Your favorite game- for the STORY?

[DareArkin]

So, everyone's talking about graphics and performance and weapons and whatnot in games- but what about STORY? What's your favorite STORY from a game?

Could be anything- from the story you were most able to get into, to the one you related to the best, to the one you just plain thought was win.

Personal choices? Starcraft and Brood War, Morrowind, Fable 1 and Bad Company.

How about Bioshock? Although the sequel might fuck that up....

 

[DareArkin]

Wait, they're actually making a sequel? Thought that was a rumor.

....How can they continue that one? Didn't we end it in the game...?

I have a soft spot for the resident evil saga. Like a soap opera with flesh-eating zombies. That isn't "Dead Set".

 

[Powerman88]

Silent Hill 2. That was easy.

 

[savandicus]

Indigo Prophecy purely because it went completely crazy for the last half and just made me laugh at its sillyness.

 

[Elim Garak]

HL1 and Deus Ex (1).

 

[opium of the people]

GTAIV

 

[AdjectiveAnimal]

Bioshock, easily. I even played played through it two more times to try and get all the details.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Silent Hill 2 is probably the best "storied" game out there at the moment.

Baring that... Baldurs Gate 2 was pretty damn awesome.

 

[Davey Woo]

Gears of War or CoD4, It's hard to choose. I got more attached to the characters in CoD4, and also CoD4 came to a proper ending, unlike Gears which wanted the sequel to finish it off, which it didn't -.-

 

[Fronken]

Assassin's Creed, easily, the story is just amazing in that game, well written, intruiging(spelling?) and topped off by a really well made plot twist.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Half Life 2... not just the story but the wonderful way in which it is told through the physical world around you...

the downtrodden citizens of city 17 and creepy female voice that announces god knows what... the giant screens spurting out propaganda...
the ruined houses along the coast with little trajic stories to discover inside them...
the ominous citadel overlooking everything you do...
the fantastic Alyx... best AI in agame.. like EVUURRR...
the stunning interactive journey through the interior of the citadel, where you see the internal workings of the combine...

Loved the story of Mass Effect and Witcher.

Loved the story of Mass Effect and Witcher.

Kudos for Mass Effect! Forgot that one!

Yeah, it's been confirmed.

Bioshock 2 : Sea of Dreams (Working Title)

In my opinion, it will completely undo everything good the first one did, but I guess I won't know for sure until it comes out.

 

[Arrers]

I'm gonna say Half-Life 2, or BioShock.

I have a soft spot for the resident evil saga. Like a soap opera with flesh-eating zombies. That isn't "Dead Set".

Oh god, Dead Set the only good thing about that was the deaths of each character.

Silent Hill 2 obviously. Aside from that, Star Wars TIE Fighter, mainly because it's one of the only games where you start evil and aren't forced into turning good half way through. It was just killing Rebel scum throughout, until Admiral Zaarin betrayed the Emperor, then it was killing Imperial traitors.
