thumbs up mate, most of the games i know, and the story in them are superb, way better than simple plots like the hl series, that has been seen before so many times.. the whole MGS series have great storylines, Max Payne 1-2 both are awesome and the monologue is so damn good it really affects the atmosphere.
ASSASSIN'S F*CKING CREED!!! the series had me waste 12 hours on the firt game, 34 on the second, 7 on blood lines, 74 in brotherhood.. and more 20 hours total speculating the rest of the story at the end of each game....
i think that san andreas has a way better story than IV niko is going in liberty city becawse he only wants to make money and see his cousin but roman is in pretty deep shit niko needs to help him blah blah blah and it turns out niko is a serial killer that kills people for money only the san andreas story is more exiting CJ comes back to los santos becawse the murder of his mom wich the rival gang the ballas mede and he wants to revenge with his brother sweet
indigo prophecy, heavy rain, prince of persia, (not sure of bioshock), silent hill, alan wake, call of duty, F.E.A.R., penumbra, turok (2008), the saboteur....
just some titles from some series with some great storyes...
@delta2ish actually... the WW2 classics are great...the way it brings that ww2 feeling its amazing... and 4 mw, mw2,and black ops werent bad in story either... maybe based on fiction but a good story (i havent played BO yet : / ) and.. im talking more about the singelplayer :|
@mosu95 Cod1-3 were not really storys it was just the war. Cod 4 was the highest point for a story for Cod series but still it was not great. Cod 5-7 Suck at a game and a story.
but how about Assassin's Creed, Thief series, Vampire: The Masquerade series, Elder Scrolls series, Call of Cthulhu (didnt finished it but is has so much mystery)
@Yurian903 Half-Life has a pretty simple story with no videos but scripted scenes. It´s nice but devinitive no story game. I played them all and wasn´t impressed, like from fallout 3, chaser, max, GTA
@Yurian903 Yeah, half life has a really poor story compared to other big games. It keeps you entertained throughout the game, but it won't make you stay awake till 5:00am. Games you mentioned might seem to have a good story line when compared to modern games, such as Cod, far cry etc.. But there's tons of older games which blow them away with their storyline.
Lemme just say that Grand Theft Auto IV's storyline isnt as good as Saints Row's. In Saints Row, you start out as a nobody who keeps his mouth shut and does what hes told, then in the second one, after the "incident" with the mayor, you wake up and decide its time to take action and rule the Saints. To me, GTA4 is just a low-life forigner <---- Spelled wrong- Who comes to America for fame and fortune... See the differences?
@snizandfondue Well everyone agrees that GTA 4 is way better then Saints Row. Saints didnt won best game of the year unlike the GTA series which won awards. Its also one of the best storys in games to date. (like Tony Montana from Scarface) A nobody that came in this country to be somebody. Unlike Saints Row which is a rip off of GTA. The main charater doesnt talk<----spoiler until he talks in Saints Row 2 which he comes back from a comma<----spoiler.
@wooferwlad00myspace we all know that 1 of the reasons that halo universe became so popular was because of its great story based charaters and great story that makes you feel like the charaters are real now halo thats the best story line out there
@RandomVideos1411 Not really :3 Only Halo 1 Acieved that but that was a Medicore story still better then most but meh. Plus You are Overdoing it. People Thought The Charecters were real? Lol ridiculos. Plus Metal gear solid Had a story that spanded 50 years and it took 21 years to tell it. Halo only took like 9 years.
@delta2ish ok i understand wat u mean by i am over doing it u got to amit it does have a great story that mostly made me buy 2 3 and reach :) and i never played metal gear solid so i dont really have a comment for that ha
@RandomVideos1411 Only 1 had a Good story the others Felt Really Disjointed. Thought Metal gear solid had to have atleast 8 games to tell the entire story and The story Was a Span of 50 years with 21 years to make :3 Thats a High Acievment.
@delta2ish well that sound good to i suppose and the other halo games did not fell disjoint it just game play got worst until halo reach the story do stay as great as ever
@RandomVideos1411 Nah Halo 2 Was also an Ok story but the ending sucked then, Halo 3 the story Was really Medicore and there was Nothing Special about it and they didnt really Focus on it. Then Halo reach They focused alot on the story but it was a Bad one so :3
@wooferwlad00myspace if the story is so simple, why dont u just prove it and tell it, and the series havent ended yet theres lot of mysterys and stuff.. Maybe just to complicated story for retards like you to understand
@wooferwlad00myspace wooferwlad00myspace you dumbass. Story-lines in games is not what you do. its about the "STORY" of the game. the story-line of gta iv: You are a russian guy named Nico, who comes with a boat to Liberty City. And does some killing jobs for some dumb reason... And if you ask me thats a pretty dumb story. wooferwlad00myspace you dumbass, what you are thinking of is the gameplay "NOT" "STORY" wooferwlad00myspace you dumbass

@wooferwlad00myspace If looking at the story line I'd choose GTA SA, not IV.
GTA SA has an epic, long storyline about a gang rebuilding, a life ruined by corrupt police officers.
GTA IV is just about a russian serial killer in Liberty City.
