Chaos Legion, Chaos Legion, CHAOS LEGION !!!! *eyetwitch*
Only a sonic game has come close to this in my opinion in terms of writing and plot. Even another game I've hated Ninety-Nine Nights, didn't do as bad as this. I never played till the end of this piece of garbage, but it was obvious who the romanctic intrest was (her first cutscene is her cutting off her long hair for no reason and saying literally 1 line before the cutscene ends, and that had to be the second most understandable cutscene in the game and it still took me a few seconds after it ended to finally just realize it was pointless as the next section of the game wasn't impacted at all by it. (The only cutscene that made sense had a guy with a kick@$$ mask pretty much show himself off as the overpowered rival ala Vergil, since it was ripping off DMC as hard as it could in its opinion, and that cutscene dropped the ball by having him kill your most powerful monster BY LOOKING AT IT, a power which is never used again or even mentioned).
She and the main character might have worked things out if they had been in a different game, but sadly they shall forever remain both nameless and forgotten (though that may not be a bad thing for all gamers).
Oh, yes, and Fable 2. Allow me to tell you the story here: I had two wives once if only because I could. Someone then tries to blackmail me about my second wife. My solution: Kill the woman who I think I murdered her husband, kill the black mailer, and let my other wife get eaten by balverines. Why? Because I had honestly stopped caring since there was no romance in there other than Flex and Give Ring. The only person in that game who I even cared about was my dog, and that's only because I learned that without him the game was oddly empty.
I'd also like to point out Kratos' wife. This is more about the fact that I cannot see him as anything but a horrible sociopath than it not working (apparently though, since Kratos is such a being of destruction that if he ever loves enough to hug, the universe itself is lacking in so much negativity that whoever is the reciever of the hug gets healed. So maybe there's a reason why his family had to die).
