Deepest Game You've Played (no pun intended)

x3: tc

thats one heavy game right there

Don't flame me for this, but I really loved the ending of inFamous.

Spoiler

After defeating the antagonist, you find out he's you from the future, sent back in time to help - not kill - you by killing your girlfriend (his own future wife and love) to make you strong enough to fight another evil enemy from the future. So the enemy of the game basically sacrifices his own love and the perfect world of his past self to prepare him. Okay, it makes more sense in-game, but it is sort of deep.

I'm currently blazing through Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy). That's a pretty damn deep game.

 

[The Hairminator]

The halo trilogy's story is pretty damn huge, if you really dig into it.

EDIT: not sure that's what's asked for though.

Any Fallout. The universe is just so epic, it does post apocalyptic future the RIGHT way.

I think that's quite a retarded plot. So glad i had no interest in either that or Prototype.

counterstrike

Half Life 2. Great story in my eyes. But to others not so much.

Good for you!

I liked Tales of Symphonia personally

 

[gunningyoudown]

that all the way

Like many others have said, Bioshock as far as story goes.

Gameplay-wise, I guess COD4 online. There is alot of choices you can make that affect how you play...Or maybe I'm just shallow.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Deus Ex. It's just such a deep world that gets deeper the more you play. It has an incredible build-up as well. It starts with a terrorist attack, then builds to a tale of international intrigue, and then goes further to bring in shadow organizations and rogue A.I.'s. So well done.

Thief also has a deep world. It's the type of world that deserves books and movies. The different religions, factions, gods, and creatures all wrapped-up in a Steam-Punk environment.

A final "deep" game I'll throw out there is a little different:

Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. So many characters, moves, challenges, clothes, etc. For a fighting game it was huge and awesome.

I liked Deus ex, but for some reason (I know i'll get flamed for this...) I enjoyed Deus Ex: Invisible War more.

 

[Yeager942]

Gameplay= Team Fortress 2

Story= Fallout, Mass Effect, and Bioshock. I know everyone is saying it, but....damn.

 

[Nozer]

I'm gonna have to go with The Path. It's gotta be the deepest phsycological game out there. ARMA 2 is damn good an all. Makes you feel you really are in the middle of a war.

Also: Bioshock was not deep, go back to playing with Lego and reading Ayn Rand, you plebs.

id have to agree and disagree there. while bioshock DOES have one of the most philosophical stories ever told in a game (if not THE most), its unfortuanetly painfully obvious to see where it gets its inspiration from if you know anything about utopian and distopian literature of the early half of the 20th century. that being said, the rest of the game was rather shallow, espically the gameplay which was sub-par compared to other fps/rpgs, even system shock 2.

that being said, a lot of different games for a lot of different reasons. first is deus ex, and if youve EVER played it youll know why. but other than that games like starcraft and diablo, battlefield 2 (under the right circumstances), half-life 1 and 2, fallout 1 and 2 are some that are quite "deep" in one way or another.
