@steve5xg: TLoU is definitely up there in terms of best story game of all time. Alan Wake is another one I'd rank pretty highly. Pretty much every Telltale game I've played since the first Walking Dead game was pretty solid. Life is Strange was also great. The Mass Effect series was pretty epic right up until the end.
And what's your opinion about the movie with Michael Fassbender?
In my opinion the best game with a story I've ever played is easily Zelda: Ocarina of Time hands down.
One of my Top 3 (might be the top one, indeed).
I though you would see the movie, just because you likethe video game. But well, actually me neither.
Have to say that most of the things about Walking Dead that I like are about comics. Indeed, I stopped watching the TV Serie because I found characters so boring. But I must admit killing zombies in the video game is such amazing haha :) BTW: Alan Wake is simply brilliant, totally agree with you.
Hey how about Anima series?
If you´re an Anima: Beyond the fantasy geek, you must love the games that has been released.
Anima: Gate of memories and Anima: The Nameless chronicles have really nice stories... of course if you like the roleplay book Anima.
Ok, I see the trailer and looks pretty cool. Sounds like it's going to be my next RPG adquisition.
Halo 1-4 were pretty good 5 not so much on the story front. I've been interested in going through the gears games and while they are far from great with the story it's been an interesting experience.
The Witcher 3 and Horizon Dawn.
Found RDR2 too much. Got Open World fatigue from this..
Reminds me i need to get to the witcher 3. Played a bit of 2 but never finished it and that puts me off slightly.
The Last of Us is my favorite in terms of story. I also like the Uncharted series as well.
I could keep going, but there's just too many to list.
You mean Gears of War, don't you? Love the last one, story behind is pretty awesome and so the gameplay. Halo is always a good choice, but for me its story is not as interesting as its gameplay.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm getting tired of open world for a while. But RDR2 is wonderfull.
You have to play it! For me is the best of The Witcher.
And your list is really nice! I love Silent Hill series. The story blows my mind. It's so creepy and terrific! I only miss a few games on your list, like Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII, but it's fine!
I have to warn you that Anima is more action than RPG... of course has a lot of RPG elements, but If you are a clasical RPG player, anima will be not a good choice.
Well, I am not the classical RPG player, just a current RPG gamer. It's good to try it, even if it's not my kind of game.
Those comes to mind. I usually don't pay much attention to the story in videogames and get annoyed easily when the game really wants me to, but those games above are some of the ones that I really enjoyed and still remember.
Well, Zelda video games are for me one of the best stories ever. OoT is simply brilliant, can't say how many hours I've already spent playing it.
Singleplayer: The Witcher series has the best story ever imo.
Multiplayer: RF Online revolves around solid storytelling although its quests kinda grindy. Started on Zucker recently and almost completed a story line.
As mentioned before: Uncharted 4.
Maybe it's because I don't usually play MMO games, but I'ts hardly difficult for me to find a good storyline in these kind of video games. I never played RF Online, just took a look at the gameplay in YouTube and I found it interesting.
Better than Uncharted saga: Alan Wake. What's your point?
Never played Elite: Dangerous. I just watched the gameplay in YouTube and have to say its HUD is awesome, not only the colour palette but also the UI. I like all the possibilities you talk about, so I'll give it a try!
@steve5xg: I really enjoyed all the Uncharted Games, but in my opinion Uncharted 4 has the best story. Alan Wake is a pretty interesting game too, but only the first one. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is in my opinion quite boring.
The Last of Us definitely is one of my top picks—not so much for the story itself (which is quite simple, really), but for the incredible way it is told. At the moment, my top vote goes to Bioshock Infinite.
Yeah, man. Uncharted 4 is amazing. Still prefer TLoU, but both of them are really cool. Why did you find Alan Wake's American Nightmare boring? I like the idea of a story based in a TV series, such as The Twilight Zone, but maybe it's because the gameplay, isn't it?
I love Rapture! hahaha Bioshock is terrific!
No idea what game it is. Could you tell us about it in a few words?
@steve5xg I actually still haven’t experienced Rapture. I played Bioshock Infinite first (I’m a bit late to the party). I am so stoked to play 1 and 2, but didn’t want to jump right in and be done with them all in a matter of weeks, so I’ve been holding off. Very soon, I shall venture to Rapture to discover its awesomeness.
There are a lot of good story base game out there but those two are my top. MSG being my first as it blew me away with the story when it first came out. Most recent one would be W3. Not only is the main story well done but the side quest story was well thought out as well.
Well, I should play it, then! Thanks for the advice.
Rapture is the city in Bioshock, so you might play it but you maybe didn't realized about it haha. Bioshock gameplay is so funny.
And I am so agree with you. Can't believe no body talked about Metal Gear Solid in this thread yet. I remmeber myself playing like there is no tomorrow, like a bunch of hours, and It was totally awesome.
Prob RDR2. It literally makes me somewhat believe in the simulation hypothesis (that we live in a sort of matrix like computer sim). The reason being, if rockstar can create a living world that realistic now ........juSt imagine what we, or some alien race could create in 100, 500, 10,000 10000000000000 years into the future!!!!! The other day I killed an eagle in RDR 2 and a I noticed a dead snake in front of the eagles body. The damn eagle had a snake in its mouth and was flying away with it when I shot it down from the sky! I know it’s not exactly the answer to the question because it’s a question about story I’m just saying so much love went into crafting that game that it’s impossible for me not to say it’s one of the best games ever and that includes the story as well.
"Rapture is the city in Bioshock, so you might play it but you maybe didn't realized about it haha. Bioshock gameplay is so funn"
Oh, I know that. I've only played Bioshock Infinite so far, which takes place in Columbia. So I haven't been to Rapture yet. I am looking forward to that when I get around to playing Bioshock 1 (which should be pretty soon now).
@steve5xg: Yes you should absolutely amazing. One of my all time favorite games.
Oh, man! RDR2 is too realistic for my booty hahahaha I love it! Matrix made so much pain to our world... but it's impossible to not imagine something like that. Gotta play the game, yeah.
yeah, dude. Give it a try!
Both of them are really really cool.
I'll try! Thanks for the feedback.
The Suffering (both Prison Is Hell and Ties That Bind). That duology is the story of my life.
Silent Hill is always the right choice.
Yesterday was the Nintendo Direct and I have to say I love the new Zelda: A Link's awakening grpahic style. I know it's just a remake, but that's the kind a graphics I do really appreciate. Despide the fact that I don't have the Nintendo Swicht, I wanna see a gameplay right now. So, yeah, for me hype is real.
@qwertblamblam: what is that game about? It seems like a date simulator or something like that??
Surprising I only saw one mention of god of war in this thread, that has to be the best story game I played in recent memory, every character was so well written and watching the evolution of kratos was absolutely phenomenal.
On a less popular note I really enjoyed the story arc of castlevania lords of shadows series, not the deepest or well written story in gaming history but as a longtime castlevania fan I liked what they did with the series.
@pook99: yeah, actually it is one of the best games to play. Personally, I didn't play it enought time to include this game in my list. Anyway, Castlevania reminds me of my old times when I was a little boy playing games alone at home. That game scared me!
