I don't like the term "bad writing" because it's a lazy complaint that doesn't actually address any specific issue.

What was written poorly? Was it plot construction? Bad plot holes or leaps in logic? Were character interactions not believable or relatable? Was it pacing? Was it too melodramatic? Too cheesy? Was the main character a Mary Sue? Did it stumble over its own themes? Did it end terribly? There are so many things that "bad writing" could be. And a game like, say, Mass Effect 3 can have great writing at parts and terrible writing at other parts.
i enjoyed p5 overall and i think the strengths in individual character scenes far outweigh the lesser parts, but it does kinda trip up in the last quarter or so - the main villain(s) come out of nowhere, there's one scene where they recount their entire evil plan in private conversation for the pure benefit of the audience, and overall it gets pretty clear from the lack of some characters' development (poor haru) that, as was later datamined and found out, they cut an entire dungeon from the final part of the game which would have given it a lot more breathing space for story.

Tbh, a game is good if it's enjoyable in spite of its flaws. Every game has flaws. I love BOTW, Persona 5, and Xenoblade 2, but I could also list dozens of issues those games have. That doesn't make them bad to me, though.

This. Every game has flaws. No such thing as perfection.

What matters the most in the end is if I'm having fun. As long as I'm having fun, the game is good to me.

my comment above proves that statement wrong, cause ET is the most perfect game of all time

Saved all of gaming before Nintendo even had a chance to do so

KH3, Proud mode is too easy ( Tho people just found Critical mode in the files just recently), The Frozen world exists. Thats all I can think of for KH3

Persona 5 personally is just weird, not bad, just weird, writing and the fact everything is spoiled for you in the interrogation scenes
Whoah whoah what? Data mining has found Critical in the files?

Hmm...I want to hope this means DLC is coming, but I'm honestly not sure. Could be unused stuff. Interesting piece of information regardless, though!

Basically.
I relate to this statement a lot, since I am someone who dislikes Doom mostly because I was forced into playing the games... And I didn't have fun because of that. I haven't played a Doom game in a long time because they aren't interesting or enjoyable for me.

However, when I play the Metroid Prime trilogy, Tropical Freeze, N Sane Trilogy or Starlink... I do have fun. And I end up liking those games more than Doom 2016 or Brutal Doom.

A game getting a huge amount of praise means nothing when you don't have fun playing it.

This is honestly one of my favorite sets for Ultimate right now

Just the sheer disrespect emanating from the matches is a sight to behold

Some games work despite their flaws

Some games are great but not without their minor flaws

Some games are just flawed.

Tries to play Incineroar online.

Somehow ends up in a Incineroar ditto and wins 4 matches in a row.

Against projectile campers on FD stages.

That feeling when you'll probably never get pranked because you tend to lay low.

Apparently so
But I think you would need a save editor to get it since its in the files
