The reason story telling and lore sucks in modern games

[Loliraider]

The people "writing" games now grew up in the world of tweets and Instagram. They can't read anything more than three paragraphs. They don't read books or watch any film that actually requires you to pay attention. So of course they can't write worth shit, it would be a miracle if they could. All they have is strong opinions on things they don't understand at all and the overwhelming urge to tell everyone about them.

In a few years dialogue in games will probably have a Like button so these low attention span faggots can heart their favorite lines.

Modern games story telling are usually made to appease the masses, so they wont really dig onto conteversial/ deep themes as long as it's not the "universally" correct stuff (opression/ Racism/ Sexism or some other bullshit).
They dont try to question nor invent, just follow trends or try to be as commercial as they can.

Who cares about videogame writing to begin with

Problem with modern games is they have TOO MUCH writing, Last of Us was the worst thing to happen to gaming tbh

Even RPGs benefit from less, think oldschool JRPG where they just reveal a cool new area and drop fresh kino soundtrack that alone gives novel’s worth of value

It's because virtue signaling matters more to these people then writing a compelling and interesting narrative/characters

Let me guess, Stupid Clown made you post all your recent game related posts. xD

I do. Fallout 4’s millennial writing was so unbearable I couldn’t even force myself to keep playing.

The problem with story in gaming is that they get in the way of gameplay I don't have time to sit there and listen and worse is that action games like monster hunter are forcing it in thinking it will keep the casual entertained
