well, Doom had at least a situation, if not a story: Hell's gate is open and pointed in your direction, so go and fuck some shit up.
and as for having no story: original Metroid.

It's funny how the thread's title says "NO STORY whatsoever", with caps lock trying to bring out the words "no story" and then "whatsoever", meaning it mustn't have any story at all, not even nonsensical to you or just a simple storyline.
Also, nonsensical and/or too hard to follow for you =/= no story.
Only games that don't have any story are multiplayer-only games and minigame collections, but not even all of those.
Tetris would be probably the best, most popular and well-known and legendary game to not have any storyline at all.

Left 4 Dead is extremely brief when it comes to mentioning actual plot details. Hopefully that will change when the sequel comes out this November.
Actually, I think the game developers said that the player is supposed to fill in the blanks himself.Trendkill6 said:
We don't know who the girl in the white dress is or what kind of relationship she have to wander.
They also said that they put some effort into not making it clear whether the colossi where organic or mechanical, so you'd get to decide that on your own.
Though I suppose how smart this whole setup is is up to debate.
Halo 3. maybe it would have helped if I played the first two, or maybe the plot was just so bad my mind edited it out.
i think serious sam doesn't have a story, or i was too i don't know to see the story, for me it was SHOOT EVERYWHERE AND PICK UP THAT BOMB THINGY, also i saw someone mentioned that Half-Life doesn't have a story, HALF LIFE has the best story EVER, BEST, you probably never played it OR do not understand WHAT IS GOING ON, HL has best story, SS has story for...hmm
Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I don't know about the first one, but the second one was impossible to follow. I know that there's supposed to be this rich plot, but it's really lost in the 'hey look terrorists let's shoot 'im' aspect. I went through the whole game with no idea what the terrorists were fighting for. But I killed them anyways. Freakin' terrorists...
O RLY?! Yes it doesn't have much in the way of a story (other than you advancing through the levels of quests), but on the plus side, it does have an effectively indefinite replay value.daegranos said:

Counter Strike Source and Counter Strike 1.6. Condition Zero had a story which was ok.
In the HL series it's actually the first one that LACKS in story. Think of it actually. Did you once had a story to follow? Or was it just running to one place and listen to one scientist ramble a bit about something.
HL2 and first HL expansions where the ones that built up the story which was a good thing.
Its already been said (and poorly argued against) but MMOs have a story. You just have to read. If you have some kind of aversion to reading then I can understand how one could come to the idea that they have no plot.
Admittedly there's a lot of quests that have nothing to do with anything, but a lot of inconspicuous ones are actually part of a quest line that build onto the larger plot. It happens all the time in WoW. In Final Fantasy XI there was a whole line of quests called 'Missions' that actually took you through cutscenes.
Also... the plot of WoW:
Horde VS Alliance. Internal and external power struggles, which you take a part in several times. The Royal Apothecary is constantly trying to create new plagues. Cairne is constantly being told he isn't the right choice to lead the Tauren. The Dranei are trying to acclimate to the world while snuffing out any remains of the Burning Legion. Gnomes try to reclaim their homeland. The list goes on for every race and every class.
Every dungeon that matters has a whole slew of quests that tell you about X threat and Y reason. Sometimes you can't even just hit 'Accept Quest' and be on your merry way, the game forces you to wait and watch events unfold before it spawns the requisite objective.

Yeah. I'm not sure which version I've linked to, but the exact same song (lyrics learnt by a much younger me, by heart) is the final track on worms 1 if you play it as a music cd, or in hte music test in the game menu. Ah, how I miss windows 95, and my gigantic 1.2GB hard drive, and my uber boss 256mb RAM. Those were the days.AboveUp said:
