What is the deepest game out there right now?

I would say Mass Effect but I haven't played it.

so I'll go with the Metal Gear Solid Series

Deepest meaning

It makes you say stuff like

"Damn that is some Deep **** right there"

Name some games with actual depth and a good story.

I guess Longest Journey: Dreamfall

That was some Deep **** right there.

please. baldur's gate runs laps around oblivionTeamR

For RECENT games, I say the Witcher ... I'm finding Mass Effect rather shallow sci fi for the most part so far.

Probably Endless Ocean, but Im not that far into the game so I dont know how deep you can go.Can-o-Mark

Lol nice.

Nothing has topped Metal Gear Solid yet. majadamus

tetris

j/k .. i'd go for MGS series

haven't played Mass Effect yet

Recently? The Witcher. It labours to avoid polarized concepts of good and evil and explores the ambiguity of morality.

As someone who just recently finished Mass Effect I think it comes a close second dealing with the issues of what it means to be human (or organic), but it just doesn't pull its core message off as well as the Witcher.

Of all time? Probably Baldur's Gate or Dreamfall. Metal Gear Solid is up there, but I think Kojima gets a little convoluted sometimes (the dialogue in MGS2 was baaaad at times) and that perhaps the stealth action genre isn't the most appropriate forum for a game trying to be post modernist.

MGS 2 was kind of odd, and I don't like Z.O.E because it's a mecha game so I never really got too engrossed in the story. MGS has everything. Humor, a long running storyline, and crazy characters with a lot of history behind them.

Metal Gear Solid 3,Final Fantasy X,Final Fantasy 7,and Legend of Zelda:Windwaker...Hitamaru-homia

ROFL,...........mmm yea all those games are so great and have a awsome story, having played zeldaOoT, and MGS3 and FF7, i can say that those 3 games turned my off most japaneese games. and the story wasnt to great compared to other games like, dreamfall, baldurs gate 1/2 and yes planescape torment

Probably Endless Ocean, but Im not that far into the game so I dont know how deep you can go.Can-o-Mark

Diablo II

In all seriousness I think Alpha Centauri is the deepest game ever. I mean with the collection of quotes and the datalinks it is incredibly in depth. And this is coming from a TBS.

You clearly beat MGS2 by quoting that segment from MGS2 :roll:

Oh wait, that segment happened during the middle of the game...

MGS has always had a Fantastic story lines. It was one of the Only Games back then (in the PS era) that made you feel like you were actually playing a Blockbuster movie.
