Bioshock Infinite thus far. But we have not heard much of Dishonored's story just yet though, so I would wait on its release first. IT might be deeper then the whole "revenge and clearing name" stuff it seems to be about as of now.

Bioshock lore is very good, don't know what dishonereds lore is like.

Halo lore has always been generic rubbish.

Bioshock Infinite or Dishonored, Halo has never really had a good storyline. I'm being serious, I don't see why Halo fans say it does, Master Cheif is a very dull character with zero personality.

The books however are good but the games never capture them. ODST mabey came the closest in atmosphere, but it was too short to warrent a purcase. If you want a good story in FPS then Bioshock is the way to go.

Dishonored looks like it will be story driven as well, so does Far Cry 3. Halo is really just about the MP, but maybe 343 might end up making better campaigns than Bungie? Who knows.

My bets are dishonored or Bioshock: Infinate.

Halo never had a good story, but rather a really good presentation, but really you could sum up the story in about 4 words, and nthing in the story never went outside the typical cookie cutter story. Despite the story the atmosphere and execution was excellent in Halo, which far overshadowed the pretty typical story.

I think that Bioshock: Infinite will have the most engrossing story of those 3 games. Disohonored could have a great one too. I can't see Halo 4's being anything special.

So we're just guessing? Okay, I'll go Dishonored, though Bioshock is fine too. And Dishonored, while a first person game, really isn't a shooter.

Dishonored is at least going to be something different.

Halo & Bioshock is going to be the same old story.

Why is HaLOL even included in a discussion about story? :?

I say we can expect good stories in both Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite,but I'll pick Bioshock Infinite as the winner,since original Bioshock had one of the best stories I personally ever saw in a video game,all loose ends get tied,and the "Would you kindly?" revelation was totally amazing during my first playthrough.I loved Bioshock 2's story too,even though I guess some Bioshock fans may disagree with that...

A thing I love about Bioshock is great storytelling,I love it how you must pay attention to details,and listen to audiologs to get the full picture,and many advices like codes,alternate level routes,etc...

Another game that does this well is Metro 2033,where a player also has to pay attention to details,and listen to conversations,for tips,and deeper insight into the game world...

I'm looking forward to seeing what direction 343 will move Halo in.

BioShock always has a good story

Let's wait until these games have been released and we can actually play them, shall we? I remember people being lyrical over Killzone 3's story, and then the game was released and it turned out to be very disappointing.

Anyway, I doubt any of these will even come close to the superb story of Cryostasis.

I don't know, I haven't played those games yet. My prediction: Bioshock: Infinite, but 343i has stated they're focusing a lot more on story for Halo 4 this time around.

Bioshock Infinite going by the past two games. Halo games have never had good story to me (fantastic universe though) and Dishonored has more to prove than Bioshock does.

The best time to judge a story is when you have no idea what it is.

Bioshock Infinite for sure. Dishonored could have good story as the premise seems pretty cool and Halo has only disappointed me story wise with Halo 2

Sorry. I have not invested in a crystal ball. Based off of what I know it will be Bioshock Infinite. It will als be the best of the 3 games.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]Dishonored obviously, story looks incredible. start in prison and break prison and take revenge Halo has same ol generic story. alien invaded and fight and Bioshock story looks LAME. like Crappy Romantic Emotional MOVIE.

Halo 4 will definitely take the cake. But then again I am highly biased having read every Halo book and having only bought the Xbox because of Halo. Oh well.

Hahahahahaha, no not Halo 4 by a longshot. Either Bioshock Infinite - which hopefully doesn't have the same glaring problems of the first in terms of story, or Dishonoured (because it has some damn well amazing devs with an amazing pedigree behind them).

Even fans of Halo can't say Halo 4 will have the best story, in a series known for having terrible stories and a focus on action and strung together series of levels, I doubt that would change now.

So I'd say its between Bioshock and Dishonored since both look like they are putting a ton of work on the fantastic narrative and atmosphere.

Halo has a great sci-fi universe, but has sub-par stories. Bioshock: Infinite looks like it will have a good/great story. Dishonored will probably have a decent/good story.

All three look to be fun games overall. I'm most excited about Dishonored, but I'll get Bioshock as well. As for Halo, I'll get it when the price is reduced.

I say Dishonored will take the cake. The story seems excellent from what's been released and it suits the gameplay perfectly.
