Tales of Xillia 2
Utawarerumono trilogy
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Steins;Gate
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

>no Witcher 2 or KOTOR2
This is a worthless list.

>Firewatch
I remember that game. And how I literally fell asleep while playing it.

around half of these are actually decent picks while the other half must have been put in by someone batshit insane

They literally only put SH2 on there because they know what the fans think, right?

The rest of the list makes it clear that they have no clue what a good story is. Especially the presence of Horizon is almost embarassing. Horizon has one of the worst stories ever.
Its literally Skynet, only that the Skynet maker is a stuttering nerd, while mommy scientist was everything thats good with the world and tried to fight him with facts and logic, but bad scientist man just kept stuttering and did it anyway, because he hates women.

>Persona 4 in the top 10
>Ass Effect
>Final Fantasy 6
>Gone Home
>To the Moon
>The Witcher
Shit tier pleb trash, and I even like Persona 4

This list actually made me feel a slight twinge of physical revulsion. I'm genuinely impressed by how awful it is.

would TLOU2 be on this list according to gaems journalists

The game deserves more recognition than it gets but it's got a cliché story. It's interesting because of the way it tells that story.

Came just to see if these two were gonna be included

>The only metal gear game on the list is 5

Reminder

Deep Story =/= Good

MGS and Kingdom Hearts are tbe ultimate reminder of this.

>Her Story
>Bioshock that high
>Edith Finch, what the fuck
>TWD that high
>Persona 4
I am a huge fucking Personafag and I love 4 to death but if you have to pick a Persona game, at least go for either 2 or 3 if you need a modern one.

Nier and gone home

Would you kindly explain to me why Bioshocks story is getting sucked off so hard on the list?

No idea why Witcher 3 is on there either, it's fanfic.net tier garbo.

Hell most of this list is just awful. Fucking San Andreas, great game in its day, shitty story.

>MGS5
OF ALL THE FUCKING GAMES
OF ALL THE FUCKING MGS GAMES THEY COULD HAVE PICKED
THEY PICK THE ONE THAT HAS A BLATANTLY UNFINISHED STORY
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THOSE NIGGERS

>Firewatch
>Gone Home
Talk about really boring games with unsatisfying stories. It's a shame because some of the games on this list are really good and they belong no where near trash like this

Muh philosophical themes, that's probably all there is to it.
Witcher 3 isn't exactly a masterpiece story-wise but it's probably the most competent western RPG of the last gen.
As for GTA, most of the stories are kinda meh so I can see why they'd pick SA. Personally I'd choose IV because Niko's story kinda resonates with me but that's just subjective.

>all these walking sims
>Kotor 1
>MGS with the worst story
>Persona with the worst story
>Her Story

>Torment
>Bloodlines
>Metal Gear Solid 2
>Silent Hill 2
>Soma
