Me with mass effect trilogy
EdgarAllanPoo
Final fantasy 7 and Zelda: Ocarina of time did that to me.
CatTranslator
Definitely Bioshock 3. That ending was a pure mindfuck. And then the DLCs... 'Would you kindly?'
bannatoosmallforscale
Bioshock. My 12 year old brain took about a week to compute ‘would you kindly’
Pestilence51
Kingdom Hearts for me.

This. Every time this. And every game

Mass effect for me

Would you kindly play the Bioshock games again for me?
Supersaiyanricksanchez
fuck love these games so cool, infinate fucked my head with the ending wasn't expecting it to be that deep
MianusStar
That reminds me of Subnautica.

I actually felt a little homesick when I was preparing the Neptune for launch. "well.. it's been quite a journey...*looks at habitat sadly.*

Every Elder Scrolls game
tankjr85
That was me with Life is Strange.
beatschubser
Same. To this day one of the best games I've ever played.
Loved it. I listen to the soundtrack at least once a week.
AghraPhinagold
The Mass Effect trilogy. I miss every character. Even you Vega, but I'll still never pick you.
dogestyle
Mordin Solus' redemption arc ;_;
Eiladar
Dishonored. I love me a good revenge story, and that was the closest a game's ever got to The Count of Monte Cristo.
CirB
The sequel was also surprisingly good, IMO.
Also, for similar reasons, Assassins Creed: Origins.
This may sound strange but Portal 2 was the game that got to me when it ended. I needed Wheatley jabbering in my ear

That moment you're ascending that last elevator and it's finally dawning on you just how much you've gone through over the several hours 1/
So damn good
you've spent playing the last two games. It's how I imagine John McClain felt at the end of Die Hard. 2/2
thermiee
Deus Ex Human Revolution for me. Can our human conscience really deal with a cybernetic society?
Kemi337
Very thought provoking - I just think your decisions in game should have locked you out of pressing certain buttons.
lljkstonefish
and I think the ending shouldn't have been presented as buttons, but an automated sequence bason on those earlier decisions.
Agreed - the fact that it was ACTUAL LITERAL BUTTONS made it seem kind of cheap but it is hard to nail the endings in a game like that.
BurtMacklinYouSOB
Halo 1-3
somepersondoingsomethings
Man I love halo. Reading those first few books made it so much more real and in depth too
yh those books add so much more story, love all the novels though
Denvercoder09
Reach when the mission goal was "survive" and then the visor cracks...
one the best endings
DrankTooMuchMead
Chrono Trigger.
Theraininspaindrainsmainlydownthemainvein
Ohhhh it has been a while, I think I need to dive into that again
vudak
Started a replay of this yesterday - fun times ahead :D
Frabbachino
4. Playing it again a month later but deepening the sadness when it just doesn't feel the same as before
I keep seeing folks say they make re-playing a game a yearly tradition. I don't think I've ever played a story-driven game that doesn't 1/
bore me on a revisit. 2/2
FuckThatUsernameIsTaken
the discovery of the story/world is to important for me. I tried replaying witcher 3 recently. But it's not the same when i know all already
It's weird, but like, with the fact that the ending of a game is no longer unexplored, I can never feel a yearning to go back.
Iwannaseeit
Yeah I agree. Games and books you still remember are just boring. You already know what's happening, what's the point?
I sincerely envy the folks who're like "I finished Link's Awakening 5 times last year". Like, I WISH I could enjoy a game that much.
I can get playing certain games to get better times or harder difficulty but definitely not for the story over and over
TemporaryAssignment
I feel like this when people have 1000's of hours in Skyrim and still enjoy the game. I couldn't get more than 30-40 hours out of it.
I never played Skyrim, but I'm 100% the player who'd stick to the main quest.
jackmccw
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
KanyesSideFish
I recently replayed it. That game was so ahead of its time
Traja01
Oh my god my nostalgia is at 15 right now....what have you done to me.

Finished bioshock infinite and burial at sea over christmas break for the first time. I’m still not over it.
Love it

That game didn't know when to stop giving me gut punches.

