And honestly, while the game's writing certainly left a lot to be desired, it wasn't that bad. It had its moments, even. Not exactly high praise but I can think of worse written games that people love.
I'm curious what these games are. there are games with some awful stories out there, but I can't think of a single one that is on other m's level that is respected or even loved
Off the top of my head: the entire MGS series. I mean I love the gameplay, but man is the writing awful. And yet these games are heralded as an exemplar of story, purely because they have one.
