There are plots or stories of games which are just lame: Which one do you think is the worst story in a videogame?:

My vote right now goes to..Commaner Keen (an 80's game) in which you must get several things to repair your ship to get back to earth.. YOu needed a tv antenna, car batteries, a blender... WTF???

Lost Planet and Gears of War have pretty terrible plots.

onimusha 3 and 4, resident evil 4, devil may cry 3

capcom butchered what i liked most about those franchises. The stories in onimusha and devil may cry weren't worthy of awards before, but they were passable and weren't so annoyingly ridiculous as those lame sequels.

I always thought the story for Hitman was crap because theytried to make him a sympathetic character when he really isn't at all. It rang really hollow.

Perfect Dark Zero. You're infiltrating a Hong Kong night club to recover a kidnapped scientist. Oops, now you're in virtual reality fighting someone (why actually fight someone in a game when you can fight them in a game in a game?). And now you're in Egypt for some reason. Oh, the final boss! And... you're fighting some demi-god Chinese guy with a sword who can fly in an alternate dimension. Worst. Plot. EVER.

I think we need to classify it as to whether or not this includes all games or games where the story is central.  I mean, Street Fighter, Super Mario Brothers, and SOCOM don't have good stories, but they aren't important to the game.  The worst story in a story based game?  Quest 64.

Put me down for Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I seriously don't want to help that prince, at least from what little I could follow from the horrible "cutscenes" if they're worth calling that.

Have to agree, story was definitely not one of Rare's top priorities when making that game.

Now before I say anything, I love the MGS series...

But Sons of Liberty had the most incoherent plot I have ever experienced. I seriously remember running around naked as Raiden for ever, with no where to go. While people kept radioing in and saying the WEIRDEST most random crap, and then out of no where, after I was lectured by every who could contact me, a door opened out of no where and I could finally andvance.

I ran around naked for over an hour.

And if I EVER hear la li lu le lo again. im going to shoot someone.

I agree. Total letdown after PD's. PD had a really cool plot (especially if your read the in-depth explanation on the PCs found in Carrington Institute).

Mario Sunshine had a horrible plot also, but it was pretty fun.

Yes and no. The tutorial mission is a VR simulation, but later when you infiltrate the DataDyne chiefs compound you fight his daughter, Mai Hem, in a virtual arena blood sport. So you're not fighting a character in a game, but your fighting a character in a game in a game. :| Not only was it stupid on a conceptual level, but the execution was stupid as well. The basis of the sport is you go in, you fight someone (virtually) to the death, and when their avatar dies, so do they. Except you fight and kill Mai Hem multiple times (including times when you fight about 20 of her at once), and even then at the end she doesn't die. Seriously, Rare. WTF.

Gears of War-> Horrible plot and short!!!

If the locus live underground why do they have eyes? And wouldn't those bat creatures be way to powerful? Naturaly they would eat everything, then just die off....

I loved that part of the game, where the virus starts affecting the colonel's behaviour. Absolutely awesome IMO. MGS2 is one of my favourite games ever. The plot may be a little over-ambitious and I can see why people think it's a mess, but it never bored me. MGS3 bored me to tears :-\