Playing them again 20 years later and they feel like new again.
Theduckofawe

I play through Shining Force every other year or so. A small game by today’s standards but so so fun.

GOAT for snes, maybe rpgs in general. It does feel smaller now, but then again I was smaller when I first found it.
In my top 3 for rpgs for sure. No question.
auroragoryalice82
In this respect I am lucky to have a memory like a gnat. It takes me much less time. But in all other respects it stinks.
JHawke
I still remember almost every ending of every book movie and game I ever saw... Sure I get some stuff wrong, but generally :(
Cakinator
I just replayed ratchet and clank with my kids and it was awesome. “No you gotta go that way.” “Really?” “I promise you definitely do.”
SandmanSlim89
My brother just got the new r&c for Xmas. We’ve played all of them. Not always at launch, but we always pick up the most recent
*got the latest r&c. It’s not exactly “new”
I do miss the suggestive titles and humor of the earlier R&C games tho... they for sure shifted to a younger audience.

Playing FFX right now. Got the international version this time.

I downloaded a new start mod where you skip the intro and have your own. I was a hunter in the woods when the dragon came.

Dude, I played Xenoblade Chronicles 9 years ago. I still remember pretty much the entire game.
Working a bunch and playing 2-3 big sandbox quest games, I remember the major points, but forget enough to have fun.

Skyrim is shit compared to that.

LimpShrimps
My first playthrough of dark souls was amazing. All my other playthroughs are really fun as well but that first one goddamn.
My third one was the best one. First one ended quickly in ragequit (old PC version w/o mods making it playable), second was way too 1/2
difficult to pay any attention to what is going outside the immediate battlescape. Third one was the charm. Challenging but I took my 2/3
time to put the pieces together and immerse myself into the lore. One of the best games ever. 3/3
It becomes a different kind of fun. First playthrough had me cowering at every turn. Subsequent ones are for flipping that script.
My latest one I’ve just been backstabbing and parrying everything.
TheDarkPunisher
Riposting like you're on imgur!
This is the way.
Alas, too many of my old favorites have not aged well (usually controls-wise). Also, I don't appear to have as much time & patience (1)
for the looooooong play sessions anymore. (2/2)
The grind was real back in the day

Same with a book. Real investment in a narrative like in a good game or book comes with a price your heart pays forever.

I have a problem with this. I get to the end of a book or game and I just don't finish. Plus the knowledge that there is still content that

McCaffrey's original Dragons of Pern run had that impact on me. Robinton and AIVAS' death....the books that came after just felt...hollow.

Reread Stephen King's Insomnia again two years ago, I was just sitting in my car, crying. Beautiful ending.

The Name of the wind... Waiting for the 3rd book but also don't want it to come out because it means it'll be over for good
A leak said it is coming out 2020 august. Storm light book 4 is nov 17th.
There will be a book 4??? That would be so great!
King killer is supposed to have other books in that universe. He can barely finish tho. Storm light is supposed to be 10 books

Agreed! I just finished the Iron Druid series audiobook. When the final chapter finished... I said out loud "What am I gonna do now?".

