Worst Video Game Storylines
« on: January 24, 2012, 09:58:33 PM »
What do you think are the worst storylines in a video game.

WWE'12 Outsider(Triple H) Road to Wrestlemania: This storyline made absolutely no sense, First the storyline started good until it got to Triple H returning which when he enters his dressing room, he talks to Kevin Nash on the phone and Kevin Nash is apparently right next to Triple H when he called Nash and then Nash attacked Triple H. This was not explained later in the storyline or in the next part at all.

WWESvR2011: Vs Undertaker RTWM: Th storyline was good until the part where Paul Bearer returned and then you get the Undertakers urn from Kane and you have to capture these black vortexes and later you have to face Jake Roberts, Jimmy Snuka and Masked Kane all in there prime later in the story.

Transformers Dark of the Moon Stealth Addition(Wii and DS): One word describes this: FAIL. The game will not let you transform into a robot, so you have to defeat everything in car mode and not only that, the storyline takes place before the movie unlike the 2 other games, which asks the question why was this game based off dark of the moon if it happened before it and after Revenge of the Fallen

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

And the Final Fantasy games, and in fact most games in the RPG genre. I prefer games like Radiant Historia, where the hero's actually a competent age (youngest is Aht at 9 - Raynie, Marco and Eruca are 17, Stocke is 19, Rosche is 21 and Gafka is mid 30s), and games like Rondo of Swords, where the idea isn't to save the world at all - and, in fact, good and evil aren't so clear cut

You mean most games in the Japanese RPG genre. Although, none of the Final Fantasy games I've played were about 10-year-olds. However, I've only played 1 and 7.

I've played Final Fantasy 7 and 13. They have decent storylines that they actually bother to extend, so that people can read about other things going on concerning the storyline if they want.

Crackdown 2 has one of the worst storylines ever. The only thing that keeps it going as a 'good' game is the open environment.

Whenever I think of "Crackdown", I always think of the old Mega Drive game of the same name   :approve:

Random nerd dons a suit of power armor and shoots aliens all while not talking.

Seriously, why does Valve love making their protagonists mute so much?
