| JRPGfan said: Xbox has alot of Sweetbaby inc stuff too. "Bugs, average level design, lackluster graphics held it back. Some skins that come out years later isn't the issue. If someone stops playing a game because of a rainbow skin, they are just limiting themselves from enjoying good things because of irrelevent details. " |
"a broken watch is right a few times a day as well..... that is more happenstance than anything.
The majority of the time, these consultants hurt games more than they help them (imo)."
But almost every single big Sony first party game is being accussed of the same thing, yet they are routinely part of the Game of the Year conversation.
"HR and Hiring practices.
Its like a cult that only hires others like minded.

It just sounds like speculation to me as far as Halo Infinite is concerned. What we hear from insiders is that the development was struggling because 343 relied too much on contract workers.
Edit:
I will give you though that involving external consulting studios like Sweet Baby to make sensitivity checks etc. sounds like a terrible practice. That's the kind of external interference in art that I am not a fan of. I cannot say how much involvement they have had in the games they are credited on. Alan Wake 2 is still one of my favorite games of the decade, regardless. But they should have just trusted their screen writer instead.
