6 million? Does anyone actually believe this shit?
>just trust us bro
The math just doesn't add up. I bet the real number is like 200,000, and that's only from Game Pass bombing the traditional video game supply lines.

That's right, keep doubling down like you dumbfricks always do when you're proven wrong.

Leave the cute Owl alone its part of nature!

the videogame industry is a smoldering dumpster fire and moronic racially ambiguous children are throwing heaps of money into the fire to keep it burning as bright and long as possible instead of just letting it die
we have a right to be confused and angry
Ah, how could I have forgotten about this cope:

Tendies really genuinely see the worst in people, which is funny because aren't Nintendo games supposed to be optimistic?

Balding Gate didnt even reach 1 mil? Pathetic
>malder's gate
this legitimately boggles my mind
how is it possible
this game looks so assuredly mediocre and stupid even for a survival crafting game
but compared to an actual good game like elden ring or even tetris, its pure fricking shit
yet its breaking records with how many people are playing it
i really cant comprehend it
what the frick is going on?
you just don't get it
soul
Cute as frick
i grew up watching pokemon
i have 2000 hours in ark survival evolved
this game has 0 appeal to me despite being those two things combined
and im not a nintendo fan
this is either bots or zoomers are incomprehensibly moronic
videogames are by far the most profitable entertainment medium and the most popular entertainment medium among everyone under 35, yet you expect me to believe a fanbase for a tv show that stopped being good 20 years ago is singlehandedly making some bootleg videogame version of that show break records and sell a gazillion copies per day?
pals arent even cool like original pokemon, they look like the soulless shit that nu-pokemon are. and apparently are copied off that (because copying the originals would be way too obvious)
>and im not a nintendo fan
Kek stop pretending homosexual. I can see your seethe from a mile away.
>a fanbase for a tv show
Leave it to Ganker to have morons call the Pokemon fanbase fans of a tv show.
its literally a TV show
if the videogames are so shit then why would they still exist?
i mean shit i would like a good pokemon game if it were about the original 100-150
the rest are garbage
and thats what i see in this game. incohesive character designs that look like shit and convey nothing about what they are or do
SOVL
Holy Soul
excuse me your petting is not helping to craft s-so plese...stop
Do they really do this? Will some of them just come up and pet you?
I wish this was real. still cute tho
no, the pokemon is actually helping craft. notice the crafing speed goes up when it starts the animation
>but compared to an actual good game
Now compare it to the last Pokemon game.
>compared to an actual good game like elden ring
good bait
This is the absolute state of current gayming. Just astroturf your turd with streamers. It's actually hilarious than Ganker calls everything slop but this early access, asset flip, crafting survival garbage is shilled like nothing else.
Turns out Ganker is just as moronic as twitchgays or redditors. Gaming is dead
>this game looks so assuredly mediocre and stupid even for a survival crafting game
>but compared to an actual good game like elden ring
now try comparing it to pokemon and you'll get it
but it has nothing like the original pokemon which are the only ones that really ground the entire concept with some good character designs and soul
maybe its just because i fricking hate these kinds of aimless character designs which is the same reason i gave zero fricks about pokemon the moment they went past gen 2 or whatever
after mewtwo i seemed to forget all about pokemon so quickly despite loving it for a while before. it just got so convoluted and soulless the longer it went on, making more and more pokemon to sell more shit i guess
Because it's fun. No one cares if it's an asset flip chink bootleg, as long as it's a fun game. We're just tired of woke moviegame AAA slop.
you are funding a literal communist country by buying this.
The developers are Japanese though?
The devs aren't from USA
>tendies are now trying to get Ganker to hate this by saying it's a communist thing
Beyond pathetic. Even that fricking mindbroken snoy in the Famitsu thread sounds saner.
Just bought it again
Good
>im fighting woke by giving money to literal chicoms
Chuds are pathetic kek. Keep doing that though when red brigades roll into taiwan on chud money its going to be epic.
I've watched a few extended gameplay videos and while it looks fun for the sake of shits and giggles, fricking around with friends... as a game? It looks like a jack fricking mess. It looks like not only did they cobble it together from Unreal assets, it looks like they also must have straight up bought entire code modules and slapped them together instead of writing any inter connecting systems themselves. It looks aimless every system is basic as frick, the menus are hodgepodges of carbon copy UI elements listen wholesale from other games, and good god does the actual combat lol like a buggy mess of barely functioning animations.
This game has got to be some sort of bizarre psyop or some shit because it doesn't make any sense that this is so popular. It's a fricking meme game. It literally looks just as bad as actual Pokemon.
So what? it's light years more playable than actual Pokemon.
What part of
>It literally looks just as bad as actual Pokemon.
did you not understand? Just because the game it's knocking off is awful doesn't make this mess any better and if you morons are giving it money and publicity just to STICK IT TO THEM TENDIES, you are only proving that you're just as much the tasteless console warring shitpigs that they are.
the nature of a game like this (survival crafting) being so early in development... i mean it guarentees you're going to end up restarting over and over again and by the time the game even has its bugs fixed and is balanced and has a good amount of content you and your friends would just be sick of the restarting and doing the same shit grind over and over again
not to mention my other criticisms ive already posted
and arent people fricking tired of survival crafting games? its always mostly the same shit and it gets really old
