Which PC Game has best story line??
I think Diablo II had awesome story, POP:WW and Halo also were pretty good .
What do u guyz think...
I like DOOM3, Halflife 1 was my all time favourite, HL2 was OK.
Hey nobody says a word about GTA's ....
I belive San Andreas is having a very good storyline............It's just concentrated on u, though.
In fact, I havent played many of the games mentioned in this discussion, so there must be better options, but these are my favourites.
Now I like HL2,DOOM3,Maxpayne and C&C and HALO2:)
And oh, how could I forget the classic : QUAKE III ARENA! ;) :D
Punisher too has a good one...
:cry:
Hitman series is good, too.
WWII shooters like CoD, Brothers in Arms are equally good.
you can actually feel yourself in the story.. esp the ending of MP2 i loved it...
I agree with you m8 nothing beats the ending of Mafia. That is one of very few games with a sad ending...... :(
The story depicts the true life of many people who go on the wrong path due to bad circumstances.
I totally agree with you but you just spoiled the game for those who havent played it... :)
sorry, but i hope that U had played it before reading this post :wink:
ummm....well i say that was a total dud.....as it could have been way better than expectation....i mean seriously when the game was about to be launched i thought that there is gonna be a good storyline for itself....but nope the story begins from the same length as in The Movie Matrix Reloaded and the part where Niobe and Ghost are sent to intercept a mysterious parcel from the post office and then a series of own masala is added to extend the storyline by adding some sorry looking cut scenes and the end is a total waste i guess.....but overall it was just a plain Ok IMO :wink:
Also Harry Potter 3.
Also NFS Underground.
Can u tell me the story of nfs? I played it thrice but never found one.
Ug 2 seems to have one tho. Still its poor.
Dont take it to heart man. The games are awesome anyway. I wudnt have played them otherwise
that's it?? that's all you wanted to say?
Plz dont misuse the quickreply feature like this.
1. Baldur's gate 2
2. The Earth Lords ( Sharware RPG )
3. Diver Down ( Freeware RPG )
4. StarCraft
Biggest dissapointments were (In no particular order):
1. Warcraft 3
2. Max Payne 2
Games that were fun even without a real story (In no particular order):
1. Serious Sam 1 & 2
2. Diablo 2
3. Q3 Arena

the digit review said that the gameplay can sometimes be drag, mainly because of the scripted nature of the missions. the what the @#$#.....i didn't mind the scripted nature of the game what with such a brilliant script!
the ending scene was simply brilliant!
but not max payne 2...i guess the story line was too contorted and hecknayed.
CHEERS !!!
I dont know how much gud is that legacy of kain .... I've played it but I dont feel its too good to be there with the best.
it has very woderful storyline.
i played max payne1 and I really got excited.
and also wolf3d story is also very good
Metal gear solid which had an awesome twist in the end
Hey u guyz forgot the resident evil series :P
The king of the crop for me has to be pop ww as well as sot awesome story u know u feel connected to the prince especiall in ww and feel like finishing the game to see what happns to the prince :P.
Ofcource max payne2 awesome story
hehehehhehhe hey mario had a nice story :)) :mrgreen:
Also Unreal 2 really awesome game and a cool story.
HALF LIFE 1
Max Payne
mate I am in complete agreement with ya.
HL rocks
It brings tear when Sexy mona dies..
Hitman series was equally good
Harry potter games, Max Payne 2, HL2, etc good story lines? Well, I suppose everybody have their own likes and dislikes :)
I think that MP2 did not have a good story line. Well, at least the dialogue was way overdone. About 20% of the dialogs were about a bullet in a head. I dislike vague statements which pretend to be profound. Max payne had them in spades. I thought they were totally misplaced. Then again, Max Payne would get shot/meet an accident, and wind up in a hospital. Again, and again.
