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?

Right, my previous post wasn't that good. I like contributing as much as I can to threads like this. I strive to play games with outstanding storylines, I love them. Like I mentioned above, Planescape: Torment is one of the best stories ever told in a video game. I hate how all the great games with great stories are shadowed by average games with average gameplay. Let me list a few games that I know that have a great story, that usually fly under the radar. Shenmue Deus Ex Planescape: Torment Fallout 1 & 2 System Shock 2 I want every person in this thread, who values a good story in video games. To sit through the bad gameplay and dated graphics of Planescape and play it. Use the mods to fix whatever; bring it up a bit more to todays standards. But, play it. I urge you.
