It's astounding this studio made Oni. (Destiny)

But yeah, it's pretty clear that their development process is a shambles when it comes to story integration, and likely it's the result of letting the tail wag the dog as far as design goes. "We can do X." "Great! The plot of the game is now about X!" What?

I don't know how people feel about it here, but that game was such a brilliant execution of an idea from top to bottom. It had artistic, philosophical, and narrative reasons for its design choices (3rd person with fist-fights actually looks like a damn comic book), and it executed those choices (fights playing out actually made you feel like you were in a damn comic book)...

I only ever played the game and never really got into its design history, but I still feel it was their best artistic endeavor, even if it was at times difficult to play.
