Yahtzee's got nothing on me when it comes to Clairvoyance.
Honestly though, this thread grinds my gears sometimes. Every story ever is interpreted subjectively. Find me a story that not a single person hates, or find me a story that not a single person loves and i will be impressed.

I love the story of pong. Those poor white blocks are playing a game of tennis. If they lose, their family will not be able to afford any food for the next month
You just made a very good point.

It would be OK if this thread was treated as a subjective one, but it's always talked about in objective terms. Which doesn't really work and only leads to frustration.

A trait quite common in most what is best/worst/ok (never seen a what games are OK thread) threads. Its sad but inevitable, kind of like death, or the end of a tetris game

The only thing I like about FFXIII right now, or rather what stands out isn't even the story itself, but rather STEELGUARD.
wait doesn't steelguard kill HOPE??
...can hardly see how that's a bad thing :p

Prototype's was just silly. How am I supposed to feel sorry for a guy who was given superpowers and takes it out on innocent civilians?
I agree that game made no sense, the story was more of a side quest. I still have no idea where the 'Green' girl came from.

I think "Hi, I'm an underwater football player created by ghots who travels through time to fight my dad, who has become satan" takes the cake here. That's Final Fantasy 10 if anyone didn't get it by now.

all Halo games past CE.
(no offence to you personally)
see this is what i dislike. people not liking games for lacking in story when mostly its shooty fun. Thats like saying Doom or pac-man was bad as there was little story. Not all games need one to exist. but they can often be a nice add-on to explain some of the reasons for doing things.
Sir... with this comment.. you best have bought Bulletstorm... and enjoyed it.

Samckdown Vs. Raw. Every year they have to throw in a story where Cena goes to Mania and becomes champ. I'm sick enough of him in real life, leave him out of the digital ones.

I'm going to have to go with either Final Fantasy VIII or Enchanted Arms. I haven't played either one in a long while, so I'm not 100% on which of the two is worse.

According to my friend on another site, it would be Enchanted Arms. Earlier this evening he said that it was worse than Hope from FF XIII. I thought NOTHING was worse than Hope from that game.

For me it has to be New Vegas, I like the game but the plot is pretty terrible. First of all you can skip half the main questline just by going to Vegas and then it doesn't really tell you what to do afterwards, its just like get the Boomers help for something.

Well, judging by the thread title, SSHD had a prettey mad story. You kind of stomped across egypt and pre-columbian america and persia and medival europe and killed aliens and things. But it was hilarious.

But in the thread you just say flat out worst, which I couldnt tell you. Cannot remember last really bad game I played.

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 dear god. I got the basic ending and felt like the developer just sent a clown to laugh in my face for wasting my time to get THAT ending. More recently I looked up the other endings and found out I got off beyond lucky. What total moron thought those were worth getting.

Alan Wake. Can't be bothered going into the details of it as it would take too long, but it's horrendously bad, even for the horror genre which isn't known for good writing to begin with.

Any city based game not made by rockstar. Saints row 2, infamous, prototype, just cause 2, mercenaries 2, crackdown ... But they usually don't even try so it's not as bad as alan wake that seemed to put all their emphasis on the fact it was a story based game, as the gameplay and level design were horrible. Maybe the exception is mafia 2 but I haven't played it. Doesn't count games with multiple towns like fallout/mass effect that are more fantasy.

Just Cause 2. The game is fun as hell but the story is cheesy at best.
Not to mention some of the worst voice acting of all time. But for some reason, it remains one of my favorite games....
