>holds the entire action genre back>gains nothing from it
>>735157338They have a right to protect their property though.
>>735157650only if they use it, which they don't.
>>735157650No they do not because “intellectual property” does not exist and even if it did a basic system like enemies remembering things about you should not be considered novel enough to count as property
>>735157876cool it with the anti-semitism
FOR FUCK SAKETHE PATENT ONLY APPLIES IF YOU LITERALLY 1:1 EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE EXISTING NEMESIS SYSTEMTHEY DON'T HAVE A PATENT ON>ENEMIES REMEMBER YOUOR>ENEMIES CAN RANK UP OR DOWNDEVS DON'T USE THE NEMESIS SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S EITHER TOO FUCKING HARD TO BALANCE OR IT JUST DOESN'T SUIT THE GAMEGOD FUCKING DAMN IT
>>735157338Requires you to die. Game is easy mode if you are too good.
>>735158526Stop yelling, nigger
>>735158526>DEVS DON'T USE THE NEMESIS SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S EITHER TOO FUCKING HARD TO BALANCE OR IT JUST DOESN'T SUIT THE GAMEbut everyone liked it in SoW gamedo they hate free money?
>>735157338>kill Lord Poopmog>Mc Scrumbo Shitto will remember that...>kill Mc Scrumbo Shitto>Shitfart, Propeller of Sharts will remember that...It's whatever.
>>735159795Think of everything they had to do to make the game ever work with Nemesis. It's actually pretty niche, off the top of my head only Pikmin and Overlord would benefit from it and Nintendo would never bother doing anything interesting for Pikmin while Overlord is forgotten shovelware that lived through two sequels it didnt even deserve.
>>735157338You do know that nothing is stopping anyone from licensing this, right?
>>735157650No they dont. The only reason all these companies are hording IPs now is because Disney corp managed to bribe the supreme court to rule that its A OKAY to extend IP ownership FOR INFINITY This is all because mickey mouse was due to lapse into public domain. Now all the old abandoned games from the past 30-40 years will be getting horded by greedy publishers who will block EVERYTHING they fucking can so they can squeeze some shekels out of dead names.
>>735158526You don't need to 1:1 copy it to put yourself at risk of getting fucked in half by a frivolous lawsuit that you lose exclusively because you don't have infinite WB money to throw at lawyers. It puts a chilling effect on anything even remotely close to the nemesis system. Void war got squashed by exactly this strategy. GW's whole argument as to why it's IP theft is that they claim to own the concept of big shoulder pads. Obviously they can't own the concept of shoulder armour, but they know you don't have millions of dollars to spend paying Israelis to argue about it on your behalf.
>>735157338What's worth for it if they don't sell or rent it to other companies?
>>735157650Intellectual property is a made up concept though.
((()))
>>735157876>>735161092So is money and stocks and driving licences.Just because something is made up doesn't make it not real.
>>735158526Also because if you so little as try, you get sued into oblivion. 99,9% of the planets population cannot afford a legal battle with a corporation.
>>735158526Its not a question of it being unable to be done, its about the fact that having such a patent at all in the first place will block 99.9% of game developers from trying as even if they are in the right to use their own system they simply do not have the resources necessary to engage in a legal battle against Warner Bros.Even if you are in the right, you will get destroyed by the company because it armed itself specifically to take others down this way, that's is what this copyright claim is.
>>735157338Who can even play these warner bros combat games without getting bored? The nemesis system and FUCKING LORD OF THE RINGS wasn't enough to get me hooked on the mid combat and ubishit world design
>>735157338There's definitely games that would benefit from something like this, but most action games don't need randomly generated enemies, and it was annoying as fuck when you tried to stealth kill a guy and then found out he was immune to stealth kills.
I really enjoyed the 5 minutes introduction cutscene every time you fight an uruk officer.
>>735165808OIMAN FILTHI'M GONNA RIP OFF YOUR DICK AND SHOVE IT ROIGHT UP ME ARSE
>>735157650Patents are the most jewish thing ever.
>>735163168It was fun enough to just swing your sword, and it was great to shoot an ice spell or teleport around or whatever.
