Max Payne. That was one nifty plot... :D

Dunno about FF7. Bit weak, especially Aeris' death and the ending.

I liked the plot in Arcanum. Dunno why. It's just very good. Hlaf-life also deserves credit.

I like the Starcrat plot. I'll try to think of some more, too.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

Robots from space have come down and captured ancient Japan, with the intention of turning it into a giant theatrey dancingy thing.

It's genius. Also a very fun game.

Mario...Can it get any simpler? Just kill the evil gaint Turtle and save the princess. Well.....Link is an ongoing one, it makes some sense.... Starcraft is also good.....Killing things that want to assimilate you....Oh well, every game has a good plot, it just depends how you look at it.

OoT!

Beyond Good and Evil. It's somewhat cliched but the entire game made it work perfectly. If you don't own the game, get it right now.

MGS 2, SoL!

Long, but you can tell the writers put some major work into the storyline. I enjoyed it very moy bueno-y

The LEGEND OF ZELDA OCARINA OF TIME.

which game has the best storyline? The game can be from any time period..Personally I think final fantasy 7 has the best story...final Fantasy does have the best story. but I also have to say Fatal Frame is right up there.
then again Chronos Trigger was also interesting.

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time.

:headbang:
how could I forget about Lesure Suit Larry!!!!

best plot ever. you gotta get Laid!!! :D

:headbang:

I'd agree for 1-6, but the last one, Magna Cum Laude, is terrible.

Starcraft has the best plot.

The game with the best story background, though, that would have to be Morrowind.

I'd agree for 1-6, but the last one, Magna Cum Laude, is terrible.Really... never played that one. Last one I played "Passonate Patty's Persuit of the Pulsating Pectorials." Thanks for the warning. :p

another great storyline is the "Phantasmagoria" series. the first Truly "horror" game for the PC. in fact most of Robera Williams Creations Rocked!

I'd say the Persona series, myself. How many games can claim that their plots are based on the writings of pioneering psychologists? Eh? Eh?

Also, yaoi.

Starcraft is pretty good, as I stated earlier, but I get confused who is the good guy. the United Earth Federation, or the original colony peoples. Or the confederates? Or the mining people. Or the Zergs. Or the Protoss. I'm confused.

The Silent Hill plots kick ass...it just sometimes takes a few run throughs to get them, and there are still mysteries for those who have played the game many times.

Silent Hill series.

Any of the Metal Gear games.

Starcraft and Zelda get honerable mentions.

There aren’t any good guys silly. That’s why it rules. Although, if I was to say there was a “bad guy” it’s Duran. If you’ve unlocked the secret mission in Brood Wars, you know what I’m talking about.

I'd say the Persona series, myself. How many games can claim that their plots are based on the writings of pioneering psychologists? Eh? Eh?

agreed. the world has such an incredible amount of depth; every NPC is actually a part of society, every location has a significance, every faction and every town has a history....it just goes on and on. there are even books written about the land's history, and you become a living part of that history as the game progresses. the plot itself is filled with intrigue and it is anything but your typical linear, cliche story of heroism. it's simply incredible.

Super Mario Brothers. Eat mushrooms, get really big, grab the psychadelic flowers, play with fire, beat up turtles, save the princess.

Morrowind is definately incredible. I would still have to say that Destroy All humans has a pretty good plot as well. Weak in some areas, but nonetheless a very unique idea.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
All Metal Gear Solid games

Space Invaders.

Aliens are attacking, in increasingly overwhelming numbers. How many can you blow up before they fucking kick our piddly Terran asses?

Simple. Adequate. Dramatic.

Depressing.

Planescape: Torment was the best plot.
I've also enjoyed The Secret of Monkey Island 1&2.

Deus Ex. not that pansy Deus Ex: Invisible War. the original PC FPS, I mean, come on, a right wing conspiracy (led by FEMA with a new organisation called UNATCO being their primary pawn) has led to America becoming fractured by a deadly plague and terrorism. to make things more complicated, the Majestic 12, Illuminanti, Area 51 scientists and multiple chinese gangs are all major conspiraors trying to take out the FEMA plot and control the earth.

its like every conspiracy theory in one, it even explains the so called "grey's"

Pong.

Pong.
Hell yes. So intriguing. So deep. I logged over 1200 hours in my day :rolleyes:

Final Fantasy VII, hands down. I've never played a game where I wanted to know what would happen next more than in FFVII.

