Alright I did some searches and the only thing I found was a thread here:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=791968&highlight=best+story
So props the OP of that thread, but that was 3 years ago! Lets get some opinions on the "Best Story" in video games.
Rules:
You can not list a series. For example: Final Fantasy series. You can however list Gothic 1 and Gothic 2. If you do this please state if it is a requirement to play Gothic 1 before Gothic 2 for example
NO SPOILERS!!!
It is optional, but state what you liked about the games. Remember NO SPOILERS!!!
Alirght so here is some games I have came up with:
1. Dreamfall:Longest Journey PC - The Longest Journey is not required to play Dreamfall. Best voice acting in any video game I have seen. The story line combines fantasy with sci fi and different story paths for more than one character.
2. Final Fantasy X PS2. The emotion present in this RPG is unlike anything I have seen in an RPG. The dialogue can be cheesy at times, but the ending is what did it for me. One of the best endings I have seen in a video game.
3. Metal Gear Solid 3 PS2. MGS1 and MGS2 not required, but very helpful. MG3 probably had the best storyline in all the MGS series in my opinion. The story line starts off slow and really dives into strange/messed up by midway. Again with FFX the ending and last 2 hours of gameplay really pay off. Not only do you feel like you are in a movie, but the ending ties together many loose ends.
I will list more later.
