Y2Kev's thread about writing in Bungie's games got me thinking about this.
What developers out there constantly feature bad writing in their games?
I suppose Bungie would be mentioned, though I won't say it's BAD, per se, but highly mediocre in several respects. I haven't played Destiny, but from what I've read and heard, the game's writing is a complete joke.
Ubisoft deserves a special mention as well. The PoP games were pretty solid affairs, and their recent game, Valiant Hearts, was quite serviceable, but their AAA games have been such turds in the writing department that it's not even funny. Everything from Watch Dogs to the current slew of AC games with mediocre to downright terrible writing throughout. Far Cry is another example where the writing suffers greatly and the characters aren't given any time whatsoever to be developed, especially the antagonists
Another contender is Crytek. Damn, the Crysis series ranks as one of the worst written game series out there, in my opinion. And you know what? THERE IS A LOT OF POTENTIAL! They just keep flushing it down the toilet with badly written and delivered scripts. Whatever compelling Sci-Fi there is, is tossed to the side with unbelievably bad characters and lines straight out of the gutter (THE ALPHA SEPHHHHHHH).
What other developers can you think off that stand toe to toe with these guys?
