I continue to stand by my assessment that-thus far-this continues to look a whole lot like Anthem but if it wasn’t as half-baked.

Gameplay that requires that much explanation has just gotta be good.
You can just tell.
two half baked games make a full one
whoa this is really good, thanks for the rec
Retro City Rampage had like one amazing part right at the very end in this Bomberman set piece (if I’m remembering it correctly) and some bullshit they wrapped up as jokes (iffy escort mission path finding that they apologize for stands out) peppered throughout the rest. I had been following that project for years so it hurt when it was kind of a letdown.
I didn’t check out Shakedown Hawaii, but it’s better?

It is better, yeah. If Retro City Rampage was an NES homage Shakedown Hawaii is an SNES homage, for all that implies. Structurally it’s similar but everything is just better: the controls, the story, the graphics, the stuff you do. It’s got lots of little challenge missions you can do that score you and put it up on a leaderboard for all your friends to see.
It’s the game you wanted Retro City Rampage to be.

I’m sick of everything related to Palworld. Pocketpair is obviously trying to play a victim here but they have to admit they flew too close to the sun.

I mean Palworld is a crass, cheap, ill intentioned, and mediocre little cash in. But I still think it sucks that Nintendo can somehow patent game mechanics as broad as riding on monsters. That’s an awful legal precedent to set.

Yeah the situation with game design patents is pretty fucked. The patents themselves are insanely vague and selectively enforced as in the Palworld case. There are many games that could also arguably infringe on the patents around pulling a mount out of an inventory or using a round device to capture a creature but few threaten Nintendo’s market enough.
