>tfw i dont have any consoles
I heard the pc port was pretty bad, but if I can get a controller is it worth playing on pc?

Classic Sonic the Hedgehog games. 3&K and CD in particular.

fnaf isn't favored very much here but it does do a good job telling the story via environment
>>
>>331126729
The port isn't very good, but even with no modification (which is easy to do thanks to DSfix) it's still easily the best way to play the game.
>>
Metroid Prime is the most obvious choice. I could probably play Red Dead Redemption with a good western soundtrack and still enjoy it just as much.
>>
half life series
>>
Shadow of the colossus

>>331126270
Oh, and through scanning every fucking thing in the world and reading about how Samus was raised by the Chozo or something
>>
>>331127267
actually, the story is told through the guy who calls you up every night, and through faggots on forums trying to read too much into a shitty flash game
>>
>>331127397
The Half-Life series uses plenty of dialogue to tell its story. It has plenty of environmental story telling as well, but I'm not sure you'd have more than just the most basic idea what was going on without the dialogue.
>>
Vagrant Story.

Although heavy on dialogue, From, I feel, borrowed some elements from it in atmosphere.

>>331127914
except that King's Field predated that, and probably informed Souls more than anything

That story, if you can even call it that, is told with cutscenes, not environments.
>>
>>331125979

This a thousand times.
>>
>>331125979
A lot of the lore is conveyed through the environment, but little if any of the story is told through it.

Majora's Mask focuses more on dialogue, but the environment still elicits plentiful information about the world. OOT did it quite a bit with the time travel system. Also, It's not out yet on console, much less in the US at all, but Tekken 7 seems to tell its story through the barren apocalyptic cityscape stages.