HL2 story is an ad hoc concotion because they had to make a sequel to HL1 which had no story whatsoever. As is usual in such situations, they mixed and matched and came up with something. It is no better than the stories that are seen with some of the freeware games. Funny thing is that freeware projects which make a big storyline before hand are usually not completed ;)
What about you try Baldur's Gate 2 and The Earth Lords for some nice stories? Both are RPGs.
Pallav
Storywise...The Max Payne series has to be the best. The story is very consitent, totally believable and the dark, brooding atmosphere almost lets you feel like you really are max, out to even the score. The almost poetic narrative simply blew me away..I can't wait for MP3...
Mafia - Very good story for an awesome game....sad they won't be making a sequel for it..
Half-Life had a great story but they totally trashed it in the sequel with a very subdued, uneventful ending....I'm not sure if valVe themselves know who the old 'man in black' really is.
Doom 3s story never really bothered me in the first place....The 'fear factor' felt so contrived that I started skipping those emails altogether...and you just go thru the motions.
KOTOR I
Max Payne 1 then 2
Mafia
Dues Ex 1
Max Payne 2
Thief 2
amit
Hi cousin! :D
Its like Max Payne basically.... but u have psychic powers.... its really fun to play and has one of the best storylines and background music....
I also liked POP (both) , freelancer etc
The cinematics are so intense you feel like you're watching a good gangster flick. Reminded me of movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas.
2 > Max Payne 1 & 2
Romantic storyline ..... pretty good.
that's it?? that's all you wanted to say?
Plz dont misuse the quickreply feature like this.
hey
vot , u expect me 2 rite a full page essay . replied coz was said in gud humour , thats it
@arvind , didnt go through the whole thread before posting 'PAINKILLER' .
seems 2 me even u didnt . DKant had posted quake III , n this was somethin in the same league , but believe me , hadnt read his post or wouldnt have posted in the first place . ne more explanations reqd . :D :D :D
And Half Life 1 had a great storyline as well. Add to that the seamless level loading and the player being forced to view the world through Freemna's viewpoint all the time made up for some immersive game play.
While it helps give a deeper perspective of the Matrix storyline, it was a console part and that I guess was partly its downfall. The game does a good job of tying the storylines of "Final Flight of the Osiris", Reloaded and Revolutions together, and a lot of what's being said in the movies can only be understood if you've played the game.
Same with "The Matrix Online" MMORPG. A lot of the post-Neo world and the different factions vying for power is pretty much the setting for the game, where you can either ally either with the humans, the machines or the exiles.
So, I guess the only thing that sums up EtM is - "couldve been better" especially when it comes to gameplay and graphics because all Shiny Entertainment and Atari and the Matrix team at WB wanted to do was cash in on the Matrix partywagon real fast, and they didn't mind raising the hype and inconveniencing users by pushing a badly finished game at them.
All in all, a game that's better to watch someone else play rather than play it yourself.
BTW, allwyndlima, you've got to see Final Flight of the Osiris and the rest of the 9 animated shorts in "The Animatrix" to complete the Matrix experience.
And oh, the ending was tied in perfectly with the end of The Matrix Reloaded and a bit of The Matrix Revolutions.
And there is infact a 4th game based on the Potter universe, the Quidditch game.
and mxpayne !!!1
the best storyline
Hi cousin! :D
yo :lol: :lol: :lol:
The other contenders would definitely have to be the Half-Life series, Tribes: Vengeance (a great approach to storytelling, in my opinion) and Doom 3. I thought the way they told the story and the way the events unfolded partly via cutscenes and partly via the PDAs was just great.
Also Harry Potter 3.
Also NFS Underground.
Second Is Maxpayne-2.
How could a man get stuck b/w hell and heaven????
His past life is also not uncommon, then how!!!
- Soldier of fortune
no one lives forever 2
command & conquer red alert 2
Broken Sword - The Sleeping Dragon
syberia
curse of monkey island
Consoles in general have games with better story lines. Metal Gear Solid is a fine example. Its story driven game and not the other way around. I'm not sure if anybody here will like those turn based RPG's like Final Fantasy. If you guys have the patience, you will really enjoy the Final Fantasy 6 and the superb story line. Next in line would be the Final Fantasies for Playstation. Legend of Zelda anyone? Link and Hyrule are defnitely a Legend.
