What the heck is rumbleverse

tranquil obsidian
#

basicaly an open world battle royale wrestling game that had one of the worst marketing campaigns that led to people avoiding it because of how bad the trailers were

#

think fortnite but anime wrestling logic

#

from what ive heard, the game itself was fine and actually fun; its just noone gave it a chance

#

often citing the terrible marketing and promotion, and the genre (battle royale) going through fatigue at the time

snow thistle
#

Their fans go around asking every publisher to "save it" but none of them seem to ask the actual developers haha

#

I don't know why they think it's up to publishers to do anything

tranquil obsidian
#

a live service game, its definitely more on the devs cause theyre the ones who have to actually keep it running =p

verbal thunder
#

I think somebody should tell them that or to give up rumbleverse

tranquil obsidian
#

i dont even know if the devs would want to; basically every other post about the game at the time was complaining about the balancing and thats from the people who even gave it a chance

#

gotta be pretty morally crippling to wade through hundreds of posts bashing your work

if its something youre interested in learning about , i imagine this guy probably explains it way better than i ever could

If those Rumbleverse fans are such big fans, they can pay for the servers themselves. Back when Battlefield 3 came out, there was tons of DICE funded servers, but if you wanted your own server for 64 player matches, you could pay a monthly fee.

i think the only argument they can have at this point is shared inspiration which might pass for the monsters but the humans definitely on the nose

#

that or "not available in this region" but i think you can get horizon in China

mental summit
#

Didn’t they also like ask Sony for permission to make a horizon game, but when they said no they just made their own horizon game?

Palworld was clearly inspiration, even PokĂ©mon fans were stretching with multiple PokĂ©mon images for single pals, these are multiple single images against single images, and unlike us they can’t really make the argument of “penguins swim, water is blue, therefore I made a blue penguin and that’s an original idea”, these are multiple extremely similar pictures where it’s harder to prove originality. Not that I care about either series, but seems like Sony is gonna cook em

tranquil obsidian
#

i mean, after forbidden west i wouldn't mind someone else trying a horizon game =p

#

but yeah, with palworld the inspiration is clear, but they very clearly did their own thing. no-one who has spent one hour playing Pokémon and palworld is going to say they're the same game

#

with the above though, it's very clearly the same characters, monsters, world and gameplay theres almost no variation so i think it's a loss for them

mental summit
#

But i could totally see people saying that if they play either of this game, grab a bunch of strangers off the street and tell them one is an early access/beta version of the other and they might believe you

tranquil obsidian
#

when arrowhead failed to get permission to make a starship troopers game, they didn't just make it anyway; they rebuilt a world, lore, mechanics and gameplay of it's own (Helldivers) so even though it's clearly starship troopers, no-one would call it a ripoff

That’s kinda messed up.

yeah, it's never straightforward lol

though if someone says no, you don't just steal it anyway lmao

It’s a different situation from what happened with the original Warcraft game.

i won't say no to more horizon, especially after fw (i loved zd, but fw just felt...off) but you have to at least look like you tried to do something different =p

#

Warcraft 1 was originally supposed to be a Warhammer game, but the license got pulled at the last minute.

tranquil obsidian
#

yeah, pulling out at the last minute is very messy

#

but this was a case of them never getting the license in the first place so i wouldn't count it

peak folio
#

So they basically changed everything to be legally distinct and released it as Warcraft

peak folio

They like tried to extort the license or something. croajirokek

#

Palworld’s creatures might seem much to people who think every Pokemon is Pikachu, but any fan that can identify them immediately knows that any given pal is not a pokemon.

Even though the inspiration is pretty obvious.

if you win both, you get jolteon (resists Pikachu), lose one you get flareon (neutral to Pikachu) and lose two you get vaporeon (weak to Pikachu)

#

obviously it's an extremely simplified version of it, but it is an enemy who changes based on previous encounters

peak folio
#

I wouldn’t say that’s a related thing, just some simplex rubber banding.

tranquil obsidian
#

rubber banding is usually for real time stuff like races in mario kart.

this is closer to adaptive difficulty (game gets easier if you suck, harder if you're good)

Just something to help you out for doing badly.

