Would you guys consider Zelda Majora's Mask to be a good story? bbkkristian

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Mass Effects dialogue is top notch, in fact, its dialgue in someplaces rival many movies. Good dialogue is important in storytelling because it makes the characters more believable and conveys the story far better. A huge reason why Thane is such a great character is becuase of his well written dialogue with Shepard. "Aren't we discussing game stories?" Great dialogue helps make the story great, jasonharris48

Wow, Mass Effect, the game where you choose the dialogue option, and Shepard decides to say something 50% different? And when you want to answer, and he makes a question instead? It's laughable.

The dialogues are mediocre, having choices doesn't change that fact, and the texts and scripts are also standard level.

Is this any better than standard?

Be sincere.

EDIT: or this? it's been done a lot before. those are just examples...

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] I can't believe on I'm agreeing with Texas on any level lol. But the Mass Effect titles are two of the best Space Operas stories featured in a game and better than recent Space Operas in general. Now I'm not saying the writing is top notch and it's the best ever but it is pretty good.

Really? I think it's weak. It's the kind of feature we see in some movies with low production values.

Now, Vagrant Story or Bioshock dialogues are some good examples of well written scripts.

Yeah bro! David Lynch has nothing on Bioware.

The best silent story is Super Metroid...there is just something about that game and the mood it puts you in.

Also the first Ninja Gaiden had a mediocre storyline but it started this trend with the cutscenes and storytelling

Heavy Rain?

As one of the most die-hard adventure gamers on GameSpot, I have to say, The Longest Journey is severely overrated. Yes, it's got a pretty original setting, yes, April Ryan isn't your typical protagonist, but everything else felt rather bloated. It was admirably 25 hours or so long, but a lot of that was filler. It could easily have been cut back a few hours.

Other adventure games have much better stories e.g Broken Sword: The Shadows of the Templars and The Gabriel Knight series come to mind.
