Nominate the absolute worst storyline in a videogame that didn't make a lick of sense and was just plain bad....

I nominate Final Fantasy IX...

*shudders*

Good gameplay though....

JToTheP
Resident Evil Survivor Series
Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Mega Man X6, (I knew X6 was the left-overs of X5, but I thought that wouldn't be TERRIBLE left-overs.)
Dark Cloud Saga. (Hate both games, the breaking weapons so aggrivating, I'm glad two was a present and I didn't buy it.)

That's all I can think of for right now.

I don't know, I mean the story wasn't that bad and I enjoyed both games.

DarkC
Pretty much anything with the words "Super Mario" in it.

WrathfulDwarf
Double Dragon...basically the same premise as any other fantasy adventure game...fight the gangs...defeat the boses...finish the main boss....rescue the girl.

It was fun I'll admit...

BlaxicanTroller
Most FPS games.

Halo, mainly, WAYYYY to cliche.

Tetris, Pacman etc...

lol I love how they made Mickey go all badass when Goofy was knocked out but the storyline I felt was pretty good besides the beginning with Roxas which was amazingly ghetto.

I don't think so man. Halo didn't get as deep into the plot as Halo two but the whole idea of halo and how it was meant to destroy the floods food supply was decent. I mean the whole device destroys galaxy thing is cliche but once it gets deeper into the plot and you discover more on the covenant then it's not really at all cliche

and super mario, because the plot never changes.....

I would have to agree with Halo. Wasnt too exicting, in my opinion.

You cant really nominate Super Mario...its a platforming game, its meant for gameplay, not story. If anybody in this world has ever bought an super mario game for the story, they should stop playing videogames.

Off the top of my head, I would say the Jedi Knight games. Or the Need for Speed Underground Series.

NineCoronas
Jedi Knight II.

Though Halo's story is the best I've seen in a FPS, especially the backstory to it.

DarkC
Red Alert.

MadMel
hmm....nearly every game ive played had a decent storyline, or didnt require one (mario), escpet black and white 1...its an awesome game, but i didnt really like the ending, where the creature starts shrinking and since there is a bug in the game, it never stops, even if you beat the game, and i never liked the whole creed thing in general

NineCoronas

I think Half-Life's is alot better. Atleast it gives some sort of surpraise to the story.Was this backstory included in the game, or the books?
I think Alien Vs Predator 2 has a very good storyline, NOFL series, FEAR.

SaTsuJiN
FF8... "whoa.. we're all from the same orphanage... OMG.. monsters are coming from the moon! eek!"

Guy, I've beaten it many times. And the only reason I say cliche is because its been done before.

Heres what the advertisement was for the first Halo on EGM magazine:



You are alone, outnumbered, and outgunned. You have a massive arsenal at your disposal and you'll need everything you've got to stop a relentless foe. Can you survive?


HALO








Like they don't say that in EVERY FRIGAN FPS GAME!!

If you go off that summary, then yeah, I'd say the Halo storyline is pretty damn cliche. Too bad it has almost no relevance to the plot.

I find that people who say the Halo plot is cliche, or has been done before, never really understood it in the first place. erm

Smasandian
Nonbody understood the first game's storyline if they didnt like it?

Umm no.. they're isnt too much to not understand. Everything is answered for you, no surpraise at all and somewhat resembles the movie Aliens. It was decent but overally great.

Well Halo 2 really got more in depth with the story, mostly thanks to you playing as the Arbiter. You no longer see the Covenant as an alien race out to kill all but more as a religious race that thinks they are doing right.

Worst Video Game Storyline I would have to give it to Final Fantasy V.

Oh and by the way no one plays Mario for the story. They play Mario games because Mario always have a fun game when Myamato (sorry for spelling) is in charge of it.

I still like Half Life's story. Ah well, different tastes.

No, a lot of stories just seem to have been put together over night. Some people still put time and effort into creating a story. The story line isn't all they should worry about but how they execute it.

And most people don't play Halo for the story but for the online and multi-player

I tell you something me and my brother played Halo: Combat Evolved since the day it came out and we still play it some today. those 3-4 years before Halo 2 came out you could find us playing that. And we didn't play campaign that much. We got a few Xboxs together and all our friends and have Halo parties.

Well, i gotta counter argue the super mario thing cause mario RPG had one of the best storylines ever.

as for bad storylines-
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Final Fantasy I-simply cause the time travel thing is sooo confusing
Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight
Megaman 5
Megaman 6
Megaman and Bass (the GBA version, the BS version had a cool one but was a crappy game)

there's nothing worse than a game that is cheap rip-off of another.

Sin Harvest
Mario RPG was fun. I also liked Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, that was a fun RPG.

But really Sonic has been trying to over complicate the story on consoles but with the handhelds he keeps it simple and that's what makes Sonic cool. Simple story and fun gameplay.

Robotnik tries to destroy the world and Sonic stops him. Really that's all the story we need for Sonic.

JToTheP
I like Mario RPG, and the M&L saga a lot more then paper Mario. In Paper Mario the sidekicks aren't even allies, they are just there to take hits. (or so I saw.) This year it's 10 years old, and when it can be downloaded off Wii's Wi-Fi I will be so joyous! eek!

Scorpion_Master
yeah Mario Rpg is FUN!!!

I got to the last boss on emulator stick out tongue he is HARD!!!!

How about Superman 64 for the Nintendo 64? Terrible graphics, sad storyline and in fact it could be considered one of the worse games of all times. Sad day for Superman.

Metal Gear Solid 2.

Great premise, entire story fell apart when Raiden came into the picture. I'm not going to argue a damn thing, but that girly boy ruined the entire game for me. The only thing that made me replay it on every difficulty was the gameplay, which is also why I bought Twin Snakes.

