Games with great stories.

(1/3) > >>

castletonsnob:
Video game stories have come a long way since the "Defeat the villain and save the princess" days.

What games would you say have great stories? I got all 5 main endings for NieR: Automata, and WOW, what a rollercoaster that game is.

telekill:
All the Uncharted games.
Mass Effect trilogy
Tomb Raider 2013
AC 2, Syndicate and Unity
Resident Evil (og or Remake)

Shenmue would be added if it had an ending.
FF7 may be added after I've had the chance to beat the Remake trilogy.

ferraroso:
I'll avoid story-driven RPGs as they are unfair competition to most other genres:

- Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
- Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
- Back to the Future: The Game
- Ghosbusters: The Video Game
- God of War (2018)
- Marvel's Spider-Man
- The Metal Gear series as a whole
- Metal Wolf Chaos (for the absurdity of the plot)
- The King of Fighters '95 to '97
- Spec Ops: The Line

and the game with the best end screen message of all time:

Enduro Racer on the Master System

The message:
"Enduro" is a symbolic journey through life via the media of a race.
The results are insignificant and what really counts is competing. Of particular importance are the lessons to be learned concerning one's self from the various encounters you experience along the way.
There is no victor or loser in this test of endurance. The only thing that matters is that you make a commitment to begin the long and trying trek.
This game is then dedicated to all of the "life riders" who have started out on the solitary trip to find their own individual limits.
Last, but not least, may we sincerely congratulate you on a perfect run.

wartoy:
Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver series this story spans 5 games and 2 console generations with 2 main characters each having a lead role in their own respective game. The first starting with Kain then the second with the Soul Reaver (Raziel) the 3rd game with Kain again the 4th with Raziel until in the final game where you alternate between the two.

Allen Wake is another favorite.

alligo:
Kingdom Hearts.

No I'im kidding.
