Re: Palworld Distances Itself from Pokémon Patent with Recent Update Amid Nintendo Lawsuit

RubyCarbuncle

I remember when Pokèmon launched because I've been playing them since then. Over the years the bigger they became the more arrogant they became, too big for their boots and complacent. Now I know they'll very likely win the Lawsuit but I hope in the long run it really hurts them and the Pokèmon Company which in turn forces them to make much better games instead of the mediocre garbage we've been getting for years.

It's a shame it took a Playthrough of this game to make me realise just how bad and how stagnated Pokèmon has become but it is what it is.

@T-Bone09 I haven't been on Twitter since March so I can't link you to anything now but I'm telling you I was seeing Right Wing content from people expressing extremist views towards immigration and I was also seeing quite a lot of bigotry too. I don't think that's protecting free speech. If you can prove this isn't an issue on Twitter however I'd appreciate it.

Re: Feature: Liam's PS1 Memories

RubyCarbuncle

My first ever PS1 game was a helicopter shooter called Nuclear Strike. It featured live action cutscenes of real actors and I remember being blown away by it at the time. At first I thought the PlayStation was just going to be a novelty and things would go back to the Sega vs Nintendo thing yet here we are 30 years later.

Re: Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Want to Stop the Sale of Palworld

RubyCarbuncle

There are many games that feature creatures being captured in some kind of device and don't get me started on games that feature Mounts. I'm totally convinced had Palworld not received the attention it did then it's very possible Nintendo wouldn't have cared at all.

I'm 100% against Nintendo here. If they win the ramifications going forward could be enormous.

Re: Sony Says the Best Time to Get a PS5 Is Now

RubyCarbuncle

As much as I like PlayStation, I've grown up with all PlayStations including PSP PSP Go and Vita I personally don't think it is a particularly good time to pick up a PlayStation. For a start a lot of games that were once exclusive are now on PC which is a good thing but it doesn't make the PS5 a must have like before as a result, it just means people have more of a choice now.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade

@twitchtvpat Kids that say "cash grab"? sorry to disappoint you buddy but I'm 46. I've been gaming long enough to know a cash grab when I see one and this is a cash grab. This generation has just been embarrassing with the amount of Remasters and Remakes and honestly I've reached burn out from all of it. People ask themselves what's happened to game creativity? it's becoming more and more stagnated because of this that's what.

I know 10 isn't much on this occasion nevertheless my point stands. What's coming next? it makes me worry about the future of gaming tbh.

Re: Mini Review: Transformers: Galactic Trials (PS5) - A Nice Idea Gone Awry

RubyCarbuncle

Bummer. Was hoping this game would be better but tbh after I heard about it I had a feeling it was going to be a disappointment. I'm still waiting for a Transformers game to be as good if not better than Devastation and those 2 games on PS3, War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.

Edit: actually the PS2 Transformers game was superb so there's that one too.

Re: Palworld Is Now Available on PS5 in Japan After Delayed Launch

RubyCarbuncle

I definitely did not expect this. Normally I would side with Nintendo but not this time in fact I hope this Lawsuit backfires and hits them hard. What they're doing here is just scummy, it just makes me despise them as a Company even more and I hate saying this because I do like their games.

Being able to file a Patent for something needs to be abolished IMHO.
