Most Memorable Game Storyline?

[Slaydon]

Oblivion ^^
and Super Mario 64

Oblivion ^^

No. Just no. Oblivion had a cliched' story which revolves around NPC's as opposed to you.

Yeah, The Old Republic's combat looks... bad. The storyline thing is totally awesome, don't get me wrong. But the way the combat looks... man. The "Deceived" trailer for the game was incredible though.

That's what I've been saying. D:

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

No way! Me too!

 

[wereguy2]

Oblivion has far too many side-quests to have a good story.
And yes, most of the time it is just you helping important people, without being important yourself, unlike in Morrowind

 

[leet.firefox]

Oblivion had a story? I remember something about some guy's kid and his necklace. :|

 

[wereguy2]

Later on, yes it does.
A big red guy attacks the city ^^

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Oh yeah. They REAAAALLY focused on those sidequests! Especially the one where that odd looking old fisherman asks me to collect scales or something or other. Like we haven't seen THAT ONE before.

 

[wereguy2]

D: .
Lol, damn voice-changing beggars

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Oh yeah! I remember that! One second the beggar sounds like she's old as hell, the next she sounds... young? What the hell?!

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I mean re-PIRATED. Jesus... haven't you people been around when I had my "Do you what cause' a pirate is free..." signature and matching pirate avatar?

Because that's such an essential element of pop culture.

To be quite honest, I couldn't get myself to feel all that surprised about the whole Revan thing. It's the original Star Wars twist with minor alterations. Your character is mysterious enough to begin with, and you never actually see Revan's face. Sort of laid out for you there. It's still an OK storry, but I'm really not seeing history in the making. The delivery of the plotline is pretty good, and HK-47 is reason enough to play the game anyways.

It was sarcasm.

The first time I actually played Knights of the Old Republic I was still pretty young, and I didn't really notice anything. Although now that I look back on it after beating it again, there are a few lines of dialogue that hint at something, but I wouldn't have seen it coming (even now).

But then again, I wanted the game to surprise me. I don't like putting the pieces of the puzzle together too early because otherwise it would spoil the excitement and utter disbelief when the truth finally is revealed.

I was being facetious.

Omnomnom

I know.

 

[leet.firefox]

I don't.

BF: BC had an okay story, for a shooter. Just got finished playing through it again.
Grand Theft Auto IV's story was pretty decent, if you could keep track of it throughout.

 

[Zelda.Alex]

FF7

Chrono Trigger

 

[Draknyte1]

chrono trigger ftw

 

[Arowanna]

NOX NOX NOX NOX NOX NOX
Completely and utterly, Nox is a badass game. Storyline rocked. It was hilarious. I so wish someone would make a map (rp or rpg) with nox models and story.

Oh oh oh! Someone agrees with me!
NOX for the win

I still can't wait until that day, when a company
buys the rights for Nox and makes a Nox II!

 

[Slaydon]

no one else remembers Super Mario 64?

 

[Gilles]

We remember, we just aren't sure why it would belong in a memorable storyline thread.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Yeah... the game itself is definitely memorable, but the story is not.

 

[wereguy2]

Pff, it cant get much more epic than Super Mario 64...

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Pff, it cant get much more epic than Super Mario 64...

Yes. Yes it can. Don't get me wrong, Super Mario 64 was epic in it's own right, but I can name a few games that were even more epic. Say... Knights of the Old Republic?

 

[wereguy2]

Lol, stop it with that.
Didnt really like that game, I prefer NWN1

 

[Gilles]

Pff, it cant get much more epic than Super Mario 64...

The title says game storylines. I don't think you can consider Mario 64s storyline the most memorable. I suppose it is since it's extremely short, but this is more about quality.

 

[wereguy2]

That was sarcasm.
And I dont remember it as being short... Maybe it was because I found it so hard

 

[Gilles]

Nah the game was pretty long, and pretty hard for me too. The story is short though. Bowser takes princess, mario rescues princess. The levels don't add much of anything to the story imo.

 

[wereguy2]

You forgot the random compulsive hunting of strange floating stars!

 

[Draknyte1]

i ate them.... so i never got very far...

 

[Cthulus]

I'd say either Fallout 1 or Halo: Combat Evolved.

Halo's storyline was moving, sad and stirred players, and the soundtrack lent much to that. Fallout just had a plain great plot-line and the varying story allowed for many different emotions to set in.

 

[wereguy2]

IT'S ALIIIIIVVVEEEE!!!

 

[Cthulus]

What? :0

 

[wereguy2]

You made the first post in almost 3 months.

 

[Cthulus]

Oooooh.. I forgot to check the dates.. Sorry?

 

[wereguy2]

Meh, it wasn't a necropost, and the thread will probably just die again soon anyway.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Pac Man had awesome storyline.
Hmm, well i think Warcraft 3 and the Jak series.
...And Halo.

 

[ike_ike]

Professor Layton. Yeah, both of them kinda require a slight deviation from reality, but they're vaguely plausible. And entirely awesome.

 

[supertoinkz]

all ff games, they are cool (I have 1-11 now )

 

[Ham Ham]

Final Fantasy 7.
The most awesome thing I ever seen, they should write a book or make a anime series about FF7.

The only annoying things is its ending: Cloud dont gives a quick with Tifa =/

There is a movie, Square Enix own at CGI

 

[Joe-black-5]

I loved FF9 (its under rated) more, it have a more deep and memorable story
I dont know why all people are insane about FF7 I am currently playing it and I noticed characters (the ones that make the good story) like that gun handed guy (Berret I think) that fans dont mention cause all I heard over the years is sephiroth this and cloud that.

 

[Cthulus]

Yeah, what about Biggs and Wedge?! Come on, people!
And FF6 is my favorite installation..

 

[Callahan]

The mythical rpg, Xenogears.
Shocking story featuring adult theme like theology and sociology.
It is one game that is truly instructive and develope many thesis about theologie, sociology and psychology.
There's a strong and stunning critic of the church (the Ethos).
Characters have fascinating personality.
The main character is not your usual candid and ingenuous hero.
It's a schyzophrenic psycho who destroyed his own starting village.
Even FF6 storyline don't match Xenogears.

It never cames out in europe due to his complex and contreversive storyline.

 

[Cthulus]

Hey, I think I played that somewhere.. The name is very familiar, I think I might have a rom of that one.

 

[Ziggen]

Never heard of it but it sounds really fucking awesome.

 

[wereguy2]

Hmm, the name sounds familiar...
