That's fucking hilarious.
God damned butthurt ass Pokemon fanboys.
I haven't bought this game or played it, I'm very skeptical of the company and the future of the game at this point, but I also wasn't willing to toss them out completely, because it seems the game is well-received.
This is just icing on the cake from when I previously saw that post and felt it wasn't really... proving much? I was skeptical about his "industry source" that claimed it was impossible to make character models that close to the originals while also being legally distinct.
People need to stop fucking worshiping things. People, games, companies, you name it.
We're all human, we all suck, we're all stuck on this shitty rock together, maybe we should stop holding some things up as better than others and just be fucking nice to each other.
Everything is fallible, stop worshiping games and game companies, and especially stop doing dumb, unhelpful, downright absurd shit like this. It just makes these people look like petulant children who can't get over their favorite game getting showed the fuck up.
People go tribal for the weirdest shit, I can't even imagine doing anything like that.
My favorite game is Chrono Trigger, if anyone decides to take the art style and game mechanics (and expand on them) from it to make a new game you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna play that shit, and will probably love it.
As a fan of Sega's Jet Set Radio, we got Bomb Rush Cyberfunk by an indie which is so much of a clone that it's considered an unofficial sequel, and we all love it.
You're goddamn right we do.
The official clips of the new Jet Set Radio just made me go play more BRC
Exactly, you get me haha
Nice to see someone else who's favourite game is Chrono Trigger!
Ever play Sea of Stars?
Yep but imo it failed at improving/matching the original in one important aspect: the number of skills per character. A lot of the time it feels like you are missing the tools you need to 'solve' a turn. I got to the part where I got a boat and kind drifted off since, been meaning to come back tho.
Yes it seems that sometimes you can't stop an enemy attack. I wonder if that's by design.
The game certainly isn't as good as Chrono Trigger, but I'm enjoying it as a nice tribute.
I've warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.
The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI... Like... What? I'm not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don't understand how they live like this.
If something comes along that makes life worthwhile, I'll worship that shit and crusade against 'whoever waters down the alcohol'. Pokemon ain't it.
