Worst Story in a game Ever

[Pandabearparade]

Fallout 3. The main story was frustratingly bad, and it's made even worse because the problems would have been so easy to fix.

*sigh*

I think this is up there.

 

[DSK-]

Borderlands and the distinct lack of a general over-arching plot/story of Dragon Age 2.

Silent Hill 3, wich for me is a starting point of decline in the series. Before SH3 every Silent Hill game, was leaving player with loads of questions. Part of the fun was trying to answer them. Creating your own theories, etc. SH3 took that away by providing answers, about the first game. So it closed the door for many interesting theories. Also the story in SH3 revolves around basic revenge plot, and it isn't as innovative and complex as it's predecessors.
Also FF XII, known as Star Wars in JRPG setting. And FF X-2 known as JRPG in J-POP setting.

Assassin's Creed. I mean the series is good but ugh! Who cares!? I just want to run around on rooftops and kill people in cool places. Stop bringing me to the future and stop talking about pseudo gods that created the assassins and placed messages in the past or whatever. It's the only game I can think of in which the story gets in way of the gameplay.

This. The thread can be locked now.

It's like the developers sat down to make one of the coolest games ever, and someone from a rival company tried to sabotage the game by giving it the stupidest story he could think of while they were out eating lunch.

You're an assassin who gets to run wild through an open world in places ranging from the Holy Land during the Middle Ages to Renaissance Italy. They could have kept the entire Templar-Assassin war, but instead they cheapened it by making you not the badass assassin but some guy in the present day. I'm playing a guy in a video game playing another guy in a video game. Then they threw aliens into the game. Seriously, the story is the worst part of that game, and, while it's not bad, it's just so horrible in comparison to the rest.

Dragon Age 2: The ending to be precise, I was actually enjoying it up until then. I'm not going to spoil it but I believe people who played till the end will know what I'm talking about when say worst thing you could possibly do, you idiot.

Spoiler

I can understand why he did it, though. It may have been... extreme, and it may have been a bad idea, but that doesn't mean that the game itself is bad. I suppose it just means that Anders is a jackass (stating the obvious).

Fallout 3. Apparently people somehow do not know how to purify irradiated water by filtering it through sand or dirt (both of which are in no short supply in the wastes), and somehow the bloody Potomac river is still radioactive even after 200 years of natural filtering, so therefore your Revelation 21:6 obsessed father will abandon you as a teenager, endangering your life, in order to hand out free drinks for people so stupid that they are unable to farm, dress up as superheroes, make Underground Railroad-esque associations for fucking androids, and are too weak to kill level 5 supermutants. Oh, and the ending was retarded. Didn't know that my radiation-proof friends would all be dicks.

I'm surprised that on one has mention Metroid: Other M yet, or I believe that's something that everyone would rather forget.

In all honesty, God of War's plotline is pretty bad as well. The first game was reasonable, then after that, the gods betray Kratos and the rest of the series from there on out is about him killing every god in which he periodically bitches and moans about how he killed his family and that there is no going back... *Droll*..

Not to mention the ending to the third installment. I was expecting a conclusion, but I got a shitty reason to create a cliffhanger so they can further milk the series. I don't know if I want God of War 4 at this point.

Plants vs. zombies, Zombies invade your house protect it with plants
<spoiler=Spoiler>Then you make a music video
Not that Plants versus Zombies wasn't AWESOME!

This I exactly why I got AC2 without getting AC1 and why I'm getting AC Revelations without having played AC Brotherhood. I just don't care about the story at all.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

For me worst story has to be a game that tried or at least I think tried making a story. So Borderlands, Just Cause, Ninja Gaiden, and Mario games are out. Now that those are outta the way I gotta say Red faction Gorilla, Fracture, Call of Duty MW2. Those games are terrible stories but all were fun (all but Fracture, damn game still own me achievements for beating on hard)

I have to disagee with you both, I really enjoy the story in the AC series. The fact there are many different storylines that interlink really helps my enjoy the games.

Now O.T, any Mario game, seriously the guy hasn't had a good screen writer in 30 years!

Earth Defense Force 2017
I don't think the story went beyond "Oh shit! Aliens invaded! And for some reason they look like bugs from Earth.(ten minutes later) Oh shit again! Now these bug aliens have somehow built giant walkers and gianter space ships! I hope that some nameless soldier steps up and saves us all!"

 

[PAGEToap44]

When I think about it, probably Duke Nukem.

In a nutshell: Aliens took hot chicks, kill aliens.

Ninja'd on the very first post. I cannot wait to get a refund for this game tomorrow.

 

[Henkie36]

Resident Evil. If you watch the movies, then play the old games, you'd probably think the story in the movie wass slightly better then all of the Harry Potter books, Dan Brown novels and Citizen Kane put together.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I found the Halo story to be tired and boring, but then again, i read a lot of sci fy and history, so I wasnt exactly shocked when the idea of enslavement and conquering the galaxy came up.

 

[Kadoodle]

Ummmm...Just Cause 2 anyone?

 

[Jegsimmons]

mind jack
last 2 CODs
final fantasy 8-the rest of them

 

[Jegsimmons]

Call of duty modern warfare. all of them

COLD WAR FANTASIST WANK GAMES!

i'll give you COD, but your confuseing story with more what can be described as NICHE, the stories in bad co. one and two were damn entertaining.
and you dont fight in the cold war in BF3. its in the mid east.

Well Master Blaster has a Storyline so insanely bad it's awesome
Kid has a pet frog who escapes and runs into his backyard and jumps into a vat of nuclear waste (that I guess happened to be in his backyard). the frog mutates and runs into the sewers, when the kid chases it he finds a tank (in the sewer I guess) so the rest of the game is trying to hunt down your pet frog.

actually, that's only on the USA version, the Japanese one was about a war on an alien planet, and the main character is some sort of special soldier

maybe you already knew this, but eh, I'm an opinionated jackass ^-^

now, OT, I don't really have a choice, unless it has a good story, I don't really care or notice
