While I still think people are too harsh on modern games I can't deny, especially as I replay some of the older ones, that the older games had better writing and story. I mean, look at FFXV compared to FFXII or X. Nevermind the PS1 and older titles. Or how... underwhelming Skyrim is plot and quest wise in comparison to Oblivion. Nevermind Fallout 4 in comparison. I remember my rant in 'why did they lose' about Joel and, the more I think about it, the more true it really is. That modern characters really tend to not stick out as much and be as interesting as characters even as recent as the 360 and PS2 era's. I mean, Kos-Mos may not be the best character of all time, but by just looking at her I can tell she's got some interesting things going on. Ezio may not really be too strong but, at the same time, he still pulls off a very cool assassin style and everything. I know a lot of older games sucked, but the newer games seem to just... have nothing... in story. It feels almost like movies universally decided that they only needed to mimic Michael Bay and be all flashy and everything and screw story.
