What game do you think has the most epic single player campaign?

EXCLUDING GAMES MADE BY BIOWARE! That means we are excluding Mass Effect 1+2 and Dragon Age. Sorry, but I just feel like this would be hands down winners. For me, excluding those games, it would have to be Gears of War 2. Such a great game.

Gears 2 had some plotholes and the ending was anti-climatic so no its not the most epic game. This is a tough question, COD 4 is by far the most epic. I have never been into a game more than COD 4 's ending, crazy sh*t man.

Halo, 'cause it has good music.

Lost Odyssey has some awesome battles. But, my vote would have been a few bioware games.

Fallout 3

Fallout 3

god of war 3

Timesplitters future perfect & Timesplitters 2...good lord do i miss these games. D:

current gen RPG wise: Tales of Vesperia

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

god of war 3

You're so lucky

I just kinda assumed since this was the 360 forum, we were talking about 360 titles. Since we apparently aren't, I'm changing my vote to:

Torment

Mass Effect 2. What a great game and definitely GOTY so far, for this year.XXGamerfanXX

In the first post the thread creator mentioned that we should pick games NOT made by BioWare, haha.

Tales of Vesperia and Fallout 3. Those would have been my choices even if Bioware games were allowed.

360 title would be COD4 probably. I enjoyed the first Halo. In fact I have just bought a used copy to play again. :D

But I do have fond memories of Metal Gear Solid on the PS1.

Gears of Wars 2 was just plain awesome. It's a tie between Halo 3 and GeoW2. That's only because you won't let me choose ME2! As you can tell, I'm only stating Xbox 360 exclusive games, not PS3. If I had to choose OVERALL, it would be God of War 3.

Edit: I really have to mention LOST ODYSSEY as well. Epic JRPG game. One of the best I've ever played, hands down.

Halo 3, followed closely by Batman Arkham Asylum.

Story-wise, I'd have to go for the Assassin's Creed series. The storytelling is simply awesome so far, and I can't wait for the 3rd game.

God of War, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Bioshock

Thats all i can think of right now if we are excluding bioware.

Most Good RPGs have a nice long epic single player "Campaign"

Games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, or Lost Odyssey

cant believe no one has mentioned bioshock yet!!! that or assassins creed or oblivion (love the settings of both games)chaoscougar1

GOW2 and MW2.

why arent there more ME1 and ME2's?

none of these mentioned are on a galactic scale the ME series is

For xbox360 i would say Bioshock. Other systems basically every final fantasy.

I really like the campaign in the first Battlefield Bad Company because it introduced me to the greatest Squad on the planet. I love those guys :)

I also really enjoyed Halo 3:ODST. I don't care what all the haters say."Firefly" CastVoice Overs = Epic Win!!

Tales of Vesperia/Lost Odyssey but I haven't played FF13 yet so that might be my favorite. I have played all of the JRPGs on the Xbox 360 besides two and Lost Odyssey/Tales of Vesperia have been my favorite.

Batman: Arkham Asylam and Fallout 3

Batman: Arkham Asylam and Fallout 3

chefstubbies

Mass effect & God of war seriesAnti-Venom

Mass Effect 2 & Demon's Souls

Although it could be argued that in DS there is some multiplayer elements involved, so far it is just one of my favourite games of the moment for single player hardcore experience

Well I'm going to say Mass Effect 2. That game has such a great story (Can't exclude games!). Halo 3, Fallout 3, Assassins Creed 2 and Dead Space are also up there.

[QUOTE="chefstubbies"]

Batman: Arkham Asylam and Fallout 3

Essian

Halo CE.

Mass Effect 1 and 2

But if you exclude BioWare games, it'll probably be... ummm... err... GTA San Andreas...

Bioshock - can't believe this hasn't been mentioned more...

although it depends what you mean by 'epic' - weather it be length of time or scope of the story or the scale of the game.....

I would also mention Lost Odyssey, GoW 2 and AC 2
