Palworld's success could enable that

tranquil glen
#

Doubt

#

Its bee out for awhile before palworld was what, public? Available?

coarse swift
#

Yea, unsure where it didn't get successful in

#

Wasn't it supposed to have some big world update?

tranquil glen
#

Literally 4 yesr difference in release date

#

I guess people just like shooting pokemon more than making an automated cow farm with cow power

austere lance
#

I tried Craftopia but it just feels like...idk, a more boring Genshin? BOTW with everything fun removed?, Palworld is way more entertaining

coarse swift
#

Think I recall Craftopia pulling assets directly from Genshin too

tranquil glen
#

I think it tried to create a satisfactory of botw and kinda failed whichb is why making farm life pokemon easier and more iconic

#

Mmo farming like pokemon*

austere lance
coarse swift
#

Not to mention Palworld came at a time where people were starving for a good Pokemon game

#

You can find a lotta games like Craftopia already

tranquil glen
#

Other games that actually haveRPG and factory elements ? Where

austere lance
#

I'll get back into Palworld if they ever figure out how to make it have locked 60 FPS on console, lol. Cuz that shit has heinous roller-coaster FPS dips

coarse swift
tranquil glen
#

Wait isnt palworld made in UE5?

orchid fox
#

honestly having a fucking stroke reading this

coarse swift
#

I'll try Craftopia at some point but if an RPG with factory elements didn't take off while other games that are RPGs and games that are factory builders do better, then something must've landed wrong

tranquil glen
#

Thought as much cause that was new to me, cause i dont know them

#

Perhaps it was the initial start vs how it is now was like wildly different (literally different map)

tranquil glen

Wahoo?

Syndicate is pretty good imo the side step it has is almost as good as a side eject

#

Just remove the grappling hook please

tranquil glen

Thats its unique travel tho

austere lance

I love the grapple, lol

#

Also the current gen update is damn good, I just got distracted by Death Stranding 😆

tranquil glen
#

Nice hehehe

austere lance
#

I uh, got it less than a week ago and have 36 hours in it and I'm not even finished with the main story 💀

#

I've spent all of today building roads 🤣

tranquil glen
#

Iirc took me almkst 50 to do msq

#

Also doing games like that are more fun to me than games like botw or skrim that are way more ow

austere lance
#

I have turned it into a trucker sim, lol. I'm just building highways across the country with my long range trucks 😆

tranquil glen
#

How difficult do u find actually getting the truck in range on the terminal for it, or the ones where terminal (doesnt fuckin match the elevation of road)

austere lance
#

I ram the truck into the paving terminal

tranquil glen
#

See i would do that cept for me its like “hey dont do that itll get deleted if its in road path”, and i assume that also applies to upkeep/upgrade

austere lance
#

Gotta ram the stairs, lol. Then your truck is out of the way

#

Cuz the stairs are behind the terminal and it builds the road in front of it

tranquil glen
#

Fair but so are you

I sit the wheels at the base of stairs

Its not needed half the time which means most people won't even know about the side step animations

A 1960s space-race drama.

"Anomaly" by Dan Difelice & Salomon Ligthelm

Set against the space-race canvas of the 1960's, Anomaly is inspired by the traditional Christmas Nativity and explores, through a modern-day lens, the events of two-thousand years ago. It is a story about relationships that int...

Great time to remind children that Christmas is a time of giving and not just receiving.
Entitled bratty shits are more common these days.

