Honestly Something Awful is way more hung up on the bear sex than anywhere else I've seen, other sites generally talk about the gameplay, plot or characters. I basically never saw a reference to the meme a week after release outside of Something Awful, meanwhile you still can't mention the game on these forums without someone Did You Know-ing about how much money the game made or how it was because of bear sex. I wanna say it's because on SA people are generally more fixated on trying to figure out 'why' games are popular? mycot fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jan 21, 2024 |

Rinkles posted:I don’t think it’s just a meme game. It’s not gonna be for everyone, but there was clearly some thought put into how to make this work. It’s got jank, but I think it’s a decent game. Yeah It's got an intro movie, some story, and an ending currently. It's taking people 30-40ish hours to get to endgame. Probably more to get all the Pals. It's got 100 Pals ingame already. It's got 6-7 total big boss fights. Tech tree is fully fleshed out already. They could drop support today and the game would be feature complete and fine at $25. Calling it a meme game is itself the meme at this point. I feel like we all agreed before release that there was no way this could be good, and rather than shrug and go "huh, guess it was" you've got a subset of people now weirdly needing to cling to the fact it's secretly not good. Everyone is just on board the meme train! They'll fall off! Just you wait!

There is a post from a certain permabanned goon shortly after Death Stranding came out where they said they were looking forward to (literally waiting with excitement) people turning on the game so that they could they gloat about being right all along for never liking anything. I think about that a lot.

euroshopper posted:ya but i need goon opinions on the game before i buy Personally I found the story to be overall kind of gross because it's all about protecting a literal baby/very young child from all the post-apocalyptic rapists who want to kidnap her for gross reasons (and they succeed multiple times iirc) and I didn't really want to deal with those themes enough to finish it, but the gameplay itself was pretty good and it does some interesting things with choices that have major permanent consequences. At one point I made a choice that literally cost me an arm, which changed up my character's combat abilities and came up multiple times in how story events got resolved. If you can stomach the themes of the game it's a pretty fine indie RPG, maybe even good. It had big Earthbound vibes mechanically and in some of the presentation, but instead of being wholesome like Earthbound it was the exact opposite of that. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jan 21, 2024 |

Palworld is pretty funny. I swung at some random tutorial NPC (who, like everyone else in the game at this point is wearing like caveman clothes and armed with a sharp stick) and a big WANTED symbol popped up and immediately a cop ran up wearing modern riot gear and pulled out a pistol and killed me in a couple shots. Got a legitimate laugh out loud from me.

Sometimes I leave Steam reviews just so I can click the box that says I received the game for free, even though I didn't  I don't know why anyone is perplexed why someone thinks Palworld is a meme game, when leading up to its release that's all anyone had to say about it. I had never even heard the term "meme game" until people started talking about Palworld. credburn fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jan 21, 2024 |

With like a kabillion sales? these open world survival crafting games can thrive in early access for the better part of a decade because the core gameplay mechanic is to push the game to the limits between major updates and server resets

In Lisa, you're only able to use a savepoint a single time, and at one point you get a motorcycle that is as functional inside the RPG Maker engine as you can imagine. I gave up after like the third time in a row, trying to jump over a gap or something on the motorcycle caused the game to freeze for a moment, which caused me to fall down a pit and die, which meant I lost all that fuckin progress because you can't just save your game at any time, or multiple times  I liked it until that point though. I kind of would like to play it through with cheats or something

Rookersh posted:Something really important to say about BL3 is if you do plan to play it, stop playing at a pivotal moment and dig up the cutscene they removed. I actually didn’t know about this but honestly I completely forgot about her. Which yes is probably in no small part because that cutscene was removed but there’s a lot more problems than just that one character. Edit: lol though that they cut this out but left in Girl on Fire

Palworld is a playable shitpost pushing the boundaries of IP infringement, made by some AI dude, and it’s massive with all the Twitch freaks who need something to watch while their favourite bikini streamer is offline. It’s not a surprise it’s popular. Is it any good? I honestly don’t think it matters. We’re a month removed from The Day Before, we know Gamers™️ will latch onto weird poo poo for weird reasons, and at least Palworld meets the bar of being a functional product that isn’t an obvious scam.

It's truly a genius move to combine the Treepuncher audience and the Pokemon audience, the two groups of people that are well known to have absolute zero standards.

It's a meme game. Meme games can be both competently made and fun to play. Anyway there's a 2D ARPG set to go into EA this quarter https://store.steampowered.com/app/2395770/never_grave_the_witch_and_the_curse/