It doesn’t step on the patent in question at all.

#

ultimately though you want to be paid for your work, and in countries like China of you don't sell it there, they'll just bootleg it and sell it anyway and then investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong

#

at the end of the day, most censorship for china isn't because the creators agree, but because you'd rather get paid for your work than ultimately let it be stolen. teams are often very large and you're essentially denying creators money they may very well need to meet rent or provide for their loved ones

#

ultimately you'll swallow your pride for the good of your team

#

you refusing to sell your product there isn't going to change anything

peak folio
#

Palworld be killin’ it in China tho

tranquil obsidian
#

if China likes your work, you're basically set. 1% of China buying your product is like 5% of America buying it

#

and that's just raw population numbers; accounting for social mentalities, if 1% of China buys your game it'll be 5% by the end of the week

#

I'm certainly not phrasing it very well but essentially it's much easier to make a game 10% of China will like than a game 10% of America will like

#

and 10% of China is ~40% of America

peak folio

America hates Palworld anyway. a

bronze mesa

# peak folio America hates Palworld anyway. a

This I disagree with, putting guns in it made the majority of Americans believe it was made with them in mind.

Now they could be wrong but between that and the east/west split reaction to the lawsuit, I’d they don’t hate palworld.

I see no reason anyone other than Nintendo would hate Pocketpair or Palworld

#

And I personally discount the Pokemon """fans""" and their """opinion""" because it's patently obvious they logged on Twitter, saw a creature collector related post that isn't their esoteric dream of what Pokemon needs to be, and proceeded to throw their device across the room

Tem tem might.
Many desperate people went to them, they might have left for Palworld

peak folio
#

completely different game, though

night plume
#

Many people played it for the creature collecting

peak folio
#

As a creature collector, Palworld has kind of turned people off from that crowd since it’s so different from what they were expecting.

#

It’s a plenty big enough hit where it doesn’t really matter, though, since it’s a combination that works for plenty.

Temtem was bleh. Terrible visually and the combat was pretty boring.

#

They also back pedaled on delivering their MMO vision

deep idol
#

The AAA gaming industry has stagnated a lot these days. It is because of this about 75% of my steam profile is filled with games from indies and other similar developers. Palworld is one game on that list.

teal iron
#

Because they clearly don't like Pokemon LatWTF

peak folio
#

So you’re saying this plays like Pokemon?

deep idol
#

The problem is, where are the other comparisons? Pokemon is pretty much the only one. Sure, there are ones like Digimon, but they are not near as ubiquitous in the creature collector genre.

teal iron
#

Well, the statistics show that they do """like""" Pokemon, but one has to question how much of that is "I will endure being dragged across hot coals for my beloved togekiss" and/or "I greatly enjoy [product]"

#

Rather than actually buying the game because they enjoy Pokemon's formula

#

I think a pretty decent number of people merely tolerate the formula, because they love the creatures or are hoping each game will be the one that breaks said formula

peak folio
#

So
 is that a yes or a no?

teal iron
#

That's where a lot of the angsty tension comes from, afaik, is people who really don't like Pokemonℱ, but LOVE PokĂ©mon

teal iron

There ya go.

teal iron

I'm asking you what exactly people expected that they would want, because there's a very consistent distaste for Pokemon formula

The bakery section has shrunk, so has the size of the bread

There's a security monitoring station at the bottom of the stairs, two guys watching cameras on a podium with all the feeds

The doors open and close really slowly

The entrance is a single gate that swings open, no longer open plan, funneled in like sheep

Variety is in the toilet, everything too expensive, did I mention the bakery?, loaves of bread in the fresh section are really small, they cut the ingredients by what seems to be a third

How tf is a massive supermarket chain having money troubles

They have a ton of self checkouts, so need less staff

#

They seem to fail a principle of economics

deep idol
zinc depot
#

Maybe

deep idol
#

Something like this.

