Oh what? It's not the original devs? Fucking hell. No wonder it sucks.
Has it ever worked out when a big studio buys the rights to a game from an indie?
IIRC didnt gearbox work with the original devs before on ror2? Not defending them, if anything that makes it even worse that they dropped the ball this hard.
Yeah they worked on the last DLC, which was really good. I think they mainly were involved in the level design though, which even this DLC has down well.
It's just everything else that makes a game being fucked. No idea why the original devs/designers weren't aquirehired and kept onboard. Maybe they didn't like what ol' Randy had planned.
They probably just wanted to move onto making other games and with the offer of buying that IP they cashed in so they could have more capital for their new projects by offloading something they no longer had any plans for whatsoever.
