Palworld devs heard “nothing at all” from Pokémon creators despite everyone calling it 'Pokémon with guns'
  • Which is what everyone with some sense predicted, except Xitter exploded into drama from faking proof that it was directly copying Pokémon to claiming wild things like using gen AI to create the models.

    These things are easily verified (or rather, debunked), but it was already too late. I lost a lot of faith in some gaming journalists as they kept perpetuating the wild takes and claims.

    We'll do this all again soon with another game and we will not learn from it.

  • I don't use crossbows in video games
  • I'm not sure. It depends on what feels "wrong" to you about using crossbows.

    Could it be that it doesn't have the same loop of acquire target > buildup to shot > shot because the buildup part is after the shot instead?

    It does add to the weapons complexity in that you have to plan differently and more deliberately compared to the myriad of bow gameplay out there.

    But the fun part is, Link's Crossbow Training doesn't have any of that. It's just an on-rails shooter in Twilight Princess's set pieces where your crossbow acts like a repeater with infinite ammo. So if that sounds like it could break the curse, it might be fun. But it's also far away from actual crossbow mechanics, so whatever.

  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Four Swords – Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
  • I had it on the gamecube, but to play multiplayer you each needed a gameboy with link cable, still.

    This could be explained by the use of the GBA screen when in caves and buildings, but it's a very easy method to fleece the fans while the general public will go "never mind, not worth".

  • [Article] Build the greatest car parks ever in the Car Park Capital!
  • That sounds pretty good. Kinda like Terra Nil but you're tasked with "cleaning up" cities by rezoning them and stuff. Could be educational, a simulation, or both.

    Maybe we should organise a game jam that's about finding alternative transport solutions

  • YouTube offers virtual trophies so you can feel bad about quitting premium

    I started a free trial and cancelled it immediately to have no ads while on holiday. Didn't realize they are offering some illusion of achievements as a "reward" for your attention, doubling as a FOMO weapon for when you want to quit.

    We all know bears don't know how to play chess. This is proof!