Baconwizard
I respect that you selectively deleted spaces to fit it into one comment
Have any recommendations, I have been reading a lot of fantasy lately. I tell friends to read the best books last. Makes the good ones dull
Reading through the other comments, I think there are a lot of great suggestions. Name of the Wind has been mentioned.
I think I have read a lot of the big ones, most of Sanderson, name of the wind
KingXizor
Indeed. I have to wait years in between rereads now for The Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, and the New Jedi Order.→
Stories where the story moves you and you get really caught up in change you. They leave you chasing that emotional high.
My favorite part was mat coming into his own and his whole weird story. Perrin was a great story to hold through the nothingness that happen
I hated Nyneave the first read-through fresh out of HS. When I red it again later, she became my favorite character.
idontlikepickingusername
Dark Tower, should have listened to King and not read the end.
I started this series as a tween, when only the first 3 books were out. It's was a nearly lifelong journey to finish the series.
LurkDouglas
Sephirothdidnothingwrong
The end was the best part. It’s about the journey itself not the end. And he even sprinkles in the hope. Can’t get more profound.
At the time I remember being upset but years later I think I agree with you, although we may have to talk about your username.
sandman1972
I have the last book sitting in the shelf for a year now, I think about it many times, almost have the courage to go and read the damn thing
I liked the ending with or without the add on chapter. Both are good.
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
I just recently started reading books again, and I'm pretty happy knowing that there are 100s of great books that I haven't read yet.
What have you been reading recently
Hitchhiker's Guide, Kingkiller Chronicles, The Expanse, The Lightbringer series, and I'm about to start on The Witcher.
I have read king killer, and just finished lightbringer. I thought about the expanse and hitch hikers. Son of the black sword was good too
I would also recommend mistborn and way of Kings. Brandon Sanderson is the best Fantasy author out rn in my opinion.
baercrow
I can fully say that you are right. I read Good Omens again, finishing it was sad...
wtforero
The movie “inkheart” expresses this. When I’m immersed, I become a character, and then snap back to me at the end. It’s jarring
NotAHappyBunny
Just recently read Good Omens, absolutely love the book and show.
AnonOmis1000
Honestly, this is kinda why I stopped reading.
mojojack88
Me too! After Robert Jordan passed and The Wheel of Time series was finished off, I couldn’t seriously read a book>
Read Brandon Sanderson. He finished wheel of time. I would start with mistborn then read way of Kings
for years! I just started a series (by the author that completed WOT for Jordan) and I feel free again. Finally.
Brandon Sanderson? What are you reading rn
aykayem929
KOTOR 1 and 2, the crushing reality that there won't be a third.

The SWTOR has a solid story, set 300 years after KOTOR. Wouldn't recommend to play full mmo but the class leveling storys are alright.

Spoiler alert!
GeneralWho
At first I was like "yeah, don't ruin it" and then I wondered how long it's been and...ouch.
[EXTRA SPOILER ALERT] One of my only gripes with that whole game is that that death's a fakeout. I can't think of anything bringing Agro 1/
back does for the story or emotions, that bringing Momo back doesn't do already. Except perhaps the implication that Momo doesn't 2/
recognise Agro and might therefore not know who Wander is. 3/3
Sigge1981
That was me, with Mass Effect. Though the crushing realization took way longer until it got to me.

WhatInTarnationMyDudes
But the ending of mass effecr 3. God damn it. Almost like GoT
MoFidelity
I came back much later and played with all the DLCs. The end went from barely passable to a slow, wrenching heartbreak. /2
The Citadel DLC was a standout. Felt like you were really saying goodbye to everyone before your inevitable deaths, and the end of the game.
No argument though that the original end was sadly botched. Should have just taken the time to release the extended one in the first place.
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Yo dawg I heard you don't want to be killed by synthetics. So I made some synthetics to kill you so you won't be killed by synthetics.
NaughtButOne
It was so much worse, for me. The dev reaction, especially. Calling fans entitled, saying we just didn't "get it". Banning people on forums.
Because you didn't get it.
They eventually released the Extended Cut - which is really just polishing a turd - but did so with the attitude of "well since some of >
> you people don't get the brilliance of our ending, you can have this". I'm still not over it. I can't get that invested in a game again.
"Choose the color of your ending!" No good confrontation. No good realization. Just "AI cycles, lawl" and then...fuck.
Apparently there was some scrapped idea where they were being used as massive super computers to deal with some dark matter doomsday problem
They integrate the best civs into themselves to continue to work on it. They chose humanity to be next.
The ULTIMATE decision, and the biggest punch in the gut, ever, would have been to decide whether to kill them, wiping all of their progress
NetflixAndHockey
RIP marauder shields. He tried to save us from the ending. Greatest final boss battle ever.
Clarion5
I am one of the few that liked it (with incorporation of the Leviathan DLC).
I still have to go back and play it with the DLCs. How many are there anyways?
There are 5 for single player. https://www.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-3/DLC#Single-player_DLC
The Citadel DLC is worth it. You get these extra moments with your crew that are worth it, and it has some great humor in it. 1/2
And it kind of redeems the ending a bit. 2/2
the dlc does make a difference plus the extended ending you can download gives it a decent ending
dotnetbeast
Don't get me started.
Khagaan
While some of the Catqlyst stuff was... meh. The Symbiosis ending fit perfectly to my playthrough. I was quite happy with that...
drainbamage1011
It was frustrating that their claims of all the choices you made along the way affecting the ending came down to the same 3 options...
...for an ending. But I also thought the Symbiosis option made sense in the context of preserving life while stopping the Reaper threat.

