Subject: What Game Had The Best Story ?

In My Honest opinion I would have to say Halo 3 ODST

Let me know tho! And Why!

up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down,up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up an...sorry.

I dont think I have a favorite from a single game, so I'd say Halo CE,2,3.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Agreed.

ODST's story was beautifully done, the premise itself (guy lost in city looking for squadmates) sounds extremely boring but that's just a small part of the bigger picture, and even that part was pulled off with finesse.

The structure of the story was superb, very much inspired by Divine Comedy and threw around a lot of biblical/classical references which were quite subtle.

Then you have the Audio Logs, one of the best things in the Halo series (IMO) is the story told from Sadie's POV. It's emotional at points with a great cast of characters, some pretty good humour, stunning art and sound design and an overall great story. The juxtaposition of the main story with the Audio Logs was good, especially when we learned what it all built up to.

I really wish that ODST had been the 3 year project and Bungie's final game. Whilst it certainly accomplished its purpose, there is so much more potential for it.

Halo 2, definitely.

  • 02.10.2012 10:09 AM PDT

None of the games have particularly great stories, but I think the best was Halo 2's, with ODST merely having the best storytelling.

Sure, the universe is great. The plots of the games are merely decent; good by FPS standards, but compared to RPGs like Mass Effect or Final Fantasy VII they're not much cop.

YOU WANT?!

Have you played any of them? I'm guessing not since you refer to the whole series as 'that story,' if you knew anything about the games you'd know that every iteration is set in an entirely new universe with new characters, themes and stories.

Yes, i did play it.
But i dont want to discuss it.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

ODST, by far.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Marathon had a good story.

I heard FF VII was incredible, but unfortunately, FF13 was my first FF game.

Kinda put me off the series a little... I think it should have been left to a movie for all the cutscenes it had. And I don't know if it's a JRPG thing, but it gave me the impression of a soap opera.

  • 02.10.2012 2:49 PM PDT

I was absolutely entranced by the sombre and tragic story of Halo: Reach. Sure, it lacked the minimalist and quirky storytelling of Halo 3: ODST, but its scope, scale and grandeur easily outmatched it.

  • 02.10.2012 2:52 PM PDT

If it doesn't have a warning label, it's not worth buying

In my opinion Halo 3: ODST had the best way of telling the story and the best setting, but Halo: Reach had the best story overall.

Also in Two Betrayals for Halo: Combat Evolved, in the section called "Final Run" the music and atmosphere is incredible and is in my opinion the best halo moment ever.