nintendies are starved for games
Because you bought into the American narrative that necessarily, good = popular/commercially successful. That's not the case in gaming as it's not in any other sector of existence. At least this might serve as a wake up call for some people.
Elden Ring was a step backwards from DaS3
It's 20 bongs and I've been waiting for Elden Ring to go on sale for years.
im the anon you responded to. i got elden ring for $35 a few weeks ago and have already put 70 hours into it and have had a better time than any AAA game ive played in a decade
and instead of doing any of that you're buying this trash for $10 less?
Yeah pricepoint is still a pretty big thing for me. I waited to get Dark Souls on sale and I loved it. I'm also enjoying Palword, I've got my money's worth from it already so I'm not unhappy.
I'm patient so I'll keep waiting for Elden Ring and I'll get it one day.
it was 33% more for a game thats 100,000% more enjoyable
>a game thats 100,000% more enjoyable
I don't know what the frick you mean by that bro, either I'm enjoying the game or I'm not. I imagine I'd enjoy both for different reasons.
>getting bored in 8 hours vs getting bored in 800 hours
I'm not bored yet, although even if I was I'd be happy enough.
Yeah I don't see myself playing this for a month or anything like that but it was a 20 quid game so that's fine.
meanwhile the $35 game you've been waiting for for 2 years takes an average of 50 hours to beat and thats with probably most players being familiar with this kind of game
just why would you pass that up for... this...
I don't know what else to tell you buddy, we're going around in circles. I think both games are fun for different reasons.
the pricing of video games is weird, I paid $20 for Across the Obelisk which has 3 developers and looks like some shitty flash game but I already have over 80 hours in it,, while there are some games that I paid the same amount for which were made by hundreds of people but that I have barely touched, so technically the former was still a better deal for me.
There's so many games I can play, I basically have no issue waiting until a game drops below $30, that's kind of my upper limit these days.
I still have Sekiro on my backlog honestly so I'm in no rush to play Elden Ring, but I'd like to one day, sure.
Right now I'm playing Palworld though and it's fine. It's not GOTYAY but it's a fun little silly game and that's enough for how much it cost.
>hey dude have you heard about this new game, it's basically pokemon but your pokemons actually work with you
>that sounds awesome I'm going to play it
It doesn't surprise me at all. It's really funny seeing how many people got so mindbroken by how a combination of popular elements is popular that they keep coping in every possible way though.
it just seems like a worse version of ark survival evolved
the only thing it has going for it is novelty and a fresh community
That's really all it is. It's finally a pokemon that isn't turnbased garbage, and a collective dabbing on gamefreak, and nintendo.
ark is a better pokemon game than palworld, it even has pokeballs, they're called cryopods, you just need the extinction map expansion
palworld monsters are designed like nu-pokemon which are shit anyway
and ark + extinction costs the same as palworld
i think palworld has a shit and clashing aesthetic but it's still better than the absolute travesty of ARK.
>but it's still better than the absolute travesty of ARK.
why, because official servers are shit because its an old game and all thats left are tryhards?
what do you think will happen to palworld by the time its "finished' LOL
im talking about the aesthetic only in that post anon
>arks aesthetic is worse than palworld
you Black folk dont have eyeballs
nobody could even run ark until pretty recently
>nobody could even run ark until pretty recently
Isn't there a remake or something of ARK that runs like absolute fricking dog shit?
sorta i guess but it kinda looks better than any other game overall. considering how many different environments there are, how big the map is, how many creatures roam around and there being no load screens it doesnt seem too bad. frick now id buy it if not for it crashing a lot for people even on good hardware supposedly. you guys have made me talk myself into wanting to play ark again
I wonder why they bother when it'll just be abandoned when Ark 2 releases.
This
It sells the idea of pokemon working with you better than Pokemon ever has.
You don't just gather a small gang of battle monkeys, you're putting entire armies of the little bastards together to accomplish something.
Just like. That moment when something comes up to your shit, and a goddamn tidal wave of your dudes come out and fricking obliterate it. That's what this game nails.
The idea that this fricking route 1 shitmon has actually been here the entire time, since day 1, moving things and making your balls, always there, and has probably contributed more than any number if giant frickmonsters.
The fact that when you catch something, it's probably not going to sit in stasis in the box its entire life, it's probably going to actually do something. You don't catch something aimlessly because it's there to check a box, you catch it because it's going to help you.
These are things it nails that pokemon promised the idea of years ago, but never delivered.
It's literally just Ark but with not-Pokemon, and that's exactly what makes it work so well. Pokemon were made to help people since the lore of the first game said it, and back then all you could do with them was cute knee-height bushes. Now a game inspired by Pokemon lets you assign them to keep your base automated as you craft weapons to take on Team Rocket. It really is no surprise that everyone's in love with it, this is basically what people who love the concept of Pokemon have wanted since forever.
Palworld 2 needs to be a grand strategy game where you take over the world.
This is basically all there is too it.
Palworld is the most blatant asset flip with cobbled together UE gameplay modules to have ever slopped, but it offers something pokegays have dreamt about for literal decades.
This success has less to do with Palworlds quality, but more with how little goodwill Pokemon has left and how utterly shite it has become.
People who don’t have switches wanted Pokémon simple as

