Making a documentry for a school project, dont know which game to make it about - Games

OK, story is that I am making a documentry for my school project, I have made many diffrent documentries that were quite succesful in school so now I am making a documentry about a game, I have made one before about Project Reality. But I dont know which game, I need a game with a good story and not a game like CoD or CS or WoW, something with a good story which is worth making a documentry about. I was thinking Halo but I am unsure Any ideas?

Duke Nukem Forever. [editline]01:15PM[/editline] Oh, it's going to be about the story. Half-Life perhaps.

I'd suggest Half-Life, Mass Effect or Bioshock.

Also, a game with good cutscenes, and I like half life

Half Life, Mass Effect, Singularity, Halo

Alright it is down to Half Life, Halo and Mass Effect, which one? I need a complete reply :smug:

Portal has a quite interesting story, and it's quite short, so you can go into details without making your documentary long and boring. Half-Life's main (mute) protagonist is the player, in a 'shell' of a normal scientist, trying to survive, without having any combat experiences. Mass Effect has a cliché story, and the protagonist is the hero of the whole universe and stuff.

Pfft, Halo? Seriously? Pick either Half-Life or Mass Effect.

Shenmue. Legacy of Kain.

Half life, Mass effect or Some other good game

A few that I can remember off the top of my head are Half-Life (everything), Heavy Rain, Fahrenheit, Mass Effect (both), and Mafia (the first one)

Since you need cutscenes Half Life is out, too bad. That leaves Mass Effect and Halo. I would choose Halo cause it really has an awesome story, even if some of the games are meh the story is truly fantastic.

Mass Effect does too so.

Dragon Age has an amazing storyline. IMO, of course.

I need a game that people is intrested in, I like the idea of Half Life but are there any more games that people can be intrested in?

Knights Of The Old Republic?

Not Star Wars

Best choices I guess would be Mass Effect 1 & 2, Dragon Age, maybe even Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavy Rain or Indigo Prophecy. [editline]07:56PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Drasnus;24877229]Shenmue. Legacy of Kain.[/QUOTE] Also these.

OK then, I shall take Mass Effect 1 & 2 I have not played these games so I need some ideas on what to put in the documentry

What are people interested in, anyway?

[QUOTE=Mr.T;24877393]OK then, I shall take Mass Effect 1 & 2 I have not played these games so I need some ideas on what to put in the documentry[/QUOTE] You can pretty much put everything, the whole game is entertaining & interesting whether it's a side quest or a main quest. The cutscenes are also pretty awesome either huge cutscene or small. There's a lot of stuff to talk about the relationships of the characters, lore, weapons, planets, gadgets, the main story, people etc. I know I'm not very clear with it but trust me, just by playing the first few minutes you'll probably have an idea.

My class is half boys and half girls, all boys except me and another guy are WoWTards, the last documentry about Project Reality went quite well since it was well done :smug: What I mean by "intrested" is that I cant make a documentry about Counter-Strike or CoD since it just is not intresting, I need something that can catch attention from both WoWTards and girls, which is Mass Effect

I've never played it but considering it is also a BioWare game, try Dragon Age: Origins.

WoWTards, well I dunno, they'll be easy I guess with the whole aliens and galaxy stuff, and the RPG element too. There's also some gags and jokes poking fun at other games and media stuff including WoW. Girls, well they'll probably like Female Shepard portraying a strong and badass gal that isn't over-sexualized either and also any of the romance plots in the game.

And one guy is a CoDFag that hates me because I tell him about the suckiness of CoD So he will get at me whenever he can in the Documentry

Somewhat around 90% of today's youth are too impatient to play DO:A, or be interested about it. Unless the OP writes the documentary well, that is.

I wish we made documentaries about video games in my school.

A good story you say? Deus Ex. 'nuff said.
