    Not to hog this as a Bioshock thread but considering we were discussing it.
    For anyone that wants to know; I picked up the NTSC version of the Ultimate Rapture Edition on EBay in the US (Pal version is extremely rare).
    Tested it today and to note it works on PAL x360 consoles.

    It includes the Survivor difficulty, New Game+ mode and a new game mode that was included in the PS3 version.
    Also includes Bioshock 2 & all of the DLC content.

    I'm hoping it's going to be supported via backwards compatibility also which is released sometime next week on X1.

    Maybe with the combat being more like Jade Empire than letting the computer and hidden dice rolls do the combat for you.
    Maybe Force Unleashed in combat and KOTOR out of combat.


    Even if they did a prequel that featured the much talked about(in game) Mandalorion Wars where Revan and Malak were Jedi it would be amazing

    From what I've heard they have pretty much patched The Old Republic into a single player, you can do pretty much anything on your own.

    I'm still shocked how they could screw up KOTOR to the extent they did.

    I'd still need a computer or advanced laptop plus the subscription to play though wouldn't I?

    A topic for another thread I'd say but KOTOR story blew me away and I enjoyed the gameplay elements of the second one.
    Though the story didn't pack quite the same punch, in my opinion at least.

    Great plot and story? Easy, the Legacy of Kain series (if that's what you're into). The games still play well to this day, having only gone through them again recently as i got the entire series on GOG for about €5. I still recommend them to every gamer i know.

    LA Noire was all story but the was let down by the playability.


    It's still hard to beat The Last of Us when it comes to a great game with a great story.

    I also enjoyed the storyline and character development in Far Cry 3

    They may be old but Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and it's sequel Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast have nice stories in them. Obviously narrative in games has come on a lot since, but these two feel very much in the spirit of the original films.

    I'll get lynched here...but the story in The Last of Us was just average.
    The character interaction and development was brilliant, absolutely fantastic.
    But the overall main story arc....was average and nothing special.
    There's a virus, there's a cure/someone is immune , they have to get them to the right place....I know that's way oversimplifying it...but it's basically it.
