The best storyline games ever.

Good call, this would be my main recommendation.BlindTom said:
Although i get the feeling that you are thinking of the longest journey, rather then dreamfall, which was the sequel.
Other then that:
KotOR 1 and 2
Mass Effect
Call Of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of The Earth
Half Life 2 and Episodes
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shawdow Of Chernobyl - The story can be a bit confusing, but once i got past the first hour or so of gameplay, it turned into one of the most interesting and atmospheric games i have ever played.
Persona 3 and 4, without question.
3 is a story about escapism and accepting ones' self, set in the background of a regular high school, with regular high school life and problems intermixed with dungeon crawling.
4 is a murder mystery that becomes surprisingly deep about midway through the game.

Mass Effect for a LOT of reasons:
1. The story kicks ass.
2. You can care about the characters, especially Shepard and Anderson.
3. In ME2, you port the Shepard you had so you can continue YOUR story.
4. Wrex is a thug.
5. It's FUN.
Other than ME1, though, I'd say GTA IV or KotOR. But for fuck's sake, if you haven't played ME1, buy that. It's only $30 on Games on Demand, and it's only about $10 if you find a nice local place (like I did).

It would be interesting if this site dispayed age and console just so i could make some sence of the answers here, its as if most people have lved in a box there whole life.
Sure there are some people squeaking out some interesting storyline but damn!

I'm just going to spout this out because I KNOW that no one else will. Scratches is a great game with a great story, that actually very much like Myst. The game is terrifying, because it doesn't actually try to scary at all. It messes with your head and always make you THINK that something is there, and it never is, which really only makes things worse. It's an older computer game and it may be hard to find, but it it will defiantly be a good buy.
Best storyline in any game? Planescape: Torment comes immediately to mind, but that's a bit dry. Anachronox has some of the most fantastic writing I've ever seen in a game, but it's hard to find. Baldur's Gate 2 is very good, but definitely shows its age these days. Someone suggested Dues Ex, which is a very good choice, and available over Steam. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 are pretty exceptional if you like Star Wars. 2 is considerably more experimental than the rather conventional (but still excellent) 1, and people are torn as to whether it works or not.
The freeware games Yahtzee has made have great story, and the Chzo Mythos (5 days a stranger, 7 days a skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 days a sacrifice) got me into the point-and click genre. You can find the Chzo Mythos, as well as his adventure platformer 1213, here-

He also has others on his site, but these are the ones I've played through and can recommend greatly, just make sure you play through the Chzo Mythos in the right order.
EDIT: if you noticed the word donate in the link, ignore it. He used to take donations for special editions, but no longer needs the money.

3 letters and a word are only needed for this: mgs series or assasins creed it has an "intresting"story to it
Final Fantasy VIII (I doubt you haven't played it).hobo_fred said:
Mass Effect
The Metal Gear Series, Assassin's Creed, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, System Shock 2, Lostplanet, Vampires the masquerade: Bloodlines, Beyond good and Evil.
the story is confusing though, and if you miss the third star by solving the puzzle, then you're screwed.Foggy_Fishburne said:
