Wouldn’t want Gamefreak to deviate from the same formulas they’ve had for decades and have never bothered to change, while putting out worse and worse quality games every year.
Comment on Palworld isn’t slowing down, hits 19 million players across Steam and Xbox

Neat. Hopefully it doesn’t corrupt Pokemon into being a survival/builder game.

Yeah could you imagine the horrors of Pokemon changing their core gameplay loop after decades of stagnation? Horrible. Just look at how it ruined Zelda!

Pokémon can’t even shake up enough to figure out what to do with an open world. They took away puzzles and mazes and replaced them with… nothing. Never seen a more boring open world. No events or minigames, nothing to discover along the way, only bland scenery and low draw distance creatures.

BOTW ruined Zelda for people like me who enjoyed the dungeons, unique items and narrative progression of poker games even if it was a great game for open world fans. Pokemon is even further removed from that action-survival gameplay so it’s not hard to see why people would want new games to be similar even if the current formula is stale.
kemsat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah pretty much. BOTW is flat out not a Zelda game. It’s a Zelda skinned game.
kemsat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, basically. Breath of the Wild is the worst Zelda game, mainly because it’s not a Zelda game. I know lots of people like it, but it’s not a Zelda game. Same with Palworld. It’s not a Pokemon game.

Pokemon has barely deviated in almost 30 years, I think it will be fine
kemsat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I can only hope. I’ve already watched Zelda be ruined.

zelda is awesome now what are you talking about. botw was the best zelda ever made and the only one i enjoyed playing, and totk is even better.

It’s their personal preference just like yours. I know, crazy how someone might have the opposite opinion on something.
