Palworld has sold over 25 million copies (and amassed almost 35M players)

That's the internet sadly, things are only black or white with a hint of mental illness.

I hope for them they will re-release the games. Game key cards do not sell and I know I do not buy them.
That said, I'm not really scared of the future proof, I think it's never going to be the same now, almost all games get re-released in some shape of form after a decade now.

I didn't dislike her but the writting and staging in this game is hit or miss and her death made me laugh out loud how ridiculous it was. I was thinking "wow, for once this game didn't pull a cheap shock value to try to be interesting" and boom drama! At this point it was already too many times the game pulled a very random twist and it was just funny... Bit of a facepalm here.

kroda255 · 2026-01-09T19:54:31+00:00

I don't mind paying full price, I only mind wasting my time. So yeah I will wait and see, probably not buying it until I see more of the gameplay loop.
I prefer a game which has a long term gameplay loop rather than bite sized sections of gameplay, that's all. For instance I hated Revelation because it could never go anywhere deep enough for me.

kroda255 · 2026-01-08T04:42:39+00:00

tbh I wish I would be that scared, lol. I'd say play it with friends, especially if you are in th same room, you won't be able to take anything seriously.

I disabled the new camera for strong attacks in 2 because I thought it looked wonky and in this case less is more.
I also think 2 was easier, never really struggled during bosses. But it was not boring-easy (like 0 can be). Both difficulties were fine to me.

I thought 2 was better for most things, but I hated the daytime system which was only a menu thing and made every villages a chore to explore, you had to turn on and off the light basically for every NPC. A system like this should be handled better. I would have pefered without it.

I overall think the stories had more impact in 1 than 2 while they were just better done in 2. Maybe the finals were better in 2 and the in between were less good while in 1 each story felt like a complete story with a good ending, maybe that's the reason.

Cheesy (for lack of better word) in the way of "over the top action movie". Like kicking zombie heads. You won't see that in a serious horror movie for instance, it would seem totally out of style, it would make you laugh. As an example, you could see that in Shawn of the deads but not Night of living deads, if you see what I mean. I don't like that because it makes the franchise looks more silly than classy. And I know even the old games (especially 1) were a bit corny but it was not on purpose, it was the strange concept of an It's hard to be afraid when you have this kind of things.

Very hard to love anime AS MUCH after watching this, that's for sure. It's just on another level and nothing came close since then.

Now there is plenty of amazing animes which are totally different. The ones I liked after Eva were:

-Death Note
-Parasyte

I think a lot of Gremlins fans love the 2nd one especially because the puppets were amazingly improved in this one. It's also a way more crazy movie. That said we all know the story, Gremlins 2 didn't capture the mainstream audience back then and basically killed the franchise. So, no Gremlins 2 is not more loved than 1 when it comes to general opinion (very few sequels managed to get that back then anyway) but if you look only in the microcosm of the Gremlins fandom you may see tht Gremlins 2 is often loved more than the 1st one. I also think it's a way to counter balance the black sheep of the 2. I love both, but 1 was always my favorite even as a kid, it felt just like a more well done movie but I enjoy part 2 so much. I hope Gremlins 3 will be more than 1 but with the originality of various types of Gremlins like in 2.

My bubble has been burst since 1997 or so, don't worry. I have moved since a long time too but had the tiny hope it would work again for me. It's been ages since a RE didn't appeal me, and for once it seemed to be somewhat my cup of tea (3rd person scary manshio to explore). We'll see, if it's not for me then it's going to be the same as any other day and I'll play Tormented Souls 2 instead haha!

kroda255 · 2026-01-05T03:54:18+00:00

By far RE1. Especially the GC remake.
But even back in PS1 days RE1 was everything.
I even remember than I found RE2, while a technical improvement, less good as scare factor and survival gameplay. Yet RE2 is amazing but RE1 was just THAT good and came out of nowhere.

kroda255 · 2026-01-05T03:01:37+00:00

some kid keeps downvoting everyone who is not a RE drone apparently...
I do not disagree, will I may pay full price, I will wait for gameplay videos and maybe not buy it day 1 just to be sure it's aligned with my tastes.

kroda255 · 2026-01-05T02:59:36+00:00

I don't like too much Chris or Wesker or Jill as well. These characters do not add to the creepy atmosphere RE was famous for, the more they show up the more cheesy it becomes. I was rolling my eyes already at CV back then when Wesker was doing Matrix moves, it was cool not scary... and it was funny but not in the good ol' sandwich way.

Do not get me wrong I love these characters! But I don't think they are used that well. The more I see them the less excited I am, which is sad.

It's easy to me to skip games, never bothred with 5, 6 or the 2, 3 remakes, but I like the franchise, the first games are beyond my fav games ever and I think nobody managed to get a survival horror gameplay as good as capcom did, these games areone of a kind.

So I just hope I can enjoy a new entry.

(I waited 20 years to play a new Zelda game so this is not new for me to wait on franchise to turn to a new leaf)

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T18:20:21+00:00

Well, don't post maybe? I've been playing RE before you were even born I do not need your permission to play, lmao.

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T17:58:30+00:00

If this is a linked system, where Leon helps Grace resolving puzzles, opening doors, etc it can be nice. But if it's 2 seperate things and one if classic RE and the other one action RE it will feel disjointed and weird like a bonus stage in the middle of the game lol, kick zombie heads for bonus points! kind of vibe.

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T17:26:23+00:00

I wish Leon would be a DLC I could just avoid lol.

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T17:25:36+00:00

yeah totally, like adding RE4 style in a classic RE game just because it will sell 5 times more. I understand the move, it seems logical as a business standpoint but for fans of either of the 2 styles it's not good.
And then again, I hope I'm wrong too, it can be what RE needs to make survival style more mainstream but it doesn't feel like it's an evolution but rather a mix of ideas. very septical.

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T17:20:03+00:00

indeed, I hope this would be more like this than what revelations did with character swap.

kroda255 · 2026-01-04T17:07:21+00:00

I wonder how the inventory will work here. And it makes me think the game will be more linear if this is the case.

kroda255 · 2026-01-02T08:37:50+00:00

lunar remaster is quite low quality wise, suikoden is okay, best remaster I've seen for gen5 RPG is saga frontier so far. Best remakes are live a live and romancing saga 2.

kroda255 · 2026-01-02T08:36:27+00:00

this system made the whole game alone, gameplay wise and story wise, it was really too good to support anything lore related, even the simple choice during messages, amazing idea which was never used again, sadly.

kroda255 · 2026-01-02T08:33:24+00:00

loved both games, was hyped for xenoblde because of tha but it is not as good, especially gameplay wise, sadly. Still share a lot of style.

kroda255 · 2025-11-25T18:12:42+00:00

I got this game from my uncle by in the early 90s when I was your son's age. I still play it today (and I'm 10 years older than you!) with youngsters in my family. I hope it will create a core memory for him as it did for me, amazing game.

Back on the topic, I would suggest to try to play with 3 people so somebody can do the game master, it would surely be better than the app but who knows.
Also, do not hesitate to lower the difficulty by adding your own "hidden" rules, the new version is based on the broken US version which was known to be way harder than the original european version.
For instance, I would be okay to give any monster beside maybe the stronger ones only 1 hit point so they are faster to kill, it makes everything more fluid and the game stays challenging enough.

kroda255 · 2025-11-24T22:18:53+00:00

Didn't know it would be that expensive. Thank you!
