Those games would have been shit with more... traditional characters as well.
It's like with comic books. The writing has never been great, but incels only had a problem with it when they can't self insert into a power fantasy.
I recently learned there's at least one writer who has worked on both Halo 5 and Forspoken. A lot of people have issues with the writing quality of Halo 5. One issue I personally have is how many scenes don't really start or end. The scenes often open with the conversations already having started and don't seem to conclude by the time it ends. The lines I've heard of Forspoken are also awkward, but there's way more vitriol for Forspoken. Now why could there be so much more negative attention for that game?
You think comic book writing is great ๐คฃ
Popularity has never had anything to do with quality. Popularity is more related to marketing that anything
Proof of fans isn't proof of quality.
Honestly, the biggest condemnation of comic books I have is meeting comic book fans.