zinc depot
#

If you make a margin of 50p on a pie that costs ÂŁ3

#

And you put it up to ÂŁ4

#

People stop buying

deep idol
#

Who's going to tell that the video game industry? Jump from $70 to $80 or $90.

teal iron
#

Video games are totally different

zinc depot
#

But if you put the price down to ÂŁ2.20 and only make say 30p on the margin, more people buy, but you'll sell a lot more pies and profit goes up beyond what you make on the reduced people buying at ÂŁ4

#

They seem to be gouging the crap out of everything ingelredient wise, raising the prices and hyper focusing on reducing theft with a load of security guards

deep idol
#

Well, I am no economist. I am just thinking common sense. đŸ€·

teal iron
#

The individual copies are relatively inexpensive basically free to replicate and distribute, but carry a huge R&D cost that has to be made up by many many sales before there is ever a profit, despite the almost non-existent cost of providing an individual item

#

Because studios are investing more and more into their production, and f2p addictive titles like fortnite are essentially blocking off more and more of the audience, the risk of simply not selling enough at $60 keeps rising

teal iron
#

Now whether the production budgets are money well spent is another discussion but it costs a LOT of money to make these games, and if they don't sell Production Cost/Price copies they lose the game

zinc depot
#

Shrink

peak folio
teal iron
#

The game of economics, that is

#

They keep the actual video game , although in the case of ea maybe they shouldn't

night plume
#

The company buys too much, puts it out, and then they have to shrink it out as loss.
(Shrink is when it hits expiration)

teal iron
#

So yeah just charge people more, pretty simple logic

night plume
#

To combat this, most companies raise the prices of items that sell to make up the money, instead of buying less goods

Food is always in demand because people need to eat

#

The principle is simple, its not like other industries where the good is a luxury

teal iron
#

Now, for most people this is incredibly stupid logic but for big companies like Nintendo or Activision who sink enormous costs into developing call of duty 16k 4000fps HDR ultra or literally an entire game console and who know for a fact that they are going to sell like crazy, it is just objectively the best option

zinc depot
#

It's not a pure market, it has credit debt and parasites

deep idol
#

I figured pricing a game at $30 or $40 instead of $60 or $70 would actually be more profitable since it would reach a lot more people.

deep idol
zinc depot
#

They want 200% more profit and screw you, basically

teal iron
#

You can say it's dumb but Mario kart world has probably raked in a bigger profit with its $80+$450/$500 price tag than would support your theory

zinc depot
#

That pricing will bite them in the ass

teal iron
#

And ignoring the $450 console which is its own discussion the game is genuinely extremely good and is of superb development quality

#

Nintendo charges $80 because they make premium video games and know they have the brand power to sell those games at premium rates

zinc depot
#

It's not sustainable, people are generally not going to keep buying games at such a high tag

teal iron
#

EA charges $80 because they're insane and have a gambling problem

peak folio
#

Switch 2 already the fastest selling console launch of all time.

zinc depot
#

It'll collapse, you can't just jack up prices like that and have long term stability

peak folio
#

But I can see why they’re terrified to raise the price on it.

teal iron
#

In the long term these rising costs are going to hit a ceiling where unless the rest of the economy improves people will stop buying it

zinc depot
#

They get too big

peak folio
#

But yeah, idk with that much momentum a collapse is unlikely without some catastrophic event.

zinc depot
#

Too many employees

teal iron
#

But $80 for Nintendo Quality is more sustainable than a diverse energy portfolio that leverages available resources to their fullest

zinc depot
#

That seal of quality was worthy, 40 years ago

teal iron
#

Will they make more by selling more copies for less money?
Maybe, but that's not how they operate

peak folio
#

Nintendo raised the prices on all the old classic label games when they ported them to the Switch.