#

Plus Black Friday has nothing to do with it

winter yew
#

That's a good thought but they still attempting to use emotional blackmail and the only victims are kids, if they are shitty kids is left to be determined

#

Or strategic timing where the main victims of the situation will be minors with no understanding of the current ongoings if you wish for blackmail not to be used

shadow tartan
#

I fail to see how children are victims when poorer children don't receive things and are still happy and grateful.
Black Friday sales are a great way for companies to profit.
Workers unions and strikes is something I've always supported because they're part of the backbone of society that is rarely appreciated.
Some of our parents managed to find gifts for us without the need of the postal service, if people really want to go and find things they can, they still have a month.
If children are expecting more then that shows the bastardisation of what most of us have been taught Christmas is about. We hope.

winter yew
#

This is a great example of ideal vs in practice

Yes Christmas is about more than gifts but it does not matter because ho ho ho Santa clause

#

And it does not matter if the kids are bad either

shadow tartan
#

That's exactly the opposite of how I was raised as a Christian

#

And if you're bad you get coal and Krampus comes for you in your sleep

#

Kids need fear

winter yew
#

It matters what the parents think not the outsider on the coal comment

shadow tartan
#

That's what Santa gives to bad kids though

#

Not up to me, Santa's rules

#

If I made the rules it would be abolished, like good ol' Oliver Cromwell did

winter yew

Another great example of ideal vs in Pratice

Me snd you don't belive in Santa and know bad kids srsuposd to get coal yes lol

Who said I don't believe in Santa?

He isn't real?!?!?!

Didn't need to be said as 8ts the standard for adults but it you do that's fantastic it's good to keep the Christmas spirit alive

Yeah not bad lots of good sales on Amazon too, ubispfts price of Persia that plays suspiciously like hollow knight like 20 bucks

This update is looking good too

The team are really nice and chill too, get involved with community

Yeah ubisoft could create a whole new genre of just being a copy cat

Hollow Knight is just Castlevania

OG Prince of Persia was closer to that

It's more like going back

NMS Discounted in the autumn sale

winter yew
#

Woah

dry copper
#

If Dota 2 doesn't get nominated for labor of love, but NMS does this year, NMS will tie for the most number of nominations for the labor of love category since the beginning of the steam awards.

#

Right now Dota 2 has 1 more nomination

#

It's very telling though historically the labor of love award is usually won by a major label with all of the nominees running up being indie games

#

I wish steam would stick the categories and keep the same ones year over year.

dry copper
#

The constant changing of categories is insane

#

Yes, NMS is an indie game.

#

Hello Games is not a giant game studio.

Just like technically Cyberpunk 2077 is an indie game

Nope. The game pre-sold a ton of copies.

There was a story about Sony exercing some pressures and as far as I know this kind of behaviour is only possible if you have done something for the game development.

Nope

Sony even removed the game from their store at one point.

It seems I was misleaded somewhere into believing that. Thanks for the correction.
I considered NMS an indie game anyway but now I know it is indeed a full indie one.

# inland oasis Heavy arcane spoiler 💀

||It doesn't say, only implies what happens to her. In truth, that was the moment time and space split entirely - creating multiple dimensions and sending characters to alternate realities||

inland oasis
#

I just remember one episode ending then that’s where it picked up again I think

dry copper
# inland oasis ||is there an explanation as to why the alternate timeline rift thing happened? ...

||The use of hexxtech has a direct effect on reality. The more it's used, the more fractured reality becomes. They discovered this earlier in the season as the infection was spreading to things disconnected from the hextech entirely and twisting them (the tree in echo's village). Coupled with the explosion and the release of energy from the initial death of the hextech drones after Viktor is mortally wounded, reality fractures yet again||

inland oasis
#

I see. Season 2 was awesome and all but it felt like an acid trip thru a lot of it 😂

dry copper
#

You understand most of the underpinning narrative by just following Jayce's story

#

He's the one that discovers Hextech is designed to corrupt

#

In season 1

#

It's not the arcane he discovers is the issue but the exploitation of it (hextech) which turns it into corruption.

inland oasis

The whole loop of ||when viktor drops the stone in his hand|| also confuses me just cuz im terrible with chronological timeline altering shit lol

inland oasis

Viktor hated that

||Viktor is the man who saved Jayce's mother at the very beginning of the show. He was much older and for Viktor he was in another alternate dimension after he destroyed his own||

||Dude was just tryna prevent the evil he foresaw the whole time||

I'm not saying he doesn't have a redemption or that his violations make him unworthy of liking, but I find him to be as a whole a less likeable character for his decisions to only abide the rules when they are convenient.