Has anyone have played Neverwinter Nights for the PC. another marvellous game. I've only played a few levels of it and i'm already loving it. ;)
And i even liked WarcraftIII and the Frozen Throne storyline
The cut scenes were just amazin.......... :lol:
I dont think any other game has had an impact on me "storywise" after it.
People might argue that its a PS game, but a PC version was released as well so technically it can be counted as PC.
If you aint played it, then you aint played a game.
Syberia 1 and syberia 2 has also got a great storyline.
1)Beyond Good & Evil [Very Funny/Emotional]
2)Max Payne 1 & 2 [Very Emotional]
3)ONI [Very Emotional]
4)NOLF 1/2 [Very Funny]
5)HL/HL2 [Mixed]
6)Zelda : Ocarina of Time [Mixed]
I have played it, and I have completed it - three times :D . Once as a mage, once as a sorceror, and once as a monk. The sorceror was the easiest of all - he is just too powerful for anything else in a game. Using the sorceror, I defeated even Klauth the dragon with great ease.
Pallav
Yo man pallav. Finally someone who played Neverwinter nights. I just finished chapter 1 using barbarian. Sorcerers are easy to play with i guess.. because they can take out all the monsters from a distance. But i love melee fighters. barbarians, paladins. But its sooo long man. Taking away a lot of my time. Guess i will have to wait until my end sems are over to start playing it full time. I'm sooo sorry this is off topic. :wink:
i had just played it once....liked its easy playing interface and 3rd person action view......quite good game....but dun ask about the story line cause they aint of much concern to me :lol:
and yea again HL 1 did have a good storyline preciesly the reason why Hl2 had to be done with a even better storyline and Gameplay which it definetly lived upto :D
Pray tell me, where did you find a story in that game?!!!
lol....its a simple one.....Xaero is supposed to be the Grand champion of a Arena (God Knows where that is)......and then there's u trying to take that championship title from him(atleast thats what i know) .....See not much talk in this game....but just the walk and "Blow whatever u see in front of ya" funda for this 3D FPS :wink:
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Doom3 never had a storyline IMO :shock: :shock: :shock:
btw my priority list
MAFIA
MAX PAYNE
RESIDENT EVIL 2
RESIDENT EVIL 3
TENCHU
HL2
CHEERS !!!
Untold centuries ago the Vadrigar, the mysterious Arena Masters, constructed the Arena Eternal for their own infernal amusement. Virtually nothing is known of these beings except that they savor the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have stocked the arena with the greatest warriors of all time. And you have just joined their ranks.
As a gladiator in the Arena Eternal, you must not only survive, but also win each and every battle against ever more powerful opponents. Don't worry overly much about getting "fragged." The Vadrigar won't be cheated of their favorite sport by a little thing like death. Those who fall are instantly restored to life and immediately thrust back into the battle, perhaps a little wiser for their misfortunes.
When the dust, blood, and gibs settle, all warriors will have earned the right to battle again, providing further entertainment for the Vadrigar. But only the warrior who has fragged the most foes will be lauded as the winner. The victorious gladiator advances to a more challenging array of arenas, until, at last, he or she faces Xaero, Lord of the Final Arena.

@cody: Wading through all the posts? LOL, you're crazier than I imagined. :D Even *I* dont dare do that. :lol:
Half Life II
Prince of Persia : Sands of Time
Prince of Persia : Warroir Within
Medal of Honor : Pacific Assault
Pirates of the Carribean
I totally agree with you but you just spoiled the game for those who havent played it... :)
but nothing beats pacman
Played it several times. With multiple storyline its awesome. In regular one when u kill the princess second time, her dialogues make u hate urself for killing her. For once u wud love the villain more than the hero.
the other one is even better . kaileena is really hot in the last video
man wat awesome graphics and excellent game play.!!!doesnt seem to end!!1
try it 2day
For the game, id has enlisted the services of science fiction writer Matthew Costello to pen the game story and dialogue. Costello is no rookie to this sort of thing -- you may recognize him as the writer of the 7th Guest and The 11th Hour games. The game has already been storyboarded from start to finish

To Myself: Should go and study now. Sems starting tomorrow! :(
Mafia & Max Payne
@Prof: Know what? I tried to wade through your 2829 posts at Skoar! to find that one post where you had put up the story!
