Title: Best Story-driven game?
Post by: Nandez on September 17, 2010, 12:44:29 AM
So alot of rpgmakers game are now to the point were people are like "No one wants to play this" because its mainly story-driven which honestly tends to bore people these days.

So I'm curious what "actual" story-driven game is your favorite or what you consider the best.

For me it's

Not sure if a topic like this was made before but I have never seen one.

Septerra Core. Game so so bad. Story so so good. I'll never play it again because it's that awful, but I'm glad I played it once.

So far, I'd have to say either Mass Effect (it's like if a Michael Bay movie actually had a decent plot), or Lost Odyssey (which is just plain good, were it not for the dated gameplay).

It's a toss up between Heavy Rain and Hotel Dusk, for me. Both are brilliant.

Heavy Rain is a great example of a pure story-driven game :)

Damn, I should've thought of that. The story is so much deeper than Wii Sports, is a great game. Gameplay almost doesn't matters when playing it. The characters really make care about them. I got so sad when T Block disappeared when the L block fell on top of it.

Don't. Just don't. One cry is enough.

If I had meant FFTA, Id have said it. The stories in those were not even that well thought out.

The fact that you even have to ask that takes you down a peg

Zerlina, you really should have put a spoiler warning there :/ You'll ruin it for others.

Nintendo always do a fantastic job of making really deep characters in Mario games
that you can relate to. The storytelling is almost Dexter-like.

UNRELATED NOTE: Only 2 episodes of season 4 left to watch!!! It's SOOOOO GOOOOOODDD!!!!!
John Lithgow scares me.

I had to ask because I have not played FFTA nor heard of it referred to that before, but thats probally because I'm not
a big fan of Final Fantasy.

Septerra core is awesome, so many twists and turns and they make it epic with so little effort.

Then I might just add the Kingdom Hearts series. It sounds like something that would fail easily but that friggin character designer totally made a series to remember. He left loose ends, picked a few for the next game but left more loose ends. Everything in the story makes sense, in a videogame - fashion at least.
It's not like most other series that just... Oh yeah... errr there is this other guy who also wants to destroy the world kill him as well.
Chain of memories and 386/2 days weren't as great story wise though. Interesting games but no mental apeal.

FFIX, it's such a lovely story.

Star ocean till the end of time. The game itself is great but it would've done well without that last plot twist with something not being what it seemed to be.

Then we have the Heroes of might and magic campaigns. They rule, especially those in HOMM3 and the expansions.