inland oasis
#

Also I laughed at the part where ||the one girl that betrayed cait, was about to shoot her and had the shot reflected back up her nose|| 😂😂

dry copper
#

He helped Jayce in the same way he ultimately helped Ekko

#

||I don't think Heimerdinger is dead, either. When Ekko killed him by accident the first time, there were bits and pieces of him everywhere. Ekko reversed time to undo that, but when Heimerdinger ultimately vanished after Ekko's machine started working, he left nothing behind. I think he was bumped into another reality||

inland oasis
#

||I thought hiemerdinger just got left behind in the alternate time, the machine only worked cuz he got out to fiddle with controls some more and then ekko poofed. It showed hiemerdinger vanish too? I assumed he just stayed.|| missed that too I guess

There is more blacked out text here than in a CIA document

Heimerdinger never does something by accident.

||The final scene featuring Heimerdinger||

#

My favorite shot from the entire season

#

One thing I know about Riot where character development is a concern. When they kill off a character, they make it clear that character is dead. When they plan on bringing a character back, they always make their end look like more of an epic mystery

#

I fully expect spin offs of the Arcane series

#

Season 2 was all about setting up alternatives

inland oasis

The quality they put out makes me want them to redo the live action borderlands but in the arcane art style and just let them do it

I know but they’d be able to I’m saying

Does Embracer Group still own Borderlands?

Because Riot is owned by Tencent

Might want to spoiler tag that one, seeing as it has clips from the Arcane finale

dry copper
#

I wonder if anyone would've known it was the finale if nobody told them

#

||How fucked up is it that Viktor literally spends all his time in his psychic realm talking to his guilt for killing Sky Young and then abandons her to destroy everyone else. His final words to her were basically, "I'll miss these talks" and she looks at him with disdain and says "No you won't"...because his guilt knows that in truth he really does not care about anything but himself.||

#

||His guilt could swallow the lie as long as he was doing good for others...but now it was all just for him||

I'm seeing Ekko everywhere

I think I might have just figured something out but I need to check to be sure...

dry copper
#

||I can't verify 100%, but checking the numbers, it looks like Jayce experiences a strange duplication effect as he's running around after returning to Pilter from the hexcore. I watched several episodes of the show over again trying to count all instances of this effect and counted the number of times Ekko used time reverse. I suspect there may be a correlation between Ekko's changing time and Jayce's experience of the flow of time since returning from the hexcore||

#

lol they will lose

#

It's contract law.

#

They don't have a monopoly and everyone's charging similar rates.

#

Even with the argument epic lowered their rates, historic precedence would suggest that they are the outlier.

#

Furthermore, game developers better be fucking careful. Even if they win, they lose.

#

This sets a precedent for consumers to sue publishers for over-pricing their games.

#

In this industry, developers and publishers having no control over the price of the products they release isn't exactly something they probably want.

#

I would be surprised if Epic Games didn't intervene to cut this lawsuit off at the knees. A lot of developers use the unreal engine and could lose profits if consumers could sue their publishers for a game price being considered "anti-competitive"

#

Hell...Being anti-competitive is EA's bread and butter.

#

Look at Sims games.

#

They wouldn't call it anti-competitive though. They'd tell you make your own sim game and sell it for less if you want to compete.

#

The same argument can be made for retail platforms.

Google is already on the verge of being forced to seperate their search engine from their other services they got their own problems

dry copper
#

Fortunately since dark cat holdings combined their case with this one to keep it alive, that act alone redefined it as a class action and will allow the court to kill two birds with one stone.

#

I read the dark cat case file. It's as vacuous as this one

#

All speculation contingent on attempts to re-define the word monopoly.

