My fellow gamers,
My friends and I need to settle a wager. We all have differing opinions on which game we think has the most compelling story-line. So, we need your help in deciding the winner. As for the guidelines to the wager, we made a few caveats: 1.) No PC only games (i.e. Diablo, W.O.W., etc.); 2.)The story-line could not span over multiple games (i.e. Final Fantasy X & X2); and 3.) You have to consider the state of technology at the time the game was released (i.e. Final Fantasy III for SNES was epic when it was released in 1994 but it does not necessarily hold up over time). Here are our five finalists:
A.) Halo - Xbox
B.) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - N64
C.) Mass Effect - Xbox 360
D.) Final Fantasy VII - PS1
E.) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Xbox 360
As for criteria, we based our selections on the following: 1. Character Development; 2.) How engaging was the Plot; 3.) Unforseeable twists and turns in the story; 4.) Would you be upset if/when a key character dies/died (especially crucial in FF7); and 5.) Did you wait for all the credits to finish to see if there was a secret ending or additional footage.
I know the 5 game list above isn't the most extensive so feel free to add any game that you think is worthy but please include a description or else your input will get tossed out. Let me know what you think (...Personally, my pick was Mass Effect). We are looking forward to settling this wager.
Thanks,
Zephyr
