yeah? you think so? haha idkDefense said:
maybe if the characters had been more likable (some say they grow on you, maybe)
but I also think I simply didn't like the setting (very flashy) as opposed to the more grungy or darker settings of some previous FF games
The only thing I like about FFXIII right now, or rather what stands out isn't even the story itself, but rather STEELGUARD.duchaked said:
The game that I remember with the biggest stinker of a story? Psychic Force if anything, even Eternal Ring had a more engaging story.
*has specifically avoided reading the rest of the thread - knows for a fact it will mostly be hating on Halo, CoD and Final Fantasy, as well as possibly a flamewar over Mass Effect*
OK, so I don't know it for a fact. How accurate was I, though? I'd appreciate it if someone told me.
Oh, me?
Hmmm.
Putting to one side jokes about Mario or Pong (of which I suspect there are already several), I don't think I can nominate anything. The one thing I could nominate as having "the worst" story, I haven't yet finished, so it would be unfair of me to judge it (what if it suddenly improves dramatically in the second half?).

Totally have to agree. FF X-2 was the first FF game i played, and it nearly put me off for life. Quite liked the gameplay but i LOATHED the characters and the story. So afterwards i borrowed FF X from a friend, and same thing again, i liked the gameplay but just could not stand tidus. Just never bought into the whole 'blitzball player saves the world' story. Plus fuck blitzball, i hated that game.Beelzebozo said:
Destroy all humans path of the furon. Look! It's a bad guy, who isn't actually the bad guy and has no fucking idea of what is going on. And then after the real baddie the master is revealed he gets insta-killed in a cut-scene by orthopox who then becomes the emperor... for some reason.
Way to kill a series Sandblast.

Worst... hm...
Alpha Protocol's felt pretty basic and unoriginal, but I was still slightly sucked into it.
Many games lack stories all togeather though. Not sure if that's what you're looking for by "worst", but if they count I vote for Demon's Souls.

Tetris.
Nothing is ever explained with that game. Who keeps dropping the blocks? Why are they made in such awkward shapes? How has gravity been suspended to allow the blocks to fall so slowly? Where do the blocks come from? Where do they go?
Worst. Storytelling. Ever.

Hey, if a game has a backstory that literally makes people a bit sick in the stomach you can't really call it bad. Raping the hot chick has at least some sense to it, it's just in really (and I do mean really) poor taste. It's like snuff films, people getting dismembered for real and videos of that get sold. 99.99% of the people wouldn't watch that for the world, but not because there's a bad story in there.Johnnyallstar said:
Now that game where you're a space-ship and you're falling down a pit. What is going on here?
But that game is story-less so it doesn't really count.
How about Angry Birds?
There's these birds and they want to rob these pigs so they do suicide strikes against them.
Uhm, come again?
The amount of people saying Left 4 Dead and Borderlands saddens me. Just because a game tells a story with subtlety or provides an un-expected ending twist at the expense of the player, doesn't mean it has a terrible story.
I don't really get how he is right, no one is flaming anyone. I stand by my comments. Borderlands had a terrible story and so did Halo ODST. The actual Halo story line is good when you look into it, but not ODST.Gemore said:
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.OhJohnNo said:
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