I'd have to say that Psychonauts had a great storyline. It was funny, different, a bit cliché, and involved travelling into other people's brains, all of which had their own subplot in them. Other than that, Wind Waker and the metal Gear Sold series had good storlines as well. I liked the Golden Sun, FFX, and Crono Trigger storlines as well.

Not to mention some very well written books. I couldn’t put down “The Real Barenziah.” Oh yeah, and those weird ass religiuos ones.

I like the MG and MGS plots. I can't wait for MGS4.

Doom III. Wierd scientist dude for some reason is attempting to open a portal to hell on a mars so he can become the leader of hell, mars, and earth. You have to wade through thousands (i actually tallied the amount i killed, it was over a thousand!) of demons/zombies, kill the weird dude, close the portal, then get the hell offa mars. Sides, MARTIAN BUDDY IS AWESOME!

Morrowind
Forgotten Realms Series (its based off of D&D, cant go wrong there!)

You people who thought FFVII had a 'great story' have poor taste.

Deus Ex had a great story, and Final Fantasy Tactics had a fairly good story as well...

There aren’t any good guys silly. That’s why it rules. Although, if I was to say there was a “bad guy” it’s Duran. If you’ve unlocked the secret mission in Brood Wars, you know what I’m talking about.

Duran...ok, so he's the bad guy?

Thanx 4 the spoiler on the very game I'm playing, you a$$!! :mad:

its like every conspiracy theory in one, it even explains the so called "grey's"

But no "Bin Laden is really dead" malarkey... :p

FF6 and FF4 and I liked Xenogears.

Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic

Duran...ok, so he's the bad guy?
Spoiler:
In the secret mission you discover that he is combining the Zerg and Protoss in an effort to finish the job that the creator race did. Also, he has the same name as the scientist who launched the Terran into space that got lost and made the Confederacy. Kind of suspicious.

Oh yeah, good kudos on mentioning this one; I've played it so many times over and still absolutely love the plot. Only wish that the Paul Denton encounter could have been open-ended like almost every other choice in the game.

- Ferrard

...and how far back you want to go.

for old school,i would say THE GUARDIAN LEGEND and the original LEGEND OF ZELDA....

for newer systems,i give the SILENT HILL series two thumbs up. my fav is the first one,even though the graphics are not as good as the ones that came later. it was lonely and creepy. you come into the story after the fact(after the whole town and its citizens have been lost to the darkness)and you have to figure out what the hell is going on.(literally) the game has a sense of dread that i dont think was matched by the sequels. i also like number 3 because it ties in with number one(the girl grows up)and it has awesome sound effects and music. you see Harry die,but you wonder what ever happened to Cybil? if you saved her in part one,then you have to wonder where she went to.....i was disappointed in part 2,and i found part 4 to be annoying and left too many lose ends. im looking forward to part 5 for the PS3.....

Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic

I second that

Indeed it's Planescape Torment, just because it's more of a novel than an actual game. A game of heavy reading and incredible immersion.

Also a honorable mention is Red Alert (1... the sequel was crap).

I mean come the cutscenes were awesome. Stalin ordered you around, and then you conquered Europe and you had a commie parade glorifying Stalin... or I guess you could have played as the Allies...

Halo has a great plot if anyone actually paid attention to it.

You people who thought FFVII had a 'great story' have poor taste.

No you have poor taste...omg what's this called? Oh yeah, opinion!

It is definitely Planescape: Torment. There is just no contest, really. I've played many computer games in my time, with many great stories, but Torment's story is just on a level all its own. Nothing even comes close. Because of this, Torment is still my favourite game of all time, and is likely to be for some time, since Black Isle and Troika no longer exist, and Bioware makes junkware now.

I used to think the Final Fantasy 7 plot was something special, but it's juvenile in comparison.

An honourable mention goes to Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, which I'm replaying at the moment. The the actual main storyline is good, but not mind-blowing. The setting itself, however, and the characters are quite unique.

Halo has a great plot if anyone actually paid attention to it.
Agreed.

Comment on Halo
Agreed.

What is so great about halo is the method of storytelling. The cutscenes are cinematically incredible. And in the middle of the level the radio chatter adds a lot of depth and detail to what is happening around you. In Halo 2 I think they did a great jobh of the radio chatter between the good guy ships where they get all excited about driving off the invaders. And then you look through space to see the spaceshipt you are communicating with and it explodes. It is so detailed and cool.

