Instead of writing the complimentary page long speech about the topic, I have decided to just state a question.

What is your favourite plot in a game, why was it good, and do you think the plot is the most important part of the game?



I know that was more than one question, before you say.

(I wasn't going to say anything.)

Good.

The plot in lylat wars runs quite nicely mind, twisting depending on how/what you do in the game, and with a surprise twist at the end.

I enjoyed the stories in Metal Gear Solid and Secret Of Mana a lot. Both stories really developed and sucked you in as you played through them.

Metal Gear Solid also brought issues into the story, like the possibility of love happening in the cold atmosphere of conflict and the misery and guilt of being involved in the deaths of thousands of people (i.e - nucular bombs).

The characters were also very strong, even to the point where you felt sorry for certain bad guys such as Sniper Wolf. These things helped to make Metal Gear Solid the superb game it is.

I really can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 2 to come out.

I AGREE!!! Darknes_2k, have you played MGS in full round mine??? I know you played a lof of it at that sleep over, but if you haven't played the end, you have missed out a on a lot. Come round tomorrow and play the end!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh yeah, MGS has the best plot ever. It kept me on the edge of my seat, I had no idea what was going to happen next, as darkness put above, its engrossing, believable, meaningful, strong and overall brilliant!!!

I think one of the best game plots is Metal Gear Solid. I must admit, I don't enjoy sitting through hours of internal dialogue, but if you do stop and listen you will find a strong, meaninful, engrossing and believable plot.

True, just look at all the costume dramas on TV, but it does add something to certain types of games. I just prefer the other two games I mentioned, plotwise.