#

They claim other vendors that sell products for steam were instructed to not give steam customers any less of a discount on steamkeys than other platforms (without evidence). They must've forgotten to tell the vendors that. Thing is, when choosing to buy a game off another vendor that offers multiple platforms like microsoft, steam, egs and gog, I regularly see lower prices on competing platforms at different times.

#

The only argument I can see that works in their favor is that steam is the first price people see in games that are multiplatform and that's because steam regularly has discounts which the platform defaults to the lowest priced platform on display when selling.

#

GOG regularly undercuts steam though so...shrug

#

PS: Witcher 3 on GOG, $17.53 (Complete Edition - All DLC)

winter yew
#

I support the argument just because I've always thought 30 was too much

#

Like Jesus

dry copper
#

I don't support the argument because it undermines every publisher selling a video game that wants to charge what they believe their product is worth and it is speculation that tries to claim you can be a monopoly just for being successful - Which robs everyone that works hard of any incentive to as long as some scumbag can claim their success is a monopoly instead of hard work and luck.

#

The weight of their argument will fail on those grounds alone.

#

They haven't even provided evidence to support their claims.

#

Which of course they haven't. Not a single court has been willing to let it get that far.

Outside of Indies most devs are charging too much or will charge too much after DLCs and shit they know this that's why their fast to roll out sales

I'd rather you go buy physicals but I know most people use steam lol

dry copper
#

I hate that physical copies of games are so rare...I don't care that online was the #1 choice.

#

I just hate that physical are almost non-existent as a cost saving measure

#

It used to be over time the physical would lower the base value of the digital by virtue of the cost of warehousing

#

Nobody wants to warehouse a bunch of games so they sell off cheap which lowers the price of the digital to compete

#

Now with no physical copies, warehousing fees aren't an issue so digital copies stay more expensive for longer.

#

I believe that a product whether digital or physical should have a time based diminishing base price.

#

Physical gamers tried to warn you about many things back in the day digital won't always be cheaper was one of them lol

But I'll be fair

So far a judge said "Prove it"...the plaintiffs failed in every attempt and the judge said, "Yeah....fix your shit and get back to me"

#

So the plaintiffs went outside, bumped into another plaintiff with similar issues and equally vacuous arguments and said...
"Lets combine powers and change the definition of our case to force a lower standard of proof, then try again!"

#

If materially they do not provide more than conjecture and supposition, yet again Valve will see to its dismissal.

Doesn't make a difference if the patents are renewed or fresh, each of the 3 started in 2021 over completely bullshit things to patent.
Course, it pays to know when original patent application dates are, PocketPair failed to mention that and misled myself and many others.

#

incredibly specific legal wordings to patent a game mechanic

#

A way to select between throwing out a pokeball or a pokemon with a single input without leaving the same overworld, and choosing the pokeball or pokemon to send out with a different input. Getting into a stance once that's selected and exiting the stance once that same input is released, throwing the respective pokeball or pokemon out, either capturing the pokemon or initiating a battle depending on what was thrown out.

#

A way to aim while in the overworld using directional inputs, a way to use a second input in order to lock on to a target on the field, and giving you an indicator that displays info on the probability of a successful capture, and a way to use a third input to throw a capture device to capture the creature based on a specified probability, and once captured is owned by the player and can be used for combat.

#

A way to ride captured creatures, and a way to, while airborne, ride on a captured airborne mount in order to fly with a single input

#

also "3. The game program according to claim 1, further comprising a step of causing a predetermined damage to be inflicted on the player character when the player character falls to the ground from a height exceeding a predetermined standard or from the air at a speed exceeding a predetermined standard."

#

Patenting fall damage?

#

No

#

Ultimately a patch that fucks up Palworld's mechanics isn't going to change much; Nintendo wants an injunction, they want PocketPair to stop developing it altogether.

