Oh my god....talk about a story.......

[Question]

I just replayed Outpost 2 : divided destiny.Its a pretty damn good colony management game.You REALLY do feel a sense of urgency in the missions as you either outrace the blight or the volcanos,and the whole thing really makes you feel as if you are managing a colony.

The story?Oh my god totally kick ass.Everytime you finish a mission you get told a portion of the story,sorta like a chapter in a novel,for 12 chapters in all(both side storys are slightly different i believe).Its wonderfully written,and it should..........they hired a professional sci-fic writer to do it.And damn is it well done.

Its a damn shame games never come with this kind of storylines anymore.All you get is the usual crap like kill xxx bad guys to reach the villain and theres usually a last minute betrayal by one of main characters,and maybe a good guy or 2 dies in a dramatic way.......

And i dont understand why people kept saying half life 2 storyline was good.........aside from the VERY minor twist(that really doesnt do anything) at the end,its the standard "shoot bad guys.shoot aliens." crap all the way through.......

I too like Outpost 2. I bought it a few years ago and loved it. It actually still has quite a fanbase, some of whom are working on their own fan-made outpost 3's. It's not so much that HL2 has a great story, per se, but that the characters seem very real through their development and graphical features, like facial expressions.
