Which game has the best plot? NOT based on game play, because we all know Halo would win. Now I do have to say Halo's plot was VERY good. I bet no one here expected the flood. It is definitely one of the best plots, easily in the top 3 or 4 but I wouldn't say the plot is the best. Remember, not based on game play. And if you are going to comment on a plot, please warn the reader if there will be any spoilers because imagine how pissed you would be to have the plot of a great game you are in the middle of ruined. I'll comment below.

Warning: Spoilers for Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Prince of Persia and Star Wars: Knights of the Old republic below.

Yes, I bet we all know the end of Halo but I put it in the warning anyway. Well Halo definitely had a big plot twist, being the flood. And just the whole concept of Spartan II's, Halo is the only video game that I read the books unless you count games that were movies (i.e.: lord of the rings, star wars etc.) Great Plot. But not the best.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty/Substance. I actually played this before playing MGS 1. So at first the plot didn't mean as much to me but going back through and playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, this plot is easily top 3. Yes, Raiden was a little... -blam!-, and the president had to feel to see if he had balls (wtf?!?) and otacon killed his father to sleep with his step mom (Ok so this plot was very weird) but the whole idea of the patriots. Just think about it, how would we know? Of course I don't honestly think it is true but it is something to think about.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Best Game Plot of all time. My 2nd favorite game to Halo, and the only game worth playing on the gamecube that is only for gamecube. Why get a gamecube to play SC2 when you could play it on the xbox or star wars clone wars, etc. Well anyway no one expected any of that. Between Fox Die, Grey Fox (Kick @ss cut scenes in that game, by the way) Master Miller being liquid, choosing whether Meryl lives or dies. GREATEST story line.

I just finished Prince of Persia. The story was interesting and original, with the dagger, the sand people etc. Just controlling time is a cool idea for a plot.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, or KOTOR. Great RPG, great star wars game. The whole idea of the star forge, being good or evil, your characters individual stories, you being Revan. My favorite of all Star Wars games and my favorite of all RPGs.

I would have to say KOTOR has the 2nd greatest plot to MGS:TTS.

I was on the xbox KOTOR forums a while back, when it first released. People were talking about how it was possible to have your character make out with Bastila and people who did were bragging *cough no life cough* Well I didn't think it was possible, then she fell in love with me. But wtf they blacked out during the make out scene! I wanted to see some action! :P

Also while on those forums someone told me they saw Bastila's but. I didn't believe them. They said how, and I followed instructions. If you put light jedi robes on bastila, and take off her clothes, she is wearing a bra and panties (this excited waaaayyyy too many people) Then if you put sith robes (those bad jedi) one her and took them off, she was wearing like an under shirt/pants with a hole in the back that you could see the top of her booty. I cried when I realized people had nothing better to do than take off video game character's clothes.

Oh my god! You forgot Marathon! Sacrelige!
Seriously, Marathon has THE greatest, most complex and engaging plot I have ever seen. Not to mention it introduced Durandal, possibly the greatest character ever, and you never even see him! (he is an AI)
Cmon, give Marathon some props.

EDIT: This IS a Bungie site, after all.

The story in Halo: the game is good, but not as good as Halo: the series.

I played marathon once for like 2 minutes before I even knew what Bungie was. I am sure I would appreciate it more now but I was afraid of FPS's in that stage of my life :P I am sorry. I should be castrated with a rusty, blunt knife for this.

When I first played Halo my brother said "Oh, its made by the same company that makes marathon." I said "Oh, that game you played on the computer that I used to be afraid of?" "Yep, that's the one" :P Sorry

You should be. ;)

EDIT: As a matter of fact, Im currently playing through the entire Marathon series again (on total carnage). Right now I have just finished Bob-B-Q. Wish me luck!

Hrrm.. Most of Bungie's stories are very well balance and VERY well thought out, unlike some. But I'd have to say that Myth probably had one of the best storylines I've come across, until the Halo series.

halo by far, that is one of the things that makes it such a game, instead of just having to go around killing with no objective but to get to the end of the level, you have to do everything for a purpose.

Obbi, did you play the first MGS? MGS2 had an amazing plot, but MGS's was better. Twin snakes rocked.

Man if I ever make another poll remind me not to put in any Halo related answers. Forgot this is a Halo forum :P (Well, Bungie forum)

you should put this in a place other than a Halo posting site. put it on something where multiple types of gamers go for a more accurate poll. We all know it's gonna be like 90% for Halo since this is bungie.net
