Copy cat syndrome

[CookiePounder]

So I guess we're just at a place in time where dev's can't think outside their arena now, and just copy and paste with a new skin from an existing game? What?

Satisfactory > Foundry
Ostriv > Manor Lords

I just can't understand the game developers right now, and why people aren't blacklisting Foundry and Manor Lords for their predecessors which are unequivocally better.

You know winks, I do apologize. You're absolutely right. Was trying to make light of the comments as i do agree with the original post, most games these days do be feeling like copy pasta for a quick buck. Nick, I don't know what you mean by "loud pack".

Please do explain what a "loud Pack" is nick

Or ... why there are wheels with rubber when there are wheels of wood or steel?

I'm going to take a wheel. Spray paint it purple. And call it.... not a wheel but a pheel (for purple wheel) and sell it. And everyone will buy it because it is shiny and new! :) then if you buy the special edition id throw in a couple rocks in the wheel to make noise while you drive and call it a sound track!

Found the tires I wanted at pomps, great! Put in the request for 4 tire service with an alignment. Received an email letting me know they had to be ordered. Not a problem. After confirming to order them, silence. No email letting me know they were in or anything. Reached out the following week asking about them. Here to find out they came in and couldnt even let me know they were in, then proceed to say they don't take appointments. Again that is fine they don't do appointments but if I ordered the tires let me know when they are in. Then told to come in the following day or the day after that. Replied I would be in the very next day right when they opened. Get there to only be told they don't do alignments and asked to come back the following day and drop the truck off for the day. People need their vehicles they don't have all day. That is why people communicate, plan, and sorry MAKE APPOINTMENTS. Or at least state in an email they don't do alignments or the service you request. Needless to say grabbing the tires and going elsewhere for install and alignment. Will never purchase or go to another pomps again.

So let me guess.... you want to buy purple tires from me with the sound pack? :)

My brother in christ would you call Vintage Story a Minecraft Clone as well because it lets you survive in a Voxelbased world, lets you craft in a 3x3 grid and makes you survive out in the wild and from starvation?

The gameplay of the two games are massively different. Minecraft being a full on open canvas for you to let your creativity roam free.

Vintage Story is a heavy survival based game in which you are supposed to survive and thrive over time. Explore, mine ore, adventure for loot and myths deep within the dark rusted world underneath.

Foundry, while it does take some features from other games same as Vintage story, it is at its core a fricking factory game. What more do you want them to do? If they would do it even more different youd probably accuse them of copying Dyson Sphere Program too. There is also another game called Techtonica which is also funny enough similar in idea to Foundry. That being a 3D Factory builder with a full on manipulatable world. Oh but wait, the games look entirely different from one another and they feel entirely different. They also feel entirely different to factorio. Or Satisfactory.

Its almost like devs try to put their own unique spin on things that were already created prior

I didnt come to meme and I only saw the main post.

[Le'Stranger Wuv'Bottom]

Sad state of the gaming industry when there are so many people like you.

Conflating so many things without understanding them individually.

Some only see in black and white.

OP : "Stop liking what I don't like!!111!!!!!!"

Everyone else : "mmmK."

[sandwichlizard]

lets look at another sector of life for example. by this thought process there should only be one fast food burger chain in existence. but wait, there are many. McDonalds, burger king, in and out, 5 guys, sonic, white castle, wendys. just to name a few. burger, fries and a drink all the same schlock. how about theater chains or gas stations or almost anything you can think of. golf courses, hotels, department stores, automobile brands. OH hey ford has cars the rest are knock off copy cats... blah, blah, blah.

if you ever eat at 2 different burger chains or shop a 2 different department stores or have owned more than one brand of automobile, you have no business agreeing with the original post, lest you be a hypocrite. welcome to real life.

my factory games have been satisfactory and automation empire. I may try this one, but of course i have taste buds...

I get your point but bad example really, i love Vintage Story but really it is an MC clone, The whole thing started as Vintagecraft a MC mod but feeling limited by MC they built their own version from the ground up

Many games on their own start out as mods. And I never said that it doesnt have its roots in MC. But it isnt a clone. Literally look at the game in comparison to MC and tell me how it is a fricking clone.

It plays similar but not the same
It has literal windpower that generates based on how strong the wind blows for your windmills. Then it gets turned into rotational power which you use for the mill, autohammer and also grinder.

Then there are the enemies, the horde event mechanic. The storybits that you uncover as you play. You get actual lore based items you can collect and read up on. You can go to the currently first boss inside of the archives and once you defeat it get a whole ass glider which no doesnt work like the elytra but instead like an actual glider you need to get high up with to even use. Not to speak of all the lore in the game in general.

Then the chiseling, last time I checked vanilla minecraft doesnt have that. The domestication of animals takes time. Farming itself is far more indepth than MC. You cant just craft armor up as you wish. Wolves actually attack you.

I can literally go on and on and on but you are straight up capping if you call Vintage Story a Clone, especially nowadays with 1.19 released as its most recent update. Even the combat is being handled entirely different. Your swings hold weight, you can throw spears, you gotta actually aim your bow and arrow proper and also watch your stamina when you use it.

---

Edit: Hell even Ore collection works entirely differently in Vintage story, making you use a prospecting pick or scrounge for bits on the surface till you get there. I played both of these games for far too long to know the difference between an apple tree and a pear tree. Its sad that you dont.

Edit 2: IT HAS FRICKING SEASONS (sorry had to add this lol)
