Games with great campaigns.

Mass Effect Trilogy

this

[Noctus]

So basically, Battlefield games either have decent multiplayer(1942,2,2142) or decent singleplayer(bc,bc2), or neither(3 and 4), never both.

 

 

 

Couldn't of summed it up any better myself. Although i did enjoy(ish) both bf3/4 sglplayer, BF3 mp was fun and BF4 is just wearing me down now. Apart from some likes here and there for 3 & 4 u've pretty much nailed it on the head. Shame really.

 

Now where's my 2143...... 

[ComradeHX]

Now where's my 2143......

It's called Star Wars Battlefront; and it's still made by EA, so you know it's going to keep battlefield series' casualization since 2142.

[LOST TALE]

Drives up to naval warship in a RIB, attaches c4 to ships haul detonates and saves the day, but not before one of squad mates sacrifices themselves. Not to mention COD is very good at creating fictional wars between super powers. China versus USA really? 

 

Not talking about multilayer here. 

Such story tricks aren't limited to COD.

Meaning, regarding this, I assent its more alike COD.

But It's certainly not any less battlefield.

Sniper Elite V2 (I personally enjoyed this one)

 

RTS:

Arcade Flight Sim:

Ace Combat 2

Ace Combat 3

 

Action RPG:

Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment (if you exclude the absurd amount of grinding you'd need to do if you want to max out)

Stalker Lost Alpha is an impressive mod!

Back when story of Battlefield series was told in the map description, they were the best.(up until 2142)

If BF series did something like Titanfall; it would kick ass.

Instead, uncreative singleplayer campaign trying to be cod but not enough explosions.

[ComradeWillakov]

Any of the witcher games, absolutely brilliant for campaigning plus it is open world ed so i guess that helps immersion

[totjup5]

Penumbra Overture had a pretty interesting story if you are into horror games. Also, the Portal games are fantastic. Dark souls 1 and 2 both have great story lines if you delve into the lore, and Mount and blade: warband is a great single player experience as well.

[Yoann Craniumz]

Total war series in general. Elder scrolls. Mass effect series. Far cry 3.

[NARAKU_KAT]

You are so easily brainwashed by silly games.

[Adrian.D]

Sleeping Dogs, grab it while it's on sale on steam for around $5. Well worth the money.

[MoDtEc]

Everything mentioned before and if you'r able to get into some high fantasy rpg/rts hybrid:

 

Try Spellforce: The Order of Dawn and the Expansion Packs

graphics are....well as good as it gets with a game published in 2003

underrated like hell in my opinion and a great story and i appreciate the gameplay concept very much

 

Its hard to get to run on modern OS but witht he fix aviable on the communty board or the Gold Edition and win7 it works fine

[Redpalmtree]

I tend to only play the campaigns. I am looking for a franchise like CoD/Last of Us/Metro. (Set aside the hate. The campaigns are fairly decent)

(Doesn't have to be FPS)

Recommendations please... 

It may not be your kind of game but Max Payne has one of the most impressive stories I've played through so far.

 

Looking more towards your preferences: I liked Crysis and Crysis: Warhead a lot. Got less interesting when Crysis 2 came out though.

[WolfDeville]

Bioshock Infinite (disliked first 2 games but this was amazing)

 

BF3 (pretty decent campaign)

 

Far Cry 3

 

The Walking Dead Season 1&2

 

Max Payne 3 (really really good)

 

Papo & Yo (bit of a puzzle game but it is absolutely fantastic and I loved every minute playing it)

 

Arma 3

[juretrn]

Red Alert 2 for cheesy acting.

"Is it done, Yuri?" "No, comrade premier. It has only begun."

[Lepp]

If you're looking for a series with a great story, that will take you a little while, you could try out the Mass Effect Trilogy, the Dragon Age series (3rd won't be coming out until later this year and 2nd wasn't properly done, but it's still a great series so far), the Bioshock series, the Witcher series (again, 3rd game coming out soon), or the Borderlands games.

 

For some shorter, but still amazing stories, try the Portal games, the Walking Dead games, Sequence, Fable: The Lost Chapters (or the HD Aniversary), or Thomas Was Alone.

[ARCIIANGEL]

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

 

It is an amazing game that is less than 3 hours long but really has an amazing story, you really need some sort of controller to play it properly though. 

 

Fallout 3 and New Vegas

 

Two great games with lots of story and worth multiple playthroughs.

[Zauski]

The Mass Effect series is great, so is Deus Ex

[FCesar99]
