Best Story

[RiseToFall]

I don't know about everyone else but I love a good storyline to go with the game I'm playing. With a great storyline you get sucked into the games world and you just never want to put it down.

So what game do you guys think has the best storyline. It could be any game, RPG, action, adeventure, any game you can think of.

For me I would say the Metal Gear Solid series storyline interest me the most. I know I'm kinda cheating by including the whole series but it all ties together into one big story.

Other Nominees: BG&E, FFX, FFIX, Oddworld: Strangers Wraith, Grandia and more.

A Little Off Topic: I know some people will hate me for saying this, but am I the only one who thinks that Nintendo really doesn't include good interesting storylines with their games, well maybe a few here or there. But if you look at Metroid or even Zelda the storylines in these games are kind of lacking.

Final Fantasy X comes to mind first, although Final Fantasy Tactics also smurfed with my mind too. Star Ocean 2 was awesome too.

Nobody expected me to say Xenosaga here.

I'd say the whole series of Legacy Of Kain games have a damn good story. I agree with you also, Grandia does have a good story :)

Chrono cross

FFX and Kingdom Heats
Well, just about any SE game. Especially FFVII FFX KH and Threads of Fate (Rue's side)

[Jowy]

Metal Gear Solid and Suikoden have some of the best stories that I've seen in games.

Mega Man Battle Network 3 gave me chills

I'm quite intrigued by the entire Zone of the Enders series as well, having seen the anime move/series and played the GBA and PS2 games.

Metal Gear takes the cake though

I'd say the whole series of Legacy Of Kain games have a damn good story.

Yes.

Killer7's story is (so far, I'm only like four chapters in) wonderful - a great mix of psychological horror and political thriller. It's a genre mix that you wouldn't think would go well together, but they make it work.

MGS has a sweet story, too, just from what I've played, though I wish at times they would stop telling it so I could play the game. On another Konami note, the Castlevania storyline is fascinating, as well.

My favorite, though, is easily the Half-life story. In a normal playthrough, just through NPC interaction, the story seems like just a random thrown-together mess, but when you pay attention to the details (or, um, use a story guide ;D) it all comes together in such a beautiful way to tell this compelling story that I want to love forever.

Deus Ex. No competition as far as I'm concerned.

Planescape: Torment following close behind, though.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid

[Ouch!]

Final Fantasy Tactics, hands down.

[Madame Adequate]

A lot of the best have already been mentioned. Deus Ex, Suikoden, FFX, the Chrono series, and the Legacy of Kain series come to mind.

Warcraft pre-WoW, too. XIII comes to mind, the resolution in sequels will be important though.

One of my absolute faves is also Star Ocean 3. <333

Did anyone else play Beyond Good and Evil and Oddworld: Strangers Wraith. Those are two very underrated games with great story lines that every should check out. Just a tip for all the people who haven't played them yet.

GRAN TURISMO 4!!!!

Seriously:
FFVII
FFX
Silent Hill 2
There are others,but these in my opinion really stand out.
