For this gen, Bioshock. My personal favorite is FFX, but I'm not about to say it's all that great from an objective standpoint. I played it at a time in my life when I was more inclined to react emotionally to the events in the game. Silent Hill 2 also has a touching story.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Final Fantasy VI.

Why? Have you played it? It was an incredible adventure that had you against possibly the greatest video game antagonist ever. To me, non ever will even come close to Kefka.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Halo is a pretty deep universe.

I rather enjoy Halo's story.
I also like Mass EffectMs story, but I am not too knowlegable of it.

Mass Effect series for me. I still have all time marathon playthroughs through all the games.

  • 12.09.2012 10:22 PM PDT

From the games I have played. Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 1 and Deus Ex Human Revolution.

In recent history? Past 5-6 years? Definitely.

OT: Pacman because it's about escaping from a Jewish Concentration camp and I'm the only one who's realized so far.

My three favorite on-going story lines are probably the Halo franchise (heck, entire universe in general), Gears of War, and Mass Effect.

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

KOTOR - Just for dat plot twist.

The Halo universe (game-wise, Halo 4's story was my favorite. Sue me, haters).

Bioshock.

Spec Ops: The Line.

Amnesia.

Bastion.

Mass Effect 1-2 before 3 came out.

Age of Mythology.

Starcraft.

The Warcraft series, before WoW's WOTLK expansion came out.


Also, I've been meaning to get into the Warhammer universe for quite some time now. It seems impressive, from what I've heard of it...

How the holy hell has Planescape only just been mentioned this page? It is the most well written game ever made. You literally have to be underage or a casual gamer to not recognize this. Anyone who hasn't played it absolutely must, it's the pinnacle of video game storytelling, followed only by KOTOR 2.

Planescape Torment
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Baldur's Gate 2
Metal Gear franchise
Red Dead Redemption
System Shock 2
The Walking Dead

Mass Effect 3 had a great story.

The lack of respect for Spec Ops in this thread is ridiculous.