Knights of the old Republic is awesome. I won't give it away because it is a game that every x box owner should play, but the plot twist was awesome! Plus there aren't many games where you can join the dark side and take over the galaxy.

GitS: SAC=Two Motoko's fighting? Righteous! :D
or...
AC4/5=AC5 had better storyline, but missions seemed similar from AC4.
or...
Firestarter= not a real game, but I wish it was :cool:

Operation Flashpoint, Brothers in Arms, Silent Hunter 3 (because I was able to recreate the attack on Scapa Flow), Rome:Total War (because I was able to be ruthless and still win........for a while at least), and Half Life 1 & 2.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY

Helluva plot, and it's fairly open-ended too. Thank god for RPGs...

my personal fav is Xenosaga

"Mafia" was pretty damn good. It was like watching a movie...and it even had a love scene! ;)

I'd say Silent Hill 2. So far, I haven't played a game with a more adult, psychological plotline than this one. The "Maria" ending was particularily good, and chilling. Sure, the plotline isn't entirely lucid, but...

Morrowind and Eternal Darkness had good plotlines as well. With Morrowind, one really feels as if he is developing his own narrative alongside the overarching storyline, and I loved Eternal Darkness's Lovecraftian bent.

But you really can't beat Fuzion Frenzy for out and out brilliant storytelling.

I'd say there are 3 games with great plots: Planescape: Torment,Baldur's Gate 2 and Fallout. PS:T has a tiny advantage though, as the plot is very original.

FALLOUT.
Bozar me, baby. :sniper:

I don't know how many people have played the new game Indigo Prophecy, but it has an amazing storyline. It was one of the best games I've ever played.

Oh Yeah and Deus Ex ruled as well. I have finished it at least 10 times.

Civ3



which game has the best storyline? The game can be from any time period..Personally I think final fantasy 7 has the best story...

Metal Gear series has an amazing plot definatly could be a movie.

It's in between Fallout 2, System Shock 1, and Deus Ex. Everything else, even supposed RPG's these days, don't really pay as much attention to story as they should.

Civ3

Boom! Headshot!

Sorry, such a good post deserved that.

Starcraft...hands down.

If it would guarantee a well made movie version, I would gladly give up everything I own and go live in a cave somewhere for the rest of my life as soon as I had seen it.

Honorable mentions to Star Wars: KOTR and Max Payne

There IS a rival for Planescape: Torment. Xenogears rivals it of course.

1. Planescape: Torment
2. Xenogears
3. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

Also:
Ogre Tactics
Fallout 1 and 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
Deus Ex

Halo has a great plot if anyone actually paid attention to it.



No you have poor taste...omg what's this called? Oh yeah, opinion!

Kid, it may be an "opinion" that the poster has, but the fact is if one says FF7 has the best plot, the truth is this: they haven't played many video games that have a serious plot focus to begin with. There is to much validity in games like the ones mentioned such as Planescape: Torment and Xenogears having a FAR greater plot than anything FF7 put out.

Final Fantasy X. Hands down.

Planescape: Torment (PC)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GC)
Star Wars: KOTOR (PC)
Star Ocean 2 (PS1)

To name a few. I also love the story of the collective Metroid games.

Fire Emblem

OK, so the plot was pretty basic when compared to other games, but they managed to effectively deliver everything simply through a bunch of talking heads and a couple of stills, from political intrige to assassination to romantic entanglements.

Also, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. And Septerra Core, although mostly predictable, was pretty neat as well.

The Parasite Eve series.

The Parasite Eve series.

Mmm, big government conspiracy, mutating critters, ESP powers, guns, a lady who knows how to use them.

Definitely a classic to most players. ;)

Star Control 2 The Ur-Quan Masters

Without a doubt.

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

FF7 had a good one. Though FF3 had the BEST villian and the longest and best way of the FF series to have it open ended.

FF3 World of Balance - Plot line story
FF3 World of Ruin - Open ended (make your own) story + character backgrounds completed.

It was such a good plot line for FF3 and FF7 played very well with the plot line it had.

Though the best I'd say is FF11. Most open ended and hardest game I EVER played, with a SUPER elaborate background and history that ties so well together that makes a player actually go out of his or her way to investigate fully. You can play knowing as little or as much as you want to know and never following 'strict' guidelines.

