Only 2 mentions of Max Payne in 15 pages? If you haven't played this game you don't know what a good video game story is.

For those of you playing Planescape Torment for the first time... Put a lot into INT, WIS and CHR... You'll open up a whole nother part of the story with your insight. There are about 4-5 endings to the game as well BTW, with only one TRUE ending that you achieve if you have very high intelligence and wisdom. I've played through it like 10 times and I always find something new, most amazing story ever.

past always seems better than it should have been.

Bg2 was a great game but so does mass effect1 or dragon age - heck even better i can say.

I play video games 20 years now since my ibm pc1 8086 and ive seen a lot .


Thing is that good modern games surpass older ones but for various reasons - 1 been rosy retrospective bias plus so many releases each year - made older games look vastly superior when they arent .

I don't really think they are better except for Gfx ( and this is still arguable for some genres because good high resolution 2D is often better than 3D in my opinion ).
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Oh god, how could I forget that game? Max Payne 1 was great, but Max Payne 2 was REALLY awesome.

Pokemon, it taught us about the journey of a more ambitious Michael Vick. Where else do you enslave animals, kill others to make yours stronger to achieve your ultimate goal of domination? Along with beating up other people's animals and stealing their money?

http://www.scribd.com/doc/22255970/Pokemon-A-Menace-to-Today-s-Youth

The basic procedure for seizing control of a pokemon involves ... pummeling it to the brink of unconsciousness, ... and throwing a device which engulfs the target pokemon and attempts to make it subservient to the human... The only logical explanation ... is some flawless, futuristic mind-control.

Fictional humans who enslave and barter Pokemon refer to each other by the euphemism "Pokemon trainer" in lieu of more realistic titles such as "Pokemon traffickers".


The other rampant activity in the Pokemon universe - gladitorial combat - has certainly been outlowed in many countries... During these matches, two opposing Pokemon viciously poison, maul, or electrocute each other until one stands triumphant over its mutilated, unconscious opponent. At the conclusion of a match, the human master claims victory once all of his opponent’s available Pokémon have been beaten into a coma.

Pokémon owners receive money for winning matches, and highly-anticipated battles receive television coverage and take place in giant stadiums with crowds of spectators.



Some conservative groups may take issue with other aspects of the Pokémon series, such as summoning and controlling demon-like monsters, evolution, and force-breeding Pokémon

Just refreshed my memory of PS:T again with a wis and INT specilised character. Couple of things that I especially liked were the way that the practical incarnation did things that many could consider evil, except that he did it all to end the "curse", so it's hard to say that he was evil... just practical and very ruthless.

And the sidequests have got to be most interesting sidequests I've seen in any game ever. Even the chores you needed to do before becoming a mage and most of the godsman quests, and some of the sensory stones were well written, entertaining, and deeper than 90% of the typical video game overarching plot, which sadly includes half of Biowares games.

I opened this thread and expected it to be about PS:T and I wasn't disappointed. That's how good of a game PS:T is, seriously.

Whenever I see or hear someone mention "best story in a game" it immediately triggers my PS:T senses :D

The game is beyond awesome and underrated, because you actually have to read a lot in the game and lots of people don't want that in a game, fair enough.

For those who take the time and read each dialogue and live the story, you will never be disappointed.

Best game ever, I replay it like twice a year, always with different party-setups, different alignments and see what changes.

There are a lot of games with a compelling story, so it's probably up to taste for everyone to say which one he thinks is the best.
I played The Witcher through lately, and I liked that game a lot. I probably would love PS:T too, I've only seen the beginning at a friends place, never got to play it myself quite yet.
I will probably try it later some day.
