Bioshock is what the 360 is clinging to in terms of story. GeoW could have been a great story if they would've maybe EXPLAINED a few things. Halo 3 better be good. And I smile when I think about Mass Effect. I really think that it will be a great story. Can you guys think of other games that dont have "good" stories, but great stories.

for the 360? I liked Kameo's story.

Best story ever? I'd have to say Final Fantasy 8 or God of War.

Oblivions was great at first, but I lost intresest later on.  Assassins creeds story looks cool. But yeah, Mass Effect FTW!

What I kind of mean is, not only are you playing the game for the gameplay itself, but also to see what happens in the story.

Hitman: Blood Money doesn't seem to have a strong story, but it has one of the best endings I've seen in some time.

If you haven't played it, F.E.A.R ahd a pretty grasping story to me. Also, I'm playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance now and like the story, has a few twist that keep you interested (I'm not finished with it yet). But, that's only if you like button mashing games like that. A first person shooter with a good story is Splinter Cell: DA

But are there any games currently out where you're playing through it just to see what happens and not even really the gameplay? Thats why I played KH and KH2.

Games with a great story on 360... Wow thats hard. The only game with a great story is Bioshock. I honestly cant think of anything else. Almost all games have very predictable plot-lines without much in the way of any development.

If you think GeOW has a great story, you really should learn how to read. Its story is just passable in order to carry the fun gameplay.

Oblivion was a good story but not great..

Mass Effect may, but if there is another annoying character that you have to accept to your party like in all Bioware games I will be pissed.

Honestly I think if Bioshock does really well financially we will see more games being drawn from great literature or at least ideas that can be carried over.

Yeah, that's why I played SC: DA. It was sweet. Have you tried it yet? To me, it was worth it to see the end.

But, you're right, nothing else out the comes to mind that it recent. Prey was up there for me, but you may have already played that.

The Darkness has an awesome story, too bad the gameplay is just barely above average. Worth a rental just for the story though. Drop the difficulty to easy and you could finish it over a weekend even with limited playing time.

In the history of gaming how many truely Great stories have there been, not just for xbox?


Bioshock, Planescape Torment, Fallout 1, I honestly cant come up with any other great ones. Lots of good ones but not great.

Id give Baldurs Gate 2 a nod but it wasnt great it was still a standard story.

Actually now that i think about it. This isnt far off. I mean Bioshock is far superior in everyway but honestly there are no games for 360 that are good story wise. At least that i have played. So ya i guess Dead rising could have the best story so far for 360 if you dont count Bioshock.

My Apologies

Well I THINK KH should come to Xbox (which it wont but I wish) but KOTOR is Xbox. Yeah see there is nothing really. Honestly Bioshock's story isn't impressing me right now.

The Darkness does have a pretty intriguing story. Probably one of the best endings I've seen in a videogame, it was nice to go from all kinds of madcap out of control violence and have the game end with a touching moment of emotion with a touch of "Vanilla Sky". But then again, I though the Halo 2 and Angel Series Finale endings were absolute genius. So what do I know?

You will start to be impressed with bioshock when you get to fort frolic. If you are seeking out the peices of the story things start to get interesting at that point and continue to escalate.

hmm....well i think ETERNAL SONATA seem to have a pretty interesting story

i guess your into J-RPGs so i would recommed ETERNAL SONATA(coming out on september),Lost Odyssey(later this year but dunno when :p ) and im not sure but you MIGHT like Blue Dragon.

i think you REALLY should try The Darkness,i liked the same games you mentioned that you like (KH,Bioshock) n i REALLY liked THE DARKNESS so at least download the demo ! :p

im also pretty sure ASSASSIN'S CREED will have a good story,its coming out on november i think

so yeh my list would be :

-The Darkness (released)

-Blue Dragon (28/8 )

-Eternal Sonata (17/9)

-Assassin's Creed (11)

-Lost Odyssey (they said this year but didnt say exactly when :p )

Condemned and Bioshock

Games with good deep stories are hard to find these days, but games that make me go "Oh f**k!!" at any pivetol moment in the story I consider to be a "Great story".

Hitman: Blood Money actually does have a very good story and like a lot have people have said, an amazing ending. Worth a look.

Off the top of my head it's hard to think of more though..

KOTOR and Oblivion are the only rpgs I've ever liked. (and even then, oblivion I didnt like it that much)