GreaterAias
1) Maybe you should avoid the comment sections of popular games? Especially given the recent popularity of The Witcher books, games and
2) Series? Totally understand you being busy, but Witcher 3 is an astonishingly good game. My favourite game of the 2010's. You'll love it!
It came out in 2015. Lol. That's like spoiling the end of Avenegers: Age of Ultron, which also came out in 2015. You should play it already
Spoiling a movie, a book, whatever, can strip someone his pleasure of discovery, just think about it and avoid it if you can.
flakeOfDoom
On one hand, yeah - on the other hand, spoiling one possible outcome of one part of a game doesn't seem like it'd cause much issue.
somekindofusernamething
its not a locked in ending, there are multiple outcomes to every major story in that game.
1) I don't actively spoil - it's a dick move. But there's got to be some sort of reasonable time limit. We surely can't go through life
2) Avoiding discussions because people haven't read a book or watched a film?

It's just as good the second time! I played it when it came out and then again last year. Amazing game up until the very end.

MalcolmTuckerReaction
Have to disagree with you there. I'm probably in a minority there but I feel the last of us is massively over rated in terms of its story
GoodLuckRock
Agreed. It's subjective, but I never felt like it lived up to its hype or potential. It was generically good, not great.
Nah I also thought it was massively overrated in terms of story. We’re out here.
You are correct about being in the minority. It was just voted PlayStation’s “Game of the Decade”. You must just have a different taste in
games, like.. maybe Madden and WWE and COD. No problem with that.
Certainly is a problem with madden, WWE and cod my friend! I like dark souls, binding of Issac's, Undertale. And being top rated ps game...
Doesn't really mean much, as of course PS is gonna have a widely liked ps exclusive as it's top game.
daveyis
You're overrated in terms of story
Maybe I am. Then again I've never rated my story very highly, just like to think of myself as a fairly standard story.
Shmeadicus
I just finished it last week and I have to agree. Didn't really affect me much. Great game, nevertheless.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
I'm also wondering, what rubbed you the wrong way in the story? What game does have a good story according to you? What did you take away?
That's my point I guess, I took nothing away from it. Maybe the hype coloured my opinion from the start. I lost sympathy with a guy who was
Mowing down people without batting an eye lid. It's doesn't show the characterization of a man struggling with the actions he's taking.
Hmm, ok. I had another experience. I found a man that did everything and anything he needed to survive after his daughter died, who had to
Spec of the line is an exemplar of this type of character progression.
But everyone is different! So if you loved the game I say we give high fives all round no matter what!

The story isnt very good. However, the character interaction and progression is what I believe people appreciate.
majorserenity
Not many games make me cry but last of us gets me several times, everytime I play it.
Fair point
Matrican
Can I ask what games you think have great stories? For me Last of Us had a great story and gameplay.
It's a fair question, if I was to pick my top games ever it would be dark souls, half-life, witcher 3 and portal
One more, spec ops the line. Now that's a story that sticks with you
I’m not the same guy, though I also thought the story was meh. HZD probably had my favorite story.
That game was amazing, gotta ask, is it the story itself? Or the setting? Because many I know like both HZD and LOS equally much story wise.
But I really did like the story itself. I thought it was an interesting take on the apocalypse. And when Faro did the thing, I hurt.
But when talking I hear more about some liking the setting of HZD better since it is original, while LOS is a zombie-ish centric game.
I liked the setting because I live in Colorado. Was fun to visit red rocks at the Air Force academy chapel.

Me with mass effect trilogy

Final fantasy 7 and Zelda: Ocarina of time did that to me.

