Lets Discuss: Video Game Stories
Good ol' VG narratives. Sometimes great, but mostly pretty meh.
Why is it that games like Bioshock, RDR, Bastion, To the Moon, and many other games have great narratives that keep the player engrossed even after he or she has stopped playing? What do you enjoy in a VG story? What stands out for you? and what are some great examples of great story telling in Video Games?

This thread needs more extra credits, but i'm too lazy to link anything - - - - - - I enjoy games that tell their story through gameplay/mechanics; my all time favorite game, Shadow of the Colossus is a perfect example of this. What i don't usually enjoy is games that tell their story through info dumps (aka, making us read entire books or watch giant cut scenes(although both can be made to work really well))