Sorry for spoiling most of the New World, surprise the king of the pirates is the king of the planet and the One Piece is a one world government that's not corporate control, but the free existence of all the individual chaos open border nations and censorshipless culture sharing brings. The greatest sword is the last one needed to be used, Humanity's true world map is a blueprint, the All Blue is to be made real with it, disease will be no more an inconvenience than age, the sad past will not be hidden in shame, and to truly understand all that as well as what it takes to make it true takes a brave warrior. What's really at the end is a funny story, a Laughtale.
This is close to outselling Pokemon Crystal, by the way.
If you count playerbase, it probably did already with gamepass users
Something is really off about this game. Is it possible there are demons at work here? There’s just something anti-Christian and occult about it…
>nintendogays are now blaming da demons
>tendies turn out to be the christian moralgays who have plagued gaming from the beginning
Another reason to dislike tendies.
People don't have to choose nowadays, they live in a society that enforces certain rules that are unnatural for human beings.
Our current capitalist society incentivates us to collect ideas, emotions andobjects, pokemon satisfies that craving.
Palworld satisfies it better than pokemon.
You're a larping homosexual who's going to hell for being a homosexual ass contrarian
Awaken the satanic panic boomers, they stopped Pokémon so surely they can stop Palworld
What’s the matter? Scared?
Who did it better?

