The Video Game Blog Challenge: Questions 21 -23

21. Game With The Best Story

I know these games keep coming up, but what can I say? They are two games in my top five games ever, so I guess it’s to be expected.

I was so completely blown away with the story of FFVII when I first played it. The complexities of the storyline and characters were just amazing.

When I first heard of The Last of Us, I assumed it was just a cool looking zombie shooter which, what with having a soft spot for all things zombie, I was still really excited about. I have never been happier to have a game be so much MORE. The main story arc, along with watching the character’s relationship develop was just fantastic. I would happily read this game story as a book. It was just that good.

22. A Game Sequel That Disappointed

I realized when trying to answer this that I don’t play too many sequel games that I haven’t enjoyed! But I still mustered up a couple.

Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within. After The Sands of Time, I was so excited for the next Prince of Persia. So imagine my surprise when was I got was a game with horrendous camera work and terrible controls. Yuck. A huge letdown.

Also, any Sonic game since Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast. Those games just went so badly downhill.

23. Game With The Best Graphics or Art Style

Such a subjective question. In terms of realism, I was blow away by the Last of Us graphics, and the vid of FFXV that have been released is just droolworthy.

 

But I also love the painterly style of Okami. So much fun!
