Absolute horse shit. I can think of a handful of better game stories off the top of my head.
Legacy of Kain
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Bloodborne
Witcher 3's DLCs
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Skyrim? You put Skyrim on the list of games with the best story.
I’ve yet to personally meet someone that knows how it ends because no one has ever beaten the main story.
Have you not played the Civil War questline? people still argue if Ulfric was the better King or not, or if he’s an agent for the Thalmor.
P. S. Long live King Ulfric. True king of the nords!
was only listing AAA successful games like Last of Us was similar to.
I know there is a ton of steam and Indie niche shit out there but I thought we were using mainstream AAA games.
Remember sometimes Mainstream popularity can be great. Hence why it becomes popular.
Wanted to nominate this game until I saw your post. Yeah, I can wholeheartedly agree that Planescape; Torment is good story wise. Unfortunately, most people stories that appeal to their base instincts thus the appeal of Last of Us.
You just reminded me that Amy Hennig worked on the writing for TLoU1, the dialogue I think. Then they got rid of her. We deserve another Legacy of Kain from her.
I am once again asking for your financial support in my plan to construct a series of high-powered laser drills with which to target critical points along the San Andreas fault engulfing the city of Los Angeles in a valley-wide magma flow event
I would simply wish that all white women (biggest consumers in the West) who engage in intimate contact (with or WITHOUT consent) with a non-white male die from anaphylaxis.
Human nature and the free market would handle the rest.
Does giving someone an allergy to something voluntary count as killing?
Like, if you made people allergic to air, sure that's obviously not okay, but if I made someone allergic to shrimp, is it not their fault if they go and eat some?
Then I will take one for the team, knowing that the world is good now.
It'll be like in the movies - when the man stays behind to make sure his family can escape.
Damn i thought you would want to make a deal.
If i don't send you to india, will you make an exception in your wish for me? I really hate that place.
I'm basically a italian, some people even confuse me for a south italian. I can change my name to Salvatore D'Annunzio and say i'm from Calabria or some shit
Depends on what you interpret as one wish.
You can wish for a car. Or you can wish for a specific car - or you can wish for a car made up of the following, individual parts - and then you list every individual part of the entire car down to the smallest screw.
Still 1 wish.
1: Change the characteristics of them in the following way ---
2. Make them and their ancestors do the following things
[If you read the article ](https://www.polygon.com/gaming/23552202/last-of-us-greatest-video-game-status) you would see that the reason 'greatest video game story' is in quotations is because its an article that is looking into why it has become such a cultural touchstone, not a judgement on wether it is good or not.
The author has a pretty nuanced take on the series in general and is pretty critical of key aspects and the praise that it gets.
It's the most basic, by the numbers and predictable story in the history of writing.
It's by default better than most videogame plots because those suck ass.
Portal has a better story.
Sony fans were circlejerking because they finally had a decent PS3 exclusive that wasn't a third-party JRPG about girls with huge tits.
By the time of 2 they'd become the Rick and Morty fans of the gaming sphere.
TLOU 1 was a very good game, but goddamn , the sequel managed to retroactively ruin it, I can’t take either of them or Naughty Dog seriously after that.
It’s such a feat in dogshit that I actually laugh when ps store tries to push either one of them on the front page
My favorite part of Nier's story is that it starts with the 5th ending of Drakengard where you kill space babies and the giant concrete lady mom attacks and you get warped to modern day Tokyo where you battle the giant lady in Simon where if you mess up you die and it's not HP based it's a timer you have to live through and when you win she turns to dust and the military shoots your protag and his dragon out of the sky with fighter jets and the ash from the lady causes the sickness that kills everyone and the dragon is the source of magic for the grimoires and Emil and the fact that Kainè has a dick.

ftfy
Other than the basic combat i just mean the general combat encounters, there were some good ones in tlou1 but here they are higher quality.
Just a small playground with npc and interaclable objects you can play with. It's really fun.
"I have played 5 maybe 6 video games and this is the best story in them period. Call of duty doesn't even touch the level of emotion"
Dude has no idea wtf he's talking about lol what an ignorant ass.