>Is it possible there are demons at work here?
Oy vey, absolutely not. The six million is a completely natural occurrence.
Oy vey the goyims knows!!! SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!
Palworld is inspired by Pokémon which in turn was inspired by Shin Megami Tensei. So yes, they are actual demons, folks.
i can't prove it, but i think this game might eat babies...
People forget about the occult imagery in the original trailer.
well the number 6 million does have significance in israeli kabbalah. the same reason they numbered 6 million for the holocaust
six million in just 4 days? really? when modern game stores can barely sell 2000 games a day?
The Red Cross said that Palworld only sold 288,000 copies. 6 million seems quite high.
I bought like $20K worth of keys
>game stores
What year do you think it is?
I'm fricking crying so hard right now, they can't keep getting away with it. What the frick happened that a literal rip off can beat based Nintendo this easily. I smashed my fricking switch in rage and now I can't play Zelda anymore
Zelda is complete shit compared to Palworld
This shit is actually gonna overtake Pokemon, holy frick lmao
>its player numbers on Steam peaked at 1.5M
>this means only 200k were on Xbox
HOW THE FRICK IS XBOX THAT SMALL WHAT THE HELL
People buy Xbox?
The Xbone was disastrous. You HAD to be there.
Xbox doesn't really have much presence outside of the Americas and this game is big in Asia, where PC and mobile are king outside of Japan.
Pajeetsoft fricked up and never recovered. It was a frick up so bad that even after a decade later the brand never recovered.
I believe most xbox players like most snoyggers don't enjoy this kind of genre. The consoles are all about COD, FIFA, and Fornite.
We have been saying for years that nobody buys Xbox if they have a PC and you homosexuals just call us snoys
c**tsoles don't matter.
I've been playing palworld on my pc using a free trial of gamepass
Quit it with the anti-palitic remarks.
I believe it. Check the charts. Look at the amount of people playing this game right now vs everything else on Steam. It has everything Pokemon fans could ask for. Still has lots of room for improvement, and infinite possibilities.
Also, I wanna frick my pals.
Who’s the long eared Pal? I’m interested in her.
It's her

Except for Pokémon gameplay...

I agree OP, that number seems a bit too high to be realistic.
>6 million
There's that number again.
The absolute state of sitters seething fricking hard over a game doing well.
>Twitter "commies" already completely gave up any shred of anticapitalist principle they had left in order to simp for big corporations and copyright interests
>now they're put in a position to question a narrative involving 6 million of an event
Tendies are manchid chuds you mindbroken incel.
>all the 4chud trump supporters are funneling money into a communist front ccp shell company
Makes you think.
So they're actually gonna update this game, unlike their previous games. Right?
probably, although their team is quite small so they could cash out and just bounce
Nobody knows. It would be funny if they didn't because that many people bought it
6 million? really? thats just a really high number. I have trouble believing anything with that high of a number really happened
>6 million
It's anudda shoah! Palworld are Nahtzees! They burned our games and kicked us Nintendies out again! We GameFreak are the victims here!.
This perfectly sums it up
The funny thing is Palworld plays nothing like Pokemon, having more in common with BotW/TotK.
>i-it'll be the same this time, trust me!
Tendies forget that the sales numbers are different, so it's a forced meme.
IT'S LIKE ANNUDAH SHOOOOOOOAH
>"p-popularity doesn't mean quality!"
>oh, so just like pokemon scarlet and violet?
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
They need to not focus on updating with content, but instead focus on stabilizing the game and giving it an easy modding platform.
If they make it easy for players to mod the game, it will sell twice as many and last longer than any Pokémon game
They just had an interview.
They said that the game is about 60% done and the next thing they want to add, besides polishing the existing systems, is PvP and trading.
Cool, now someone needs to make a ripoff of Zelda and kill that franchise forever. Then Nintendo will finally actually give a damn about quality control.
Multiversus needs a STRONG relaunch to give Smash competition too
>Reindog
this furgay OC sticks out like a sore thumb
If it keeps growing I'm going to end up buying this fricking game.
Palworld is now a serious competitor for Pokémon
It’s approaching the sales numbers for the mainstream games now
The more times Pokeshills posted muh SV sales numbers, the higher Palworld's sales go. It would be absolutely hilarious if Palworld eventually surpassed SV.
It's not going to happen for the reason Animal Crossing didn't beat Mario Kart.
Important to remember that at least a portion of SV sales are people double dipping like morons. So, frankly, even if it gets to around 80, 85%, it beat it.
6 million seems like a lot. Can we get a fact check on those numbers?
>nintendo ruins the lives of countless people just trying to spread their love for games and make a little cash on the side
>they ignore palworld
what did they mean by this?
Schizo?
nah there's a bunch of rom people that owe nintendo like 20 lifetimes worth of cash llo
Well yes schizo it seems
i think there's a misunderstanding on your end but it doesn't matter
are you shitting me? the game stores had wooden doors? for real?
>6 million? Does anyone actually believe this shit?
Cool it with the antisemitism there, OP
6 million? Get the frick outta here, no way the number is anything close to that.
Can anyone give me estimate when will Ganker shut the frick about this fricking garbage zoomer game? This board is fricking unusable
>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT A VIDEO GAME THAT'S RELEVANT AND POPULAR RIGHT NOW ON THE VIDEO GAME BOARD!!!

