until GTA IV I haven't liked GTA at all and as for unique stories I look at Bioshock, Kingdom Hearts (one of my favorite games of all time) and others that have done something unique I just want to see more companies take chances to me the one person who always takes risk and makes unbelievable games is Tim Schafer te problem is gamers today not all but alot don't appreciate creativity anymore they rather see more of the same story mixed with some new action concepts like Gears 2 although i won't judge right of way heard the game actually has a story.
Bioshock is one of my favorite games of all time also Canada rocks I hope to move their one day and as for a Japanese game in a real setting MGS is based in a real setting a future setting but a real setting
i played and beat GTA IV and i am going back in my head and you win i forgot about how they actually told Niko's back story as for the from rags to riches story it's been done so many times I guess I hope that when they do make anther GTA game that is based around Niko again because for me the biggest problem with the GTA series is once you start to understand a character a little bit they make you play as a different one to me that hurts GTA and its overall story
I have to completely disagree that may have been true 10 years ago but at the time being american developers are a bit ahead when it comes to good story telling. The Japanese with the exception of MGS have rehashing the same stories over and over whereas the american developers are finally coming into their own especially on the 360. games like mass effect GTA halflife and yes halo and gears have great stories. to me the japanese J-RPGs are becoming as played out as the WWII genre.the_animals
Mass Effect was made by Bioware is based in Canada and who the heck does Gears of War have a good story line if the story is kill or be killed or blood, yeah blood than yeah it has a fantastic story line and as for Halo the first one is awesome it had a story as for the second and third there was no story
a great story is one that makes you feel emotionaly attached to the characters makes you understand them and why they do what they do when you see your character hurt and when someone dies close to the character you should feel what the characters are feeling that is a great story if you don't it's not a great story. How many people who beat MGS4 or FFVII felt emotions like anger,sadness,and even happiness thats the way a good story should make you feel.