Definitely Bioshock 3. That ending was a pure mindfuck. And then the DLCs... 'Would you kindly?'

Dishonored. I love me a good revenge story, and that was the closest a game's ever got to The Count of Monte Cristo.

The sequel was also surprisingly good, IMO.

Also, for similar reasons, Assassins Creed: Origins.

Deus Ex Human Revolution for me. Can our human conscience really deal with a cybernetic society?
Kemi337
Very thought provoking - I just think your decisions in game should have locked you out of pressing certain buttons.
lljkstonefish
and I think the ending shouldn't have been presented as buttons, but an automated sequence bason on those earlier decisions.
Kemi337
Agreed - the fact that it was ACTUAL LITERAL BUTTONS made it seem kind of cheap but it is hard to nail the endings in a game like that.

FuckThatUsernameIsTaken
the discovery of the story/world is to important for me. I tried replaying witcher 3 recently. But it's not the same when i know all already
Schmuck4hire
It's weird, but like, with the fact that the ending of a game is no longer unexplored, I can never feel a yearning to go back.
Iwannaseeit
Yeah I agree. Games and books you still remember are just boring. You already know what's happening, what's the point?
Schmuck4hire
I sincerely envy the folks who're like "I finished Link's Awakening 5 times last year". Like, I WISH I could enjoy a game that much.
Iwannaseeit
I can get playing certain games to get better times or harder difficulty but definitely not for the story over and over
TemporaryAssignment
I feel like this when people have 1000's of hours in Skyrim and still enjoy the game. I couldn't get more than 30-40 hours out of it.

I would also recommend mistborn and way of Kings. Brandon Sanderson is the best Fantasy author out rn in my opinion.

I can fully say that you are right. I read Good Omens again, finishing it was sad...

The movie “inkheart” expresses this. When I’m immersed, I become a character, and then snap back to me at the end. It’s jarring

MoFidelity
I came back much later and played with all the DLCs. The end went from barely passable to a slow, wrenching heartbreak. /2
MoFidelity
The Citadel DLC was a standout. Felt like you were really saying goodbye to everyone before your inevitable deaths, and the end of the game.
MoFidelity
No argument though that the original end was sadly botched. Should have just taken the time to release the extended one in the first place.

It was so much worse, for me. The dev reaction, especially. Calling fans entitled, saying we just didn't "get it". Banning people on forums.
Promethianfire
Because you didn't get it.
NaughtButOne
They eventually released the Extended Cut - which is really just polishing a turd - but did so with the attitude of "well since some of >

> you people don't get the brilliance of our ending, you can have this". I'm still not over it. I can't get that invested in a game again.

"Choose the color of your ending!" No good confrontation. No good realization. Just "AI cycles, lawl" and then...fuck.

Apparently there was some scrapped idea where they were being used as massive super computers to deal with some dark matter doomsday problem

They integrate the best civs into themselves to continue to work on it. They chose humanity to be next.

The Citadel DLC is worth it. You get these extra moments with your crew that are worth it, and it has some great humor in it. 1/2

the dlc does make a difference plus the extended ending you can download gives it a decent ending

While some of the Catqlyst stuff was... meh. The Symbiosis ending fit perfectly to my playthrough. I was quite happy with that...
drainbamage1011
It was frustrating that their claims of all the choices you made along the way affecting the ending came down to the same 3 options...
drainbamage1011
...for an ending. But I also thought the Symbiosis option made sense in the context of preserving life while stopping the Reaper threat.

2) Series? Totally understand you being busy, but Witcher 3 is an astonishingly good game. My favourite game of the 2010's. You'll love it!

Spoiling a movie, a book, whatever, can strip someone his pleasure of discovery, just think about it and avoid it if you can.
flakeOfDoom
On one hand, yeah - on the other hand, spoiling one possible outcome of one part of a game doesn't seem like it'd cause much issue.
somekindofusernamething
its not a locked in ending, there are multiple outcomes to every major story in that game.
GreaterAias
1) I don't actively spoil - it's a dick move. But there's got to be some sort of reasonable time limit. We surely can't go through life
GreaterAias
2) Avoiding discussions because people haven't read a book or watched a film?

