Computer Game Writing

Good computer game writing is mostly found in two major genres of games. Role playing games and first person shooter games. However, it wasn’t always the case! FPS games were once only considered great for their engine and available weapons. However the Half Life series and Deus Ex changed all of that. When I look back at my (too many) years of gaming experience all of the games I can remember had great writing. Well, there’s a reason for this:

The badly written ones weren’t worth remembering!

I had to actually go through my collection of loose game discs to find the ones I’d forgotten. These include some pretty big name games, starting with “Black and White” by Lionhead. This is a good example of where they were far too interested in the engine and game mechanics to work on a story that really engaged the player. There was far too much emphasis on the controls and the belief system used to influence the world, and I felt I was merely watching a game rather than being part of its story.

Another example of bad story telling and computer game writing in general, has to be “Doom3″.

This has always been one of ID Games’ problems. The reasons I’ve heard for this revolve around the games being made to showcase the engine.
