I think I'm going to give up on Kbin. Every time in enter it's full of spam, so is not worth posting anything since is going to be buried in spam anyways

The thing is they literally took pokemon 3D assets, edited them a little and that's all

Because pals look like this

but now IN 3D!!!
Pals

They took Serperior head+ Milotic body and Primarina hair

self-explanatory

For the thumbnail image, they took meoth face, purugly body and that's it

These designs are not "inspired" they simply imported the assets from a pokemon game on blender or something, used "copy and paste" for different body parts and that's it, job done that's their completely original creature, totally not copied

I don't thinks so. It popular because "pokemon with guns" became a viral meme which sucks.

A a discontent pokemon fan myself I would love someone to make a pokemon clone since Game Freak is not really interested in doing good pokemon games anymore. But "Ark Survival Evolved with knockoff pokemon skins instead of dinosaurs" is not what I want

Pokémon with guns wouldn't have gotten millions of sales on its own

The day before sold millions (but this one was refunded by millions too) and everybody and their mom knew it was a scam since it was announced like 2 or 3 years ago. Internet is weird, if something becomes viral it will sell, the quality does not matter, people just wants to be in

The problem with TemTem is that it's an always online game, if the servers are turned off you won't be able to play, not even the single player campaign so it's a hard pass.

And the art style of both games are not my cup of tea, the do a disservice selling me the game.

As far as I can tell The Day Before was overhyped early and people bought it because of the marketing

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDayBefore/comments/lwaach/people_keep_saying_its_a_scam_whats_the_scam/

That's a 3 years old post. Everybody knew it was a scam back then. to the point the studio released "We are not a scam, trust me bro" statements (which made it more obvious it was a scam)

I don't remember hearing about it before

Internet has been talking about "pokemon with guns" for 2 years or so since the developers were already famous because they launched a "Breath of the Wild" knock off (Craftopia) that also sold well (not at the same level of palworld, but for being the first title of a brand new indie studio it sold really well)

No one will know what you're looking for better than you, but people have been making games inspired by Pokemon for a long time now.

A Pokemon clone with high production values made in Japan. Or if it's not made in Japan one that uses it own art style, I simply can't stand the "Fake anime" aesthetic that most indies use, like they learned to draw using this as refference

Think of Shin Megami Tensei (but not SMT V, that one sucks, they removed the dungeon crawling and the puzzles)

Gordon_Freeman, 9 miesięcy temu

it wouldn't have sold millions of units

People started to sell their steam accounts that owned the game and keys for the game for hundreds of dollars when it was announced the game was some bad that it was going to be removed from steam

If something is popular it will sell, the quality does not matter. You have the best example in Pokemon itself

You can still do it

The last Pokemon game I played was Y. It was largely the same game as Blue and Gold

Except they removed all traces of dungeons/caves (they are simple hallways with no exploration) and puzzles

I just block those accounts, we as users cannot do much more, I think

It's the same game. CSGO was updated to CS2

That's cool and all, but the game is not on sale anymore and most people refunded it

Will they hire Hideki Naganuma? he composed some tracks for a couple of indie titles inspired by JSR

And when he was there he said people should pay $1 to reload their weapons on Battlefield

launched at a snail’s pace.

If speed is a problem, The EGS is painfully slow. I don't use is because it needs like 15 seconds to load the library (and it's just the part that is on screen if you scroll, it needs more time to load the games), in the rest of the launchers is practically instant

Epic do not has economic issues, they earn a shitton of money between Unreal Engine licenses and Fortnite. It's only the Epic Game store and the issue is not the legal expenses is that nobody spends money in their store

IIRC the data they show every year says on average each users spends like $15 per year

According to one developer, the game was developed by no more than 20 people

Meanwhile this is being made by a single person

The ones who spent money on the store are the users, not the devs. And they are failing at bringing the people who would give them the money they want

they pulled the whole 'xbox and pc exclusive' bullshit.

Unlike Sony that keeps launching games on Xbox /s

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

I was meaning more the fact that Bethesda released on playstation until Microsoft bought them.

Sony has been playing this game for a longer time, as @CoderKat said, and nobody cared

Do you know Psygnosis of WipEout fame? They developed multiplatform titles for Staturn, PC and N64, when Sony aquired them that stopped (Well, they launched WipEout on the N64 and that angered Sony but they stopped after that)

Sucker Punch (Ghost of Tsushima) first game was for the N64

Guerrilla Games (Horizon Forbidden West) started developing on the Game Boy Color, and also made games for the GBA and Xbox

And a very long list of developers now owned by Sony, most of them developed for a bunch of different platforms before Sony's acquisition

But the thing is most people think those studios were created by Sony rather than purchased

Nintendo and scalpers... Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

They keep giving away free games each week (they have to pay to the publishers of the games to give away games) yet nobody spend money in the store (I think the average was each user spend like $10 or $15 per year)

They also keep buying exclusives, a thing that cost money...

And we cannot forget all the studios and company they have bought, the purchase cost money and their maintenance too

Also for PC in 2024

ESports is a euphemism. It isn't sports

What qualifies an activity to be classified as sport? Chess is a sport, so physical activity is not a requirement

Contemporary chess is an organized sport with structured international and national leagues, tournaments, and congresses. Thousands of chess tournaments, matches, and festivals are held around the world every year catering to players of all levels.

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

In that I'm consistent: chess isn't a sport either.

The thing is chess IS a sport, that's the fact, like it or not.

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

Thank for us you are here, oh! Holder of the absolute truth

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

fact: a piece of information presented as having objective reality

Chess has tournament, leagues, championships, federation and all that like other sports and is accepted by the society (except for you, it seems) as an sport, so the objective reality is chess is a sport. That's the reality you live in, like it or not.

your customers retroactively owe you money just because you unilaterally said so?

John Riccitiello is Unity's CEO, you may remember him from being EA's CEO or for being the guy who said the devs who don't monetize (you know adding microtransactions, loot boxes and all that greedy stuff) their videogames are "fucking idiots". I think that explains all

And yes, it too was inspired directly by Diablo (and its sequels).

It would not say it was "inspired" by Diablo it was more than that. I mean, Torchlight was made by the same team that made Diablo I and II after all.
