1) What do you do in this game
2) Why the hell is he looking at me like this?

hes just happy to piny pinata happy gardne candy horse time

It's a farming/breeding simulator (no joke). It's way more fun than it has any right to be, and the game itself has about 1% in common with the franchise it tried to kick off. What I mean by that is, in all the media, the pinatas are sentient and speak, and have little personalities. In game though, they're just animals, not characters, and you can kill them, breed them, make special colors of them, etc. He's looking at you like that because he wants to grape you.

>>719215147 (OP)
Viva Pinata is about pinatas, taming, breeding, raising and farming.
You start off with an old neglected farm surrounded by wild pinatas. You improve the farm, meet the conditions for wild pinatas to self domesticate and fill requests for specific pinatas at birthday parties (dont worry they come back alive I think).
Occasionally corrupted pinatas appear and you have to do some dumb shit to cleanse them and they can then be tamed after more requirements.

IDK what the second game is like, never played that one. Shame we dont have a modern game like it.

It's baffling that there's no indie copy of this game.

IT'S PARTY TIME

Really? Youtube algorithm speak?

>>719215147 (OP)
what's the closest thing we have to a spiritual successor aside from return to paradise? I would sacrifice my first born for a new game or make my own bootleg at this point.

>IDK what the second game is like, never played that one.
it's more of the same and new pinatas but you can catch desert and arctic theme'd pinatas and a few things were changed around.

>>719218241
Theres really not much. Slime rancher games? Really there isnt anything else afaik.

>>719218241
There's a fan game in the works but don't expect it to be finished soon

>>719215147 (OP)

hasn't this shit been in development since like 2017?
>unapologetically using Willy, Costolot, Fannie, and Petula's sprites
>using comic sans instead of pigpen five for the ui
I don't have much faith in it much less the game's store page lasting the next 6 months unless they change it. Could they not get the rights to the font or is it just stuck in development hell?

The goal is to unlock everything and get the dragon pinata

it's bewildering that the sequel still hasn't gotten an PC release
fucking rare

Beat the fuck out of Seedos
Water Leafos

>>719222870
pc port probably didnt do as well as the console version, especially since people hated gfwl

you know like in gachagames you spend money to get more characters

well sonny in this game you actually just play the game

>>719215147 (OP)
Crazy that Microsoft let this series die and has done nothing with it since

>1) What do you do in this game
Raise pinatas and smash them to get rewards, creating the right conditions evolved the pinatas into greater variants and unlocked rare pinatas, it was basically a monster raising management sim.

>2) Why the hell is he looking at me like this?
Stop being weird

>Crazy that Microsoft let this series die
it had 4 fucking games and a tv show

>>719227920
Isn't the studio forced into making sea of thieves (and they're happy about it supposedly) and whatever Xbox is doing since a large portion of Microsoft's companies got shafted/merged or something? I doubt they'd even try a new remaster.

>>719215147 (OP)
WHATEVER YOU DO
DON'T LISTEN TO THIS BITCH

>>719228775
Why?

this game was fucking kino
needs a port and the sequel

EAT THE FRUITS

AH SHIT NOW IT'S ALL SPOILED

>>719229074
It emulates well enough. Theres some issues occasionally but works. Not tried the second. Shame thats the best we can get.

>>719215147 (OP)
the main appeal are the secrets for me. play it blind, figure out how it all works. discover optimizations, collect all the things, go in with a plan some days and just change everything. also, wonderful music, i still listen to it occasionally. i love this game. its pretty relaxing and has good enough progression that you usually have something else you want to accomplish.
the sequel is a clusterfuck. it was designed with prior knowledge in mind, but then it reintroduces everything you already learned with a cutscene every 3 seconds. its a godawful sequel. try to go even 10 seconds without your screen filling up with popups and alerts, i don't know what they were thinking. i tried multiplayer once and it was extremely stressful, like they treated multiplayer like a pve game. biome farms? i didn't really like that but maybe there are some perks. i haven't bothered playing it very much, i always get so annoyed playing it

>>719220623
how is that legally distinct? that is literally costolot, her design and name and artstyle. i don't actually care about that but i assume its not going to be a new experience, just a shameless copy
>Planned Release Date: To be announced

>>719229297
oh, its a fangame. i assume it will be free if it ever does release so thats pretty cool

>>719228454
They were working on Everwild but that went up in flames after being in development hell for so long
The point is, if Rare doesn't want to make a new Viva Pinata who is Microsoft gonna get?

>>719221597
Apparently Microsoft is cool with fangames as long as all the assets are made from the ground up

>>719217714
This wasn't the worst cartoon, I remember a few episodes. The whole thing is on youtube.

Dude how the fuck do you even play Viva Pinata on PC nowadays? I remember I tried playing it and couldn't save the game due to Windows Live fuckery that no longer exists. I also noticed it immediately started running like shit, which may have been due to the game having incompatibility with modern hardware.

Just curious how you guys are playing it on PC, if you are. I'd really like to revisit the game without digging out my fucking Xbox for it.

>How would Langston punish Hudson if the Horstachio devoured Beverly Badgesicle voraciously like how Fergy devoured Candice the chocolate Bunnycomb?

>Here's the scenario. One night, Hudson becomes the one to stalk Beverly back, not for love, but for food, like a predator, he reaches her home, and tricks the Badgesicle into thinking he's finally fallen for her, then immediately devours Beverly, who screams for help, but is then silenced for good.

>The next day, Hudson arrives at the Cannonata to go to another one of his parties, but then the Candiosity meter catches a pinata inside his stomach, which horrifies every pinata in line, as well as Langston.

>So what punishment do YOU guys think Langston could give Hudson after eating his biggest fan?

>Comment your answers below, I'll be all ears on anything.
