Dark Sector for games that attempt to have a story.

I can't decide between MW2 and Black Ops.

Every CoD has had an awful story. Borderlands was really bad too. Crysis 2 was a sorry excuse for a story. Sniper Ghost Warrior was laughably bad, and so was GTA4. DA2 was supposed to be bad, but I never bothered to play the whole thing.

i think zelda or mario once you hit the end we all know it's gannon or bowser.all CoD,dark sector.RE4-5

Well there are many games which have absolutely no story at all. Are they all tied for first place in bad story? Or does the prize go to the game which attempts to have a story but absolutely fails in every way imaginable?

Worst story in a game that actually attempted a story...I'd give it to Indigo Prophecy from what I've played. It went from interesting murder mystery to pants-on-head retarded festival of kung-fu and Tron aliens.

[QUOTE="jtm33"][QUOTE="blabbyboy"] No way Mw2. I thought the story in Mw2 is stronger than many other fps.blabbyboy

Well for one that tried, Half-life. The story-telling was awesome but the story was dull.Mr_Cumberdale

modern warfare 2, apparently theres characters in this series that people care about, i didn't even know mw1 and 2 had a connected story.

HL2 is the best story in an FPS game today. There are so many things involved it's insane. It's not finished yet though, so who knows what's in store for it.

why do people hate on MW2's story? its entertaining, it doesnt drag its feet, and it has some good voice actors (not all). it does its job. what are you expecting story-wise out of a game that is essentially the video game equivalent to a popcorn movie?

Metroid: Other M
So bad

[QUOTE="jtm33"] A bit unfair, see it in context. It was an FPS game released in 1998. It kinda was a big deal. I agree that it's story as it stands today is poor though.jtm33

I never said it has one of the best storylines. that was someone else.

and actually I think halo reach had one of the worst storylines of any big-name FPS this gen. especially if you compare it to the book. the characters of the spartans are completely dull and emotionless. there are countless plotholes, especially surrounding the circumstances of each character's death (ruining what little impact they could have had).

the thing that really gets me about halo reach is that it could have had a great story that fleshed out the halo universe and it just didnt. and also its "bad" in a boring way. which is the worst way for me. I can forgive a sloppy story in an FPS game as long as it at least attempts to entertain me.

In no particular order:

Final Fantasy XIII (the half hearted, atrocious story is actually a bigger sin than the linearity)

MW2 (I didn't mind the story in MW1, but this was just nonsensical, disjointed garbage)

MGS4 (most embarrassing dialogue ever written and the worst MGS plot by a mile)

Bayonetta (even though I loved the game)

Gears of War 2 (Dom crying after a wife we never learn anything about. The tunnels created by the Locust's best friend the giant worm. A deadly serious tone. Horrid...)

Dark Sector (simply awful)

How come everytime somebody makes a "worst of" thread, people almost never pick the actual worst ones? Have you guys heard of Borderlands? Hell, I'm sure there's even games out there that make Borderland's story look good.

Third post in.

The lack of star Ocean 4 in this thread disturbs me.

None of those are even close to being the worst.

That's not how I define worst. Worst would be a story that gets absolutely nothing right. Borderlands was the only game this gen I played where there was literally no saving grace to the story. Everything about it was god awful. GTA4, Gears 2, MGS4, MW2, and whatever other game most people mentioned, those stories did some things right, like for example, actually make a little bit of sense.

TC should have been more specific then if that's what he/she meant. When somebody asks me what's the worst, I think of the absolute, bottom of the garbage pile, WORST.

Crysis 1 and BC2 were really bad.