Starcraft is pretty good, as I stated earlier, but I get confused who is the good guy. the United Earth Federation, or the original colony peoples. Or the confederates? Or the mining people. Or the Zergs. Or the Protoss. I'm confused.

agreed on starcraft - luna star story also i think

hmmm.. in order of most good to indifferent to evil...

rayners group - he actually was out to fix the world for the most part
protoss - they didnt care one way or the other till it came to their doorstep
zerg before keregan took over.. sp. - just their nature.. no evil intended
united earth federation - no evil intended, just wanted to restore order
the colonies - bickering, actually fighting to create each others downfall
zerg after keragan - she knew what the possibilities were, and chose the absolute worst

Eh...I'd put the UED above the Zerg-pre Kerrigan. At least the UED aren't bent on annihilating and genetically assimillating everything in their path...

...even though that IS the Zergs nature. :p

- Ferrardif you mean the ambush at the 'Ton, it is open ended, Paul only dies if you escape through the window...




BTW honorable mentions for Gabriel Knight 3 and the Baldur's Gate series

starcraft is awesomeDuran...ok, so he's the bad guy?One could argue that...Duran is "a" bad guy because he backstabed...But

after-all...he was infected...the Zerg virus took control of his brain...so he was not really a traitor...

Glad to confuse you even more... :D

I personally like the Halo plot myself, starting with the books.

The Fall of Reach really put into perspective what humanity was challenged with. I mean, seriously. The humans in the Halo series are more along the lines of PMT than FT. The Covenant have the upper hand and, if there hadn't been an uprising of the Sangheili (Elites), Unggoy (Grunts), and Lekgolo (Hunters), they would have wiped the galaxy clean of humanity.

I admit, the Flood are somewhat of a rip-off hybrid between the Zerg and the T-Virus infected zombies of Resident Evil, but the Gravemind really shows what they're capable of by taking control of In Amberclad and literally overrunning High Charity in a matter of hours.

I'm still waiting for the finisher. Halo III will give us an even bigger insight to humanity's fate.

Will the Prophet of Truth be able to activate the Halo System?

Can humanity win even on their home turf?

Will the Flood reach Earth?

Will the Elites and Sgt. Johnson gang-bang Cpt. Miranda Keyes?

Will Cortana stop fingering herself over the Master Chief and finally come up with a way to make herself human and make love to him? Or will she be tentacle raped by the Gravemind?

Will I ever get a life after the Halo series is complete?

Only time, and the next game, will tell...

http://panics.roosterteeth.com/archive/

See Episode 1 and Episode 2. Worth watching.

shenmue series was amazing.

Jet Force Gemini, but only for the ending. That game was fucking hard.



Ocarina of Time was pretty cool too, it rates as my favourite all time game based on first play through.

XIII
awesome and original game with kick arse graphics (cartoon style) and good storyline

System shock 1 and two
Metal Gear Solid
Red Faction

Katamari Damacy all the way.
Dude gets drunk, smashes up the universe, makes his kid fix it by turning people into stars. It just doesn't get better than that. :D

I am more a fan of FF7.
The death of Aeris was SUPPPOSED to happen (the game would have been WAY too simple if she had lived)
Which is why, whenever I see someone still trying to find a way to revive her...... :sniper:

I personally like the Halo plot myself, starting with the books.

I'm waiting for the second Halo to come out on paperback. The only thing that bothers me is that Halo II gives absolutely no acknowlegement to what happened on the Unyielding Heirophant, barely even mentions Reach, and doesn't even mention the other Spartans...ever.

Although you don't even need a plot as long as you have Sgt. Johnson as a character.

Dunno about FF7. Bit weak, especially Aeris' death and the ending.

I liked the plot in Arcanum. Dunno why. It's just very good. Hlaf-life also deserves credit.

Didnt Aeris die about a third of the way in? I loved the ff7 plot, and that twist is the only thing that ever made me cry in a videogame. well except for a terrible quicksave/quickload mix up in half-life. That had a kickass plot too.

agreed, except that FEMA is just as much a pawn of MJ12 as UNATCO is ;)


the game was first released in 2000 :rolleyes:

if you mean the ambush at the 'Ton, it is open ended, Paul only dies if you escape through the window...




BTW honorable mentions for Gabriel Knight 3 and the Baldur's Gate series

The 'Ton ambush was a bit stupid really, even if you killed every enemy Paul still died if you left through the window. Also, Paul was indestructable unless you ran so you could just hide in the cupboard until he killed everyone.

