I enjoyed the first one, which is a shame because it released like right before the evidence and allegations came out about Roiland, so it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
I thought the game was fun and hilarious (I have an immature sense of humor), and it had enough random bullshit for you to find and enjoy that I didn't care about the low points of the game. Being able to watch three full B-movies from the 80s-90s was awesome imo, and I absolutely loved finding the RedLetterMedia Easter egg. Then it turns out he's a piece of shit hitting on minors and teens.
I want to play this second one, even though I've seen literally nothing for it other than it was coming out at some point. But at the same time, I'm hesitant because Roiland kinda fucking sucks.
I don't see him credited on IMDB for the second game, so he might not be in this one
In January 2023, it was revealed a former employee sued Squanch Games back in 2018 over alleged sexual harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. According to court documents, the studio denied the claims but later settled. Later that month, Squanch Games announced that Justin Roiland had resigned from his position at the studio
I find it so odd that they decided to make a sequel instead of a new IP, or at least to try to distance themselves from the original game as it was closely tied with Roiland.
Why do you think that he's still in it?
Maybe because I said I hadn't seen anything for the game other than the announcement?
