Are you kidding? Every single thread about Dark Souls II is peppered with "B team" nonsense, you'd need to have had your head under a rock not to know about this stuff. I've zero issues with people not liking DS2 (I mean people are allowed to be wrong
) but pushing the idea that it was worked on by a sub-par team (as B intrinstically implies) as opposed to simply a different team always feels a little, intellectually dishonest perhaps? Why not refer to the teams in a more value netural manner? e.g. Team Miyazaki and Team Shibuya/Tanimura (or to save people the onerous task of typing more letters, TM and TST)
The OP, which seems familiar, was it pulled from one of the other DS2 threads? Is a mix of decent fact finding and wild speculation, the latter often revealing, I dont want to use the term agenda, so lets say the posters, perhaps unconscious, bias e.g. " Im no game developer, but all of this may indeed explain the change in atmosphere, the less organic gaming world, as well as the unbalanced PVP. "..and the lack of veteran developers is apparent as well. Is both entirely subjective and does even really make sense. "The less organic gaming world" was a design decision, not a result of a "lack of veteran developers" (and also plays into the the idea that an interconnected world is intrinsically better as opposed to simply a style some prefer)
Edit: Ah just realised its a necro, thats what I get for not paying attention to the date in the OP
