What Are the Greatest Stories Ever Told?
I'm sure everyone here plays The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us because of the stories and element of consequence. So you all obviously need to have a good enough story to back everything up. That said, just to see what you guys are like, what do you believe are the greatest stories ever told? This can be novels, movies, a TV Show, real events, folklore, or even a song. Not just any song, though. One that tells a story.
These are what I think are the greatest stories told. Say what you think, too!
- The Odyssey
- The Book of Exodus (This being the story of Moses, and the Israelite departure from Egypt. Even if I'm Agnostic)
- John Henry
- Citizen Kane
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly / Dollars Trilogy
- The Grapes of Wrath
- Moby Dick
- The Bioshock Series
- The Lord of the Rings
- Rear Window
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
- Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask

- Schindler's List
- A Clockwork Orange

I don't even have a Playstation, but by watching a playthrough for Heavy Rain I know that is an absolutely great game. If I actually played it to I would find it even more awesome. I enjoy games with a great narrative the most, they have many narrative focused exclusives on the Playstation, I wished they had some on Xbox (The platform I call home).

I gotta agree. Heavy Rain is a great story, and a sad one, too. Well, depending on what you do. Although I wouldn't put it up there with my favorites, I really enjoy it.

In the Dragon Ball community, how do you regard the meme Over 9000? Is it annoying or still funny?

The Bible.
I have a hard time choosing a favourite anything, so I'll stand with you on enjoying it.
The most well-written stories I've ever red/watch/played are:
The Lord of the Flies
The Road (Both the movie and the book)
Bioshock Series
Drive (I've only seen the movie)
To Kill a Mockingbird (Only the book)
Lots of books by Stephen King, but ultimately I'd say it comes down to The Green Mile and The Stand. The movie for The Green Mile may be included, but not The Stand Miniseries, that was awful compared to the book.
My number one favorite story of all time is Telltale's The Walking Dead
Determining a "best written" story is impossible. It's all down to opinion, but I think that we can squeeze fact in by determining what stories are at least deserving of the title. I believe all the ones on my list are, and so moving into the area of opinions, of all those, I think Telltale's The Walking Dead is best.
Of Mice and Men reminds me of my English Literature Exam... I hope I did well because I don't want to be forced to retake it next year. I'm not great at English.
Nope
Just think of the rabbits hayd24, just think of them and everything will be OK.
Mario Bros is the best written story.
You're right, just look at the anguish and anger on Luigi's face.
...I guess so!
I'd be here forever if I was going to list books and movies too, (I'll just drop names like The Road, The Green MIle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, 1984 and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the mean time) but in terms of games, the ones that I enjoyed the most in terms of story:
i never joined a dragon ball community, but i find over 9000 and tfs jokes (if you know what those are) to be overused and unfunny at this point.
Just look into the distance and think of rabbits...that can only end well.
His annoyance level is over 9000.

Don't diss Triss, she won't miss, with her spell, sis. (Random rhyme I came up with).
