usually awful.
Writing
A mistake.
absolutely kino

very difficult, thats why there are so many trash stories, a few really good ones and nothing in between
even a good writer will have difficulties with crafting a story for vidya
in fact, most well written games are designed around the story or at least in tandem with it
You have succumbed to *al gul*.
Just there to support gameplay and add intrigue. You wanna know a game that had cool writing? The room 3. That game is all about deciphering visually appealing puzzles, intricate boxes filled with gears and switches that make me want to be an engineer. The story in that game adds an unsettling background that makes you wonder what the next rooms will contain, and it certainly keeps you playing trying to find out, but its not the central focus.
generally mediocre

2014 is over five years gone, bruh.
Zachtronics games have similar writing. Some of them, like Spacechem, have pages of text to explain the story, but it only gives you a glimpse at a time. Later entries like TIS-100 or MOLEK-SYNTEZ have even less text and lets you piece together the world and what you're doing in the game. Minimalism is the best fit for game stories.
POO POO PEEEPEENIGGER NIGGER NIGGER.
but is it really?
opus magnums story is really nice and entirely optional

Video games can’t tell good stories, this has been proven time and time again.

usually mediocre at best and at the level of the average network TV show (so bad and generic), so it's a welcome relief when it's good (such as in the case of Disco Elysium).
But is it really?
Um racist much?
Unimportant.
given the writing in most anime is at the level of that of a precocious 14 year old it's no wonder you feel this way
Yeah it's gotten worse since then
different than writing for movies or theatre
