship a bit more, otherwise I found it satisfying. Grand Theft Auto IV and Lost Odyssey were pretty good too, I think.

Yeah but the ending didn't change my opinion of him. I guess I was just biased against him :P

Brütal Legend. It's the hilarious epic tale of how a metal roadie got his groove. I can't really ask for me.

Where the heck is Bioshock? That redefined story-telling and it didn't force cutscenes on you! A man chooses (gameplay) a slave obeys (watching cutscenes)

Hmm......certainly a choice I toss back between a few choice games. atm I'm gonna say The Force Unleashed. The reason being is how I was floored at how they added a really unanticipated twist to the canon. The very idea of a certain someone's master plan ended up being his own demise (later on) really showed what power can do to someone. Great way to add onto the canon without having any underlying holes (that I could notice). Can't wait to try out TFU II in the near future.

What exactly are we trying to narrow this thread down to: story or overall presentation? SW needs to do better able laying ground rules in this regard. Do we mean just on paper or how it was executed? These questions need to be answered. > : (

i enjoyed the uncharted games infamous dead space (pretty interesting stuff if you read the audio logs and all that) Darksiders bioshock kz2 (to an extent...not overall but just a little bit.. like the fact that YOU were invading instead of every other game when you are getting invaded..and the whole space nazi thing i thought was awesome....but the overall story wasnt like..mindblowing or anything..just that i enjoyed it) I also enjoyed resident evil 5s story...but not having played the 1st 3 games (properly anyways) some things i may have not have known but were pretty obvious.

This gen really hasn't had many great stories. I can even think of one that I really liked. Maybe Heavy Rain?

I'd say Mass Effect (series), Bio Shock (only the first), or Mega Man 10 (jk), or Uncharted(either there isn't an aspect to that series that isn't great).

I love metal gear solid 4, heavy rain and yakuza 3, but I have to say NIER takes the cake, what an amazing game.
