What is the best story driven game?

[david02]

Hi,

what in your opinion is the best story driven game and why?

[DorisInsinuate]

Counter-strike, the story just strikes me as very topical.

[Workcheese]

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole for the C64, quite literally a story that the player reads, making the odd decision along the way for our fictional protagonist.

[cpt_azad]

Half Life (1 and 2)
Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)

The winner obviously:



The Halo Trilogy

[GepperRankins]

either half-life 2 or halo 1. even though the flood kinda ruin it

[JordoR]

I still like the classic story of Zelda for N64. Such an in-depth game.

But yea definately Counter-Strike is up there too :lol:

[cpt_azad]

either half-life 2 or halo 1. even though the flood kinda ruin it

Say whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? The Flood was the mystery to halo, they weren't even mentioned in the book/guide for the game, I loved it cuz it was a nice touch. What wasn't a nice touch was the level "Library" :dry:

[Formula1]

Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 10 :)

You guys do realise that the story for FF7 made no sense whatsoever?

FF7 had an awesome story, and it makes sense unless your to dense to understand it.

Ps- I also vote for counter-strike, The story was so awesome it was like it wasn't even there.

Are you being ironic?

The storyline for FF7 was incoherent, full of plot-holes and patently ridiclous (as well as making no sense). I rate FF7 as one of my favourite games of all time but I am under no illusions as to the story of the game being any good.

[Monkeee]

I'd have to say

Fahrenheit AKA Indigo Prophecy

[silent h3ro]

The Halo Trilogy
[/QUOTE]
Hell yea!:D :D

Oh and Counterstrike too, I agree with u guys. :P

[JordoR]

Counterstrike :O ... what a story line.

You get to play the game in the perspective of either a Counter-Terrorist or Terrorist solider, and occassionally even a V.I.P.

Counter-Terrorists:

Depending on what location you are playing at you either have the priviledge of rescuing hostages and taking them back to a safe house. However, certain locations require you to guard a possible bomb target and if said bomb does get planted, you have to use all your knowledge to try and defuse the bomb.

Terrorists:

These soliders are supposedly the "bad" guys, but they're just doing their job. Protecting captured hostages until their demands are met, or attacking a bomb target based on location. Sometimes they are even called upon to eliminate a V.I.P. before the Counter-Terrorists can safely evacuate this person.

Overall, what a great story in this amazing game:lol:

[peat moss]

Theres a story to games ? Sorry I just like the shoot em up ones but Halo would be my choice .

I'm with you on that one cheese

[Shiranai_Baka]

Advent Rising. DEFINITELY a must-play, too bad they've halted the project for the last two parts of the trilogy.

[SirGray]

Ya I agree Advent Rising, Is very good and a must.

[Skillian]

Max Payne held my interest - that's about as good as most games can expect.

The story in FF7 was nonsense (and very very bad). Fact.

[Formula1]

and how far did yohu actually get into this game?

[Seedler]

Half-life series without a doubt.

[Workcheese]

and how far did yohu actually get into this game?

I've completed it three times, I didn't say the game was bad (in fact in one of my posts in this thread I said I rated it as one of my all time favourite games). However, the story really does suck, it's a mess.

Same thing with most of the Final Fantasy games to be honest.

[Wrcshare]

Blackkkkkkkkk

The Search for Monkey Island...humour, plot and action all in one great game.