Damn bro. I've been a gamer since year dash. Crazy world

If you like Heavy Rain I strongly suggest Detroit: Become Human. Same studio did both

DBH was amazing! I was teary eyed through many of my ill planned choices
lightningboltkid1
I never got too far in DBH, but I found out you can access a gun in the beginning. I shot Todd's stupid face as soon as I could.

Nier: Automata

I'm playing it right now, honestly gameplay is fun but the fact that literally everyone is suicidal turns me off
fan2345677890
I liked this one, i think just because of how massively confusing and complex they mde it, a lot of "OHHHH" moments.

I would pay so much to play it again for the first time
PillowFortPolice
It's just as good the second time! I played it when it came out and then again last year. Amazing game up until the very end.
PillowFortPolice
I LOVE that game, top 3 games I've ever played. But the ending felt like they ran out of money to me.

I was just watching my fiance play this like an hour ago and it looked/looks very very good.
MushroomPieModel
Was a great story, with a good twist at the end!

I jumped up from my chair and screamed at the monitor when the final reveal happened. Don't really know what it is anymore. Time to replay.
MushroomPieModel
It proper surprised me, just remember shouting no at the tv when it happened
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Have to disagree with you there. I'm probably in a minority there but I feel the last of us is massively over rated in terms of its story
GoodLuckRock
Agreed. It's subjective, but I never felt like it lived up to its hype or potential. It was generically good, not great.
Traja01
Nah I also thought it was massively overrated in terms of story. We’re out here.
SecretlySkeletonHitler
You are correct about being in the minority. It was just voted PlayStation’s “Game of the Decade”. You must just have a different taste in
SecretlySkeletonHitler
games, like.. maybe Madden and WWE and COD. No problem with that.
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Certainly is a problem with madden, WWE and cod my friend! I like dark souls, binding of Issac's, Undertale. And being top rated ps game...
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Doesn't really mean much, as of course PS is gonna have a widely liked ps exclusive as it's top game.
daveyis
You're overrated in terms of story
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Maybe I am. Then again I've never rated my story very highly, just like to think of myself as a fairly standard story.
Shmeadicus
I just finished it last week and I have to agree. Didn't really affect me much. Great game, nevertheless.

I'm also wondering, what rubbed you the wrong way in the story? What game does have a good story according to you? What did you take away?
MalcolmTuckerReaction
That's my point I guess, I took nothing away from it. Maybe the hype coloured my opinion from the start. I lost sympathy with a guy who was
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Mowing down people without batting an eye lid. It's doesn't show the characterization of a man struggling with the actions he's taking.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Hmm, ok. I had another experience. I found a man that did everything and anything he needed to survive after his daughter died, who had to
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Spec of the line is an exemplar of this type of character progression.
MalcolmTuckerReaction
But everyone is different! So if you loved the game I say we give high fives all round no matter what!
Menkhu
The story isnt very good. However, the character interaction and progression is what I believe people appreciate.
majorserenity
Not many games make me cry but last of us gets me several times, everytime I play it.
MalcolmTuckerReaction
Fair point
Matrican
Can I ask what games you think have great stories? For me Last of Us had a great story and gameplay.
MalcolmTuckerReaction
It's a fair question, if I was to pick my top games ever it would be dark souls, half-life, witcher 3 and portal
MalcolmTuckerReaction
One more, spec ops the line. Now that's a story that sticks with you
Traja01
I’m not the same guy, though I also thought the story was meh. HZD probably had my favorite story.
Matrican
That game was amazing, gotta ask, is it the story itself? Or the setting? Because many I know like both HZD and LOS equally much story wise.
Traja01
But I really did like the story itself. I thought it was an interesting take on the apocalypse. And when Faro did the thing, I hurt.
Matrican
But when talking I hear more about some liking the setting of HZD better since it is original, while LOS is a zombie-ish centric game.
Traja01
I liked the setting because I live in Colorado. Was fun to visit red rocks at the Air Force academy chapel.
