Funny that I agree with alot of them, Kingdom Hearts, Legacy of Kain (kill me though that I've never been able to find the first one x.x;
, Final Fantasy IX was very good (so don't let anybody tell you otherwise), Final Fantasy XII was good in my opinion as well. My favorite was MediEvil, it was light and goofy for a plot, but it didn't flutter about with random plot twists and stayed on course throughout the game (though I'm saying the original, MediEvil Resurrection sort of pained me as they added some things I didn't like)

It depends of what your are looking for. Out of the games I had played:
Final Fantasy X has the best story (if maybe a little too cheesy at times).
God of War I has the best storytelling.
Bioshock and Braid had the best story twists.
MGS2 has the best story spaghetti.

But Bioshock is a horror game; or at least, has some seriously unsettling stages, like the Medical Pavilion. The game went from horror to action the more it advanced in the story. Not all horror has to be violent, that is the difference between Resident Evil and Silent Hill.MercurySteam said:
Hear me, Legacy of Kain people! I am savvy on the vampiric exploits! (I have played them all.) However...I didn't really like Soul Reaver 2. Story was fine, but game was crazy-hard.A.I. Sigma said:I sure hope so.chozo_hybrid said:
Anyway, I like a number of Final Fantasy stories (except 4 and 8), Shadow of the Colossus, and...to throw in a curve here...Shadow Madness.
The problem I have with the Halo Universe is that the story is actually better in all sorts of side items that the games itself. Yet the game is the center of the universe and the thing that started all. Because of that, if the game doesn't sell my that the universe is more than a 'shoot the aliens' starred by an overpowered killing machine (kind of like Duke Nukem, but in space), it is very unlikely that I will invest in reading all those novels, watching all those movies and buying all those comics to prove me wrong.Trivun said:
It's similar to a discusion I had with another person that claimed that the last Pirates of the Caribean story makes perfect sense because if you invest several hours reading extra side information in the site it all becames cristal clear. If a movie is the center of your universe, you better sell me the universe in the movie.
I like the story of the assassin's creed sires. Seriously, if you look into the glyphs in the second game, it can give the Davinci code a run for it's money when it come to working conspiracies into world history.
Really? I've played through the second Blood Omen, both Soul Reaver games, AND Defiance, yet to this day I can't understand what is it so special about them. To me, the Legacy of Kain series has always been the most overrated of the underrated, if that makes sense.A.I. Sigma said:
OT: Silent Hill 2, Bioshock, Knights of The Old Republic 1 and 2.
Soul Reaver, it had me in tears in the end. I have never been so moved by a storyline as this one where i wished it would have a 2nd ending, even if you have to jump thru some retardly impossible hoops to make it work.
Another simply overlooked storyline is the one that goes along with Starcraft and starcraft:broodwar. If you actually took the time to watch and enjoy all the bits of story its pretty solid, yes even the bits of storyline ingame.

Final Fantasy Tactics has one of the best stories I have ever seen in a game and its remake the war of the lions had translated it much better making it all the more epic! awesome game + epic story = WIN!
What's great about them is the uniqueness, the fantastic voice acting, the amazing dialogue, the complex and often deceitful storyline, and the depth of the characters. There are no shallow, obvious characters in LoK. There is no poor voice acting, no predictability, no bad lines, and no straight forward plot. There is nothing generic about the world it is set in or the path that it follows.AbundantRedundancy said:
The hereos are people I would not want securing my future, because they are selfish, vengeful, manipulative, and sometimes gullible, bastards, and I absolutely love them for it. They act like real people, not what hereos (or anti-hereos in this case) are stereotyped as. They all follow their own agenda, and yet at the same time, have their moments of surprising and yet realistic behaviour.
That is why I love LoK; not because of the gameplay, but because of the way it is written and the way it is presented.
Fair enough.A.I. Sigma said:
My initial reply was to your statement that people who haven't played the LoK series don't know what they're missing. Why I have played them, and I found the story in these games to be convoluted, the mythos uninteresting, and the voice acting, while good, to be otherwise hammy.
My point is that, to you, the series might be a masterpiece unlike no other, but that doesn't mean that everyone who'll play, say, Soul Reaver, will suddenly have an epiphany.
