This thread will fail because it requires intellectual discussion but, here we go:
>mfw I'm a 40 year old gamer and I have yet to play as single game that had a decent story.
For context purposes I am easily drawn in to a good story on TV and I'm an avid reader of fiction.
If you're an incel don't reply. You have no life experience and your favorite literature is the Master Chief saga or Star Wars EU. You don't know what a good story is.

SILENCE
OP here. For more context. I have played about every decent game made since Amiga to now. Im playing Arkham City GOTY on my PC now. I'm loving this game but I could give two fricks about the story. Yeah, yeah, get the bad guys save the city. I'm not depressed or trying to bait or shit post.
>Im playing Arkham City GOTY on my PC now. I'm loving this game but I could give two fricks about the story
this tells me you have shit taste because city is the worst arkham game
Odin's Sphere, Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds, SMT Devil Survivor on the top of my head have all better stories than 90% of TV series. There are a shitload more and you are a disingenuous trolling homosexual.
>Outer Wilds

in all fields
Don't care. You don't understand youngling, you will tell me Mass Effect is an epic space odyssey when your frame of reference for what is good lore is based on your experience with Pikachus back story or Goosebumps stories to judge what is a scary game. Any oldgay reading this will immediately understand
It's not backstabbing when someone says you're a homosexual to your face. Go melt snowflake.
OP here. I think I figured out my own question. Any story with some epic reveals and plot twists...I mean like __insert your favorite movie here__ type of quality. It's because that story or script would be worth way more and then be sold as a movie or TV series. Why waste such an epic tale on a vidya game. Frick that. Let's sell too the highest bidder so I can snort coke off a trophy wife's fake breasts and live lambo life. We will give those moronic kids another zombie apocalypse isometric game. If I'm right, I can't say I wouldn't do the same in that situation if we're being honest here.
>Any story with some epic reveals and plot twists
OP thinks a good story is one with "epic reveals and plot twists", we can all go home now
achievable natty?
Play Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Not reading that

Dark Souls
vidya isn't the medium fit for compelling stories
not that it fundamentally *can't* but rather writing standarts are so low and nobody really can lift them
games with well-liked stories are mostly ones that cleverly utilize (you)r direct involvement: s1 of walking dead boosted telltale into prominence because people really felt like they were responsible themselves, and not just another fictional character
lisa (the painful) is good as a honest straightforward story
regardless, OP as always is a homosexual, but this time he's also a passive agressive Black personhomosexual
How do i become like this?

Detroit Become Human. Not necessarily a great vidya game but a decently told story, for the vidya medium.
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons. Just great all around.
Will be 46 in a month.
We're the first gen to grow up with video games and will be the first to play them in nursing homes, deal with it.
PAh
What is it do you feel games lack in terms of story?
games are not for story.
I appreciate gameplay above all else but to say that games can't focus on anything else limits what people can do with the medium. There are people who believe cartoons shouldn't be anything more than slapstick comedy ala old Looney Tunes, which yes those are all great and better comparatively to the crap on TV now, but if cartoons and animation were strictly limited to just that we wouldn't have things like Akira.
Games are not for story because experiencing a story is inherently passive and not truly interactive.
This is where tiers come in. Akira is great I love it, but it's still within the realm of pop art, I don't think it transcends and engages with all of the greatest art to be forever memorable.
Popular art will be memorable longer than art that is only appreciated by pretentious elitists and people desperate to be counted among them.
I'm of the opinion that you play video games for interesting mechanics and possibly neat characters or scenarios, but I don't believe story telling in a good meaningful way is possible in vidya. Reada book or watch a film for that.
I'd recommend some but it sounds like you're just a smug homosexual that has already come to the conclusion that games can never have a good story
Hotline Miami 1
Best stories are simple stories done well. Majora's Mask is simple but gives you everything you'd want in a story alone. Even the game mechanic wether you like it or not ads to the narrative heavily. Idk why im shilling for MM of all things butt that's really the only video game story i can think of that doesn't try too hard and hits a lot of notes very well.
kys you ignorant ndorid
Something tells me that OP likes dragons.
I can't take anyone who likes dragons seriously.
Dragons are cringe and you will burn in hell OP.

>Calling yourself a gamer
You're not helping at all.
Final Fantasy 7
Hi OP. I'm 40 tomorrow and I'm calling you an insufferable bugman. Bye.
This game has a great story if you larp that they actually finished it.
They finished it, they just switched from a video games medium to a fricking book.
>grown man
>watches TV
cringe
The Nier games (especially the first one) are the only games I’ve ever played that used the strengths of the medium to tell a story. Everything else is just shitty B-tier Hollywood scripts to throw in between gameplay, or bad dungeon master fantasy wank.
hey boomer what about

What remains of Edith Finch
Firewatch (kinda a cheesey story but the setting is good)
That dragon, cancer
Beyond eyes
Say what you want about walking Sims but because they don't have to focus on gameplay the stories are usually where they shine
>expecting a different medium to tell the same kind of story as another medium
you seem dumber than the people who think harry potter or star wars extended universe is high literature