Raiden is a terrible character who complained alot, and almost made me not have any interest in the series at all anymore.

I felt the same way when i played that p.o.s. and then in mgs3 you played as big boss it was a rent at best but i cant wait to play mgs4 !

I beg to differ, I think The Boss is the best character in the series, and I see Big Boss as better then Snake.

Eva, Ocelot, and Otacon (except his back story made me cringe in 2, ) as the best NPCs IMO, and the bosses in one and three were so much better drawn out, their stories and such. I like how Eva was Eve in 3, and the twist at the end. Ocelot was so much better in his youth and 1, before that crappy pathetic twist in 2.

MGS4 should be good if done right, and I hope Raiden is sent to hell with his Grey Fox wannabe outfit.

Aquaman the Fight for Atlantis. That has to be the WORSE game ever.

I liked Yoshi's Island better, but Story was okay to. The plots of both were basically everything you'd expect from a Mario game with tweaks to differ as a prequal. Luckily baby Mario became "super" and ran on walls and ceilings, or I'd of hated him completely. stick out tongue

Red Superfly
Halo 1 & 2

Load of old rubbish. The plots are seemingly epic but the game reminds me of a shitty saturday morning cartoon at times.

Sums up the game series as a whole: a load of wank, made by wankers, wanking off, for wankers.

(I'll get so flamed for this, but yeah, shouldn't you Halo fanboys be wanking somewhere?)

New Zelda games. They basically haven't changed the storyline since Zelda 1. You go to some temples, do something with the Triforce, and stop Ganon.

Does that make them bad story lines? laughing out loud we dont even know if Ganon will be in TP or PH

Considering it hasn't changed in like 20 years...yes. You go to some temple and defeat Ganon/dorf and it usually involves the finding of a mystical sword and some enchanted arrows. It does get old after a while.

No, no, no. The gameplay and dungeons is fun. Solving those puzzles just to advance to the next room while fighting dangerous enemies. Legend of Zelda is still a fun game.

Sonic (consoles) try to make these huge stories that end up making no sense at all. Shadow the Hedgehog for example; 10 different endings and they all suck! 1 super ultimate ending that leaves you lost and confuse!

Scorpion_Master
Wow thats lol!

Well the master sword IS part of Zelda. It DOES seal away evil afterall. The Light Arrows are the exact opposite of Ganon's Darkness and desires that is why they are so effective. That is what Zelda is, and cannot be entirely changed. Maybe presented in another form, but not removed entirely.

This is the Worse Storyline thread. I am not mocking the game itself. I love the Legend of Zelda but the storyline isn't anything special today. It's the same old stuff you witnessed on the NES, SNES, N64, and so on.

Well yes I know what the thread is, but it isn't an entire Role-Playing game. Zelda does have RPG elements, but it is an Adventure game, so of course they premise won't change massively.

Sin Harvest
Why are you talking about Zelda being an RPG now? I'm confused.

JToTheP
Because RPGs are known for having such engrossing storylines, and sequals or further entries into an RPG series can modify or completely change elements around.

Ban Mido
The Madden franchise....I never really got the story behind those games....it's almost like they don't have one...yeah it's that bad.

Sin Harvest
Originally posted by JToTheP

But Zelda is an adventure game which relies on quests of all the sorts to keep you engaged to the story; not really the story itself.

JToTheP
blink The plots of LTTP, Link's Awakening, Oracle saga, and OoT had me interested until the very end. I don't know about you, but the plots, and collecting whatever had to be collected always did it for me. Even if they did it in every entry, that IS what it was to get the Master Sword, even in it's different forms. So I don't see how that makes a poor storyline.

Four Swords
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Twilight Princess
The Wind Waker
Phantom Hourglass
The Legend of Zelda
The Adventure of Link
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons

Worst storyline ever : Devil May Cry III

Are you serious Who? Kid? That entire trilogy had a pretty good plot in every game to match the great gameplay. You need to expand your horizons a bit I'd say if you think DMC has bad plots.

You got a point. I forgot about Devil May Cry I and II. Their stories also SUCKED.

Don't get me wrong, I loved playing DMC (not the second however), but geez, story wise it was rubbish.

DMC III : oh oh, a giant tower has appeared in the city, this looks like a job for Dante (rest of the story involves kicking and shooting demons and climbing the tower). Then there is some blah blah about his brother and that's it.

Great...

If you can't accept the fact that people have other opinions, you don't belong to a forum.

And why do you bring up Metal Gear Solid ? And Final Fantasy ? Is this your way of proving something ?

Whatever. It's not like you've countered something I said. Until proved otherwise : DMC III has a lame, uninspired and short story. Live with it.

KOTOR2's story was lame indeed.

And yeah people are gonna say "but the game was rushed and the ending wasn't finished blah blah blah"...the story was identical to the first one, it just was far more boring. I got barely a quarter through it when I gave up and quit because I was just simply so damn bored with it. That's definitely not due to the ending being messed up, it's just due to it not being a great game.

Oh yeah, that's not similar to the first at ALL.

...or it's dead-on identical, with only the little details differing.

Still a crap game with a lame story.

It was mind-numbingly boring. Not that the first game was the perfect game everyone made it out to be - it's only good at best - but you'd expect the sequel to be at least as good.

I wouldn't go so far, but I agree, Final Fantasy 9 doesn't belong in this thread.

Haven't played Kingdom Hearts 2 yet, but the first one was story wise not extremely impressive, to put it very mildly. Fun game though.

Are you mad? The structure of the plot is identical to the first one!

it is one of the worst lapses in creative thought ever seen in a game into which so much effort went.
