Looking for a good story driven game.

Im looking for a good story driven game. Im open to any genre.

Ive already played the Assassins creed games (not 3 yet) Batman games, deus ex, Mass effect123,

Thats all I can think of for now as far as story driven games.

Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption.

Max Payne 3

Alan Wake is heavily based on story.

Silent Hill Downpour (VERY UNDERRATED GAME), and also Alan Wake, but i recommend Downpour more...

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the best story driven game imo, up next comes Red Dead Redemption and then Black Ops.

Mafia II

Forget everything in this thread and just buy Lost Odyssey. If it doesn't tug on your heart strings a little, then you are possessed by a demon.

Lords of Shadow is decent too.

The Witcher 2 and Read Dead Redemption have great stories.

And I saw someone else mention it: Silent Hill Downpour.

40-50 hours could be considered short depending on how good the game is.

[QUOTE="Witchsight"] Long winded JRPGs scare me more than horror games D: I would suggest the Darkness, a game i never would have assumed was interesting until someone suggested it to me :PBlueresident87

[QUOTE="ristactionjakso"]40-50 hours isn't long winded for a great rpg. That's a appropriate rpg length.

It depends, does it have good pace. I find that 20 hours is enough time to get a really well developed story and end it. But 40 hours could be good as long as it doesnt feel drawn out and is fun to play. Ill check out lost odyssey though. Sounds good so far.

Like most here have already said Lost Odyssey is the way to go. It made me take an interest in a genre I used to hate.

I heard Bastion is good, but really short.

Max Payne 3

No way. The story was way too predictable.

The Witcher 2 is a good choice I say.

I really enjoyed the story in that game.

I really enjoyed the story in that game.

I though it was pretty good too.

Everything in the story was easy to predict, though. The outcome wasn't really a secret.

Alan Wake is heavily based on story.

thetravman

It literally is story based. Also a very underrated game, one of my favorite experiences on Xbox 360.

Blue Dragon is an amazing old school rpg with a classic story and it's just a fun game. I'd say it's around 30 hours but you can usually find it for less than $10.

Mafia II, Bioshock Series, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, Dead Space series

It wasnt as much about the story progression, which was good, but about MaX's lifestyle change.

LordTrexGuy

Alan Wake, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Dead Space and Dead Space 2.

Dragon Age I & II, Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 (if you like FF series that is)

Alan Wake, Dragon Age 1 & 2

The Walking Dead and Spec Ops The Line have two of the best stories this gen and both are 2012 games. Both are impressive when it comes to narrative.

I hear the Call of Duty series have great long lasting campaigns with high replay ability.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings. They both have a great story and awesome gameplay.

Alan wake is awesome and has a really nice story (if you take the time to find and read all the book pages).

Red red redemption: amazing game.

Lost odyssey.

Max Payne 3 (love it).

Alan Wake, LA Noire, RDR, GTA IV

Fallout 3

I havent seen it yet, but Im really enjoying AC3 story. Not desmunds side but Connor's story is interesting.

Lost Odyssey and Castlevania. I used my X360 for arcade fighters and halo mostly. Oh, Last Remnant was an under appreciated game. I thought it was really good.

Far Cry 3 is where it's at. Best game of 2012, and I definitely consider it to be story driven.
