I know this is 360 forum, and I am a 360 player but for me the game with the best story is..

HEART OF DARKNESS - PS1

It's a boy battling demons in order to save his dog? What else do you need?

Someone must agree? Heh.

While I know alot of people may disagree with me, I absolutely loved the story of Shadows of the Damned. One of my favorite games of all time.

Honestly, this is impossible for me to answer, there are just too many good stories, each with their own greatness, but I like seeing everybody's opinions, some of my favorites would be: Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age Origins, and Final Fantasy 9 in no order

Three year old thread of gaming goodness! I love reading what people like, especially if the list/game is differnt than mine and by some stroke of bad luck/timing/stoopidity means I haven't played it.

My list:

1) Portal

2) Bioshock (original ONLY)

3) Alan Wake

and last but certainly not least...

4) Duck Hunt... because that dog is UP to something and one of these days I'ma figure out WHAT.

I am going to go way back and say FF III (or FF VI). That story was incredible because there were so many characters and they were all involved and they all had their own motivations for joining the party. Amazing game, best RPG ever made.

To be honest, stories/storylines have never been of any interest to me in videogames, for me it's all about gameplay. How i go about completing my

objectives are paramount, how a game might offer me different paths or routes to that end is the creative factor i seek. How i play, how i do, is all i ever care

about, the story is always secondary.

And it's because of this that we get stuck with one generic call of duty or call of duty clone after another.

All time greatest can't be found on the 360 :P. I'd say that honor goes to Grim Fandango. For 360, I'd go with Bioshock.

On Xbox 360 it has to be the Mass Effect series. Of all time I would say Final Fantasy 7 or KOTOR.

I gotta second all the love for Bioshock. KOTOR was very impressive but didn't make me think that video gaming had the potential to top cinema the way that Bioshock did. Then "Red Dead Redemption" topped Bioshock (IMHO, of course) because I found it better than a film might be on that same subject matter (The Old West right at the point that it stopped being The Old West). I guess I rate KOTOR and the Mass Effect down more than I should because I am so well traveled in that genre that, while I loved them, they didn't have the "wow" factor that they might for others. I will say that I am playing Mass Effect 2 right now and it's so great that I am limiting play so I can day-dream about what is going on..... that normally only happens for me with books! We are in a golden age, just look around and enjoy!

No game story can come close to Xenogears complexity.

Mass Effect is one that comes close, but only because that it's game world was so well made and is very detailed.

sandroDX

My thoughts exactly but I dont think mass effect had that complex of a story.

Xenosaga/Xenogears and legend of mana, all of which are not on the 360... D:

final fantasy 7, i was about 11/12 when i played this and it was probably the first game i played that had a detailed story and sparked my love for more story driven games.

Kotor 1, i love star wars and i love Rpgs what else is their to say except DAT TWIST! plus i was a little bit in love with bastilla.

Bioshock, would you kindly?

God of war, always been a huge fan of greek myth so this game was a no brainer to me, seeing kronus crawling through the desert with pandora's temple on his back gave me nerd chills.

Lost odyssey, hadnt played a J-rpg since ff9 but this spurred my love for the genre again (plus it was like 5 bucks!), oh and SCREW YOU KILLALON!

Theres probably tons more but thats all that comes to mind atm.

Might be a tad lade for posting, but what the heck... Tales of Vesperia was good, because seriously if it takes 60 hours to be a game, then SOMETHING has to be good. Assassin's creed, too. Smart plot line, hard to understand, at first. Yeah, and Paper Mario, I'll admit, was interesting.

I find Mass Effects story pine absolutely brilliant! I do also find fallout and most of the elder scrolls to be extremely well put togather as well, but mass effect for me is hands down better.

Halo's story reaches only about as far as you described. I was just meaning that the next Halo is as likely to have a real, well made story besides "you crashed on this plant because aliens attacked lol survive". xD
