Who/what is ''B Team''

[Minkki]

Sometimes I hear people say ''b team really messed up here'' and ''thanks a lot b team for giving this game such ♥♥♥♥ hitboxes'' and just wonder who b team are, I mean, Fromsoftware made this game so why are people blaiming this ''b team''.

Ive never heard of it, but I am guessing that they are talking about Bandai Namco

Im not 100% sure though

I assume you're right, I've seen lots of people calling them Bamco recently, so it would go well with that.

Oh man, so many people seem to be overly mad that some streamers are getting the US version early. I'm just doing my best to wait patiently and avoid spoilers, but they just let it get to them.

i see it as Bamco's way of saying thank you for the content they release honestly and the healthy addition it brings to people who watch said people to bring them in to play an unforgiving game.
for better or worse, it's their move not ours to judge.

The CEO of FromSoftware (creator of the other souls/born games) wasn't directly involved in creating Dark Souls 2, so my guess is, that the "B-Team" refers to the guys who made DS2.

[Olenose]

Hidetaka Miyazaki didn't make this game.. He is the director and creator of Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. While he were just a supervisor in DS2.

Btw: I dont agree that the "B-team" screwed up. This is still an excellent game, even tho it cant live up to the masterpiece of DS1.

Actually this makes a lot of sense. Dark souls 2 was not as good as Dark souls in imho

[Elemental Phoenix]

From my understanding ds2 was a different team to those who made ds1, and that's who b-team is

[❌ Peath]

From Software is Developing company.

It is composed on seperate teams working on diffrent projects at the same time.
While Dark Souls 2 is made by From Software, it was created by completly diffrent team of ppl than original Dark Souls.

Thus the diffrences, thus the feeling that the game itself is kind of off.

this game just lacks good level design. Thats really about it. If the levels/areas intermingled all maze-like like dark souls 1 and the new 3 does, they're be little gripage. this game is just very point a to point b linear.

[Moved Acc ounts Mr Anti Cheat]

'B-Team' in the context you're describing it as, is who people blame for bad decisions in the game design/mechanics, it's not specifically latched to Bandai namco or Souls Games, but it seems much more prominent here, generally to vent about bad decisions. Hope that helps clarify things.

This.

All the new items, the DLCs, a lot of the weapons and their movesets, etc. all felt great.

The only complaints I had about DS2 was the level design, and how the vast majority of bosses are just tall guys in armor. Aside from that, I don't think ds2 deserves the flak it gets from a lot of people.

I know that Miyzaki didn't make this game, if he did this game would be good. You still didn't answer my question on who or what B Team is.
