Best game Storyline Ever.

[Plurralbles]

Duck Hunt. A demon-possessed dog who could only be appeased with ducks.

 

[QuickDEMOL1SHER]

Mass Effect is a definite second for with Halo taking #1, but ONLY with the books. Without them, it was pretty confusing and the Chief pretty bland. With them, it's amazing.

 

[cartzo]

"oddworld abes oddessy" and "oddworld abes exodus", they're just so origional and the plot goes so well with the game art, it's one of the most abstract games i've ever seen.

 

[AWAR]

Good question.I would go for Half LIfe 2, Stalker and fallout series.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

The entire main Metal Gear Solid storyline

MOST Bioware games.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I would have to nominate the Legend of Dragoon for this, although the Mass Effect series comes in a pretty close second.

 

[mobsterlobster]

Many people will probably disagree, but I really like the story in GTA San Andreas. Don't know why though, I just like it.

It's probably my favourite story in any GTA game, so I'm with you on that.

No-one's said Portal yet. I'm surprised.

 

[General Alexei]

Dante's Inferno
it may be based on the Divine Comedy, buts that fuckin original itself. name me a game where a crusader goes into hell with deaths scythe to recue his wife.
Can't think of one? That's what I thought.

 

[Kaisikudo]

I think I'm gonna go with the Legacy Of Kain series. I never played Defiance though.

I also LOVED the storyline to the Prince Of Persia games (with the possible exception of the third installment).

 

[Ataxia]

I would have to say Portal or Bioshock, I found Bioshock's to quote Yathzee "Masterfully written story" to have alot of unexpected twists and turns and the atmosphere really helped the mood and idea of an underwater utopia gone to hell in a handbasket. Portal is already a great game you have a laws of physics breaking portalgun, a supercomputer with awesome quotes and fun puzzles...Except the fans ruined some of the jokes for me D:.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

The Elder Scrolls series. The story is the evolving history of the continent, with deep political and social undercurrents, and it doesn't take that much poking around to find something interesting about the history of Nirn (the planet Tamriel is on).

My top five would also include the Bioware 3 (Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age), and Condemned: Criminal Origins.

 

[Adanos]

I would say The Longest Journey and Syberia.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Chrono Trigger, it just pulls you in and refuses to let go. Psychonauts is a close second.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

System Shock 1+2 (by extension Bioshock), Shadow of the Colossus and ICO, Metal Gear Solid series and Deus Ex (first one only). They are my top and are so high up there I can't pick just one...

Runner ups are Mass Effect, Kotor and Penumbra.

 

[SpireOfFire]

MGS3.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

I would say The Longest Journey and Syberia.

Ah, very good. The Longest Journey is by far the best Adventure game I've ever played, where you couldn't die. Using a guide for this game though was a must for me.

Syberia is also very good. I never beat it though.

 

[Dimbo_Sama]

Planescape Torment, Legacy of Kain, Half-Life ('really? why half-life?' because it's not the most original but it has such an enjoyable spin and is so well excecuted), Grim Fandango, Psychonauts.

God, add Little Big Adventure and Sonic to that and it's a list of my favorite games. lol

 

[Chaos Theory]

Starcraft Series, Bioshock and Metal gear series

 

[Ionflux]

Warcraft, Starcraft, Mass Effect series and DA:O for me.
