never let lead devs write videogame stories cause they always screw up and everybody is too afraid to tell him his story is absolute dogshit

even the best writers have editors for a reason

kojima has a great sense of humor and his games generally have great gameplay so it's still fun despite the awful story, also he's not above making fun of his own dumb poo poo so it's at least tolerable

there's some wiki page about the story of Path of Exile, which is told vaguely and piecemeal a la Dark Souls so 99% of players don't know what is going on and, get this, it's actually good as far as videogaming writing goes. an indie F2P ARPG has a better storyline than the vast majority of AAA games, which is absolutely hilarious to me, you can read it here

tl;dr the more devs force their stories in your face the more it will invariably suck