>pokemon
>survival crafting
go frick yourself you stupid fricking toddler im tired of seeing this trash everytime I open Ganker
Not until dragons dogma 2 comes out
So...these numbers are confusing to me considering TemTem was highly anticipated at being a "Better Pokemon" but it didn't do nearly the day 1 sales of Palworld.
temtem devs went off the rails as deranged troony's and killed any hype their game could have had
>people have been asking for a pokemon game like plaworld for ages
>gamefreak doesn give it to them
>gamefreak does nothing with the games and theyre constantly at this point 10 years out of date and not good
>someone makes what people want
>they buy it and have fun with it
>this is suddenly a problem
It's called competition, if you're not going to give people what they want and constantly turn out shit eventually some of them are going to look elsewhere. Honestly looking at like /vp/ and people who are still massively into pokemon it's like they've never played another video game before it's insane
have been asking for a pokemon game like plaworld for ages
I've literally never heard anyone say they want "pokemon with guns"
losers here wanted something like back when newgrounds was relevant
people have always wanted pokemon game where you could catch your little buddies and then do whatever, guns are completely irrelevant
Yeah but PalWorld is more immersive than Pokémon, all you do is battle trainers and do other dumb shit in Pokémon.
>I've literally never heard anyone say they want "pokemon with guns"
hmm?
where's your god now?
I think they mean the whole "large world where I can explore and fight enemies alongside my Pokemon and make use of their unique abilities.
“Pokémon with guns” is just the attention grabber, a way to market the game to attract eyes
What gave Palworld actual staying power is it provides things both current and ex Pokémon fans wanted but couldn’t get
Namely a high fidelity, relatively stable, open world game where you can interact with your Pokémon in ways beyond just battling them.
Funny that Nintengays were so certain that this would be FOTM that would be forgotten, and yet it just keeps growing and growing. Nintendo is massively shooting itself in the foot by not capitalizing on the PC space.
>Nintendo is massively shooting itself in the foot by not capitalizing on the PC space.
pokemon would have never sold this much because it's a pile of shit
the only reason it sells is because it's a switch exclusive and that's all tendies have
do you seriously think pc players would buy this shit
we know you emulated it, you dont have to be embarassed about liking nintendo games
is the new game made for switch1 or switch2?
i know it will look like shit anyway but still curious
>the only reason it sells is because it's a switch exclusive and that's all tendies have
And don’t forget the dual versions too plus DLC
They didn't even fricking try with Scarlet and Violet and Pokegays still bought that slop
>Would actually run at 60 fps
>Could have high res texture packs
I'd buy either on PC.
You guys are morons. It's literally the pokegays that are buying palworld. For some reason you can understand that people can also have a PC
>i-it's the pokegays that are playing this and love it!
Yes? Are you moronic. The pokemon audience is big as frick
Nah, there's surprisingly very little diversity of thought. Twitter is full of seething gays.

