Best Storyline in a game

i found bioshocks story be boring because it didnt appeal to me. but i have no problem with people thinking otherwise.

Is it the "ZOMG! There's sum MUTHAFAWKING aliens and shit over there BUSTING SHIT UP! Kill those niggas NOOOOOOW!"

There is little to no depth to Halo's plotline at all in the games, people like to call out SUBJECTIVE when they have a shitty opinion, and that is what it is, a shitty opinion. Just like how someone thinking an Uwe Boll movie is the best movie ever has a worse opinion than someone thinking that The Godfather is the best movie ever.

I'm not insulting you or anyone else, we all have guilty pleasures, but to claim that Halo has the BEST plot in a videogame? That is borderlining on objectively wrong.

so whats so appealing about MGS's plot? is it the "ZOMG! THERES SUM MUTHA****ING SPIES AND SHIT OVER THERE BUSTING SHIT UP! KILL THOSE NIGGAS NOOOWW!" ?

or maybe fallout 3?

ZOMG! THERES SUM MUTHAFAWKING MUTANTS AND SHIT OVER THERE BUSTING SHIT UP! KILL THOSE NIGGAS NOOOOWW!"

or maybe bioshock?

"ZOMG THERES SUM MOAR MUTANTS AND ROBOTS OVA THERE BUSTING SHIT UP! KILL THOSE NIGGAS NOOOWW!"

you can over oversimplify anything until its story becomes pointless and cliche.

There is little to no depth to Halo's plotline at all in the games,

i agree. same with mgs and all those other "plot heavy games". theres no depth at all its just action movie cliches.

no. theres plenty of depth. you just have to be able to see it. its not my fault the only thing you see when you look at halo is stuff blowing up.

but to claim that Halo has the BEST plot in a videogame? That is borderlining on objectively wrong.

you cant ever be objectively wrong when it comes to taste. ever.

you should try to be less judgemental about things.

Fallout 3 was known for having a great plot? News to me. It had a decent plot, but the game is not considered to be plot-heavy at all, its main goal was immersion into the world, not a plotline.

You see, the huge difference is that Halo's plotline is little more than what I said. Halo 1 had little plot, Halo 2 had a decent plot, being the only one that tried to, and Halo 3 just said "**** it" and just reverted back to Halo 1's "KILL t3H ALIENZZZZ!!!" plotline.

Bioshock actually has a good plotline, it is able to hold a level of depth without becoming needlessly convoluted, something most games cannot say.

MGS only having action movie cliches? Overrated as it may be, MGS still retains a signifigant level of depth in its plotline, although the plot is needlessly convoluted.

Oh? HUMOR ME. Point out the so-called "depth." And please do not bring up how it is a display of humanity's struggle for survival and that BS, heard it before, it's a constantly used concept, only Halo has nothing else to keep it interesting.

Sure you can.

Someone saying that the acting in Uwe Boll's Alone in the Dark for instance is objectively wrong.

youre really going to try to say that mgs is objectively more "interesting" then halo? "intresting", one of the most absolute relative phrases that exists?

since it at the very least has a good cast of characters who you can give a shit about. Other than Johnson and Cortana(And that is mostly because she is oddly sexy), is there a SINGLE character you can claim to give a shit about? Sure, Arbiter and Chief are pretty badass and cool, but nothing special about them at all.

i did actually care about johnson and the chief especially. arbiter as well. i did not give a shit about any of the characters in MGS as i played through it.

is little more then what you said according to what you see. when i read your description of the plot and the themes i noticed you left out a lot about it.

and please dont bring up that crap about mankinds foolish attempts to create perfection and our own human weakness and objectivism and all that BS. ive heard it all before, its a constantly used concept.

Oh? HUMOR ME. Point out the so-called "depth."

and please do not bring up how it displays the negative aspects of war and the pitfalls of loyalty to ones country and that BS ive heard it before. its a constantly used concept only MGS has nothing else to keep it interesting.

Sure you can.

no theyre not.

Just so you know I am not ignoring this post, but it is like early in the morning, and I got school, so I'll answer it later today.

you dont have to do that. you can just say "okay polaski" and buy me a bagel instead. 😄

Still Xenogears.

Xenogears is the rough surrounding the diamond that is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

No JRPG can match the glory that is Eternal Darkness, The Longest Journey, Grim Fandango & Planescape Torment. None.

Too bad Sanity's Requiem was only on Gamecube. I watched a play through on YouTube and it looked like an amazing game with an even more amazing storyline. Sucks that I never got to play it.

Dude, a gamecube is super cheap. You should get it.

I don't think it's worth the money and the bother to get an entire console just to play one game that I already saw being played through and finished.

Ah well, you can't play them all. I'm just glad I was made aware that such an amazing game even existed and that I had a chance to witness it and soak in the brilliant story. Thank the lawd for YouTube.

For me it's:
Legacy of Kain, Planescape: Torment, WarCraft 3, The Longest Journey.
