I need more games to play... Twitter : @PBandgamely IG : @pbandgamely TikTok: @pbandgamely I LIVE for you if you enjoyed this video. xx #paralives #lifesimulation #lifesim
I've also seen people complain about the gameplay video, saying it didn't have enough depth, whereas the developers stated right at the start of the video that it was still a work in progress and that it was an overview .
FR!! i blame the fact that most simmers know nothing about game design and arent involved in any other games, meaning theye never really seen other games be developed b4 or followed a games development. This means they cant tell the dif between a scam and the real thing. Also, most simmers thought this was a scam bc it was 'too good to be true'. The truth is, theyve just been scammed their whole lives by EA, so now that they're actually getting what we deserve, they think it's not possible. (Especially since EA has been saying this stuff is 'impossible to implement' whenever simmers ask why we dont have core features.) Same thing with expansions. TLDR; simmers are brainwashed and stuck in their EA Sims bubble. This video really voiced all my frustration with the sim community's "concerns" with Paralives. These mfs be so dumb it pisses me off 💀
No one is cooked,it still looks mediocre.the characters look worse than the sims 3.the animations look horrible and stiff and lifeless.it seems like its gonna be way more basic than the sims 4,im not that desperate to play something different from the sims just to be different.a game thats charges nothing makes no sense
@@holy9781 Mediocre and a scam a world of a different bud so your definitely cooked Your fine to feel that way doesn't make it a scam because you don't understand how game development works.
@@holy9781i get this is bait and you are free to your own opinions. i will say the animations are very well done and i personally wouldn’t say they are stiff. i even think more stiffness or lower frame rate would add to the art style but anyway. there are many free games that have done amazingly, but this game isn’t going to be free. it’s probably going to be about the same price as a sims game. the updates will be free, like stardew valley and many other games have done. the whole point of it is you won’t really needs dlcs because the game will feel fleshed out enough alone.
I liked the gameplay overview. It had a lot of interesting ideas. The only thing I side-eyed was the job ranking system because I think it is too easy to get more money, I wish they would space the salary increase rewards between more ranks. From the way the together cards work, I’m getting the vibe that there is a sense of autonomy with the parafolk and that they don’t need to be micromanaged which I think would be great for rotational gameplay. I’m still kind of skeptical but I would pick this on early access if they continue being transparent the way they have been to this day. I think the reaction to the free DLC is dumb. I don’t think Paralives will implement huge expansions but rather quality of life updates like similar indie games using the same model. If everything comes with the base game that is essential for life sims, then there is not much dlc to monetise on the way EA did like separating pets and weather into packs.
I have a feeling that they will tweak the amount raised and you can't upgrade every working day (perhaps if you go to work with poor mood you can't a perk?) But overall I like the career mechanic in general.
I had some questions about the job ranks as well. It does look pretty easy at first glance. But we’ll have to see what the games economy will look like because we never know. The pay we see could be pennies compared to the world’s cost of living. The reaction to the free updates was honestly so dumb. I get the concern but plenty of games have done this before. Some of those indie games are household names at this point. I’m confused on where the confusion is coming from? 😂
@@PandaBaeYT the only point of reference to them was the Sims and that's why the reaction to free DLC is as such because this is so foreign to them. People need to really step out of the Sims realm and realise whatever Sims is doing is not the norm.
Exactly, just shut up and take my money, Paralives! Overall I think the mechanics are very well thought out and allows room for add-ons later in the game, which is what Sims 2 did in its gameplay features. From the personality, career, skills and social interactions, they are so good! Okay I admit I was one of those people who are "concerned" they can't make enough money for making DLC free. Thinking back that they can keep Patreon active after release, selling merch and having less mouths to feed, they are going to be fine without asking us to pay for updates.
I have a feeling if a game mechanic is possible to do, it’ll be done with so much detail. I’m honestly so excited for fresh minds to change what life simulation could look like. I really do think they will be able to stay a float with out dlc. Many games have done it in the past and plenty are still thriving today. And who am I to argue about free content? 😂
You always make such great updates/videos! I am honestly excited for paralives after the trailer and what not. This game seems like it has come a long way, and i think it looks beautiful!
The game looks so amazing. It’s crazy to see how far the game has evolved over time. Awe thank you 🥹 I absolutely adore your videos. It’s mean so much that you enjoy these videos 💜
Did they start developing this game in 2019? That is surprising if it is true, considering they hope to give early access sometime after the beginning of 2025.
No, just because it's dated doesn't mean it's ugly, and you'll just have to get used to it, because it's thanks to the artistic style that paras don't look the same.
I believe the trailer is staged, each shot was specifically set up, not a single shot was longer than a few seconds, and 90% of it was just story and animations. Probably cuz it's in such a crazy early state, the game's prototype literally only exists since September iirc. I believe they simply can't yet show 2 minutes only gameplay without cuts
I think that’s fine though given how far they are in development in contrast to what their goal is. Given how transparent the team is about the bugs and glitches in the game and their achievements in development, the fact that they have something to show (even if it is stitched together) is a good sign of progress, especially since nowadays, a lot of game companies do more artistic, cinematic trailers and reveals rather than ones that focus on gameplay mechanics. I’m hoping they do a full livestream for an hour or so of the game play in the weeks leading up to early access.
I'm just afraid that a lot of people think this is real progress, that all these mechanics are implemented already and the game is playable... I wish they'd have said in the video how far they are with implementing these mechanics, so that people who don't follow their progress very, very, very closely don't get a wrong picture of their actual progress
@@Thyana-ig5no the fear is valid. We’ve been burned by gaming companies before. But the team is transparent with their progress. Their development roadmap shows that some of these features aren’t complete like the group actions. I do agree that maybe they could be more specific in video but the information is publicly available. They could be lying but that would harm them as a new, small studio more than it would potential consumers
Maybe just too high expectations on trailers. Yes - Sims 4 has bad trailers, but I'm not used to Sims 4. There are a lot of games which show actual, unfinished material of their games, or even provide tech demos. Even the demos from the Steam Next Festival are often very rough. LBY has rough videos as well. This is the kind of transparency I'd love to see from Paralives, especially since they write transparency on their flags. A collage of set-up scenes like this one is, well, okay, and can be problematic when it's potentially misleading. Because a lot of people do think this is actual progress, that you can actually right now as dev can just let the game run and it can lead to such a story. Even tho i should have known it better, i thought so too for their old videos. Remember the video where a para slides down on a roof and jumps from there into a pool - they did that video when they didnt even have the sitting animation ready. And THIS is, what was shocking me in the aftermath. It seems ALL(?) their videos are supposed to tell a dream of a potentially finished game, but they have quite little to do with their actual progress
The characters lowkey look dated/ugly. I hope there's more modernized options for clothing, hair etc. Settling for Paralives and its childish art style since Life By You is a mess, no updates on Inzoi, Vivaland has a long way to go before we can see Live Mode...😭
I think it's good that there are different art styles. Not every game has to look the same. Some people prefer realistic like you and others prefer cartoony like myself. There should be variations.
I've also seen people complain about the gameplay video, saying it didn't have enough depth, whereas the developers stated right at the start of the video that it was still a work in progress and that it was an overview .
if people thought paralives was a scam theyre cooked
I’ve seen so many switch ups after the reveal. I’m just like “oh now you think it’s real?” I mean, they’re entitled to their opinions right? 🤣

