I can't actually think of any games that I have played which have a wretched storyline. Tony Hawks American Wasteland, possibly. But that whole game was in itself a trainwreck.
And that wasn't nice, Gf93.
Agreed, in retrospect. Maybe I did go a little too far.

But yes, I do agree there. The Tony Hawk series went a bit downhill after Pro Skater 4.

You've got much worse lately; constantly trashing Jonzu is pointless, unwise and extremely offensive.

You're a band dedicated to Metallica. You open for them. Wow.

Guitar Hero really does suck story wise.

Skyrim is above average, I prefer Fallout.
That I can agree with. I actually bought Skyrim because I liked what Bethesda did with Fallout.

I liked Fallout 3 (it had a sense of humour and was basically a huge throwback to Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb), but I've always kinda considered Bethesda to be not exactly the best. Bioware kicked their ass before Skyrim came out (although I have no idea why they wasted time with SW:TOR and the crap story of MA3) in Western RPG terms.

NFX Implicating he knows everything about FPS games? HL2 has the best storyline, EVER. And it's overall the best game.

Non.

I think he was rather implying SOME FPS games, I mean I had to check through the thread before I said something akin to what he said. Funnily enough, this is another topic I wrote a short blog about on hipster blogging site Tumblr.

Worst storyline, Q.U.B.E... (hint: There is none)
Honorable Mention, Sonic Riders

Doom 2 has a pretty generic one.
"omg john there are the demons and you must kill them w/ ur gunz
"i must kill teh deomzn"
and then john kills deomns

but it's the greatest game ever so it's ok.

Game probably trounces HL2 for hardcore gamer value and is still scary as

Doom has the best fan fiction ever though.
Also, all Sonic games have pretty lame stories that involve collecting chaos emeralds.

John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie.

The entire goddamn game is in flashback because you're being interrogated and stuff

Halo 3: ODST has a really crap storyline. It's all flashbacks/forwards/*whatever other direction time can go in*-wards, swapping characters, etc. Basically, a lot of guesswork is involved to gain an idea of the storyline, aand it's impossible to figure out first time.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #50 on:** January 25, 2012, 04:57:29 PM »

on the subject of halo, reach was the worst game i've played in a while.

The storyline makes you feel somewhat involved, but is a bit vague and jumpy. The multiplayer and forge editing is EPIC, though.

That was never mentioned, Jonzu. I didn't explicitly say that EVERY FPS game ever made has no storyline, and I didn't even imply that, it's just that a lot of them seem to be quite similar from my point of view, just in a different wrapper. Portal 2 is an excellent game, for example.

I'll agree that most of the Sonic Storylines are pretty bad, though. I've recently bought Generations, and while it's a good amount of fun, the storyline is pretty meh at best.

Has anyone mentioned Wind Waker yet?

i went into my local vidya shop when modern warfare 69 or whatever and battlefield 5 were released and i couldn't tell the difference from the box art.
From what i've heard from my mates they're the same gaem anyway.

Run about and shoot stuff. Occasionally throw a grenade.

Thus my point is proven. =)

BF3 is better.

If anyone else without a life has played the Super Monkey Ball series, every single one of the games minus the first one had complete BS stories (special criticism to SMBA). SMB2 had good gameplay though.

A game with a bad storyline?
Hmmmm

Mariokart maybe? considering there isn't a storyline
