Im out of good stories, may I ask for your help?

[Gentle Player]

Ultima Age of Enlightenment trilogy (IV, V, VI) in order. Then you might carry on with Ultima VII and Serpent Isle.

 

[Miserable Panda]

Try these 4 games:

• Bastion (you'll fall in love with the narrator's voice)
• Ori and the blind forest (good platformer with a pretty good story)
• To the moon (short but memorable and has charming characters)
• Machinarium (A point and click adventure game where you solve puzzles. You're a robot who saves a robot city from a certain Brotherhood)

Machinarium is actually on my old steam account, never have been downloaded since I got it. I will get to it right away.

I'd go with the Metal Age (Thief II) over the first one. Both have nice stories, but imho the second one is so much better in terms of how the missions are done.

Another game I should get on gog right now, thanks.

The Game of Thrones RPG from Cyanide might fit your bill. The gameplay is not much to talk about, but the story and especially the two protagonists really carry the game.

Edit:
Oh, and the Yakuza games might work too if you can handle over-the-top Jap melodrama.

That is something I was not expecting, the gameplay didnt attract me, but if you say the plot is worth it, I will download it.

Pick random MMO and force some friends to play it with you. You will encounter so many weird/cool/creepy people that multiple stories will write itself. I'm not joking... or read a Bible

Believe, I tried everything. WoW, Guild Wars, even that disgusting MMO called Tera, nothing worker. We either split when we level up, or we realize the game sucks, and we uninstall right away. I will see if I can find something that appeals to everyone anyway. We have some good memories with Runescape.

I could never get into Ultima, the UI really annoys me, Ive grown too accustomed to modern games, unfortunately.

The last game with a good story and actual gameplay probably has to be the aforementioned Cyanide's Game of Thrones.

On adventure game side there are some obvious picks like I Have no Mouth, and I Have to Scream. Or even Harvester, presuming that you can get to the right mind set. Dreamweb?

Kara no Shoujo is light on game, but will definitely leave a lasting impression.

I've tried Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and A Mind Forever Voyaging. The former had insane puzzles and I never finished it, the latter was incredibly amazing. Would you say they are similar to AMFV?

Have not played it.
Spider and Web had pretty little of puzzles, but last one was very, very good.
Anchorhead had wonderful feeling of dread when you combined all little clues. (Speaking of background information, Legacy: Realm of Terror was very good in that regard too)
Galatea was good and probably the most close to AMFV, having no conventional "puzzles" at all.

Why would you, that's actually a good and awesome game.

 

[Xathrodox86]

Monkey Island. I'm dead serious. It's awesome.

Stanley Parable was a masterpiece, and Binding of Isaac (Rebirth in particular) had an amazing story

But... but... I thought we at the Codex were a friendly bunch as the OP said and were recommending genuinely good games... (except the obvious Stanley Parable troll and such)

I do not know what to believe anymore.

Thanks for the link. And yes, that a was a serious opinion. But it seems I don't belong here, judging by the way I see those games

Bullshiat.

If you want an amazing story, try Beneath a Steel Sky.

But if you're a six-years-old pussy who looks for "emotional experience", go play Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, To The Moon, Stanley Parable and whatever emo crap is produced today. I can't believe adults praise their stories, while in reality those stories are mediocre at best.

On the visual novel/Jap fag area, the Phoenix Wright series and Ghost Trick could work too. Lots and lots of plot twists and some gameplay as well. Ghost Trick in particular had some excellent twists and turns in it and left me fairly astonished at the end of it.

 

[Alfons]

Stanley Parable??????????

Why do people keep bringing that shit up? It doesn't have any story it's just a mindfuck. If you want to be pretentious about it, it's an experience, but a fucking story? No fucking way.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Since you enjoyed Stanley Parable, that means you don't mind hipster indie crap, which means you might also want to check out Kentucky Route Zero. Personally I think it's the best of all the hipster indie stuff.

For the record, Stanley Parable's humor fell flat for me so YMMV.

That is a reasonable thing to say. I mean, sure it is pretentious, it has an awful plot (in fact, it does not have a plot altogether), but it was an enjoyable and funny experience that made me reflect on some (pretty superficial) stuff. I'm not really sure if all games recommended here will be able to do that (however, I will gradly try them, so far Machinarium and Pathologic proved to be great games).
I already finished Kentucky, and I'm waiting for the final chapters. You are right though, it felt so hipstery, it was hard to even finish it.

I played the first Phoenix Wright games, and had a great time with them (didnt play the ones focused on Apollo though), but I never heard of Ghost Trick until now. I will look it up.

The last game with a good story and actual gameplay probably has to be the aforementioned Cyanide's Game of Thrones.

Will start as soon as I can, I watched some videos and it doesnt look like the usual visual novel (that is a huge plus)
