Which game has the WORST story

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Just Cause had a terrible story as well as voice acting. At least the game was hella fun to play.

 

[Kelethor]

Civilization.


Nuff said.

 

[Layzor]

Anyone that says the CoD games clearly has no idea about anything. "Capture the objectives" is all the story you'll ever need.

 

[Konaerix]

The FF series.

THERE IS NO STORY TO BEGIN WITH!!!

I love how I can win almost any kind of 'worst [blank] in a game' thread with one simple word.

Drakenguard.

If you understand, then you understand. If you don't, then consider yourself lucky. *shudder*

Oh Gawd. That.
It's almost as bad as Dirge, but there is one, and only one thing it has going for it:
The rotating/morphing storyline is actually a pretty cool and ambitious concept.
Now...the actual execution...oh...it hurts to even think about.

...Still not as much as Dirge of Cerberus though. That game started with no ambition and sunk to depths that NOBODY was expecting. It was literally like someone's incredibly terrible fanfiction was taken in as part of some contest and used as the plot to a B-list fan-exploitation game.

Wait, is that TWO Squeenix titles I'm comparing? Oh fuck me I feel depressed all of a sudden.

No, Drakengard is a Cavia title. Square Enix just published it.

And I heard the storyline was really good for Drakengard. I didn't play it all the way through, but if it's anything like NieR then it's pretty damn fantastic.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Sonic 06.

Twice as confusing as Inception while being as stupid as 10,000 BC and as badly written as the Power Rangers.

Guilty by association!
BURN!!! BURN IT ALL!!!

Any golf game. Because it's about, you know...GOLF.

I'm gonna get trolled by fanboys for this.
Gears of War 2. the plot makes sense for a while, but about halfway into it they begin throwing in half baked plot elements. it gave me the idea that the story was written by 5-6 different people, then the pages were scrambled together.
the reason I say this over another, worse game is that it wa good going in, but ruined itself in the middle, and the ending was a letdown, as another half baked plot element was introduced

Ohh I forgot about Gears of War 2, to me most of the plot was "What the hell is that?!" "what's going on!?" "Mariaaaa WAAAHHH!!"

"DAMMIT! I LOST HER AGAIN!"
Line of the year all years. I laughed so hard when he said that after plowing through some badass locust bad guys in the game, following that by plowing through some locust bad guys in the cutscene before being ambushed by RANDOM MELODRAMA.

 

[duchaked]

I'm tempted to say FFXIII but I didn't see it all the way through
couldn't take anymore of it... :/ I really did try to like it

 

[redisforever]

Serious Sam. Monsters attack, you kill monsters, some stupidity, more monsters, random levels in an order which makes no sense.
Still the most fun mindless shooter since Doom and Doom II.

 

[SonicKoala]

Bad Company 2 - On top of it being incredibly dull and unengaging, but I was incredibly disappointed when the huge mechanical roar turned out to be....well, that. I mean, really? I know we're going for gritty realism here, but I would have been so stoked if it had turned out to be some enormous, tsunami-causing cyborg dinosaur thing. I mean, I know MW2's story was ridiculous, but at least it was entertaining.

Fallout 3, I love the game, but if there are two things I have to beat the game over the head for, they are: too many fucking subway tunnels, and a very unoriginal story.
While New Vegas may not have had an incredible story, it was at least more original.

heyyyy I liked the story but I've definitely agree with you about the subway tunnels.....*urgh*


OT: I can't think of to many games (that I've played anyway) that have had bad stories but from what I've seen and heard Modern Warefare 2's was utterly ridiculous

Believe it or not, the story actually fell apart at the end. It was pretty interesting and above average until then, and you didn't have to read the datalogs if you knew what the shitty lingo meant.

I actually haven't found a game with a bad enough story that it would make me hate it, call me easily impressed, but I prefer gameplay mechanics over story...But for the sake of the forum the game I least liked was Manhunt, that story and gameplay was just so bad I didn't even bother finishing the first level.