Plus payment in damages

Nintendo is making a mockery of Japan's justice system.

obtuse reef
#

Except that's kind of what Japan's justice system is

#

it's extremely strict

dry copper
#

To be mocked?

obtuse reef
#

no, it's just very strict and that can be abused

dry copper
#

Then it's not strict enough

obtuse reef
#

just like how the US system or the UK system is relatively lenient and that can be abused

dry copper
#

Because if it can be abused for being strict, the administration of justice is completely ineffectual.

obtuse reef
#

oh yeah, it's comically strict, especially when it comes to copyright laws

You don't win the exclusive war and console war without treating your ips like gold and any attempt at recreating them with the upmost scrutinizing

At least being too relaxed, a court decision can be overturned. Too strict, it can't be.

No I meant exactly what I said, they've successfully won two wars
Xbox failed early
Playstation failed recently

dry copper
#

lol....What?

winter yew
#

What's unclear?

dry copper
#

Your facts.

#

I don't know what metrics you're using.

winter yew
#

I haven't said anything unclear
Xbox exclusives died on Xbox 360, Sony faced horrible sales and still sell meh on pc

dry copper
#

Prove it

chilly scaffold
#

People still deny Nintendo won ?

dry copper
#

Hell. Sony sold more PS2's than Nintendo has consoles.

winter yew
#

I mean I'd be willing to do a couple googles to compare exclusive sales ps vs nintendo but this x9nvo weird lol

chilly scaffold
#

Sony changed how much the PS2 sold recently when Nintendo switch was catching up

dry copper
#

A war is not won in a single battle but over time and Nintendo is far from ahead of anyone.

chilly scaffold
#

Its unclear the total number of actual PS2 sales and cant be trustworthy now

obtuse reef
#

My opinion is that consoles in general are slowly fading out. They were extremely good when computers and gaming in general were just starting to become a new thing, but now that more and more people are starting to get familiar with technology, PCs and handheld are becoming more and more prominent

mental rose
#

I mean, with Xbox their flagship franchise was Halo.
Not sure if Playstation has one anymore.

dry copper
#

Sony not selling well on PC is no metric for its console performance.

Nintendo still has Mario and Pokemon as their golden geese

Also did Nintendo recently invest in Epic so they could use their characters in Fortnite or smth?
Don't quote me on that.

#

...Might've been Disney

winter yew
#

That would be crazy , imagine if the smash bro effect could be recreated

#

But I think it was Disney

dry copper
#

Fortnite has no Nintendo characters. Epic is interested.

#

Nintendo may be trying to force a console exclusive in fortnite suggesting they'd only allow nintendo characters if they were switch console exclusive.

chilly scaffold
#

The smash bros effect recreated would be cool
Nintendo wouldn't allow epic to put Mario on PlayStation the same way some Disney characters can't use guns

dry copper
#

I remember once upon a time there was a plan to build a console that could play everything...The most disgusting technological debauchery known to man...play xbox, playstation and nintendo games all on the same machine.

winter yew
#

You can do that on pc just not nintend9, lol

dry copper
chilly scaffold
#

I do think the time for exclusives are over but Nintendo did too good / was too successful they aren't going to stop Mario Kart 8 sales alone. Latest pokemon was the worst technical side but Uber succesful 3 mil 3 days
Along with the sales a company gets when they port a game to switch, look a few up. Release on Nintendo = $$$$

winter yew
#

I seen a interview where a indie dev said releasing on switch was their highest priority

#

Probably darkest dungeon I'm not sure it was like a year ago

dry copper
#

Once xbox is gone and migrates entirely to PC, the "war" will be over. Nintendo can not compete with Sony no matter how many copies of Zelda and Mario Kart are sold.

#

What ever version of winning is left to claim will be a sore prize given the only success in the console war is literally death by attrition.

chilly scaffold
#

On what basis? Every Nintendo exclusive has outsold every PlayStation exclusive
Ignoring the Wii u & PS2 the consoles have aswell

There is some trickery going on with the PS2 sales numbers though

dry copper
#

Of course. Ignoring the best selling consoles. Exclusives are trash. The practice of exclusivity is trash.

