 this twitch stream title is giving me some kind of a brain disease just from reading it e: lmao at the green lantern boss fight where he just spawns like a million stationary glowing green balls and you beat him by walking around the arena and shooting all of them while they float in place doing nothing like target dummies RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Deadshot: Didn't you hear? we are out on good behavior. *kills Green Lateran* King Shark: No we aren't...  *King Shark then turns into the Green Lateran* This game is so weird.

GlyphGryph posted:What i dont understand is the wildly different responses Palworld and Dead Cells got. Both games rip off all of their best parts from open games, blatantly wearing it on their sleeves, but I've never actually heard any complaint about it over dead cells. Or maybe I just missed it? The better comparison than Dead Cells is Vampire Survivors, imo. It even more flagrantly ripped off a mobile game and then added the slot machine element on top, and all of the sprites are just Castlevania stuff but with slightly altered pixels alongside characters such as Not!Bayonetta. It sold like gangbusters at a cheap price point and got so popular that most people think it is the original because of how many mobile clones of it popped up in response to its success, and nobody has ever meaningfully criticized it especially on the level that Palworld got criticized for similar stuff.

Honestly I keep being shocked I haven't seen a single person bring up Darksiders in the "not legally plagiarism but we can see the notes you copied" discussion. Did they take the portal gun from Portal directly? No, it's a gauntlet now. Does it work the exact same? Hell gently caress yeah it did and it was really cool to use inside of what was a blatant 3D Zelda-clone which was another "wow, that's not what I expected on the tin" moment sort of like all of the POKEMON WITH GUNS trailers not quite giving away that it was gonna be a survival and building sim for ages.

sounds like it owns op but those are both examples of poo poo stealing gameplay mechanics, while the people online complaining about their beloved intellectual property being tarnished dont care about the gameplay at all you'll notice that there's nobody jumping out to defend ark from genre theft here

Also you can't copyright gameplay mechanics but you can copyright character designs so it's not like Valve could do anything about it

When folks are talking about the plagiarism in Palworld they primarily just mean that a bunch of Pals are very, very similar model and design wise. Gameplay wise Palworld took like how you can throw pokeballs? Maybe how pokemon also just scatter pokemon about their open areas. The stuff they take in Palworld is weird, like when you find a new area a jingle plays that's very like the one in Breath of the wild along withe the location name looking similar in presentation. What I'm surprised at is that the Boltmane/Luxray plagiarism stuff nobody mentions that Boltmane isnt actually in the game and was datamined.

darksiders has always been a very strange franchise to me because it managed to be successful enough for three whole-rear end games, but i've never heard anyone talking about it, and i say that as someone that even played the first back in the day

That was a patent, which has different requirements and expires a lot faster than a copyright But yes you can still use those to gently caress people over

I have been told I need to try Darksiders: Genesis because it's one of the only titles to knock off Lara Croft and the Temple of Light, as a really good co-op action game/puzzle-platformer. I will never try Darksiders 2 again because it just sucked to play... And also had that random drop item horseshit with no loot filters or reason other than time wasting to exist. In a single player game.

Dead cells literally wants you to know what games they took their skills and mechanics and encounters from, recognizing "oh thats [thing] from [game]" is literally the whole point of a good half the game. I brought it up because like Palworld it is a very intentional mishmash that explicitly expects its users to recognize the sources its taking from because it adds to user enjoyment - vampire survivors was more of a visual ripoff but it wasnt similarly open about it from what I recall? People seriously asking "what did desd cells rip off" are just... Isnt literally every character model but the starting one from a different game? And like a good two third of the skills and cards at least, just from the ones I recognized - Inwouldnt be surprised if the percentage was higher. Several of the enemies, nearly all of the special encounters, and basically all the enoyable mechanics and structure. Its not a perfect comparison or anything, but I thought it was good enough

Vermain posted:darksiders has always been a very strange franchise to me because it managed to be successful enough for three whole-rear end games, but i've never heard anyone talking about it, and i say that as someone that even played the first back in the day that's cause the 2nd game loving sucked. Like, really badly, I've never had such bad whiplash going from one game to the next. The unique thing about Darksiders games is that each entry, which focuses on a different character, plays differently in a way to fit that character. Unfortunately Death got the short stick that probably soured a lot of people on the series. Seriously the dumbest story. Darksiders 3 is awesome though you can see that devs were like "hey how about that Dark Soulish deliberate combat instead of DMC", not a bad thing mind you. Genesis is also great, a top down twin stickstyle character action brawler hybrid thing, which gets bonus points for being equally fun in co-op or singleplayer. edit: ef;b, but yeah as a whole Darksiders is a great series with one real fuckin' stinker. Seriously gently caress the trash fire that is Darksiders 2. I look forward to when we get to play 4 and the whole gang reunites.

D.Fuzzbot posted:VS had to change all their sprites though correct? Like olrox's sprite used to literally be in the game. VS was also a weekend hobby project for the dev, so he just used a Castlevania spritesheet without even thinking about it because it was something he'd probably lose interest in within a few months. Then it exploded, made a bunch of money and I think one of the first things he did was commission original sprites.