Infact I didnt find this game any better. I think they should have improved on the game much more.
Btw i havent seen the Osiris final Flight yet....i believe it was an 9 min or something additional computer generated Scene i guess....not too sure about it but anyways how is it????? is the Animation Similar to Animatrix????
Pray tell me, where did you find a story in that game?!!!
Yeah, and the ones that r really good sometimes miss the megabucks. Like Deus Ex :(
i agree MP1&2 had a good storyline but VC has an awesome one too and in the end u rule the city !@!
and wat abt POP:SOT ?? awesome story ..especially the endin ;) ... still playin WW so will find out the full story later ... but its good till now ...
Yes, HL2 be it has a nice storyline , BUT also i love the way the story of HALO proceeds step by step. Max payne 1,2 & GTA series well those are classics .
& abt HL3 ! , its will be started after the expansion pack(Half Life 2:Aftermath) is finnished off with , Rumor has it that in the third edition of the series u will play as as Alyx Vance , rather than good'ol Gordon Freeman :D
Lets see just wait and see how that works out :roll:
you can actually feel yourself in the story.. esp the ending of MP2 i loved it...
I also agree that MAX PAYNE 2 rules in for award for best storyline. It gets u involved and u keep thinking about it after even after u stop playing it. Max payne also had good story after all, it got my heart pumping and also some times crying and some times fearful ........so emotionally enthralling game ....MAX PAYNE RULES......
Technically speaking, Half-Life was the first game to have a semblance of a story, and it was the first time someone professional actually worked on the script of the game. Marc Laidlaw literally was the first scriptwriter for an FPS. And it was so appealing because it WAS a true first-person shooter. You got to find out everything through the eyes of Freeman. (Man, how I loved the part where at the end of "Surface Tension" Freeman gets ambushed by the grunts who throw him in the trash compactor. Literally everything goes black and you only hear your heartbeat before you faint and wake up when you're thrown into the compactor)
Having said that, I dont know if id hired a scriptwriter for Doom 3. They must have, the storytelling was so good in that game.
2.Story line &
3.Startegy involved.
To me the games which has the best story line are MaxPayne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein,Hitman,Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3:Raven Shield and Hidden and Dangerous 2.
All these games have the excellent graphics and its really worth to play more than once.If any of you have not yet played Raven shield and H&D 2 then do try to get hold of these to particular games....they are just gr8!!!!!!! thats all i can say, i will give these 2 particular games 10/10 for being best in all the features.
I have played it, and I have completed it - three times :D . Once as a mage, once as a sorceror, and once as a monk. The sorceror was the easiest of all - he is just too powerful for anything else in a game. Using the sorceror, I defeated even Klauth the dragon with great ease.
Pallav
Solid storyline,characters as well as graphics in one single package.
vice city
Knights of the Old Republic
Thief
Max Payne (Never had the chance to play MP2 :( )
Hitman
In the beginning I used to like the storyline of Everquest in the beginning but after the expansions I found it boring.
HITMAN 2 HAD A GREAT ENDING SO DID HITMAN CONTRACTS
WAIT FOR HITMAN 4
ITS CALLED BLOODMONEY
STORY WISE MAX PAYNE 2 WAS REALY TRAGIC
IT BROUGHT TEARS IN MY EYES....OH MONA........
Coming on to good story lines, Mafia too had a great one. I just loved the old world charm of the game, with so many twist and turns. And the ending was just great! The Mob never forgets!
