<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/classic-video-games-that-suck/steven-petite?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Video game</a> stories range from the extremely simplistic to the staggeringly complex. While early games - and many contemporary ones focused on gameplay - treat the plot as a loose outline filled in by action or puzzles, some games have tried to push the boundaries and tell emotionally gripping, cinematic stories with elements of interactive control and player choices that forward the storyline.

The advent of so-called &quot;sandbox&quot; games, which give players more freedom in choosing <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/how-to?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">how to</a> explore the environment, which missions to embark upon and what order to progress in has also served to make games more character-driven and involving. (&quot;Fallout 3,&quot; for example, builds up a karmic profile of the player based on decisions in how to advance through missions.) These best storyline games build on the gameplay and graphics with genuinely good stories.&nbsp;

Currently at the top of the list of the best video game storylines are the Mass Effect games with BioShock, The Last of Us, and Half-Life 2 all in contention for the number one spot.

Things all gaming nerds should know about everything from obscure and unreleased games to the politics behind developer releases.

Gamer Buff Stuff

Movies based on video games are notoriously bad. Some doubt it&#39;s even possible to make a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/video-games-that-would-make-good-movies/loganrapp" target="_blank">good video game movie</a>, as Rampage currently holds the <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rampage_2018" target="_blank">highest Rotten Tomatoes score</a> for any such film at&nbsp;52%. While those willing to make the leap between mediums&nbsp;certainly deserve praise,&nbsp;certain properties should never even be considered - some video games would make <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/video-game-movie-problems/jordan-love" target="_blank">terrible movies</a>. Video games disqualified from movie adaptations aren&#39;t just those with&nbsp;weak or shallow stories; plenty of games with deeply&nbsp;compelling plots should be avoided by movie studios at all costs due to the nature of their content.

The best games with the best stories are usually those in which the gameplay takes full advantage of the medium to create an&nbsp;experience unattainable through any other form of storytelling. The interactive nature of video games is what makes&nbsp;them truly unique;&nbsp;when game developers utilize the tactility and other sensory stimuli only their medium can offer, they have the opportunity to create an unrivaled event - and&nbsp;it&#39;s exactly these video games that should never be made into movies.

These Enthralling Video Game Stories Could Never Be Filmed

Face it, good video game remasters are&nbsp;hard to come by. With a seemingly endless&nbsp;string of&nbsp;old video game remasters, remakes, and revamps&nbsp;hitting the shelves every week, it can be hard to tell which ones are actually worth picking up. Even if the game itself is good enough to merit&nbsp;a&nbsp;second buy, if it doesn&#39;t come with some extra perks&nbsp;it simply doesn&#39;t feel worth it.&nbsp;On the other hand, just because a remaster looks pretty doesn&#39;t mean you&#39;ll actually enjoy playing it again.

The best remastered video games are more than just eye-candy, they&#39;re substantial enough to&nbsp;leave your inner nerd as satisfied as they were&nbsp;when they played it the first time.&nbsp;Even some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-games-of-all-time " target="_blank">best video games of all time</a> don&#39;t feel quite as polished over a decade after they came out - unless developers went back and added in some modern gaming conveniences like auto-saves and skippable cutscenes.&nbsp;From console to PC, the greatest video game remasters bring&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-compelling-video-game-storylines " target="_blank">compelling game storylines</a> to life for a new generation&nbsp;and help remind older gamers why they started playing&nbsp;in the first place.
