The best videogame stories ever

GamesRadar - Games are meant to be played, but ever since Donkey Kong introduced a story with a beginning, middle, and an end, the digital medium has slowly recognized its potential for storytelling as well. Over time the writing has improved, better graphics have allowed for more interesting techniques, and every now and then a game pushed the boundaries of just how mature a story could be. By this point gaming is undeniably a storytelling medium, and we’ve experienced some incredible stories in our history of gaming.

I agree with the list, especially the number 1. However, It misses Shadow of the Colossus, Xenogears and Beyond Good and Evil, in my opinion.

Nice list, glad to see Red Dead in there.

ginsunuva3938d ago

Red Dead's story up until the last 2 hours was pretty much nonexistent and what was there, a man doing favors for idiots, was utterly stupid like the majority of most R* stories. All their characters begin by doing nonsensical favors for random idiots for a good 20-30 hours before any real story.

But Red Dead Redemption's ending was good.

johnsonbat3938d ago

"a man doing favours for idiots'" is the cornerstone of any great story line.

metaltales493939d ago

good list I like the fact persona 4 was on the list

MadLad3939d ago

Having Torment that low on the list is a joke. The list itself is agreeable enough though.

Imalwaysright3939d ago

True. Imo Torment's story is the best in videogames.

MrTrololo3939d ago

Red dead redemption by far has the best story in my opinion

Derekvinyard133939d ago

I second that, while many games have a twist, that ending was something I never thought was going to happen. I knew it could happen but I never thought they would have the balls to do that to us

ginsunuva3938d ago

It had no story except for the last 2-3 hours.

But what was there at the end was good.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
