I don't believe Nintendo will hold up in court.

But it's the combination of it all, aside from guns and concentration camp levels of slavery, that make it look like they straight up copied ideas from Pokemon.

It's true Nintendo doesn't hold the specific style or gameplay mechanics, and that's where I think they'll fail to win a case, but just saying it's just so blatantly obvious where the inspiration comes from.

Oh my god I almost believed I was the only one on earth that thought this about the sequels and TLJ and TROS specifically. To the point I couldn't even mention it in any SW discussions because people would just dogpile on how much they hated people actually enjoying TLJ, or for just thinking TLJ is the best of the three movies.

It felt a lot like JJ Abrams gave Rian Johnson such a hard time by ending TFA on a cliffhanger (quite literally lol). Which basically gave Rian no wiggle room to do anything like a time jump or whatsoever at the start of the movie. It looks so much like Rian tried to salvage what JJ had started and then JJ came back to just backspace everything Rian had set up.

I had always kind of hoped that the Skywalker saga would be 9 movies of 3 trilogies and a 10th finale movie to wrap up the entire saga to an epic conclusion, probably would've been better, but I'm unsure if Disney would've been able to pull it off anyway.

The overall idea of the sequels seemed alright, despite characters being shoehorned in for the sake of fan-service unnecessarily. Like the force dyad, knights of Ren and Palpatine having a post-death scenario using the clones. But all of that felt like quite unsatisfactory executions and never really wrapped up, like "yeah Snoke was a clone experiment, we have many of them", as if that was sufficient information and then proceed to never ever mention it again lol

Reminds me of the meme of someone making a website with AI and then said to a bro his programming days were over.

And then proceeds to send the localhost address to the guy.

It took a while to catch up

I think it's understandable why they sue them (I doubt it holds up in court though), it's just horrible business practice because Nintendo is too lazy to actually innovate and do something creative for a change, instead of sitting on franchises like that and do fuck all with it, only releasing repetitive piss-poor games based on the exact same concept they invented like 30+ years ago.

The problem is people will still buy Pokemon, even if they're absolute garbage games. So Nintendo won't change it either.

I played it and I felt like it borrowed a lot of elements from Pokemon. It wasn't Pokemon, but you can't deny it took like 90% of their inspiration from Pokemon and then added guns to it.

Well statistically speaking like only 1% of their peak player count at launch was still playing the game.

It doesn't do bad on the top ranking out of all games on Steam, but it didn't do great anymore either.

I didn't have any real problems with the actual story of the Acolyte, but what did put me off most was the insane pacing and strange edits in that show, there was rarely a moment of rest to give viewers time to let stuff sink in. Some episodes also cut-off very suddenly to a credit roll, it was just jarring. And a lot of scenes felt like they were supposed to be a lot longer and could've benefitted from a lot more dialogue.

I'm unsure why they did so, because most episode could've easily been like 20-30 minutes longer to make at least 1 hour episodes. I think they might've cut a lot and saved it for either flashbacks in a potential second season (especially the Qimir stuff) or decided they wanted to change it later.

The whole editing and pacing reminds me a lot of Rise of Skywalker, the entire movie felt like they crammed 2 or even 3 movies into one.

Getting flashbacks to the Acolyte reviewbombs dropping before the episodes even aired.

Good to see some OG aliens in there, Disney kept adding almost exclusively new aliens and then only use those for a lot of their stuff.

I only played it like 2 months ago on my PS5. It was a discount to €50 but I'd say full price would still be totally worth it.

The quality of the game, gameplay and story far surpasses that of many others, 2 years does not degrade the quality of the game.

I'd rather pay €60 for this than €70 for Astro Bot.
