In the words of Charlie Brooker the whole story is "that ***** took my skull"the spud said:Ever heard of 50 cent, blood on the sand?
It gets pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, I think a more constructive question to ask would be 'What is the worst story in a game that pretends like it actually has a good story?' Sure, stuff like THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY NINJAS isn't stellar, but it's more of a framing device than a story. When the story is crap and then the game stops to rub that crap on your face (wow, I think I just won some sort of metaphor award) then it gets aggravating.Raskolnikov34 said:Most game stories are generally shit though, so a better question would be to ask about the good stories.
There was not retconning. There were even references made to the first Galaxy games.Dapz said:Galaxy 2. I enjoyed how the first game had more story than usual, but the ending was a bit WTF! When I saw they were making a sequel, I thought that ther excuse for making their sequel even less different from its predecessor than Mario games usually are would be that they were going to explain and continue from that ending. Instead, the first game was completely retconned, the game seemed to assume you hadn't played the first game (or hope so at least) and at no point did anyone acknowledge that something suspiciously similar had happened about 2 1/2 years ago.

Personally, I'll cast a blanket vote for any game that has a twist ending that either a) comes out of nowhere just to fuck with you or b) is telegraphed so hard that it would be a much better twist if it didn't happen.
