Developers have claimed that Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service has caused a behavioral shift that has led to very few sales on Xbox.
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
CCG writes - "Distant Bloom is a cute game with good lesson about caring for the environment. I like how it has a Little Buddy mode where a another player (ideally much younger) can take control of Kei.Ki’s robotic companion. This title is family friendly and the only moral concern is that the planet they're on is inhabited by a deity-like being. After the credits roll, there are some "after story" missions available to complete. The asking price of $19.99 is reasonable and worth adding to your Wishlist to pick it up on sale. "
NoobFeed editor Ahnaf Tajwar writes - Enotria: The Last Song managed, in large part, to put a breath of fresh air into the Souls-like formula, thanks in no small part to its vibrant world, unique lore, and deep customization options. While not quite hitting the heights reached by titles like Elden Ring or Lies of P, it brings enough new ideas to the table to make it worth playing, especially for fans of Italian folklore or something different.
No one could have predicted this would happen.... oh wait...
Oh really 😯. Can't say I'm surprised.
Wow, really? Never saw that coming...
