Like god damn it's something in between a comic book and a playset, just write a screenplay if you want to

I can't think of a single story in all of gaming that wasn't badly written or ruined with bad dialogue and pacing.

100%

fuck all these corny developers that think production value and "cinematicness" are the most important thing. naughty dog was basically embarrassed to have been making fun wacky cartoon mascot games so they pivoted to making the most bland "cinematic" games possible.

I kind agree honestly. Video game writing is basically never good.

i kinda like "cinematic games" to the point where i'm not just a random guy doing random thing because that's what the gameplay loop is.

so as long as there's "some" explanation of who i am and why i'm doing [thing], I'm usually good.

it doesn't need to be movie level quality or novel level quality.

Uncharted and TLOU are pretty good games though

it's true for the most part.

most of these writers seem more or less like hollywood rejects who couldn't get their screenplay through the door.
