I'm so thankful for Naughty Dog. They get it. uncharted, Last of Us were oustanding. Looking forward to the next unique IP they do as well as their sequels. They put a lot of heart and soul into their games. Batman Arkham Asylum is another great example of how a story enhances the game experience. Tomb Raider was outstanding story telling and gameplay. I just hope they don't stop with that one outing. It didn't sell well for some damn reason. At least, not until they made the price dirt cheap. Oh, and one last one. Red Dead Redemption.
I know GTA gets a lot of notice but every time I try it I just can't get into it. probably because I just don't like the subject matter of it.
I used to love COD but it just went to shit. Kind of like Madden. just the same shit over and over and over. Battlefield as well.
Outside of the games I listed, I cannot think of any games I truly enjoyed as much.

I 100% agree with you on RDR. I think the story telling in GTA 5 is almost as good as RDR. The characters are certainly on par as is the writing. GTA 5 had a very, very strong story. I would give it a shot if I were you.
I disagree on Tomb Raider and Arkham Asylum, though. I barely noticed the story in either one, TBH. Those games are all about great controls and exploration/collecting, IMO. The combat is delicious in both games and traversing through the environment is also incredibly fun.
If you want a truly great story, I would suggest digging up an old copy of the original KOTOR. Now that's a story-driven game. Probably one of the best pieces of fictional writing I've ever experienced.
