I have played many games throughout my lifetime, and most of the time I really look for a great story in my games, the one's with great stories are the ones I always seem to come back to and remember throughout my life. So I'm going to mention a few games that I think had tremendously good stories and what I like about them. And then I want to hear what other people's favorite stories were too!
1.) Final Fantasy X
This is definitely one of my favorite games ever. I've beaten it several times throughout my life. I just loved the characters and settings in this game. The story is told very well and it did a good job of showing things from the surface, and also behind the scenes. Things aren't as the seem and there are plenty of twists that will take you by surprise. The ending is great, even if the direct sequel made it not as meaningful.
I don't think I've ever played a game since this one that grabbed my emotions and mind as well as this one did. The only game that really comes close is next..
2.) Mass Effect
This game kind of took me by surprise. I was expecting it to be a great game, but I wasn't expecting it to have one of the best, most entertaining stories that have come to this generation of consoles. The setting was perfect, the characters were deep and well played, and the story was epic. Politics are a part of the story and come up several times in the plot in major ways. One of my favorite moments in video games were in this game. Including: [spoiler] The first meeting with Sovereign. [/spoiler]
Mass Effect is definitely my favorite game for the current generation of games.
Those are my two favorite stories in gaming, now I wanna know what everyone else's favorite VG stories are.
