the final boss fight is fucking unbeatable

Doesn't even have a story

The whole of the Witcher series

Deus Ex

>dude conspiracies lmao

Deus Ex or To the moon

Call of Duty Black Ops

Black Ops 1 specifically, 2 is an ok follow up but 3 doesn't deserve the Black Ops name

>look it up on Wikipedia
>an amnesiac teenager pilots a mecha to kill god.

I like S;G just as much as the next guy but you gotta be honest that the plot can get convoluted

Tactics Ogre.

Not even close

Don’t blame me, blame Wikipedia editors.

glad someone agrees with me. Best final boss fight of all time IMO

I found the original easy to follow. 0 had me a bit confused at times.

>you will never play an rpg series with Ciri as the main protagonist, following her journey from the moment she left Kaer Morhen to becoming a world hopping all powerful witcher-queen

why live?

Not at all a qualifier for best, but Digital Devil Saga was pretty cool. Shame about the sequel.

Is that the linear smt game where they eat people? What's wrong with the second one?

Earth A was in terrible crisis in the year 2015.
The shadow of the evil terrolist group called Scarlet blocked the way to the outside universe for human beings.
Members of Scarlet consist of artificial creatures created by A-Human using super genetic engineering. They are the secret society intended to destroy the entire human race.
In addition to the high intelligence and strong fighting poser, they have special abilities capable of parasitic existence with human beings, animals and machinery. By using these abilities, they conquered A-Human and were about to obtain supremacy over A-Earth.
A-Human planned to assassinate Epsilon-Eagle, the boss of the Scarlet group with a special combat group capable of using super dispatched secretly.
The sudden attack by the group using it's super power seriously damaged Epsilon and successfully threw him into the time space continum which had been l liberated by using super power.
Later, as Xi-Tiger gained power from Scarlet by taking advantage of the confusion, terrorism toward A-Human became much more violent.
On the other hand, the hatred toward Xi-Tiger within the scarlet group because of their cruel acts became bitter and voices for restoration of Epsilon became stronger.
Xi-Tiger who was isolated from other group members decided to assassinate Epsilon. In order to liberate the time space continuum, they attacked the A-Human's research laboratory where boys and girls with super power were kidnapped.
At that time, X-Tiger sensed the existence of Epsilon in one of the boys. However he could not read the evil will from Epsilon who was a parasite of the boy's body. Xi-Tiger was much confused and took a girl as hostage and demanded Epsilon to release the boy.
The boy who was beside himself with rage, converted his body into Epsilon.
A bird-man with steel wings took over the boy's will.

In his mind his real nature, human justice, battled with the foreign force.
Xi-Tiger sensed unknown power in Epsilon and escaped after killing the girl.
---Epsilon speaks---
I'll never let you go, Xi-Tiger!!
There is an another bird-man who has Epsilon's body. However, his will is full of evil ambition and nobody knows his real intension.
He also flew away, chasing after Xi-Tiger.

DDS1 has zero plot for the middle 90% of the game other than chasing sera around. The sequel was good.

Mother 3.

You already posted it.

Not that one
I'm going to be honest. Xenogears is probably in my top 20 replayed RPGs and yet, even now as a grown ass adult, i have no fucking clue what's going on by the ending. And so I read a wiki after killing the final boss, nod my head in understanding, forget everything, and continue the cycle anew the next year.

Are you kidding?
Alien soldier was shit

>the whole witcher series until you're reunit3d with ciri
Fixed

I deliberately picked the aggressively, possibly intentionally, worst story I could think of.

Everything is wrong with it. Basically, Atlus intended for DDS to sell incredibly well so they gave it a huge budget. Then, once it bombed, the sequel was given almost no resources and is garbage as a result. There are redeeming factors, but basically the whole game is empty hallways instead of actual dungeon design. The story is super rushed, to the point that all the main characters are arbitrarily killed off in the last 2~ hours of gameplay so that the planned ending still works. It also lacks all the great atmosphere and Hindu flavour of the original.

The sequel was awful and a disappointment.

Pokemon Gold/Silver
Young boy who leaves home to challenge the world.
Stop a criminal organization from making a mind control radio station.
Travel to and defeat the Elite 4, and face the greatest trainer of all time on top of mountain that was covered in challengers who also wanted to face him.

Damn straight

What didn't you understand? Is a higher dimensional being really that hard to comprehend?

I don't think I can say best but I have to give it credit as one of the very few games to get a emotional response out of me.

Durring development the main writor for DDS got so sick she had to be hospitalized for several months. Because of this the plot was never properly completed and Atlus had to tie up some loose ends themselves making the plot a bit underwhelming. The original author released five novels that tell the actual planned story she had wanted to tell.

If we are discussing SMT plots I would say Raidou 2 is the king.

Persona 1/2 Writer isnt bad either. I guess he just didnt have the same vision as her.I really like most pre-ps2 stories for smt didnt play raidou 2 how much better is it compared to1?

Pussy

As a game? Much better, combat and mechanics are much more refined and combat is more fun and less repetetive?

As a story? Damn amazing. Probably the deepest writing with its characters in the entire series. One complaint though is there is some kind of annoying "2deep4you" monologues from the main villain which are annoying but overall the characters and their motivations are genuinely really well written.

Already posted it

I'm trying to think of something but I'm drawing a blank. Any games I consider to have a good story feel like they're marred by adherence to production schedules.
eg. Mother 3 had a really good story but the infodump with Leader at the end felt incredibly out of place and it dragged down the pacing at the climax of the story.

Best worldbuilding maybe, but story? Probably not.

Shit game

Bump

Kahr had a hard life.

I mean just imagine being genetically engineered to be a pseudo-contact only for them to find the real contact and then abort and flush you. Then after fighting tooth and nail to survive and rising to the top of the ranks the real contact shows back up and kicks your ass every time you see him and the girl you're boning just laughs at you, and the guy who genetically engineered you laughs at you. You can totally see why he went all elliot rodgers on them.

POST YOUR CITANS AAAA

No RPG has a good story

Pathologic.
I/O (main arc - without LogOut).
KGB was fucking nice.

I have the game on Vita but have never played it, really. Should I go for it?

I want a Injustice game with Dark Nights Metal for the narrative. That would be the best story.

Dark Nights Metal is so good.
