Wait i can’t fly on Pals now?

Does that mean that Ark can’t fly on dinosaurs?

vodka,

Pretty sure you can still mount and fly on flying pals.

There are some pals that can be used as gliders though, that is what is being patched out.

peoplebeproblems,

TIL. Good. Cause I liked my spaceship dragon

ogeist,

You have been nominated for Best Sentences of 2025. Congratulations.

peoplebeproblems,

Oh man, let me know when the rewards are named so I can give a speech.

First, I’d like to thank ADHD

Mafia 3 is the only nonlinear Mafia game, and ditching the open world sounds great. I just played the first game’s remaster and I was really annoyed by the futile open world of that game.

Zahille7,

Mafia 2 did a similar thing. I like the games, they’re fun and interesting and all, but it’s kinda weird when you spread collectables throughout a map but they’re almost all in the opposite direction of any missions.

For anyone wondering:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Minecraft and Forza Horizon 5

Look at that complete lack-of-an-Oxford-comma just sitting there, mocking us.

Midnitte,

I’ve seen those English dramas, too

prole,

I would say it’s completely unnecessary in this example. Or are you worried that someone might think that, “Minecraft and Forza Horizon 5” is a single game?

t3rmit3,

the capitalization of the game names is also completely unnecessary in this example

is it fine to disregard writing conventions just because its possible to understand the meaning without them

Make it so that you can give the glider pal skins.

How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?

Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

samus12345,

Wonder who owns the rights to Fly Boy now?

Since when is flying on a monster patentable. What a bunch of bullshit. Nintendo has really used up the last of any good will the company had. I will not be giving them a dime from here on out.

Lightor,

Yeah, Nintendo seems to think they are untouchable. They can do whatever, charge whatever, not even innovate anymore with the Switch 2, and attack fans. I’m done with Nintendo, the only way I’ll ever play any of their games is on the high seas.

Fuck you, Nintendo. Release a fucking decent Pokemon game instead of lawyering the competition that’s offering a more desirable product

It’s the capitalism way.

“The company with the best, cheapest product will come out on top… Unless the shittier company has more money and lawyers and then they sue everyone else into the ground for even attempting to break into the market.”

I don’t play Palworld, but still hate firms that behaves like this. Not buying Nintendo anymore 🥳 Emulators from here on :)

Patenting common stuff like this is just stupid! Think I read somewhere that Apple patented squares with rounded corners 😂 Hope Nintendo doesn’t use rounded corners in any of their in-game menus.

I though patents were ment to protect important original ideas. Stuff with impact.

Shit like this is why I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in many years.

They might think it’s keeping their profits up, but it’s hurting their business, as a lot more people than me feel the exact same way.

Probably some kind of hub system like Deus Ex

Wouldn’t a game mechanic/animation like that be equivalent to a stunt in a movie?

Like, imagine if a film director wanted to blow up a car in his movie, but was getting sued by Paramount because Michael Bay already blew up a car in Transformers.

Glide with a glider in your inventory like Zelda? Is that patented?

Phen, do games w Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit

They could simply have the pals hold on to gliders that the players can use and nothing would change in the gameplay…

I mean… Patents in general are bullshit just for things like this.

DeathsEmbrace,

There’s a parasitic egg layer that uses leaves some get put into birds and then get shit out? Why isn’t Nintendo suing these insects for using birds to fly around?

Japanese ones are particularly worse. In the US a successful defense is prior art, there is no such defense in Japan.
