The story is just a bunch of one-liners and cliches (Destiny)

Destiny's story lacks focus, and feels cobbled together. Probably because the strong voice that was guiding it, and trying to focus the committee, left the project a year before release. The committee then put together a bunch of cliches because a group of writers usually just try to hit every ball out of the park, and end up with a bunch of one-liners and cliches.

Video game writing is bad because the people who work in the video games industry tend to be… well let's just say more nerdy. I'm willing to bet a lot of them haven't really experienced much of life besides being in front of a screen, thus cliches and stuff they see elsewhere is par for the course.

There are exceptions, and when that happens is when you get good writing.
