Ecco the dolphin! The hints of a storyline is enought to drive you insane if you try to take it seriously.

OH also resident evil... the story line basically always is, ZOMBIES HAVE INVADED!! now all you have to do is survive, make it to safety and find out who fucked up lmao.

another story line that was interesting but was one you had to maybe do some research was parasite eve. god i love that game.

chrono cross storyline died for me when i got to the dragons, then it lost all meaning of reason and sense.

Most JRPGS are just to confusing for me to follow. I also seem to have a problem with both MGS and Warcraft as well.

More than 20 nutters go to a field and kick a bag of wind about, thousands of peeople get worked up and chose a colour.
Baffling isn't it.

I'd have to say the original PlayStation Final Fantasy Tactics. Yeah, blame the translation all you want, but that story didn't do very much. Good thing the gameplay was great.

Zelda?
What's there to know, they sum it up in the little opening screen if the game isn't started,
Your green tunic guy off to save princess Z from bad guy X.

Want confusing, Try the back story of Lemmings.....

Elite Beat Agents. While a really fun game I don't get it. How does cheering and dancing and singing make a movie better? Or help a dog get home? And how did that dog call for help in the first place? And how do they know you're calling for help at all times? And...*shuts down from too many unanswered questions"

FFVIII. Contrary to popular belief, it does make sense, it just requires a lot of mental piecing together. Yes, even the infamous orphanage scene.
Coming from someone who's beaten FFVII before, what infamous orphanage scene? I understood the story perfectly, I just didn't think that it was all that great.

OP: I really don't get confused by the stories in games, I guess I could say FFXII since I never finished it.

Whoops, my mistake. :p

I couldn't take FF8, I tried to like it, but the stupid battle system and the unlikable characters drove me away.

Obviously MGS and Assassin's Creed
agreed with assassins creed.

I was like "wait so im in the future but i play in the past and im not an assassin im a *head explodes*"
MGS confused me more. Wait, Liquid's not dead but lives in the arm of Ocelot and he's not really the bad guy but everyone was really just trying to stop the patriots and Big boss is actually still alive and...er...eh...aaaaggghhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Final Fantasy all the games are seperate storie although they are still considerd a series
Many games are like that - take TES, for example.

Anyway, probably SSBB's Subspace Emissary - so that guy joins with that guy, and that guy kills that guy, and - why are we fighting this Galleom dude again?
TES series have a universal combining story line set in the same world around the same era unlike the FF series

Dark Sector. They actually forgot to include explanations of several key plot points [Hayden's condition, his relationship with Nadia, etc]. Apparently because everyone they had test-read the script knew the plot so well they forgot people who didn't wouldn't be able to fill in the blanks.

FF8 was just a mess of a storyline. It was all going alright until they whisked in a bit of time travel. Oh and the spaceship that appears out of frickin no where.

All of Shadow of Memories endings, especially ending D... I think it's D anyway. In which
you are the alchemist guy, just eternally youthful.

Oh and Kingdom Hearts 2.

This is a hard one. I don't usually have any trouble following narrative, even convoluted and confusing ones (in my line of work, it would suck if I did), but then some games are just bad storywise.

N3 is probably the best example of this for me. Each individual story makes sense, but all of them contradict each other, and you never get any answer as to which story is canon. They don't build on each other, so you end up in situations where it's like, "Wait, am I in the future, or am I playing through the same campaign with a different character?" When that happens, you know that's a damn confusing story.
