I've been experiencing this so much lately. Recently played a Need for Speed game and my god the story was boring. The "good" guys, the "bad" guys, everyone was an emotionally incontinent dipshit. Zero adults in that game, pretty much skipped the cutscenes because I was always lost because I couldn't follow because I gave no shits.

And yeah I know these games aren't story driven but you just know that this was someone's best attempt, and it's pretty fucking sad.
