Games with a good story

Hey sythe, What games do you think have a good story, can be any type of game and tell me why you think it has a good story.

 

Kingdom hearts, Legend of Zelda: OoT were the games that made my childhood.

 

I played a little bit of kingdom hearts, my most beloved game is final fantasy 10 i just fell completely in love with the characters

 

I'll try to list a few modern/relevant games.

-Batman games (Asylum, City, Origins) = I've played them all, they're all extremely enticing and play out like a comic book.

-Mass Effect Series = Words can't describe.. seriously awesome game series, check it out.

-Fallout 3 = My favorite game of all time, it has everything.

-Bioshock = The 1st one of the series is slightly outdated now, but they all still kick ass.

-Fable = Not a huge fan, but a lot of people enjoy this.

-Assasins Creed = Again not a huge fan, but it's pretty damn popular.

-Gears of War = An extremely fun game series to play through with a buddy, couch coop ftw.

-Elder Scrolls = More specifically Skyrim. I'm sure most everyone has tried it out, but I thought I'd list it anyways.

-Red Dead Redemption = Bad ass cowboy action, Check ; Cool story, Check ; Play it now.

-Portal = nuff said.

-The walking dead tell tale game series = Pretty stripped down game, it's entertaining nonetheless.

-Half Life = Not my favorite game on the list, but a solid game nonetheless.

-Honourable mentions.... Halo / GTA.....

 

HaHa i have played evey single game u mentioned I loved fable even number 3, Can not get in to halo tho

 

Zelda ocarina, FFX if you've never played it is by far the greatest story told via a video game in my opinion.

 

Hmm... OK.

I'll list off a few games with stories that I've enjoyed that may be slightly more obscure or are older, but have been re released to current gen consoles / are easily accessible.

- The last of us (forgot to mention this is my original post)

- Prince of Persia Sands of Time (ps2 - re released for the ps3)

- Journey (I've only really watched gameplay..)

le gameplay



- Limbo (xbox arcade sidescrollers ftw)

- The witcher franchise (not a fan, try it I guess)

- God of War (the rerelease is soo dope)

- Chrono Trigger.... Definitely a lock in my top 10 games of all time.

- Shadow of the Colossus, if you haven't already played this game, doitnow. (best ps2 game evar/best video game story ever?)

- Uncharted (I haven't played much... but people love it)

- Heavy Rain?

- Metal Gear Solid franchise

- Jack and daxter franchise (re released for the ps3)

that's all the games that focus on a good story I can think of off the top of my head at 3 am... I'm fairly certain you haven't played all these games, but if you have kudos to you.

 

I have the uncharted series having played it yet, Loved heavy rain i pre ordered it and everything lol, Played jack and dater when i was younger and i loved them first ps2 game i owned, I have the last of us, and i have looked at shadow of the col many times and wonder if i should get it but i might now

 

GTA SA, 4 and 5 seems to have a good story.
Haven't played 5 yet, but some asshole decided to add a major spoiler to the character profiles that I was reading.

 

I see that you've already played final fantasy 10. You should give 7, 8 and 9 a go. They are easy among the best games on PS1 and 7 and 9 have both been voted for #1 game on PS1 depending on who you talk to/what site you look at. They both have a very rich story. Personally I prefer 9 since it actually has a class system in it (7 you just picked whoever looked coolest and used them), whereas here each character has set pre-defined roles e.g. white mage, black mage, blue mage, theif, monk, knight etc. Don't get me wrong either, Cloud & Sephiroth are fucking bad asses but I liked Zidane's character, it was nice to see the protagonist being different than the defined mould of the time.

 

the half life series

 

I have played almost every final fantasy i also loved crisis core for the psp and I also have played half life but cant get in to it lol

 

Bump.

 

OoT story was good but majoras mask was even better, it was dark sad and exciting.

I liked warcraft III ha but I'm kind of old school.

I enjoyed the black ops (the first one) campaign a lot it's kind of inceptionish

I'll think of more

 

The title is "Games with a good story" and people suggested "Limbo" and "Portal".

Black ops is a very story heavy game, but it's still a pretty cheesy one. (It's heavily plot twist oriented)

The most story heavy game I have ever seen would be Galatea. I can't assure you it will be the best story ever. But it is fantastically done.

 

Hmm ill have to give it a go and never like CoD story lines

 

Ascend: Hand Of Khul

 

Why are people going for all these modern games! My favourite ones are when I jump back to my childhood and replay what I grew up with. Sure, you can knock the games over in 2 days, and the graphics are generally mediocre at best, but my God they are fun to replay.

I'm talking the good old PS1 stuff.
- Gex
- Spyro
- Tomba (less known, but probably my favourite)
- Crash 3 is always fun to replay

I could go on. But as you can probably tell, I'm about to get off this computer and dig my baby out.
~Misty out.

 

Try Dark Cloud 2 even though it's an older game now. The story is truly awesome.

Also, I love the story lines of the Fire Emblem games. Try Sacred Stones first.

 

-Half Life
-Braid
-Fable 3
-Portal 2
-Max Payne
-Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
-Biohazard 4
