@coded_artist all of the games on the left look and play substantially better too.
@beardalaxy @coded_artist The Xenoblade games are absolutely gigantic, and none of them have credits breaking even the 10-minute mark. Xenoblade 1's was barely over 4 minutes.
Western AAA Gaming is a fucking joke.

Monolith Soft is also well-known for having reasonable working hours and avoiding crunch. Work smarter, not harder.

@ArdainianRight @beardalaxy @coded_artist Really makes you wonder what a lot of people in the industry are even doing, though Monolith Soft might still be small enough that they're not that well-known outside of Nintendo and JRPG communities, explaining why their practices aren't being widely emulated.
@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @beardalaxy @coded_artist i dont think monolith does anything special just that most modern devs have lost the ability to properly plan and manage time

@Vidmastereon @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @coded_artist yeah you gotta wonder if all this crunch is the result of people not actually doing their jobs until it's too late. I wouldn't be surprised with how focused on things other than the game itself they seem to be.
@beardalaxy @Vidmastereon @ArdainianRight @coded_artist I always find it funny how Ocarina of Time's many delays tricked me into thinking that a game suffering multiple delays meant the devs had something truly special on their hands, and wanted to polish their game until it sparkled.

There were never more than a few devs who were like that, and nowadays even less so.

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @Vidmastereon @coded_artist I've heard stories about it from team silent, Argonaut, sora (which is just Sakurai lol), and rare. I assume that it wasn't particularly common but certainly there were people like that throughout the industry.
I'd also assume that, with how sanitized everything is, it leads to a bit of a lack of comradery which really kills morale.
