Video games aren't just about controlling images on the screen. Just like movies, it has plots, characters, struggles, moral values, scripts, actors act. So here goes my top 5 games with the best story line.
No 5. Call of Duty : Modern Warfare
Why? Because it has a strong plot for an action first person shooter game. The story line split into two where first you are playing as a US Marine and secondly as a British Commando. The story then entwined in the mid game and then joined together for a fantastic climax. Also at the end of the game, the story end with the protagonist of the game almost died but merely saved by a single handgun bullet that make it so epic.
No 4. Silent Hill 4: The Room
Why? Because the story line itself is so horrifying for a horror game. Yes it is a horror game so it must be horrifying but I'm not talking about the ghost, the images whatsoever. It is the story about a child become corrupted by a so called orphan house that is actually a cult house that use children as their tools. This child, named Walter Sullivan become so wicked that he turned to a serial killer at a young age where he killed his victim in various ways and carve a number on their bodies as a signature and then he vanished. Yeah he just vanished into thin air and no trace have of him been found. And now he's back, to haunt you as you are trapped in your on room. Even the story itself is haunting me.
Why? Firstly this game is about Yakuza (Japanese gangster) where it has a high obedience of hierarchy. The protagonist, in order to save his foster brother (they grew up together at a orphanage) take the blame for his brother when his brother killed their own boss. The incident happen when their boss tried to rape his brother girlfriend and his brother accidentally killed their boss while try to defend her. He went to prison for 10 years for a crime he never commits and been treat as a traitor, only to know that his brother dumped his girlfriend and betrayed their brotherhood to become top member of the Yakuza family. The rest of the story, is REVENGE!
Why? This game is all about revenge. The protagonist, Kratos, a former Spartan general and a fallen god rages across the Mount of Olympus in order to complete his one and only mission; kill Zeus. Along his mission, it reveal the relationship between him and Zeus, Hercules, Hades and many more gods. This story line tells the player about the long history of the earth from the perspective of the Greek mythology while in the same time shows that love is the greatest feeling someone could has; even greater than hatred and revenge. Even in the midst of battle, love is still around, still.
No 1. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Why? A warrior who sacrificed his life on a battlefield is known as a hero, a patriot. However, what if a warrior dies on a battlefield sacrificing not only his life but his dignity, his honor? What do we call him then? I would say a true patriot. In this game, The Boss sacrifices her life, her name, her dignity, her honor, her everything for the country she loves and in return, she gained nothing. Yes literally nothing and in fact, everyone in her country knows her as a traitor, a defector, a betrayer. This the one and only game that made me cry. Yes I did cried, I admit it. The fact that how much someone can sacrifice his everything for his country is really touching. That is a true patriotism.