It is a legendary game though, it's just a shame they had to ruin the entire plot in the opening cutscreen. :(

Zelda

FFX had the best IMO...next to it would be FFVIII, and then the Half-Life series.

Deus Ex is great, DE2 is poor, though it does clear up a few things from DE. I do love the original. Why did it take until page 3 for someone to mention it?
Mafia is also great, especially the race. And the ending is awesome too.

[QUOTE=Zolworld] I loved the ff7 plot, and that twist is the only thing that ever made me cry in a videogame. QUOTE]

Dude I cried too...Still do when i replay it....gosh.... :(


Oh and I am suprised to not have seen games like Earthbound(snes), or Legend of Dragoon. I am glad NOT to have seen GTA(good game, no plot) or something along those lines

FFVIII

I just might destroy you...

Easily Starcraft; no if, ands, or buts. None.

Everybody knows that Deus Ex has the best plot EVER... so twisted, so convoluted.

Nobody's said the Chrono series (Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and whatever Chrono game comes next...). What the fuck is up with that?

The fabric of time is tearing itself apart, and you have to find out what's causing it. The original "plot" centers around keeping the future from being destroyed (and wow, does it get destroyed before you come along). As the series progresses, you find that the fabric of time itself is being destroyed, and it's up to you (and your party) to save everyone, and everything.

It's still a lot more complicated... A lot. There's a website, The Chrono Compendium, dedicated to this series' labrynthine plot.

Star Control 2 The Ur-Quan Masters

Without a doubt.

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/


Seconded. Without any doubt whatsoever.


While Arcanum was good too. Just SC2 was perfect

Sam and Max Hit the Road
An suited Dog and psychotic rabbit drive around the US looking for a sasquatch that escaped with a giraffe girl and get captured by a crazy country music singer

Everybody knows that Deus Ex has the best plot EVER... so twisted, so convoluted.
Yes but Deus Ex 2 sucked

Yes but Deus Ex 2 sucked
but that doesn't affect the brilliance of the original :p

It was. Just don't go out the window, and he lives.

My favorite is the .hack series (has anyone else heard of it?), even though it isn't just a game series. The plot just goes everywhere and is so mysterious, you really have to think. It's like the Matrix.
BTW, that is "dot" hack, not just hack-- .hack --(actually Project.hack)

Runner up is the Half-Life series.

Son of a bitch, you mean all I had to do was walk out the door for him to live? I may have to go back and play Deus Ex again.

Son of a bitch, you mean all I had to do was walk out the door for him to live? I may have to go back and play Deus Ex again.

Hey, it's always worth another play. Saving him doesn't change things that much though, you meet him a couple of times but he doesn't do a lot.

I'm glad that someone mentioned Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, that has a pretty damn good plot for a turn-based strategy game. The only game I can think of where you get to become a planet, as well!

And another great series- Monkey Island. I can't stand your velocity!

The LEGEND OF ZELDA OCARINA OF TIME.

Dude, YES!

FF1 for nes

Err....Halo and Half-Life 2??? Anyone heard of that??? LOL. Halo and Half-Life are the top plots around! Yea,just really into 1st person shooters :sniper: but....if it were a RPG,I'd say FF is the best around. :gundge:

It was. Just don't go out the window, and he lives.

((Really ineffectual spoiler warning))

Wasn't what I meant; I mean that I wish there was an option to "go evil" and turn Paul in. The way the game was plotted out, your only choice was to side with him and the "good guys" as they were at the time. What I would have loved is if JC could incapacitate/kill Paul for UNATCO and join the cause of MJ12, possibly cumilating in a battle with Bob Page over who gets to merge with Helios (though I'm not sure how a piddy little mad scientist would fare against a UNATCO nano-aug agent).

Anyway, just some clarification. Someone actually came up with a pretty good mod demonstrating what might happen (props to the crew of the Hotel Carone Mod)

And I agree that Deus Ex: Invisible War was awful. But the mag-rail secondary fire was soo durn cool!

- Ferrard

Son of a bitch, you mean all I had to do was walk out the door for him to live? I may have to go back and play Deus Ex again.

