1. Ocarina Of Time

2. Horizon:ZD (Yes I loved it that much)

3. First 3 Resident Evil games (Story went to shit after the first 3)

4. Alan Wake (Actually really enjoyed it also)

5. Fear Effect

Hey look the same five games you only ever really talk about in every thread you create almost every single day.

I enjoyed the 1st 2 broken sword games both had a gripping story.

I guessed the games before I even opened the thread lol, dear god Ghost you're a complete joke and have been for some time around here.

• Mafia
• Portal
• Planescape Torment
• Gemini Rue
• Homeworld

ON a side note - I really like BOTW's story. Aside from it being told completely OPTIONAL, it's sparse and to the point, with everyone failed from the onset. trying to fix what the fucked up. It seems to have an don't-mess-with technology anti-nuclear message, with Hyrule Castle basically Hiroshima. a monolithic scorched ruin of civilization emitting a radiation like effect. Zelda stuck still in time as statue just as the victims of the blast would have been.

Or it's about a little boy fighting monsters.

Im a fan of portal. but it doesnot have much of story. Half life 1/2 on other hand has incredible story.

Mass effect 1/2 overarching story here was pretty good.

Witcher series ties into and fits well with the books.

KOTOR 2, imo one of the best Star wars stories in any medium.

Technically that's more than 5 games already so i'll leave it there.

Halflife 1/2 have pretty generic stories. They are just told incredibly well properly utilizing the media than trying to emulate another one.

Portal's story is very much like Metal Gear Solid 2's where everything that seems orderly and expected, is a simulated illusion. In Portals case, everyone has been murdered, and you're actually cog in a long line of tests where the test subject has their compliance rewarded with death. Once the player breaks out it... actually. Actually. It reminds me more of Dark City, a god tier movie.

Dark City is really good. It has lots of bald aliens and like Portal the city is a construct for the aliens to examine humans, once he learns what's going on and breaks out he has a big mind fight.

The Last of Us, FFIX, Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, Dark Souls

Yeah, Chrono Trigger was pretty top notch. Great story there. Personally, if I'm being honest, Uncharted 4 has the best story in all of the video games I have ever played (and I've played a lot). It's not even really so much an amazing game, but the story really struck a chord with me. The theme of going on that one last adventure (when Drake had seemingly hung up the whole treasure hunting thing) and when they find the treasure there is this realization that even though the goal has finally been reached, it doesn't feel as good as what Sam (Drake's brother) was expecting. Drake's done this several times before and tells him at the very end, "in the end, you're still left with that same feeling (emptiness). Sometimes you just gotta figure out what you're gonna keep and what you've gotta let go"

I think Uncharted 4's story affected me the most because of my problem with wanting more and more video games. I've been gaming for 20 years now. I've played sooooo many games. I made sure to check several lists online as well as metacritic and opencritic as to what are the best of the best games to play before I die. I've spent thousands of hours on these silly things but in the end, I just want more. I couldn't stop. I was a junkie. I've been getting better now that I have a full-time job and am making better choices with my money. It also helps that many video games look like copy/paste of past iterations and lackluster stories so maybe it is time for me to start thinking about hanging it up. I would blow $60 on one of these things new and when I got to the end, usually, I didn't feel much of anything....just emptiness. Similarly to how Sam felt at the end.

Yeah, didn't need to rant about this but I just felt I would share my thoughts on this matter. I really did enjoy Uncharted 4's story all the way through. Lots of people shit on it for being a climbing simulator or whatever, but **** em. The game delivered a wonderful experience.

Off the top of my head:

Half-Life

Half-Life 2

Super Metroid

Zelda: Wind Waker

Mafia

Thanks for making a new one bud.

exactly.

Forza Motorsport/Horizon.

1. Xenogears

2. Metal Gear Solid series

3. Mass Effect series

4. XenoSaga series

5. SOMA.

Honourable mention: Hellblade VR. Story isn't too intricate but it's an insanely emotional journey especially in VR when you are right there inches way from Senua.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Xenogears yet. Just a shame that the 2nd disc was rushed. The game needed to be part of a 6 part franchise, each game with it's own 100 hour story since it's so expansive.

LOL Lets give him a smidgen of a break here. Doom isn't on the list.
