00:12story modes to play.

00:30Sea of Thieves

00:40When it first launched in 2018, Sea of Thieves didn't have much going for it.

00:44It kind of just dropped you into the world and said, yarr go be a pirate and do pirate

00:49things me hearty.

00:50But this is a video game, shouldn't there be some kind of story to go along with this

00:55and justify my actions besides trying to be a pirate legend?

00:59Well, as the years have gone by, Rare has added more and more series of adventures known

01:05as Tall Tales.

01:15These quests not only give you special voyages, they also reveal riveting tales that the dead

01:20will gladly tell.

01:21You can search for legendary treasures, avenge the deaths of a pirate and his crew, or partake

01:26in the crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean or Monkey Island.

01:30They're all truly fun to experience both solo and with friends, but mostly with friends.

01:43Warframe

01:53It's almost hard to believe that a free-to-play game such as Warframe could have an engaging

01:57enough story to keep players coming back, and yet, Warframe has managed to do that for

02:03well over a decade now.

02:05There is plenty of lore to read up on about the game's planets, enemies, and of course

02:10the Warframes.

02:11As for things like cutscenes and dialogue, well, there is something wonderfully corny

02:16about it.

02:17It kind of brings us back to Saturday morning cartoons like He-Man and G.I.

02:20Joe.

02:28So long as you don't go in expecting top-of-the-line, ultra-serious storytelling, you'll have a

02:33good time here.

02:44Splatoon 2

02:56We want to acknowledge Splatoon 2 for how it manages to use its campaign as a training

03:00ground for the multiplayer.

03:02We'll be the first to admit that the AI can be a bit oppressive at times, but Nintendo's

03:07level design is on point here.

03:09Every mission will test your platforming, traversal, and shooting skills with various

03:14weapons.

03:24In other words, it is a campaign that will help you get good at Splatoon and get you

03:28primed to tackle the online scene.

03:31And if you're wanting more of the game's world and narrative, that Octo Expansion was

03:35widely loved by the fanbase, too.

03:43Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

03:55If you were ever curious about why people ever fell in love with Call of Duty in the

03:59first place, then you absolutely need to play the original Modern Warfare 2.

04:04At the time, this wasn't just a game to let us go pew pew pew.

04:08This was a game that understood the importance of set-pieces in an action game's story

04:13and explored the touchy subject of terrorism and nuclear warfare, which was a super-sensitive

04:18topic to bring up back in 2009, and in some ways, still is today.

04:32Honestly, it really is the most thought-provoking and clever Call of Duty game to have been

04:37which is something we never thought anybody could say about the franchise.

04:49Gears of War 2

04:58Whereas Modern Warfare 2 presented a story that touched upon modern subject matter, Gears

05:02of War 2 was a bit more isolated, focusing on its characters, their bonds with each other,

05:08and the horrors of war.

05:10Gameplay-wise, it truly is Gears at its best.

05:20The gunplay is way more satisfying than the first game, and the visual and sound design

05:24showcased some of the potential behind Unreal Engine.

05:27The only complaint we have with the game is the final boss, and even so, you should really

05:32go play this for yourself if you haven't already.

05:43Battlefield 1

05:53Just when it seemed like Battlefield was struggling to stay relevant, DICE went and found a way

05:57to give the IP some juice.

05:59Initially, the main appeal of Battlefield 1 was just the fact that it was set in World

06:03War 1, a tragically historical event that video games have rarely explored, and DICE

06:08crafted a campaign that was expertly approached.

06:15See, you don't experience the story through one linear path, it's not that simple.

06:23Rather, you have six campaigns to go through, each one showing World War 1 through the perspective

06:30of various different countries and their soldiers.

06:32You have the US, the UK, France, Italy, Turkey, and Arabia.

06:37It provides much more context to how things unfolded and what it was like on the battlefield,

06:42and it's a rare example of games taking historical subject matter like World War 1

06:47seriously with an educational and open approach.

06:57Super Smash Bros. Brawl

07:05Such a dramatic shift to go from war, war, war, to colorful crossover fighting game,

07:10we know.

07:11But just to break up the first-person shooters, we should acknowledge the ambition Super Smash

07:15Bros. Brawl had with its campaign.

07:17Ask any Smash fan who played it on the Wii, and they'll tell you the subspace emissary

07:22was the best part about Brawl.

07:31You mean, we get to play through a sprawling adventure, filled with our favorite Nintendo

07:36characters working together to fight an invasive force that threatens their entire existence?

07:41And it features a sticker system akin to RPG mechanics?

07:46And it has co-op?

07:48Say what you will about fan service, but this was paradise for just about any Nintendo fan,

07:53casual or hardcore.

07:55And the closest we ever got to having a sequel for subspace emissary was the grindy World

08:01of Light campaign in Ultimate.

08:03It was good, but it wasn't exactly what we were wanting.

08:13Halo Reach

08:25You almost can't go wrong playing through any of the Halo campaigns from the Bungie

08:29days.

08:30Well, unless you hate yourself and want to suffer through the library, then by all means,

08:34play Combat Evolved.

08:36But Halo Reach remains the best in the franchise.

08:39Not that the bar is super high, admittedly.

08:42But whether you want to play the campaign alone or with friends is up to you, but you

08:46really might want to pay attention to the game's story here.

08:55The brief respite from Master Chief might seem odd at first, however, the story of Noble

09:00team and their efforts to defend a massive colony of humans from the Covenant is beautifully

09:05written and told in such an unforgettable way.

09:08That's really the most we can say about it without getting into spoilers, so please,

09:14go play this if you haven't yet.

09:23Titanfall 2

09:34Much like Splatoon 2, Titanfall 2 presents a campaign that is primarily meant to help

09:39you hone your skills before tackling the multiplayer.

09:42They could have easily just made some explosive missions and called it a day, and yet, developer

09:46Respawn Entertainment went the extra mile and really fleshed out their world.

09:58Titanfall 2 tells an incredible story about Jack Cooper and his mech, BT, and it is told

10:04exceptionally well.

10:06There are moments that are genuinely funny, and before you know it, you may actually feel

10:10some attachment to these two.

10:12Really, we never expected something of this caliber out of Titanfall of all franchises.

10:24Destiny Series

10:32The hardcore fans may have some problems with us listing the Destiny games as multiplayer

10:37games with great story modes.

10:39They don't trust us though when we say Destiny and Destiny 2 are great multiplayer games

10:43with great stories.

10:45It's just that we're saying that with one big bold asterisk.

10:54Destiny 2 has some onboarding problems, as significant chunks of its story have been

10:58vaulted away to keep the game's file size reasonable.

11:02So there's quite a bit of homework involved with reading up on lore if you want to play

11:06with some idea as to what in the hell is going on.

11:10But for the players who have been around since the first game launched in 2014, they swear

11:15that the story is spectacular.

11:16There's been some lows recently, but it's still good.

11:26But anyways, which multiplayer game do you think has a great campaign?
