The best narrative I can recall in a game is the Secret of Monkey Island. And that's only /because/ it's an interactive story, so literally lends itself to the narrative. <br /> Others games I can think of that are a bit up their arses when it comes to story is the Thief series along with the Elder Scrolls. As Xen mentioned on this thread some time ago, recent GTAs are overblown and are trying to be a 2 hour gangster movie spread across 30+ hours of gameplay. <span class="emoticon e_csad" title=":C"><span class="e__">:C</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41455.27&return_msg=41455.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41455.27"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41455_28"></a><div class="message" id="message_41455_28"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">24 Jul 2018 16:33</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Jul 2018 17:03"></span></span> <span class="message_count">28 of 40</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.28">41455.28</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.27#a41455_27" target="_self">41455.27</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Much as I hated the premise and most all of the FC3 story, it was considerably redeemed by some epic firefights in the last few levels, where (e.g.) you had to rescue dude's bro and he flies a helicopter badly while you man the mounted HMG.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41455.28&return_msg=41455.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41455.28"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41455_29"></a><div class="message" id="message_41455_29"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">24 Jul 2018 16:35</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">29 of 40</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.29">41455.29</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Also must admit the story in the original Sniper Elite looked promising, I just couldn't get past the hideously awful retro-primitive graphics (which I suppose were cutting edge in their day).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41455.29&return_msg=41455.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41455.29"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41455_30"></a><div class="message" id="message_41455_30"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">24 Jul 2018 21:51</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 29 Jan 2020 17:13"></span></span> <span class="message_count">30 of 40</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.30">41455.30</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.13">41455.13</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Hey shitface, come back and talk to us! <span class="emoticon e_angry" title=":@"><span class="e__">:@</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41455.30&return_msg=41455.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41455.30"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41455_31"></a><div class="message" id="message_41455_31"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 1 Jan 2021 17:52</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">31 of 40</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.31">41455.31</a></div> <div class="message_body"> This is (apparently, going by thread title) something to do with GTAV. Short attention spans. apparently.<br /> <br /> Anyhoo, I've been playing this for an hour or two a day for most of the past week, and just as a sandbox, it is fooooking awesome (I did a couple of missions, which are also awesome but maybe too much work to figure out)! I've wound up playing some black petty criminal in the L.A. burbs who's ace at jacking cars, but not necessarily ace at driving (getting better though), deffo ace at crashing cars! I've haven't had so much fun tear-assing around a city creating mayhem since NFSPU. So I jacks a car/truck/ambulance/whatevs, drives it side-swiping, t-boning, rear-ending and front-ending all kinds of other vehicles. Jumping out, taking pot shots at the freeway, and dying in a hail of police bullets soon thereafter. Well, not really dying since I always wind up walking out of the hospital. <span class="emoticon e_crying" title=":-(("><span class="e__">:-((</span></span> <span class="emoticon e_partyblower" title=":-O~~~"><span class="e__">:-O~~~</span></span> <span class="emoticon e_angry" title=":-@"><span class="e__">:-@</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41455.31&return_msg=41455.27" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41455.31"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41455_32"></a><div class="message" id="message_41455_32"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Dave!!<span class="message_time"> 1 Jan 2021 18:03</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 1 Jan 2021 18:15"></span></span> <span class="message_count">32 of 40</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.32">41455.32</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41455.27#a41455_31" target="_self">41455.31</a></div> <div class="message_body"> GTAV is a very good game, don't want to spoil anything, but you are in for a treat once you start to reach some of the heist missions.
