so dont give me that "irrational is blameless - its all the publisher" bullshit.. thats a fucking retarded argument
Well, not from an economical standpoint. As a company, you can only perform a job with as high a quality as you're being paid. Likewise for intent and design direction. So, it's hardly a "retarded argument."
It's like Lucas Arts, Obsidian, and KOTOR 2. Crappy game? Not necessarily in its own right. Compared to the first one it's a negligible entry to the series. But laying the blame on Obsidian for a crappy game is about as flawed of logic as not blaming LA for coming up with the design direction and funding for the game. Of course Obsidian didn't have to develop the game, but you know, they are a business after all. And what do business' do? They intend to make money and LA has some serious backing, so they took an opportunity for that.
So your statement of squarely blaming Irrational for a game because of bad netcode doesn't hold much water, especially when the publisher is ultimately responsible for the product.
