Me and my buddy have been playing Dying Light, while the story line isn't stellar it's funny to run around with friends whacking zombies and do the side quests as well as the story line that it actually does have. Watch some videos on it and make sure you can run it, my i5 4590 and gtx 650 ti barely can.

define "story games", most games are narrative driven, therefore a story in and of themselves.

 

then there's of course the above mentioned games where it's much more of a film with some choice and consequence for the observer.

Thanks for the advice, might want to try some of those.

Uh?

"Best story games"

->"Dying light"

Yeah, no.

 

The story in Dying Light is there for the sake of it honestly. You don't get attached to any characters, you make some really harsh decisions (like killing someone you care about which has turned into a zombie, obviously) , but you don't really feel attached to the story. Sometimes it doesn't make too much sense, but you just go with it. And the end...oh God the end...they didn't even finish the story. They leave you in a city filled with zombies which is about to get razed , where you still need to do something , yada yada yada. But hey , it's over because you killed the-wanna-be-Vaas-antagonist so it's over. Yeah...the rest was probably left up to the DLC to complete.

Anyway, the game is actually not that bad. The gameplay is great and fun, with a really satisfying parkour system. The story is not that great however.

[Minzo]

The Beginners guide was... special.

 

 

Don't expect too much and... much gaming. But you will shiver!

[wiryo990]

Well, i might wanna try them all i guess.

[matjojo]

hands down life is strange, just play it now. just do it.

[yannickverc]

Storydriven "games" that I highly recommend:

Brothers - A tale of two sons

Thomas was alone

Thomas was alone.. This game literally made me feel like I had a connection with a square and those other shapes.. Just amazing

Bioshock Infinite, Brothers.

Yea, brothers is an amazing game too! The controls are also amazing. 

[xMishax]

why dont you play metal gear? Ive recently started chronological marathon of metal gear story. Yesterday Ive completed MGS Snake Eater and I was completely blown away with the story of this game. Really recommend it (y) 

[ivhyn]

Life is Strange (amazing game) - there's a demo too

Anything by Telltale Games

Bioshok Infinite is pretty good too

From what I heard the Dreamfall/Longest Journey games have a good story aswell (The Longest Journey (pretty old) > Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (old) > Dreamfall Chapters)

[EChondo]

The Talos Principle

[danhulud]

To The Moon

[GeekJump]

What's with all these game from 2014/2015!?!?!

 

My list spans the decade!  Bioware's my Bae

 

• Jade Empire
• KOTOR 1 
• KOTOR 2
• Mass Effect
• Dragon Age 1 & Inquisition (2 was meh but sadly hugely relevant to Inquisition. Just wiki it)
• Jedi Academy
• Bioshock
• Chrono Cross
• South Park: The Stick of Truth (especially if you're a south park fan. I stopped watching years ago and still LMAO during the entire game)

will think of more and add later...

[mathijs727]

• Life is Strange (best story game EVER)

The Last of Us

The Walking Dead

The Wolf Among Us

The Witcher 3

Bioshock Infinite

South Park: The Stick of Truth

[Unhelpful]

• Dragon Age 1 & Inquisition (2 was meh but sadly hugely relevant to Inquisition. Just wiki it)

I honestly think that 2 is better than Inquisition. They eventually fixed it and made it a pretty good game. The primary issue that I had with inquisition is that you don't really feel like a character, you don't feel like the Inquisitor... You feel like the Inquisition itself. Your past doesn't matter, and the character for most races and classes is fairly flat. While there is some appeal to the, "Your past doesn't matter. You are now who you are now." mindset, it made for a pretty flat character imo. DA:O and DA:I both achieve you becoming who are now, not who you used to be, and non-flat characters fairly well. Although I'm not a fan of male Hawke voice acting.

 

The followers were pretty damn good though.

 

Bioshock Infinite

Dragon Age Origins

Bioshock 1

Baldur's Gate 1&2, although 2 is much better

Mass Effect. All of them. The ending of 3 is a bit meh, but the rest is great.

My main issue with 2 was that it wasn't a real open world game like 1 and 3. It was pretty linear and broken into acts where you could never go back to certain places/events if you missed something because it time skipped a bit for each act. 

 

Inquisition had acts to but, except for a few random quests, you could still go back to previous maps. But I do agree that the inquisitor is the least 'special' of the playable characters. No matter the race or class its all the same in that game.

1 Was not open world. It was hub and zone based.

 

It was more open than 2 though, I 100% agree.