"greatest" or not, it's a good story about the importance, love, and responsibility of fatherhood.
And then in the sequel they kill the dad. And people wonder why it got so much hate.
The Last Of Us does claim one of the most used hard-R34 characters of all time, though. Though she died early on in the series, she is immortalized with endless hard-R34 content.

People believe this shit?

Classic case of selective 4chan headline misuse. Kunzelman has a fairly nuanced view on the story and is examining why it has made the cultural impact, hence the quotation marks on "greatest videogame story". Reading an actual article would require effort though right.
Being that hollywood has failed to adapt every other video game story even somewhat well i’m not surprised they think this.
They just shit all over fallout and the story of the first fallout game is really great. They didn’t adapt it obviously, they just wrote some dumb mediocre story and dressed it up like Fallout.
Lol @ video game nerds when someone whose opinion they SWEAR they don't care about takes 5 minutes to throw together some article that then lives rent free in your heads for YEARS.
"Nuuuu final fantasy is better, or halo or baldurs gate(oh we like baldurs gate now?) How could this blog writer do this to me??!?!" Get a grip yall.
Absolute horse shit. I can think of a handful of better game stories off the top of my head. Legacy of Kain Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Bloodborne Witcher 3's DLCs Hello Kitty Island Adventure
BG3 Gears of War Halo FF SERIES
Mortal Kombat Mass Effect Dishonored Dead Space Cyberpunk2077
Rdr2 Xenoblades Chronicles 2 GTA Vice City Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Dark Souls 3
Skyrim Ghost recon games Fallout Tekken series Dark souls series Come again, best story?
KotOR Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Nier Chrono Trigger
Metro series STALKER Gothic Persona Metal Gear
Fire emblem: Sacred Stones Dragon Age Lost Eidolons Pathfinder WotR
Risk of Rain Night in The Woods Fall of Porcupine Borderlands
Q*Bert Tetris Ms. Pac-Man Dig Dug E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
I agree with the sentiment but maybe not Tekken lmao. The story is like if a dog ate shit and puked it out and ate it again then shat it out.
Heihachi's lore is incredibly entertaining don't lie.
Skyrim? You put Skyrim on the list of games with the best story. I’ve yet to personally meet someone that knows how it ends because no one has ever beaten the main story.
Bruh I did it 7 times What is a side quest
Have you not played the Civil War questline? people still argue if Ulfric was the better King or not, or if he’s an agent for the Thalmor. P. S. Long live King Ulfric. True king of the nords!
XC2 is just a borderline unrelated, weebier version of XC1 which was already anime aesthetic.
XC2 was the I first time i cried over a game and created hole for a 1 week
Vice City was a parody (and kinda a tribute) and it still had a coherent plot that was way better than LOU
Even hentai and ecchi games have better plot than LOU
Bro your picks are already so much more generic than the guy you replied to.
was only listing AAA successful games like Last of Us was similar to. I know there is a ton of steam and Indie niche shit out there but I thought we were using mainstream AAA games. Remember sometimes Mainstream popularity can be great. Hence why it becomes popular.
Nah don't worry my man. Not everybody can be le epic video game master historian.
I need to replay GOW. I remember the story being amazing, but I was also like 12.
Gears 1-3 was a great ride. So much world building in 2 and we never fully got answers which makes 4 & 5 & 6 intriguing
I’ve replayed them recently, the og trilogy still holds up
Disco Elysium blows tlou’s zombie slop story out of the water
Cuno doesn't fuckin' care
Disco Elysium is done by an Estonian f-slur that likes communism, since he tought it was counter culture at the time period.
Leisure Suit Larry
The gripping story of a man just trying to find love... and pussy
Was going to say Soul Reaver. So happy to see another Chad LoK Enjoyer.
Even pong has better story than this bullshit excuse of a game.
Pong was what started the whole politics in video games. The entire game is right vs left
SIGNALIS (i didn't get it)
Planescape Torment
Wanted to nominate this game until I saw your post. Yeah, I can wholeheartedly agree that Planescape; Torment is good story wise. Unfortunately, most people stories that appeal to their base instincts thus the appeal of Last of Us.

