None of the games have particularly great stories, but I think the best was Halo 2's, with ODST merely having the best storytelling.
Wha ?!?
Maybe i dont understand but....
Are you talking about story-telling or the plot ?
Because the whole halo universe story is just wonderful !
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?!
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.
XIII is definitely a fantasy soap-opera of sorts, but I loved it to bits. I'm one of those odd sorts who doesn't mind cutscenes no matter how many hours they span, so that might be why.
Alas, XIII-2 from what I've played so far focuses more on gameplay and the story and gameplay suffers.
VII is an ideal blend of both gameplay and story, and objectively speaking is probably the best Final Fantasy. You shouldn't let XIII put you off the series because the two games were directed and written by completely different people and made by quite different teams.
Speaking subjectively however, XIII beats them all for me and I've played a fair few of them.
