Last of us 2 is a great example. Terrible writing and pacing. I can appreciate what they were trying to do, but unfortunately it fell flat. The story completely falls apart if you think about it for more than a few seconds. The gameplay was great, it might have the best combat of any Naughty dog game. But that doesn't make up for all of its huge faults.

You fit into that crowd that simply didn't get it. The writing was amazing, as was the game direction. And it's even better on the second and third playthrough.

I got it. It just wasn't very good. What are some of your favourite tv shows, films, books etc in terms of storytelling?