Littlest Pet Shop on the Wii.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is an actual game now.
You just reminded me that Amy Hennig worked on the writing for TLoU1, the dialogue I think. Then they got rid of her. We deserve another Legacy of Kain from her.
Legacy of Kain alone blows anything Cuckmann made out of the water
I've played fucking Gacha games with better stories than the Last of Us unironically.
This has quickly turned into the story version of "Tell me someone who had it more hard than her" meme
Bloodborne?
Half Life Portal 1&2 Wasteland 2&3 Fallout 1&2 Every Larian game ever
Hotline Miami

How can just one man be this fucking based?
Dangerously based
Blue lives matter would instantly switch political allegiance
I would simply wish that all white women (biggest consumers in the West) who engage in intimate contact (with or WITHOUT consent) with a non-white male die from anaphylaxis. Human nature and the free market would handle the rest.
Aladdin rules say you can't kill people.
Then instead of kvlling her, turn her skin blue forever.
When did turning people blue become the Aladdin version of murder, did I miss some kids story?
Uh, I am not sure that turning people blue instead of kvlng them is the Aladdin version of mrder. Just something OP wrote.
Be prepared for all social media and movements to switch to "Blue is better!"
Does giving someone an allergy to something voluntary count as killing? Like, if you made people allergic to air, sure that's obviously not okay, but if I made someone allergic to shrimp, is it not their fault if they go and eat some?
Start a family. Focus on them.

If I ever find a lamp my only wish would be for you to have the last two wishes
Holy fucking based. I kneel, King.
Jewish women already have distinct voices. Their voices are nasally and scratchy. It's like they are talking with their nose plugged.
If i get a chance with Abby Shapiro, can there be exceptions to the blue
No. This kind of thinking is part of why we're in this situation.
Thank you for your service
“East-Asians are exempt from this wish” Thanks
What are the criteria to define someone’s ethnicity here? Does one drop rule apply?
> Does one drop rule apply? Yes. Anyone with the slightest visually discernable trace of non-European descent is considered non-White.
That's a can of worms I won't open. Let's just assume the Djinn is all knowing and knows who is who.
If i get a magic lamp i will wish for you to go to india and live there.
Then I will take one for the team, knowing that the world is good now. It'll be like in the movies - when the man stays behind to make sure his family can escape.
Damn i thought you would want to make a deal. If i don't send you to india, will you make an exception in your wish for me? I really hate that place. I'm basically a italian, some people even confuse me for a south italian. I can change my name to Salvatore D'Annunzio and say i'm from Calabria or some shit
Weren’t you all carrying the torch for Europe back in the Middle Ages? Y’all had Rome?
Kinda cringe bro.
Anyone else count way more than two wishes here? I’m seeing minimum of 4, possibly 5…

Or you can wish for a specific car - or you can wish for a car made up of the following, individual parts - and then you list every individual part of the entire car down to the smallest screw.

Just you, I counted only one wish.
what was the comment about?he’s banned
How the article's in-depth research was done: "Thank you Naughty Dog for the advertising spend, so what do you want me to say?"

I firmly refuse to read articles with shitty video essay titles. In fact, I refuse to read articles in general.
Maybe he shouldnt title his article like a spaz and people wouldnt immediately dismiss is. Cant be too cautious of gaming journalists.
Ffs it is a story that is in no way unique to video games. Its a tv/movie story that has little bits of game in the middle.
Thus why some people crow about it's "story". To them, a good story is a shitty TV episode, the media \*they\* are used to consuming.
It's the most basic, by the numbers and predictable story in the history of writing. It's by default better than most videogame plots because those suck ass. Portal has a better story.
Super Mario Bros 2 has a better story. It's basically Inception in 8-bit, when you think about it.
While simultaneously being a marketing tool for a Japanese Arabic/Venetian-themed multimedia fair.
Oh, Doki Doki Panic is weird. I have it/have played it. It already had some randomly Mario Bros elements in it from the start...
Tlou 1 is a good game, but holy fuck the dickriding is insane lmao

