Worst Ideas for Game Plots

[Bells]

Final Fantasy 8 is always primal at this...

Pretty much every FPS game ever...?

Also, Sonic games tend to be Stupid plot wise... and i always find it funny that th World in that game is build so that sonic can so Superfast from point a to point b...

Zombie Nation:

Dark Seed has taken over the world and stolen the mystical samaurai sword, it is your job, as a giant floating samaurai head that spews fireballs to destroy the hell out of New York and retrieve the sword, fighting the Statue of Liberty in the end.

I'd have to say Timesplitters, but in a good way.

Celes, will you pleeeease change your avatar? That Link is fucking creeping me out. The comic was funny, but jesus christ that's fugly.

I'd also feel the need to say Chrono Cross. Though it started out wonderfully (ignoring it's lame stapled-on attempts to bind with Chrono Trigger), it seriously threw in just about every plot device known to man. Including the Lucas favorite, Lynx is your father!

It's only really bad considering you are Lynx for like half of the game. You're your own dad. Creepy.

Final Fantasy 9, pretty much from the point when you find that the world is being controlled by a super race in a satellite and then you fight whatever the fuck that thing at the end was, the thing that was like a cross between a Gundam and a Fischer-Price mobile.

Aww come on, my avatar makes me laugh every time I see it.

Unfortunately I have to throw another Link game (windwaker) on the pile. While, it's not really PLOT, the idea of sailing from place to place still makes me want to hurt something. Otherwise it was a great game.

When you think about it, the plot to Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon is completely retarded.

As written on amazon.com:
Mystical Ninja follows the stories of unlikely heroes Goemon and Ebisumaru, two... er, misunderstood fellows who have yet to receive a lick of credit for the previous four times they've saved Japan. In addition to the title characters, lithe swordswoman Yae and the turnip-esque robot Sasuke join the quest. The Peach Mountain Shoguns, a nefarious dance troupe, have remodeled Oedo Castle with the business end of an energy beam. It's up to Goemon and crew to find out why and, of course, stop their evil scheme. Who are these mysterious dancers? What are their true intentions? Why are there robots in ancient Japan?

But MAN that game is fun.

On Topic: I have to second every Sonic game, with a special mention to the new Sonic. I mean, furry? (spoilers on that video!) Even I have my limits.

Shut up, that was an amazing story, full of incerdible characters and a beautifully written plot! Well, yeah, it was more retarded than Excel Saga, but it was damn funny.

Then, after saving his hot girlfriend he ditches her and goes into plumbing, stumbles upon an alternate world where everything is gigantic and he too can become gigantic from eating a mushroom as big as his own body. There he goes on to defeat an army of mutant Turtles armed with only the ability to become the same size as them, along with the ability to eat a glowing white flower and hurling fireballs.

Upon defeating an even bigger mutant turtle, he saves the kingdom and ends up having it's princess as his new girlfriend, who is still twice his size, even when he's big from eating mushrooms.

I mean, that story right there is just so full of awesome it deserves an Emmy, an Oscar, and maybe even a Nobel Prize.

you beat me to Mario.

But I know something weirder. I am not sure I should count it because there isn't much of a plot.

An earthworm comes into possesion of a suit that gives him arms and legs. So he goes out and fights alien monsters and bounces puppies on marshmellows and cows fall from the sky, and then for some reason your in a wessel suit making your way through someone's small intestine.

Can you guess the game? Highlight to find out Earthworm Jim
