If lore is a flavor text on an item, than its a fucking fail. Flavor text is always meant to deepen the information readily available. Not to become something that should be readily available cus its not. Its forcing me to find all hiden stuff so i can justify my actions. Its lazy cop out and they are doing it for the 4th time now and retarded kids are hyped.
It amazes me.
If u wanna see what story is, play 5 games of Legacy of Kain.

The warcraft universe has a great story thats completely flipped through and bastardized in the MMO. the books are mostly well written, especially the most recent "War Crimes" book

Ground Control 2

i actually started WoW for the WC 1 2 3 storyline. IMO richest in-depth eventline of all games. Dragon Age is good too, and i loved all 3 bioshocks.
people who shit on these games are latte drinking indie-game lovers. So would you kindly shut up?

Space Rangers 2 Rise of the Dominators and SC2 a war apart

>>608108716
Fucking no?
You don't get to choose anything, except the various endings. Oh boy, what fun. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they weren't such false-advertising cocks about it. There's almost 0 choice in this game which it's SUPPOSED to be about. It all ends up the same just like the shitty conclusion to the Mass Effect series.

No, they still stick to the lore in the mmo. I'm assuming you used to play but don't anymore. When you did/if you do, you probably weren't/aren't playing to experience all of the lore because if you did/do you'd realize. That's wrong, you fucking retard.

yeah i agree, the first bioshock was by far my favorite depiction of a dystopian society in any work of art. i dont care if its loosely based on rayndian philosophy which to some degree wold classify it as a by-product of someone else's dystopia, it put 1984 to shame for me. the fact that its combat mechanics were godawful is insignificant compared to the storyline it put onto the market.

geez. if it didn't have all these "forced to wait" moments (the council at high hrothgar holy shit) it would have taken 30 minutes at best

Uncharted 2

Best vampire game. Good gameplay but poor story towards the end, since the company went bust and only for ex employees and fans patched it to be playable. Stupid ending.

Uncharted 3

what ?

Plot is essential to being a main part of an RPG. What you call not coddling, I call failure as a game. Example, if I read a book, I'm not going to pry under the dust jacket for some hidden clue as to what the bloody fuck is going on. The plot in DS was an afterthought at best.

Can't believe no one mentioned this gem of a game even if the gameplay was repetitive the story was phenomenal, and dat plot twist.

Don't you need a story in the first place to have the best story?

It was great back then, being a PS1 game n' shit.
I personally think it should've been a PS2 game, it could've been even more amazing.

you know there was a time when a storyline could be good without allowing someone to alter it. like you know, every book... but i suppose your bookshelf is lined with these. (pic related)

Especially Silent Hill 2 was the best story combined with atmospheric horror ever made you will never find anything similar. Nothing comes even close to this classic.

Honestly, Destiny had a really immersive story that made me feel like I was actually on earth.