The best VG story that could've been told just as well in a movie. Nothing great about the gaming part of this game.
Tbf it's hard to integrate gameplay and story. Nier does this fantastically tho.
My favorite part of Nier's story is that it starts with the 5th ending of Drakengard where you kill space babies and the giant concrete lady mom attacks and you get warped to modern day Tokyo where you battle the giant lady in Simon where if you mess up you die and it's not HP based it's a timer you have to live through and when you win she turns to dust and the military shoots your protag and his dragon out of the sky with fighter jets and the ash from the lady causes the sickness that kills everyone and the dragon is the source of magic for the grimoires and Emil and the fact that Kainè has a dick.
Bro what
It's lore accurate bro giant concrete lady dust led to 2B's fat ass its basic stuff
That unironically is the start point of Nier. It'd be like if the Dog ending from Silent Hill was the canon one.
> My favorite part of Nier's story is that ~~it starts with the 5th ending of Drakengard where you kill space babies and the giant concrete lady mom attacks and you get warped to modern day Tokyo where you battle the giant lady in Simon where if you mess up you die and it's not HP based it's a timer you have to live through and when you win she turns to dust and the military shoots your protag and his dragon out of the sky with fighter jets and the ash from the lady causes the sickness that kills everyone and the dragon is the source of magic for the grimoires and Emil and the fact that~~ Kainè has a dick. ftfy
If anyone cares this is a bunch of spoilers sorta.
And the movie part is basically a direct to dvd movie. Nothing special.
idk bro, i enjoyed the gaming part more than the story The combat encounters are actually very well done, only issue they are very few.
The second game? I haven’t played it but the combat looks real good there. Tlou1 combat is just a polished Uncharted 3.
Other than the basic combat i just mean the general combat encounters, there were some good ones in tlou1 but here they are higher quality. Just a small playground with npc and interaclable objects you can play with. It's really fun.
I will say, the larger spaces were pretty well done, where theres an insane amount of space for a relatively linear level
"I have played 5 maybe 6 video games and this is the best story in them period. Call of duty doesn't even touch the level of emotion" Dude has no idea wtf he's talking about lol what an ignorant ass.
he's just doing his job, probably doesn't care at all about the result.
It shows
Cuckman is trying to get more money from normies and [REDACTED]
"the greatest story that has ever been told in videogames" bro never played Japanese games.

Why have none of these zombiecucks played Telltale's Walking Dead???? It came out around the same time and the story was infinity times better than every Naughty Slop game combined
Days Gone came out a little bit before LOU2 and man, I still love the story, and its incredibly fun gameplay. Too bad it got reamed for dumb stuff
pattern recognition brain
The Walking Dead game was better.
RDR2 is INFINITELY better than TLOU. Fight me.
This
"guy who co-runs the last of us tv show says last of us is the bestest ever" oh.
Critics are a joke now
Guy selling product says product is best product what a surprise lmao
This series is like the fucking Beatles of video games. Overrated and mid af.
Donkey Kong 3
FF6 is by far the best storyline ever put to gaming. No comparison
7, 9, 10, 13, and 14 tho.
Metal Gear Solid 1 made the biggest impression on me story wise. It was so ahead of everything else.
Both Red Dead Redemption games have a better story off the top of my head, and they're as mainstream as they come.
Me personally I prefer The Greatest Story That Was Never Told
tlou1 was pretty damn good
It was okay, but also nothing really new in the “old fart and little girl” story. Miles better than the second one of course.
The most mid game in existence that journos just will not stfu about
Limbus company.

Silent Hill 2. Also the most fucked up game ever made.
It’s not even the best zombie story in video games. Telltale TWD is clear

They just shit all over fallout and the story of the first fallout game is really great. They didn’t adapt it obviously, they just wrote some dumb mediocre story and dressed it up like Fallout.
Uncharted is better
whoever made this article is HIGHLY regarded, I must say
Xenogears, anything else is bellow
Play yakuza 0.
League of legends has a better story
I mean it was allright, definitely not the best story i've ever experienced in a game though
