Exactly!

Point is that none of them are the scale of Pokemon now, which still isn’t even that big. While a new DQ, FF or WoWis relatively huge in scale, and therefor much harder to copy. All attempts (if you can even call them that) seem half assed in regards to Pokemon, unlike WoW clones or GTA clones which are decent…

Game Freak had over 80 employees working on X and Y, none of these are even close in budget. Big pretty much means budget; development costs and marketing. I haven’t even heard of some of these games, while say Watch Dogs and EQ have been heavily marketed.

Please do name these big games that are very similar to Pokemon as much as a lot of MMO’s are very similar to WoW or how Dragon Quest Builders is similar to Minecraft or Watchdogs is similar to GTA. I’m drawing a blank still.

Could you name a few examples of big Pokemon clones? I’m honestly drawing a blank. I don’t own a Nintendo console anymore though so there I can see that Pokemon would always be the preferred choice, but I don’t understand why Square, Sony etc have never bothered.

Exactly, a lot of games that have the same elements, but there’s no big Pokemon clones similar to WoW clones that pretty much copy the whole concept.

It’s why I mentioned the gameplay comparison as it’s not an aspect that’s hard to copy. It seems perfectly replicable by a big (non-mobile) gaming company to me. I don’t really think it’s lightning in a jar in that it’s gameplay elements (collecting pokemon in a jrpg fashion) are simply fun and addicting.

Always makes me wonder why there’s so few rip offs from other big companies. It’s not like the gameplay is as refined as a Mario game.

If someone coming at you isn’t shooting, he’s likely charging an attack. If you didn’t see it coming you aren’t using the third person view to your advantage enough. Just a tap of circle in ANY direction is enough to escape a charged attack unlike pretty much any other attacks where you have to roll away from the…

Just don’t revive when it’s too risky. It’s simply a risk reward thing, your choice. I’ve had multiple matches with double digit revives and they made the difference between losing games and winning games. Revive Packs + Cintamani Stones ftw :)

That anyone saying HL3 is going to happen is full of shit (like an ass)?

Just picture the rest of the lines.

Actually, they don’t know. Haven’t you played AC:Unity? ;)

I wonder how many actually tried though. It’s like one of those obscure Guinness World Records where noone would even think there would be a world record for.

Refusal to accept people to play on Xbox One and PC? What? Please read the original statement again:

Adamant about Steambox? I’m a PC Master Race person? I couldn’t care less if Valve went bankrupt today... Are you resorting to personal insults because you can’t respond to my actual arguments? You can also just agree to disagree without the name calling if you don’t want to actually respond to my arguments...

Because pc copies are cheaper to begin with. Buying a console just so you can get a game twice for the price of one? Why not just buy a Steambox instead then? Or just play on your pc and not buy an Xbox One at all? I can’t see anything other than this decreasing the Xbox One sales, with the Xbox One now being a…

And I know a ton of people who will now sell their Xbox One or not purchase one anymore and plan on getting a gaming rig and/or PS4 instead.

The effects of core gamers speaking of Xbox One as a mere cheap underpowered pc can be very big though. Despite people mostly buying 3rd party, just knowing their console can run ‘some unique games’ is something you can’t just downplay. We don’t know the actual impact things like always online had on X1 sales to the…

Making more of your exclusives available for pc = more potential Xbox One sales?
