Best Story In A Game

][Spoof Jesus][

What in your opinion is the best plot in a game that you have played?

Shinji

FF7 all the way. A stunning piece of storytelling as much as a stunning game.


Silent Hill ranks in just behind it, and then probably FF9/FF10.

Pugsley

As shinji said,FF7 is un challenged for best story.

Hmmm must actually get round to playing some sort of FF. Everybody keeps goin on about it.

Now that I actually think about it I don't really know, all my favourite games have stupid clichéd plots that sucked, or simply had no plots like Civ.

So I guess Deus Ex, for at least having a plot twist.

FF7 definatley. It was like watching a book come to life....in a game.

Stick me down for another FF7 vote...

Mills

FF9 (My FF7 disc 3 was busted so I never got a chance to finish it), I liked Deus Ex as well, and one or two others that I'll think of later.

Swifty

I'll have to join the FF7 bandwagon.

Ping Chow Chi

FF7 is the best FF I have played

but its Suikoden all the way

Scruff

Going to be completely different and throw Freespace 2 in here.
Before ye all start trying to convince me otherwise, I haven't played FF7 :P

Ok, i love space sims and gerneal dogfight stuff but actulay thought the plot was quite brilliant. Kept me hooked all the way.
And all those capital ships......

TwoShedsJackson

System Shock 1.

tHE vAGGABOND

Shenmue was a decient story..

Max Payne was a good story..

INDIANNA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS - now that was a story!

Vokes

At the risk of being sent loads of hate mail im gonna go with FF8

_CreeD_

Realms of the Haunting/Freespace 2

Saruman

Have to say the Baldors Gate series (all of them) had a great storyline..

Also Deus Ex was very good too!

Pugsley

Is it just me or is the winner seeming increasingly obvious??

tobi

I’d have to say Deus Ex. IMO the most engrossing storyline ever.

Karl Hungus

Well, I'd probably say FF7 also.

But...

Seeing as it goes without say, I'll plump for Planescape: Torment.
Truly fantastic plot. WAY better than the Baldurs Gate games.

Mark

Deus Ex and Freespace 2

D-Generate

Quake
No probably Deus Ex or Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

orangerooster

Freespace 2 or max payne "Noir York city" a classic.

Slosh

For any of you who can remember...

In no particular order Lucasarts...

The Dig,
Loom
Zak McKracken..


3 brilliant games, if a little dated now...

GoneShootin

or another one my LucasArts

OUTLAWS

i liked LOOM myself.

but modern, as to be Max Payne

tman

Max Paynes was pretty good, lasted about as long as a film tho. always thought flashback's story was pretty decent.

Mills

Ah Loom, I think that was the first game I ever played on the PC, came free with our external 2 speed CD ROM drive , and very good it was too, although I don't remember it too well now, didn't it involve playing tunes on your flute at certain points to proceed in the game? I remember being stuck at a set of stairs or something that was all curled up for ages until I realised I had to play a tune backwards to get them to unwind, ah, memories .

Haven't a notion what the story was about tho .

A hefty price to pay for use of his PC methinks.
