Wow, it's already July now, this year has really flown by! Since this is my birthday on the 14th, I figured I'd give a little now. :D

Also, I've recently started a group for story-rich and choices matters games called Your Game Your Story. I would like to hear about my fellow gamers' favorite games and the storylines that have stuck with them through the years. I've always loved reading and storytelling and that has affected the kind of games I like to play. I like it when my choices customize or change the gameplay. To me, the most important parts of a game are the story, lore, and characters.
I've set up a curator group to show off some of my favorites. I would appreciate people joining and following the group and curator. (It isn't required but I plan on doing group giveaways and it's appreciated.)

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the sweet birthday wishes, memes, recommendations, comments (I read them all!), and curator follows/group joins. You all are the reason the steamgifts community rocks and I enjoyed every interaction and positive comment! I'm glad I was able to give back at least a little bit to this awesome community and I plan on making another train in the future! (maybe with a script this time....)

"Didn't we have some fun though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye," and you were like "No way!" And then I was all, "We pretended we were going to murder you." That was great. "

But I could post every single quote from GLaDOS here!

Happy early birthday!

I too prize story, plot, and characters above other things in games. The stories that have stuck with me are snippets from Planescape Torment (it's been a while, but parts still resonate in my memories) and Life is Strange (the ending left me an emotional wreck for a couple weeks afterwards).

I'm pretty tired right now, so may not come up with the best video game quotes, but here's a couple for you:

"Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!"

"You shit piles give chase, I will kill your dicks!"
"What? What does that even mean? You're going to kill my dick? Well - I'll kill your dick! How 'bout that, huh?"

Those are some interesting quotes, ha ha XD
Life is Strange is absolutely awesome, but you are absolutely right, that game will wreck you.
I'll check out Planescape Torment, I'm always looking for new recommendations!

It's older, but it's amazing! I mean, the combat isn't much to speak of, but everything else - the setting, the story, the characters, the writing - is fantastic. I highly recommend focusing on intelligence and being a mage - partly because spells are cool, but mostly because more conversation options are always worth it. Fortunately, you can change your spec at will by just putting points into other things - I started out as a melee character, then switched into Intelligence / Charisma.

Happy early birthday bumb!
I also like my games to have story. But game play is just as important. I dnt like shooters even if the story is great. So it's a mix of these.
Additionally I like puzzle games as well... Those don't necessarily need story I think

Thanks!
Yeah, if the gameplay is awful or unplayable, it could be the best story ever and no one would know. Puzzle games don't necessarily need storylines, true, but for me, it's a motivator. I like having a purpose, goal, and something to follow or discover. Gris is a beautiful puzzle game with a moving story that kept me invested for hours.
But just playing puzzles for their own sake isn't bad either :D

Yeah you're speaking my mind. It's the story that gets me involved into a game

Not on Steam, but I recommend The Hollow. It's a really short game made for the WAG Challenge! game jam a couple of years ago. It's really well written and the choices the player is asked to make are really tough.
