Should they have all worked more crunch time instead?
No. They should not have released an unfinished game. You know, the game they advertised and sold to people before release.
Exactly. If they released it this year, it could’ve contended for game of the year. Instead, it released in a buggy, unfinished state.
Release games when they’re done, not when some exec or marketing person says it should release.
If my years in a technical field have taught me anything, it’s that this half-cooked shit sandwich was made by people in sales and management who were all promoted for making the shareholders happy. It’s always up to the engineers to slap some shit together that they just learned about yesterday and was needed last week.
8 years of development and that’s the state of the game at launch.
