@coded_artist all of the games on the left look and play substantially better too.
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.
Measure twice, cut once
@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.
Did they really need more time to finish or was it an outside factor like data loss, failing quality control tests, or something critical completely broke
@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @Vidmastereon @coded_artist super smash bros melee was made in 13 months. Isn't that insane? I mean, it's a little broken, but it's still an incredibly good game by all accounts.
I also believe Melee was one of those games where Iwata had to step in and assist the developers in order to get the game out on time.
@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @Vidmastereon @coded_artist true, and yeah iwata did need to clean it up. All I'm saying is that a game like melee would take like 3 years to come out these days from your typical western dev and they'd be spending way too much money on it. With how good and fun the game is it's just surprising to know that it only took about a year to make.
