Hey Guys..

I think the best story line was given to the game HALF LIFE because after fighting all those crap monsters u go to the man who send u to do this and boom u find hes the one doing this.

I honestly cannot name any game as my absolute favorite... I was moved by a lot of games stories and endings, but which was the best ever? I can only say one thing for sure... I am not considering Half-Life! Not because it was bad (I believe it has probably the best story for a ego-shooter ever), but rather because I am more into games where the story takes a greater part of the game. So I would probably finally chose an RPG from square-enix or the Koudelka/Shadow Hearts series ^-^.

i think the best storyline in a series of games would be Final Fantasy , lots of different stuff going on in it, like a entire different world full of like replacements for everytihng in our world , the storyline must have taken time to all write up.


half life i havent played yet so i wouldnt know lol




Jeed.

I think MAybe The GTA Series are with very good story line :>

3 - Kingdom Hearts. the entire series so far (proper sequels, completely linear)

2 - Star Ocean. the entire series (they're proper sequels, but not entirely linear)

1 - Final Fantasy... not any of the other games that follow it, the original Final Fantasy. this game for the NES with horrible graphics, and beeps and blips for the sound track, had the best friggin story of any known adventure/rpg game.

"Planescape: Torment" was the best computer game storyline I've witnessed so far. It had great characters that were really fleshed out if you took the time to talk to them and learn about their lives. It had a weird setting that was such a nice place to be after spending so much time in LoTR-style environs like the Forgotten Realms. The story was mature, you know? It wasn't about a great evil enemy threatening the land who our brave heroes would stop, it was about your character and his past actions and the consequences of those actions.

It's a damn shame so few people have played it. It plays fine on modern computers, and can be found easily on p2p sites. Worth checking out if you liked games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Fallout.

In my views best ever

PC game: FreeLancer by Microsoft/Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
N64 - Mario Cart / Zelda (that was a long time)
PS1 - Syphon Filter/ FFVIII/Resident Evil
PS2 - FFX/ FFX2/Resident Evil
PSP - NFS Most Wanted

And you guys are right its hard to choose for the best.
Being playing video games since about 20 yrs now.
Played half-life also. Was just a game I completeled.
I like Commandos Series and Hitman Series too.
But I still like the ones i have wrote above.

Actually I went to this video parlour to play PS1/PS2 when i didn't got those consoles myself. And the shop owner didn't had memory card. So i used to play Resident Evil from the start every damm day. when no cheats/cracks.
I was the 1st to end resident evil 1 & 2 - continously + without save in my state in india. I was the 1st to end Tomb Raider 1 but i miss on the 2nd.

I got tomb raider - Angel of darkness + Legends in PS2 now, But i haven't even finished angel of darkness. Life got busy i guess.

Well keep your best games coming here.

Hm... tie between StarCraft, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

SC's story and characters really drew me in and I really loved the entire plot, start to finish.

KOTOR has the distinction of being the ONLY video game ever to have a twist that I didn't see coming.

I know people will jump on me "OMG FF7 FANBOI LOLZ" for saying this, but I still think Final Fantasy 7 had one of the best storylines, among all the games I played. I mean, sure, it's confusing, but Neon Genesis Evangelion also has a confusing plot, but that doesn't make it a crappy animé.

Well I think Final Fantasy, they all rule, and of course Legacy of Kain

Final fantasy just has a stoy so cool, altough I don't know why, and Legacy of Kain has a very good storyline and characters (I really like Raziel )

Def Jam Fight for NY. (console)

No, not really. I personally don't think that the GTA series have a good storyline.
Something like Final Fantasy has a good storyline, HAlf-Life I played the demo and the start of it sounded pretty good, anyway.

Off the topic, a game that has a bad storyline is Halo. Like seriously, some random Halo thing that houses a whatever blah blah I actually didn't finish the game cause I got bored of it... Anywayyyyy yeah.
