We need a video games like LOST the TV show. In terms of story i mean.

Season 6 is here, YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Anyway, im talking about a good and mysterious story. With a great plot and characters and maybe some deep meanings and phylosophical guestions. Video games are also a good way to tell a good story, and it certanly has some advantages over books and movies.

But thers nothing like it, 99% of video games stories are always the same crap. Cant they hire some good writters for the story?

Most video games stories are predictable. I want something like Lost, you never know whats goona happen next. Thers no suspense in video games.

Also good and original characters and villians. A villian like Ben would be great and original. Even in season 6 you still have no idea if hes the good or the bad guy. Hes very mysterious. The first i saw that small guy, i had no idea of how important he would be. Appereance can really be misleading. The guy is even kinda badass, even tough he looks like a normal guy, he even knows martial arts. I would never have guessed he would be like this.

We need more villians like this. Usually in games they try too hard to be memorable and badass.

Anyone that watches Lost know what im talking about.

so you want developers to include meaningless plot elements in the game to help boost how mysterious it is?

Lol I'm probably gonna get made fun of for this but, does anyone else find it really hard to keep up with LOST's plot?

"As for the bad luck numbers, the answer is NO answer - Damon saying "I think that that question will never, ever be answered. I couldn't possibly imagine [how we would answer that question]. We will see more ramifications of the numbers and more usage of the numbers, but it boggles my mind when people ask me, "What do the numbers mean?"

I was able to follow lost really well up until around 2 seasons ago, when they started doing the month long periods without doing new episodes, I just kinda gave up on the series after that.

I'm not spending money on a game that relies on pretentious plot elements that are made up on the go.

So a game that answers plot questions...with more questions? Sounds exciting.

Yeah, I'd freaking love a videogame series where by the fifth game they still have unanswered questions from the first one...

We have one it's Called Final Fantasy....NO WAIT! it's called The Legend of Zelda....NO WAIT! It's called Metroid! NO WAIT........

Well, the way I see it, that's the closest it gets in gaming... I mean, EVERYBODY I know (who played MGS2 I mean) dropped a big sound WTF at the very end... no one knew what was going to happen, just like the end of every Lost chapter.

We get more of these out of Lost because it's a Tv series, but it's hard to translate to a videogame.

Probably because there's no game in the world that's just satisfied with leaving a horrible mess of unfinished plot elements behind at each game's "conclusion"instead of actually resolving them.

We did last gen;

Particularly the first one. It strikes me as very similar to LOST, although you may not catch it. But I found it to be, ranging from how the story is told (non linear, jumping all over the place), the subject matter, the way scenes unfolded (the kinds of things that happened and how the scenes were shot), the emphasis on struggle, the way the music was handled ... Very similar imo.

Edit: Another aspect that's similar is how the characters are thrown into a struggle for survival and as you go through the story you are given more information on their past, and the informaiton on their past relates to their actions in the present.

Sorry, I stopped watching Lost after the first polar bear...

Wow a lot of Lost hate in here. Popular things do get hated on here :(.Ah well, I guess that's why I don't come here all that much.

I like Lost, I plan on watching it to the end, but there are so many crazy things going on, so many loose plot threads. It just went downhill after season 3, and there are already games like that. Indigo Prophecy has the crazy "what's going on!" thing, Alan Wake looks to be mysterious and use a chapter based approach like Alone in the Dark, etc. Games like Uncharted 2, Bioshock and Half-Life alreayd have amazing stories anyways.

Actually there's a perfectly good explanation for that. But you wouldn't know because your one of those people.

Ah, good one hakakunomo. That is the first Siren right, Forbidden Siren? Thats the only one i played, many years ago. And yes, i dont remember very well, but i loved the game and it was pretty mysterious and had some suspense. I played it when i was little so it was really scaring, but i always wanted to continue playing cause of the story.

Damn, im butchering english language lol, its already a bit late and im starting to get sleepy.

[QUOTE="MetroidPrimePwn"]

[QUOTE="Drakes_Fortune"] Plot twists isnt really the word. Its more suspense, and the way it creates many theories on all the mysteries. Thers no game like that.Drakes_Fortune

I'm not a hater... I've actually watched all Lost seasons so far, and I intend on continue doing so 'til the end... but some of these mysteries are completely (how should I put it??) idiotic?? Again, I'm not a hater but even I admit some of these "mystery" elements cross the line and become really absurd.
