Message: [QUOTE="dropsmegamega, post: 29125, member: 780"] What are you talking about, people already have gave you plenty of examples, from artstyle to music to narrative structure and several other decisions. Even if the Earthbound-like label means nothing to you personally, it is a thing that exists and wasn't created by Gorse or me, its there and you can search for one right now on google, people are discussing it and easily identifying aspects borrowed from Earthbound. And Indie developers often choose one of these labels when producing their games and make then accordingly. And no, the parentheses is not a silly thing to say because at the end of the day your argument is that the game is unique enough, and that's fine, but I am sure people that buy the yearly open world ubi game also feel like that about their games. You say I think things as a binary, but then use the typical argument "everything takes inspiration on something else nothing is truly original" to defend games being extremely derivative. It's simply not the same. But who defines what are superficial similarities? If someone where to remake a game identically only changing its combat from action to turn based I am not allowed to say its derivative anymore? I've played both Earthbound and Undertale and no essay could make me change my opinion on its derivativeness. Is there other influences? Sure. Just the fact it was released several years after it will naturally change its influences. But at the end of the day its the EB of its time. And honestly what else can I say? Maybe to you these typical games that flood the new & trending section of steam's main page are all unique and interesting experiences. I in all honesty could never agree with that, so this discussion goes nowhere. [/QUOTE]
