you certainly didn't offend me, aldemar, lol.
i dunno... maybe i'm not too picky with stories anymore, being a 360 player. most games with great story lines are RPGs, in my opinion, and most of the ones on the 360 don't really have great stories. not that bioshock was exactly an RPG... cuz it really wasn't, but it was close enough for me to love it hahaha.
personally, i think fallout 3 and bioshock have some of the best stories on the 360.
no other games really offer anything new.
i definitely haven't played every game, of course, but from the ones i have those are the best.
maybe it's just the allure of wandering around, finding out about the past on my own terms. that kinda thing just really floats my boat, i suppose.