I think I’ve seen variations of this comment everywhere. I’m sure they’ll tweak some of the job stuff, that’s the main thing people are iffy about.

@@westanimesims One simple way to balance is when the second option you gain less money or not money at all. What make you chose more meaning

@@PandaBaeYT oh wow thank you so much as well 🥺💚
I was a bit iffi on buying another life sim but this video Convinced me exsaly the free dlcs. I'm so hyped
Yes exactly! I don’t understand how I’m going wait until 2025 but I guess you and I both will just have to find out 😂
I need to see the negative interactions, like can they fight each other?
Yes will have
I was waiting for your video about it! 😄
I had to talk about this. Waited 5 years for this one reveal. To know you were looking for my take makes this entire video worth it 💜
Did they start developing this game in 2019? That is surprising if it is true, considering they hope to give early access sometime after the beginning of 2025.
5:53 How did you find an instrumental version of this song. I've searched for it on CZcams but i can't find it anywhere.
FOR THE ALGORITHM!
i just hope theyll let us mod the game lol
The game was built to be fully mod compatible! This way it's even easier for developers to implement new things
the style of paralives looks like a dating game
No, just because it's dated doesn't mean it's ugly, and you'll just have to get used to it, because it's thanks to the artistic style that paras don't look the same.
but it's not a gameplay reveal why are you lying to your audience?
