Or be an adult and realize that it's possible your thoughts and opinions on this particular subject were not well-formed and they changed on new information.
Thats rather an ironic take for you to say while not being adult about how you conduct yourself.

The only thing ruined here are pants shitting AAA devs selling $250 collectors editions that don't even come with all the DLC with MTX and always online getting clowned on by a UE5 $30 game made by 30-40 people that looks like a PlayStation 3 game.
With one of the main people holding the 30-40 people together being a high school dropout working at a 7/11 uploading gun animations to youtube in his spare time.

probably because Snake is the name of both characters and in the game Solid Snake says his real name is Plissken which is the name of the guy in the movie

Like it isn't that hard to reformulate an opinion with new information. I think some people just like to shit on something because it's popular.
Which again you would be 100% wrong but you will continue to inject that notion.

but fyi Teddy this is the point

the fact you even thought something as shameless as Metal Gear was transformative goes to show just how common and accepted clones are in video gaming

fyi Snake Plissken is the main character in Escape from New York and literally is the exact image of Solid Snake who says his real name is Plissken

So all the stuff about the military industrial complex, the anti American message, etc was taken from that work? You can argue that any dude with an eye patch and similar hair is a clone.

It honestly wouldn't matter because they literally ripped the main character and didn't even bother changing their name

but anyways here is a list:

Escape from New York references/influences in Metal Gear Solid
false
It's not unknown that Escape from New York inspired many elements in Metal Gear. I've known this for years. However, I haven't actually watched the film until now. I thought it was fun seeing all the similarities. Some were more obvious and others I'm stretching a little bit. Here's a few observations I made (mostly applies to MGS1):
  • The main character's name is Snake, who is a special forces veteran and really likes smoking (Kojima is very upfront with the influence).
  • The specific "Snake Plissken" name is used in both series.
  • Both series involve having characters wearing an eyepatch. Big Boss has a real one, and Solid Snake has the Solid Eye on the same side as Kurt Russell.
  • Snake and Snake Plissken have some impressive mullets.
  • Both are cold, cynical and tired (although Solid, Big Boss, and Venom have characterization beyond this).
  • Belligerent relations with the CO.
  • The characters mention not liking needles in mission prep.
  • Solid and Plissken are injected with some sort of fail-safe in case of mission failure or betrayal (neck-explosives/FOXDIE).
  • Solo infiltration mission.
  • Reliance on insider help (Brain and Maggie/Otacon and Meryl).
  • Worth noting that Brain and Otacon are both engineers, who collaborated with the terrorists either willingly or unwillingly.
  • A final car escape against a time limit.
  • Supposed to be stealth mission but what actually happens in the movie and games kind of imply that being undetected didn't really matter (hello alerts).
  • Terrorists make their play the day before an international nuclear treaty (Hartford summit/START II).
  • Plans involve blackmailing/undermining the president.
  • Main character gets captured.
  • There's a fist fight close to the end.
I haven't seen Escape from L.A. and there's probably a lot more that I missed, but these were the ones I noticed personally.

Ahh that silly lol. Definitely seems like a friendly relationship here if no efforts was made for legal distinction.

correct

what is hilarious is Palworld did MORE to differentiate from Pokemon than MGS did from Escape from New York

yet they guy who supposedly has such an issue with this thinks MGS is just fine...cause it had a mech

yet palworld having crafting is not enough

Nothing. Just that those are like the main fucking themes of nearly every one of the games.

They supported Craftopia a lot, they will add more stuff and people will come back to it. I was into Craftopia for a bit even though it was shit, we'd put it down for a few weeks til an update and then dive in for hours more.

Me and the wife put in like 5 hours into Palworld last night, at it's current state it does have an end point, so it makes sense that people reached cap, caught everything and put it down for now.

You were asked multiple times to clarify your arguments. You refused and then departed from your original statements to make new ones once your points were beaten down.
And that changes my post how exactly? Again you are under this notion that I have been shitting on Palworld and that has been 100% wrong.

I haven't read this thread, but Wings has a point about EFNY. He's correct. I still enjoy MGS though.
Since only from below can one better see the heights.

Except his point has to ignore Snake as a character in MGS to make it work. It also ignores any differences between the two works.

You literally entered this topic saying that it will always be a meme game, that it is nonexistent in its creativity, and that the developers are dishonest. Shitting not only on the game, but the people who made it. Real smooth.

Asherlee10 posted...
When I hopped into Palworld the first time (without really knowing anything about it), first thing I thought was, "Damn this is so similar Ark Survival Evolved's leveling system, technology, and crafting."

And the devs mention that's their largest inspiration.
Yeah, it's basically [accessible] Ark with Pokemon, rather than the meme 'Pokemon with guns'. Things you can gather for crafting literally sparkle, and the game lays out obvious places for bases which often include most of those things.

It's really funny for you to say this considering you are going out of your way to ignore the differences between Palworld and Pokemon.

Thats not me shitting on it its me telling the truth because the fact that its word of mouth has been Pokmon with Guns and constantly compared to Pokmon means that its identity if just fucked. And given how the game looks the creativity to it is nonexistent because all its assets dont match.

Only if you're being dishonest and ignoring how people are also comparing it to Factorio/Satisfactory and ARK.

Sadly the only way to hit them the hardest is to basically get a concept good enough that it can also rival toy and media sales as a whole.

No people are making those comparisons too but the bulk of the points being brought up most of the time are Pokmon related which again is its biggest detriment and strength to Palworld.

You can't be serious. You've spent this entire topic shitting on Palworld because the monsters look too much like Pokemon and you think that should diminish the actual quality of the game. You are a pokemon fanboy and acting like a child about it.
Because you choose to interpret it that way. Again I could give less of a shit if it took inspiration from it to form their own identity with it but the problem is that in some creature designs it takes TOO much inspiration to be close to exact clones of Pokmon and many people can see that.

State all you want its a legit criticism on the game as a whole. Like it doesnt even take long to deconstruct a screen shot to see that the game is kind of all over the place.

Let's take a walk down memory lane and you let me know how we should interpret these remarks about the game. These are from just the first 3 pages.

misleading game

Baha05 posted...

you can see the level of dishonesty from the developers.

Baha05 posted...

Because if the developers cared about originality there wouldnt be any controversy surrounding them, it in some cases that may come at the cost of sales.

Baha05 posted...

Palworld has an identity issue to say the least because of how blatant that inspiration is in that case. Coupled with the whole guns thing and survival crafting and while you can have a fun game for sure you have a weird clash of different things into one pile.


damn

Which again is more being critical about the game on that level of what the game is versus just outright saying its a shitty game and no one can enjoy it.
"He may be Mr. Clean, but his soul will always be dirty!"
the thread has gone full dumb
There's a time and place for everything... but not now.
This is the part where I start checking my house for hidden cameras because I'm beginning to suspect I'm getting recorded for my reactions to this mental laxative of a topic.
