If Directs’ filler is farming sim RPGs and State of Plays’ are ball and gun games, the Game Awards’ filler games are the equivalent of A24 movies made for the sole purpose of winning an Oscar.
No gameplay. Just cutscenes and graphics that are trying to imitate previous winners.
This said, what Palworld is doing is NOT the way that it should be done. It’s cheap, disingenuous, and just a little bit scummy. Art theft, even when done to a big “fuck the consumer” company like Pokémon, sets a bad precedent for the future.
It trickles down to the little guy.
I truly believe that the only reason people are defending Palworld is because it is copying Pokémon.
If this game was stealing or plagiarizing from any other, more well-respected game/franchise, there would not be anything close to the divide going on right now.
And I’ll be honest, Pokemon deserves to have some actual competition for once.
My opinion of SV has really soured as time goes on and I really don’t see any future games being any more innovative or polished with so little incentive to do so.
Also just because I think that Ada’s performance in this remake was really bad, I would never harass the voice actress because of that. Anyone who does so needs to reflect because that’s a horrible thing to do.
Fuck is wrong with you people?
I truly can not fathom the idea that some people think this a bad thing. Not a single argument I’ve seen against this has been anything more than insane ramblings of people who hate kids.
If you genuinely think this is a negative, you are a terrible person.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
And I can’t help but think, “How can you see hundreds to thousands of people legitimately arguing against your point and still think, yeah, I’m in the right.”
Get a grip, buddy.
One of my favorite things about Twitter discourse is that it’s usually sparked by a single dumb person. I check the replies and every single person is arguing why they’re wrong.
Fast forward to me checking their profile and they tweet “wow, these people need help!”
I understand this tweet is probably just giving them exactly what they want, but I don’t care. I just want them gone.
Don’t interact with them or try to reason. Just report, block, and move on.
Can everyone help me get this @LNexxus011 kid banned? Bro just posts link to awful YouTube videos in response to tragedies.
Fake videos “depicting” Schaffrillas’s car accident. Footage of a synagogue shooting on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Police brutality body cam footage.
This guy might be the single best bait account on this website relative to the community they reside in.
Obviously bro does not think this is what stegosaurus would have looked like.
And honestly I’d be worried about his mental if this wasn’t meant to be a joke.
TLDR: S/V perfected the basic formula of Pokémon, but is missing the Legends: Arceus features that made that game properly fun, interesting, and a fresh new experience.
So far I am having a pretty great time with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It has been really fun to run around the world and collect Pokémon, despite the performance issues.
The most disappointing thing about the game it’s that it is SO CLOSE to being the best Pokémon game.
Scarlet and Violet, I think, are the foundation that all future games NEED to build upon. At the same time, all future games NEED the gameplay of Arceus to return.
If not, I fear that Pokemon will never have a great modern gaming experience. It may always feel old and dated.