Yes. The tricky part is making it out the front door. I personally suggest making sure your energy's at maximum levels and that you have gas grenades in your inventory. They may seem useless, but with them you can disable large amounts of humanoid opponents (including MIB's)at once. Just pull out a melee weapon or tranq darts once their unable to move, pick up their stuff, and pull back to the book case if you run low on health from gas exposure. If your very careful, you can actually bottleneck all of the MIB's and UNATCO people on the stairs and the room entry itself, which makes things a whole lot easier.

Remember to go light on the gas grenades though, and strike fast in melee. It's nice to have the assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, and pistol ammo they'll drop. Your going to need it.

XIII, as the coolest game ever.

Easily Starcraft; no if, ands, or buts. None. Starcraft..The best Plot..bar none.

you are retarded

Starcraft..The best Plot..bar none.here is why:

"FF1 for nes"

i love any fantasy game that allows class changes...heehee...
like Wizardry,which i think is worth a mention as well.

the half-life plot was not very original,but the art work for the alien worlds was really cool and surreal...very nicely done.

ok...now help me out here guys,im drawing a blank. WTF??? must be getting alzheimers....

whats the game where the kids are taken to a lab and experimented on and they end up with psionic abilities? you never get any actual weapons in the game like guns,you use your psychic abilities to defeat the enemies. then your kid hero has to shoot up with psychotropic drugs in order to "recharge" his psionic stamina. one of the drugs keeps you "stable" otherwise,you totally freak and everyone around you goes splat. he is a rather young looking boy who wears a leather collar around his neck.(those japanese men are such pervs...lol) the whole plot had elements of Akira to it. i thought it was a cool game even though some of my friends said it was lame. meh...

whats the title? anyone know? i cant believe i forgot it. oye!

XIII, as the coolest game ever.

XIII was one of the worst FFs ever.

Weak plot
Gay characters
Leveling up was pointless
GF system was ok
Draw magic was retarded
The villians didn't even seem villany

The basic plot was just a watered down love story between a neutered stand alone hero and an annoying heroine. Seifer was meh at best.

Sorry, I meant XIII, not FF8. XIII is a cartoon-style FPS where you wake up on the beach as an amnesiac, suspected of murdering the president. You have to uncover a conspiracy which takes you from secret military installations to a mental hospital, the Grand Canyon to a military prison, expansive mansions, hotels, banks and a submarine.

I think the website is www.xiiithegame.com or something.

God I'm sorry whenever I see III, I immediatly think ff8 for some reason. To think I took 4 years of latin :p

I quite like the Legacy Of Kain.. it's long and some times confusing but cool..

Yes. The tricky part is making it out the front door. I personally suggest making sure your energy's at maximum levels and that you have gas grenades in your inventory. They may seem useless, but with them you can disable large amounts of humanoid opponents (including MIB's)at once. Just pull out a melee weapon or tranq darts once their unable to move, pick up their stuff, and pull back to the book case if you run low on health from gas exposure. If your very careful, you can actually bottleneck all of the MIB's and UNATCO people on the stairs and the room entry itself, which makes things a whole lot easier.

Remember to go light on the gas grenades though, and strike fast in melee. It's nice to have the assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, and pistol ammo they'll drop. Your going to need it.
or you just place a lot of grenades on the wall close to Paul's door and blow em up before they enter the appartement, while you're still chatting with the P man :D

which game has the best storyline? The game can be from any time period..Personally I think final fantasy 7 has the best story...

FF7 has too many twists and is too long as are the rest. Has to be MGS and MGSII:Sons of Liberty.

XIII. No contest.

But that only gets the ones who come in while Paul's trying to convince you to go through the window.

I know it's super old, but FF3 had THE BEST PLOT... if it was done again with today the new graphics and the fact that it can be longer than 3 days worth of gamming, it would be the ultimate.

Like seriously, It had everything, and the whole thing with the green haired girl being an esper, come on!!! awsomeness.

I stick to my guns, FF3 has the best plot EVER!!!!

You know.....pokemon has an ok plot. Catch everything and beat the top people in the world....but what do you do after that?

Yeah, I'm throwing my lot in with the Deus Ex crowd. You start off as a good guy, find out you're a bad guy so you go over to the bad guys which are actually the good guys to you can stop the good guys that are not really good anyway, but misguided pawns of the really really bad guys.

Doesn't get more twisted than that.

I actually didn't like that game, it got really boring after a while. (I quit after what's her face turned into an esper thingy).

GTA 4 - Vice City. Any game where you get to run a porn studio gets my vote.