#

They can basically do whatever they want.

zinc depot
#

Greed always comes back to collect it's pound of flesh

teal iron
#

If pocket pair had a divine vision that Palworld was going to blow up regardless of price they would've slapped a six over the 3 on the price tag

#

$20-$40 is very sustainable for moderately successful games but if the game is gonna sell a billion copies literally the higher the better

zinc depot
#

It wouldn't have sold as many copies

#

It sold well because it was a novel concept and relatively cheap, doubling the price would have given people pause, we aren't all rich aristocrats

teal iron
#

Not as many as 15 million is still a lot

#

Again this assumes that they had some psychic vision confirming it would've sold well regardless

#

Large AAA studios don't have psychic visions but they do have much more diverse portfolios and way more capital they can afford to lose, so the gamble is worth it

zinc depot
#

I dislike those studios

teal iron
#

If it flops, that is a tragedy but the only people losing their jobs are the expendable people working on the specific game that flopped

#

The problem is they neither play it truly safe by making prudent investment decisions nor do they actually go all in on the gamble, so you tend to get a muddled slop that isn't quite brave enough

zinc depot
#

They all think bigger budget=better

#

We spent 40 million on this game

Guy in a basement coding his game alone while working in a shop made a more popular game

teal iron
#

Indies tend to be limited by their means but you'll notice that they're a lot more brave and willing to try new things even if they don't seem to have much of a plan

deep idol
#

When it comes to the stock exchange, infinite growth in a finite system is a terrible design choice. Yes, it would be great at first, but it is no place for stability. Growth-or-bust. Even if you become vastly popular and your customers like your product, what happens when you hit 95%+ market saturation? There is only going to be so many people left before there is nowhere left to grow. Your stocks crash, your customers are cut off, the investors lose their money and are angry at you instead of the finite market, everyone loses.

At this point, making your company public is perhaps the dumbest life decision anyone can make. The money is not worth it if you will lose it all anyway.

Holy shit actual introspection? We got the good ending

If my 2 cents matters, off of what I vaguely know about it sounds like what’s happening in the uk sucks, really it does, and I wish I could do something but I really can’t. Not to mention, I’m American, I have enough shit going on in my own country and frankly have trouble keeping track of everything that’s happening over here. Palworld is like, one of the last few bastions of pure joy I have left in my life, I really don’t want it to be swamped with even more negativity that I don’t have any control over.

But sometime tonight I just checked my bank account and both charges are gone, but not refunded.

Now I'm just confused af...

#

from what I've seen of pocketpair themselves, their approach seems to be taking something that exists and putting a twist on it or taking two things and fusing them to create something new which is why I've been following a while

#

taking something that exists and putting a spin on it is something i can appreciate, but admittedly dead take is a example of something not doing that. from the trailers i don't see what make it different from something like "the park" where you just walk around and get jumped occasionally

#

and the park was terrible, so when your game reminds me of a bad game that's not a good impression =p

One of the reasons Smash Bros tournaments stopped being as frequent as they were is bc they made it where you had to get their permission. If they discovered you had a tournament without it, they cane after you for reparations

Swords are overused bc of the knights of the kingdom fantasy element. Almost everyone enjoys a fantasy tale around that type.

My issue with swords in a lot of modern shows is the existence of weapons made to overtake swords. I don't want a swordsman that can deflect every bullet from a gun. I don't want magic that renders having a sword obsolete.

I want era weapon types with era weapon types.

And I don't mind some guns in a show with swords bc there is a transtion period. Just don't make the swordsman so overpowered that the guns make no sense. But do allow for the inaccuracies of the guns and people using them

#

My 2 cents anyways o.o

zinc depot
#

Swords are cool

#

Guns are cooler

zinc depot
#

Guns make swords obsolete

#

In the era, they were solid weapons, and a knight in armor armed with a broadsword was a force of nature

glad needle
#

Meanwhile, axes, hammers and knives are ALL still in use as tools and weapons

#

Swords weren’t even the best weapon of war in their time

zinc depot
#

True, but they were a staple

#

Other weapons took more skill

glad needle
#

An axe or hammer took more skill?

zinc depot
#

Yes

#

Warhammer needs a really big dude to use and swings leave you wide open

#

Axes only have one edge unless battle axe, and it's also a big weapon

#

A roman gladius is better

glad needle
#

Even the so called “hunting sword” was not used in any respectable way

teal iron
#

Nobody actually uses a knife, hammer, or axe in modern combat unless they don't have a working gun