#

Sony isn't going to even need to worry about exclusivity once Xbox is out of the picture

chilly scaffold
#

This isn't the gacha moment you're implying
Not only is the PS2 three console gens ago so not relevant
Sony has also been conducting some suspicious behavior releasing news saying uh no actually it's sold more than 160 mil

dry copper
#

By virtue of attrition, with microsoft shifting to online PC gaming, Sony will have their entire market share

chilly scaffold
#

Sure but Nintendo is outselling in every category not by a small amount either

Look up Sony's sales for their exclusives then take another minute to check Nintendo's

dry copper
#

I do not consider exclusivity a metric of success and Nintendo exclusives cater to an entirely different market. Further, Sony "exclusives" are often competing directly with both PC and Xbox over time.

chilly scaffold
#

That's fine I understand what you're saying and it's a respectable point of view but Nintendo is still "winning" all direct competitions

#

I dislike the use of the word winning it's just an appropriate adjective

dry copper
#

I don't know what war you think is happening, but as I said before, wars are not won by a single battle. The metrics favoring nintendo literally only rise due entirely to Switch, starting in 2017 and even including them do not match Sony as far back as 2012.

chilly scaffold
#

I don't think any war is happening and as I just said I don't even like the adjective winning bring used

The metrics were favouring Nintendo before the Wii u aswell

dry copper
#

Sony will have released a Playstation 6 and 7 probably before Nintendo even moves on from the Switch

chilly scaffold
#

I've gathered this discord is anti Nintendo leaning but it don't change they are the cash cows as another user described

dry copper
#

Nintendo reported sales for the switch from 2017 to 2023 eclipsed their current gen competition, but including everything from 2012-2023, their sales still pale in comparison to Sony that have both the PS4 and 5 with more sales.

#

A combined sales metric of over 155 million, compared to Nintendo's 139mill

chilly scaffold
#

Nintendo 3ds games oldsold PS4 games on a game to game basis aswell

#

Wii u failed yes I don't think anyone's denying that but it still has respectable software numbers for its large failure

dry copper
#

3ds is included in the sales earnings for Nintendo's 139mil from 2012-2023

chilly scaffold
#

I'm aware. You're attempting to make a situation with many shades of grey black and white
3ds did very well against the PS4 and outsold most of its games

dry copper
#

You can check their annual reports. They are posted every year

#

Probably Spiderman sales aswell

I'd suspect Spiderman is one of the games Nintendo didn't beat

Consoles suck. PC is winning the console war by virtue of consoles not even trying to compete with it.

chilly scaffold
#

That's a non argument but there's plenty of reasons one may opt for a console

My stupid big pile of switch physicals would agree

Maybe its not the sales that matter, but the fact that you enjoy the games you buy?

More games. Lower prices. More sales.

edgy viper

#

More games yes lower prices is a non argument i can get games for cheap physical too , more sales arguable

#

Yeah if we're seriously having a platform war it's not allowed I thought we were just discussing nintendo casually

dry copper
#

Eh. I was casual, but facts don't matter when proofs don't

#

So I went the route of ludicrous

#

Because that seems to be the trend

yeah, but a PC offers that freedom straight out of the box

winter yew
#

Two things can be true moment, yes it's easier on pc yes its not a pc only perk

obtuse reef
#

I'm not denying that consoles have their place, a PC requires a lot more set up, but PC is just better

winter yew

The line between better is blurred

Speaking of games...Any good discounts this black friday (of any system)?

I was shocked to see so many shit discounts of like 30%

coarse swift
# chilly scaffold Two rules violated why would a mod ping not be appropriate?

imo it was a relatively civil discussion, one that was even diffusing despite the console favoritism happening. This reads more like a kid telling a teacher that someone did a bad thing just for the high of telling on someone
May as well make it all encompassing and get after ToS violations too, no discussion about jailbreaking consoles and repacks, right?
