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.

what is with all these clowns lately that don't understand GENRES? guess Satisfactory is a direct clone of Factorio right?

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)

Yeah none of that makes it not a MC clone all of those things have been done in MC prior to Vintage Story and making some changes or improvements doesn't change that you can jump back and forth between the two games without issue because they fundamentally are the same.
That doesn't take anything away from Vintage Story but it is 100% just taking Modded Minecraft to the next level.
A game clone doesn't mean it's an exact 1 for 1 copy although those exist just very similar too or heavily inspired by, and since it started as an MC mod, looks and plays like MC how can you say that is doesn't meet that definition.
And those other games that started as mods for games are generally called clones too, i don't see it as a bad thing especially when it is done so well but you can't lie about how it came to be

What an absolute 10 IQ post. No wonder the world is going to heck, people like this exist and are not afraid to let everyone know how low their IQ is. No shame.

Every RPG is a copycat of Final Fantasy because you just kill a bunch of monsters to collect XP to level up and increase your stats

Every FPS is a copycat of Doom because you just run around shooting a bunch of dudes with a gun

Every racing game is a copycat of Gran Turismo because you just drive a car around a track faster than a bunch of other cars

Etc. etc. etc...

Foundry brings a lot to the table that Satisfactory was lacking. I don't know about the rest of you but this fanboi culture is really starting to grate on me. Every game contributes something to whatever genre they are born from, and each advances the overall game theory that brings us so many great games (aside from asset flips, ♥♥♥♥ those guys). I really wish people could stop being such douches about new games that come out and just appreciate them for what they are: works of art and expressions of human ingenuity and creativity.

Just a minor correction the racing one would be Chequered Flag as far as i know that was the first real first person style racing game released about 15 years before the first GT

[Ouch]

everyone going on about them stealing the idea from Satisfactory and here i am loling remembering playing FortressCraft back in 2011 where you think satisfactory got the idea ;) , im just hoping they add some kind of enemy to fight like in FortressCraft Evolved but odds are that be a payed DLC with paradox and another DLC to have turrets to kill them so maybe not a good idea

The store page art is a 1 to 1 copy of Satisfactory's. That is not a genre issue you're being obviously hyperbolic.

More like a perception issue on your part. It actually plays even more different than it looks so yeah shoo cry more, move to next fake drama.

If you're not happy with the game, why are you still here? Go back to Fortnite kid.

[Eoraptor]

If you ask me, the game is more like Fortress Craft, but I think the game is different enough to give it a nice snug place in all of the factory games out there. I personally love it and don't feel it's a copycat, though like any good game it has copied some of the good ideas, while implementing their own new ones.