#

There was a guy who used a longbow in wither world war 1 or world war 2 and I'm pretty sure he was also just kind of a psychopath who was there for the fun of killing people and not any noble cause

#

Grossly overrated would be the katana and the revolver

#

Katana is the revolver of swords, and vice versa

#

Both are moderately effective but romanticized in media as being almost magical weapons
It's more egregious with revolvers because there are literally handguns that are better in every way than revolvers, even aesthetic
But katanas are also given this romantic treatment as somehow being on a tier above other long bladed weapons
SylveonGlare looking at you, level 60 oil rig
Like they're literally just uniquely shaped sword and gun and media often depicts them as something a lot more

Hi guys

#

You would be shot and killed just as fast as with a sword as with a knife

#

The difference is that there was a time in history when a sword WAS a viable weapon, knives have always been only the "oh crap my real weapon is unavailable i'll just have to use this"

#

basically the same tier as a broken wine bottle

glad needle
#

Even my dad, an actual U.S. Navy veteran, said straight up he preferred knives over guns, because the knife is a tool first then a weapon. As opposed to a gun which is only good for lethal force

Many swords would break immediately if you tried to cut a cinderblock with them

You don't need to cut bone it's a sword it cut through almost every type of armor available at the time

Swords were the weapon of choice at that time bc they were made for battle against various armors.
Knives, axes, and hammers were not effective against armor. They could be used in a pinch, but it is not what you would want to take against armor bc you would have to make sure you land blows in certain locations to be effective.

teal iron
#

I mean you wanna try to stab someone wearing full plate armor with a dinky little knife, or do you want to use a weapon with actual reach

#

if it wasn't a sword it was a polearm those are the weapons that killed people in that time

#

Or a longbow

#

The french found out the hard way, multiple times, that strong peasant + đŸč = 💀 (even with full plate armor)

#

it was when stuff like crossbows and muskets started appearing that the sword started to become obsolete because it was now possible for an ordinary guy without special training to kill another guy through heavy armor at a distance

#

Knives, axes, and hammers were never really in fashion except in the non-combat trades where they are still used today (although obviously great improvements have been made)

#

like yeah modern soldiers carry knives but more for cutting rope than for actually stabbing people

#

to reduce the world to a binary where you pick one to use in both combat and utility is a strange and reductive way of thinking
Both are vital parts of a soldier's kit, both are (hopefully) reliable tools, and they both fulfill vastly different roles

#

Yeah a knife can be used for combat
With about the same efficiency as using a gun to cut rope
Yes it is possible, but why. why would you do that if you have a choice

glad needle
#

Well of course I’d use a gun first, then one of those melees

Shotguns are best

As far as I know, yeah that stuff can turn a human into swiss cheese at most reasonable ranges

like obviously there's a point where you want a more accurate gun but that point is closer to, I think I heard the number 150 meters? As opposed to video games where the shotgun becomes ineffective faster than my vision does without glasses

I don't know why they did the semi auto shotgun dirty like that

#

does pocketpair actually think that's how shotguns work?
It's not like an FPS where there isn't a literal tier progression system

#

The semi auto is at a higher tier it does not need to be balanced around the behavior of other weapons

peak folio
#

It’s for gameplay reasons

teal iron

They gave it FPS semi auto gameplay in a third person survival game with a progression system

You’d never be able to shoot skeet with most video game shotguns

Ok but palworld literally starts applying a huge damage cutoff at 10 meters

They just need to differentiate them more so they spread like crazy

#

You have to physically shove the barrel down a creature's throat in order to do full damage

peak folio
#

Ngl I wouldn’t mind if they adjusted that

teal iron
#

It should have the same damage falloff as the assault rifle

#

maybe a little closer

#

it's not that they follow the stereotype, it's that they followed it way harder in a situation where it should be followed less

#

like people would expect the shotgun to behave kinda weak at range, so making it irl-accurate would feel weird, I get it
But the difference between the shotty and other weapons is night and day

#

Every gun in palworld can be a sniper rifle if you're brave except the shotguns
