It's basically some site that lets people do user submitted lists. It's a silly one, but don't take it as a sign of more than it is. Just some guy on the internet.

 

It's probably just another symptom of the intellectualized rationalization of entertainment. "I like something, it must be smart! I think stories are smart. STORY" You'd be surprised how common that is.

Perhaps more gamers are more aligned to MY tastes than previously thought...but still not on the Obs. boards....or the bio boards for that matter.

I didn't know what BL meant, so I searched BL game in Yahoo, and I got some interesting results. I didn't know that was Volo's type of thing, but I'm not here to judge.

I really do not know, when I played it last time, it seemed to me even more linear than FFXIII... and I did noticed that I still hate Squall now, like I was hating him 10+ years ago, when I played FFVIII for the first time... Different people, different opinions...

That rings a bell somehow... wasn't that the whiny emo boy that you felt a dire need to put over you knee and give a good spanking? One of those FF games had a PC demo a long time ago (can't remember if it was VIII, but that guy together with the horrors of the control scheme made me swear never to touch a FF game again in any shape or form :p

 

As for games with good stories, I mentally seperate them into two categories, one where you experience the game writers story and the other (my favourite) where the game provides you with a setting, mechanics and freedom to experience you own story (which may vary from one playthrough to another).

 

As for the best of the former kind, that is about as subjective as asking if Coke is better than Pepsi. It can be technically brilliant, yet utter dull if the subject matter doesn't interest you. The latter leaves it entirely to your own imagination whether the story is worth experiencing. Sadly the latter type of game is as rare as an honest politician in an election year :)

He actually makes some progress during the game. "We're all from the same orphanage and the reason we forgot that was because we used GF's so much" and "Time Compression" were two plotpoints that got me more.

What the **** is Oblivion doing in that list? It's got a story straight out of every Buffy season ending. Dying order, hell is coming, you are the only one who can get all the maguffins and stop disaster.

 

At least I assume that was the story. With such weak characterisation and no dialogue worthy of the name I had trouble staying awake through the whole thing.

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
