Pizza Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Recently finished the following games:The Walking Dead: Season TwoKillzone: Shadow FallDust: An Elysian Tail Dying LightWatch DogsThe Last of Us RemasteredflowLimboResident Evil 6Resident Evil: Raccoon CityThe Order: 1886Gears of War: JudgmentSacred CitadelKillzone: MercenaryArmy of Two: The Devil's Cartel and they all had really underwhelming, unsatisfying, unbelievably cliché stories that I've seen before in games and movies/tv shows. Regarding the games listed, left me with the conclusion: I could have done something better with my time..So, I am now asking you, the reader of this post. Can you can recommend me any games that you've finished the story of and thought: "wow the story of this game was absolutely amazing.. :) I wish they made the story of this game in to a movie!" Edited June 9, 2015 by Pizza Some games I forgot to add to my recently finished games list in my first post in this thread. I will probably add more later :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Veins Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 The Last of Us has an unsatisfying, cliche story? The ending and characters alone set it apart from other post-apocalyptic stories, IMO. Very engaging and really makes you think.Red Dead Redemption is the best story I've had the joy of playing through in a game, hands down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very engaging and really makes you think.Red Dead Redemption is the best story I've had the joy of playing through in a game, hands down.Yes.. The Last of Us has these problems, maybe you haven't seen the "the world can be saved - and this person is the cure, protect this person and make sure the mission is completed" story before? I sure have, in movies, games etc. Really? Exaclty what makes Joel and ellie and the rest so special that we haven't seen many Times before in Other media? Oh yeah.. I have never seen the Main character's loved one die before.. Sure. Oh i have never seen character (ellie) get too emotionally attached to the Other Main character (Joel) even Though to him, this is no More than just a mission/job. And later he finds out that he Actually likes her and cares for her and does not want her to die or the World to taket her.. Yes these standard cliches have not been used before.. Amazing writing Here.. Never seen this a hundred times before.. You want me to give references? DO i have to? ^^i'm not Trying to insult or ridicule you or be mean to you or your opinion. But those Are My feeling regarding the story. Now, can you recommend me something Else or not? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cless Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) There are a few JRPG's and RPG's I could recommend. Then again, not sure if these really interest you, seeing as the games you played are mostly action games and such.Star Ocean 2Any Fire Emblem games that have been brought over to the US (Although if I have to pick ONE to start with I'd go with Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)Most Tales Of games, but I'd suggest you start with Tales of Symphonia 1 (don't play the sequel) and/or Tales of The Abyss.There are many more that I can think of but then again I don't wanna waste your time reading a long post of JRPG's/RPG's that you maybe aren't in to :P Edited June 11, 2015 by Cless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story) and tales of symphonia (not Really My typer of jrpg story..) long time a go on Gamecube :) I have heard of Star ocean games, never tried them Though. Not saying that I don't i don't like jrpg stories. Two of My all time favourite ones Are Breath of fire 3 and 4 (especially 4 Which was Amazing!) Any Other suggestions?i have completed many games With a great story, the list that I wrote was just the ones that I finished recently.

Wanglord Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Witcher 3. Never seen sidequests intertwine so seamlessly with the main plot before, and the writing is outstanding. Kept me hooked for 60 hours, and even when it ended I wanted more. Great plot, FANTASTIC characters that seem genuine and choices that actually matter. It also avoids the tropes of "choose your dialogue/actions" games like Mass Effect by not having a clear "good" and "bad" option - you just simple pick the option you think is the right call in the situation. There's no attributes tied to consistently picking X type of dialogue choice etc. Best game I've ever played, hands down.The Metal Gear Solid series is also superb, but you have to pay attention to avoid getting completely lost as the plot is confusing as fuck. How they somehow managed to wrap it up in a satisfying way in Metal Gear Solid 4 I'll never know, but holy shit did that deliver the answers to the questions fans had been asking for the first 3 games.

Also the Controls Are not friendly :( i also have the Witcher 2 assassin's of kings enhanced edition on Xbox 360, still unboxed. It's so hidden on My Shelf that i forgot that i had it. But i should start With 2 before I go to 3? Does the story connect With each game or does this not matter?i Actually finished metal gear solid (very very Nice story!) a long time ago, and then metal gear solid 4 Guns of the patriots (not Amazing but pretty good!). But 2 and especially 3 is Really Good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 - Mass Effect Series - RDR - Arkham City - Walking Dead Season 1 - Uncharted Series - Mass Effect Series (finished all in the series except nr 3 and its DLC. unfortunatley I have already seen the extended and non-extended endings of 3 and there is almost no point in playing it anymore, or do you think that I should still play the story, even though I already know the ending. Will I still enjoy the story? or is it "ruined" for me now?)- RDR (meh story, nothing really special.. Although I might try the undead dlc, maybe there is some good story bits in there?) - Arkham City (finished already and the harley quinn dlc. Loved the story and I am huge batman fan) - Walking Dead Season 1 (finished already and the 400 days dlc. Season 1 was good, NOT great! But, it had a good solid story) - Uncharted Series (finished all of them except golden abyss. first one was good ol'l adventure fun, the second one was the same but better. The third one.. holy moly.. you call that a villian? most boring non-threathin' villian I've experienced in a trilogy, in a long time. it's crazy how the writers could go from an amazing big bald nasy angry bad guy of uncharted 2 to an eldery 60 year old skinny short woman that dies with a very unsatisfying death and her righthand man was more of a villian, mysterious and scarier than her.. uncharted writers, what were you thinking?! and the relationship buildup between sully and nathan was such a miss oportunity.. they could have done so much more and better!) I am playing Uncharted Golden Abyss at the moment, hopefully it has a better story than nr 3.. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought that it had an Amazing story? Nothing wrong With that, but the reason I am Asking you why skyrim is because the game is Really long..

Played the second one but did not finish (don't remember why) but i Will try to look in to it again.any Other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid. Best two story games ever.Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood had really good stories! Especially Brotherhood! Assassin's Creed Revelations was "okay" but after Brotherhood I expected that level of storytelling, and I did not receive that in Revelations.. I have not played Assassin's Creed III, IV Black Flag or Unity yet, so no spoilers please :) Oh yeah, Metal Gear Solid had a really good story, yes indeed!

Beyond: Two Souls story was..meh.. it had a nice premise, and a good setting and a lot of potential but the reveal/twist came way too late, almost the very last cut-scene, which kind of ruined all that build-up for me. At least with Heavy Rain, the reveal came a bit before the final segment of the game and that made it more exciting and fulfilling especially when you as the player was trying to figure out who the murderer is the whole time, which made it even more awesome! Anyway, that was my reactions of those two games. Grand Theft Auto 4... also another "meh" story. Nothing we haven't seen before in movies or other media. And really not a story I am going to always cherish and remember, like other good games with greater stories. Little bit afraid if Tales games. I finished Tales of Symphonia back on gamecube a long time ago. But the problem I had with that game was that it was waaaaaaaaaay too long and draggedo out, by the end, it made me want to just finish it quickly rather than enjoy the story, I got that "Jeeez can we get this over with already.. enough! I just want to finish it and move on to another game now, please!" I actually have Infamous First Light, and Infamous 1 and 2, but I guess I need to start with 1 first, in order to "get the full story". I really hope Far Cry 3 is not another good guy helping a group/people vs a bad guy and his army of bad guys type of typical cliché story.. ? I love South Park the tv-show, so I will most probably really enjoy the game. I will check out your other games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
