Fallout 3 (even with Original ending) - Best
What ? It was an abomination. They managed to ruin the BoS (who wer already well written before they fucked it up) they made the enclave the usual nazis, who show no humanity. The water shoult be irradiet after 200 years, the people shouldnt have been traumatised from a war they never saw. There shouldnt have been giant robots throwing nukes like footballs. Wy did the enclave ignore the pentagon despite being there before the BoS ? Dad was an idiot, he killed himself and you for no reason "run". You cant tell him its his fault you got kicked out of the vault. Writing in fallout 3 was terrible.
Bioshock.
RDR
Halo 1,2 and 3.
Halo reach.
I disagree with anyone saying about mas effect. But I cant be bothered to go into it. On rant is enough for now.
Fix these fucking captures
********************SPOILER FROM FALLOUT 3 WARNING IN THIS POST*****************
"People shouldn't have been traumatized from a war they never saw?" I suppose we should be bothered about World War II, considering we weren't around to see it then? Carol the ghouls account of the day the bombs fell was one of the best stories in the game, and let us understand the sheer destruction that occurred. DC is the capital of the US, so of course it's going to be the most heavily damaged setting of Fallout series.
I'll admit that the death of Dad was done badly and could have been handled well, but it's up to player interpretation to think what they will of James. When he wanted to run straight to Rivet City after all the work i'd done trying to find him i was pissed, but that's one of the many ways you can interpret James, he's not suppose to be the worlds greatest Dad, he's flawed just like everyone else.
The BOS are being the good guys and are suffering for it. The Outcasts serve as the reminder of what they are suppose to be doing. They are not powerful, they struggle to even function and at the beginning have no regard for the player. They change with the actions of the player, showing development. Yes, they are quite different from other incarnations but you can't expect them to remain the same each game.
The original ending is more left to player interpretation again and i understand why others do actually get annoyed, not only does it not allow you to keep playing but can be argued as stopping the player from getting closure. But in a round about type of way RDR did the same thing but only allowed you to keep playing, and it's still an amazing piece of video game narrative.
The ending serves to (in the event of a good ending) show the level of sacrifice an innocent soul must make in the pursuit of this moral good. To emerge from he vault in to an alien world with no probability of survival as a symbol of good in a barren land is suppose to be more meaningful.
I love in the beginning hwo you learn wht you don't fit in the to vault so well, seeing as the character is literally from two worlds and belonging to neither. the rejection after saving the vault is an amazingly cathartic experience in my opinion. We are given liberation at a price of exile form the only true home we have ever known. that's brilliant writing in my opinion.
For all it's flaws, i think Fallout 3 is an amazing game with a brilliant level of storytelling and narrative. One of the best stories i have ever played.
New Vegas did suck though. So let down after Fallout 3 by that game.
