I'm still in the process of playing Life is Strange and Undertale (almost finished with both, in the grand scheme of things), so I'll hold off on answering.

Anyone have any good answers

EDIT: In a 2015 video game, of course

 

[KingWool]

Iwata dying is a horrible story =/

 

[TheTylerRob]

MGSV or Fallout 4. Both were incredibly disappointing entries in story based series.

 

[Ryce]

Metal Gear Solid V, maybe.

 

[Anung]

MGSV. No competition.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Iwata dying is a horrible story =/

Is that a video game story

 

[Terbinator]

Iwata dying is a horrible story =/

He said good answers, breh.

 

[Zombie James]

MGSV. Massive, colossal disappointment.

 

[CHC]

MGSV is disqualified because it doesn't even have a story.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Halo 5

 

[Kriken]

MGS V and it's not even close

 

[moomoo14]

MGSV, no doubt about it.

 

[Slowdive]

MGSV

 

[thesonovabeach]

Is this the new Metal Gear Solid V OT ?

 

[Deku89]

Iwata dying is a horrible story =/

 

[WrenchNinja]

Is that a video game story

If life we are living is Mother 4, then yes.

 

[byropoint]

Yeah it's MGSV easily.

 

[mjc]

Is this the new Metal Gear Solid V OT ?

HEAD

SHOT

I agree 100%. MGSV's story is dogshit.

 

[James Scott]

Metal Gear Solid V, maybe.

For the franchise it comes from, yeah. That and Konami in general

 

[dc89]

As a huge fan of the series it's with a heavy heart when I say MGS V.

There were some good things about it and great themes and concepts. But they just we're not utilised enough - Child soldiers being the case in point.

 

[SJRB]

MGSV of course.

Absolute catastrophe.

 

[AmuroChan]

Halo 5
Telltale's Game of Thrones

 

[SuitedforGaming]

I'm going to have to echo what the others have said. MGS5 was the biggest disappointment of the year.

 

[Sakura]

MGSV for sure considering it is a series I buy specifically for the story.

 

[DNAbro]

Yup MGSV.

Final Fantasy Type 0 HD is also a great answer.

 

[Jumping Chief]

Halo 5

 

[RK9039]

MGSV, worst story and my most disappointing game this year. I'm glad it's all over at least.

 

[daveo42]

MGSV. I think the car ride, Chapter 2, and how the open world affected the story structure killed it and made it much less of an MGS game from a story standpoint. Still one of the best playing games of this gen.

 

[RespectThySole]

Metal Gear Solid V.

 

[offshore]

I've not even played MGSV yet, but even I know it's probably MGSV

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Mortal Kombat X. My expectations were too high after MK9. My second choice would be MGSV.

 

[Shambalakan]

MGSV
And I had high hopes for The Order: 1886's story, but...

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Metal Gear Solid V. Just as bad as the rest of the series, but at least this time there were less cutscenes. That was a nice plus.

 

[Coreda]

50mb bosman mgsv story.gif

 

[StrawberryJam]

MGSV. So much potential wasted.

 

[Chola]

Metal Gear Solid V. Just as bad as the rest of the series, but at least this time there were less cutscenes. That was a nice plus.

How is it disappointing if you never liked MGS story in the first place.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Fallout 4. Baby's first RPG with a story to match.

 

[TimeEffect]

Didnt play MGS or Fallout, so I'll go with Life is Strange.

Episode 2 was the highlight for me, and it just floundered into some nonsense after that

 

[MichaelFassbender]

How is it disappointing if you never liked MGS story in the first place.

It's like watching someone trip over their own feet, then jump up and scream "TA DA!"

It was funny the first time, but they kept doing it, and now it's simply annoying.

 

[Eggbok]

Metal Gear Solid V followed by The Order 1886.
Had fun with both though and enjoyed them a lot.

 

[darkslayer101]

Arkham knight for me.

Not saying its bad, but the potential it had was abruptly ended.

 

[BeeDog]

Metal Gear Solid V followed by The Order 1886.
Had fun with both though and enjoyed them a lot.

Pretty much. Actually, in my case The Order's crappy story is the biggest disappointment. They managed to get great voice actors, but they couldn't really write dialogue for shit and too much is unresolved or incoherent.

 

[Imperfected]

MGSV's isn't the worst, but most disappointing? Yeah, I think that's a fair cop.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I would have to say Fallout 4, it had some great quests but the overall main quest line wasn't very good, it had a tendency to break and make it even more incoherent because of the nature of the game. I had a weird experience with broken scripting that really ruined any sort of flow to plot.

MGSV has some bad spots as well, I think it's problem lies more in it's structure as an open world Peace Walker than an actual story based MGS game, it had some incredible missions with some really great story bits but it fell flat in a lot of spots.

 

[partyphone]

of new games I've played this year easily xenoblade

mgsv appears to be the clear winner lol

ok, to be disappointed you need to have expectations but looks like you never had any expectation.so, idk

 

[wild wild rice]

No one seems to have flinched at OP mentioning Life is Strange and Undertale. Aren't these games known for their stories?

 

[DukeBobby]

The Order: 1886

So much potential but they fucking blew it.

 

[shiftplusone]

The thread is about most disappointing story and you respond with "I didn't like the story before so thank God it's barely there this time!"

Your most disappointing video game story of 2015 is for a game you are happy doesn't have a story?

What

Halo 5