Pokegays are making steam accounts to get this game kicked from the store.
How do you do that? Negative reviews?
>been a poketard since gen1
>pirated scarlet/violet
>bought palworld
This, I don't understand what's so hard to understand. Thinking that new people that never bought pokemon are gonna play palworld is insane. There is an overlap of Pokemon players it's obvious just because the designs are similar enough for them to try. Also yes Scarlet and violet were terrible.
Yes scarlet and violet sucked I'm not gonna defend pokemon. Pokemon died since oras
I used to believe most switchgays on this board also owned PCs
I no longer believe that after seeing people suck tears of the kingdom of for things Gary's mod did 20 years ago
>Tear of the kingdom stole from garrysmod
>Palworld stole from pokemon
So thanks for confirming that they are switchgays?
Nobody is crying totk ripped off anything, just that zeldagays were exaggerating how impressive it was

literally who and why does he phase in ai breasts every 20 seconds?
I dunno for sure, but it might be to avoid getting flagged as children's content, if he talks pokemon regularly.
Youtube does it all the fricking time, so the tiddies may be for that
Uh, he's black
He just pretends to be black so he could say homie
bump
yes
Why do you collect friends on Steam? You don't even know these homies.
Watch out for these Nintendo copes now that this game has proven to be a success beyond doubt:
>it's a pokemon ripoff
>um actually this has nothing to do with pokemon, why do you guys keep comparing the two?
>nintendo will sue palworld
>it's ai generated, so it's bad
>it's fotm
>it's made by the chinese
>it's only influencers who are playing this
>pokemon sold more, so it's better
>6 million copies isn't a lot, any game developer can do that
>it's impossible for this game to have more than 6 million players in four days, any game that surpasses that number in a short amount of time is obviously phony
>uh sweetie did you forget that pokemon scarlet and violet did 10 million in three days?
>I've never heard of this game until now, so all the engagement must be fake
>the only people who like this game are snoys
>actually the ones playing this are pokemon fans
>sorry, sweetie, but it's palworld fans who are actually seething
>it's made by the chinese
It is and that's a good thing. I hope more neet chud money like with genshin goes into outfitting every pla ground tropper with the latest people's revolutionary rifle.
Japanese Game & Devs
Notice how it's only people that play AAA slop and movie games complaining
>6,000,000 in 4 days
>6,000,000 in 4 years
How would the internet react if Nintendo hired the Palworld devs?
CEO is apparently an ex Nintendo guy. They must shell him enough dosh to actually go back
Give one reason why Nintendo would want to
Dev is already on the record saying he's not fit for Nintendo.
Considering the state of current Nintendo, I don't blame him.
your right op. let me guess, tomorrow there gonna be at 7 million? and then 5 days from then 13 million??? cmon what is this kindergarden adding 1 mill each day, its so fakeeee. all the youtube videos from various people getting hundreds of thousands of views also has to be fake, just like genshin when it launched. pfft.
/s
go back
Do you guys think they're getting guys trying to pull a James Turner? Ride the train to make it more "diverse"
They do need good writers tho
Really? 6 million copies? I don't know... That's an awfully high number. Is it really possible, logistically speaking?
there's no way they could have sold 6 million in such a short time
and during a war with russia too
The numbers are exaggerated, but yes, the game really did sell 12 million copies. At 15 million copies sold in 4 days, you need to recognize that 18 million fans are showing their unilateral support to Pocketpair. 20 million in this short period of time is a feat of brilliance.
>All-time peak player count is 1.7 million
That means 1.5 million on Steam and 200,000 on Transbox. Fricking lol.
>Does anyone actually believe this shit?
With how hard it's being inorganically shilled on here, not at all.
>bro steam is colluding with this literal who company to make this the number one concurrently played game in all its history
>my proof...well it just is!
>inorganically
I don't think you know what that means.
Imagine trying to go with the cope that Pokemon fans aren't seething about this. Such obvious bullshit. Even the cope that it's all bots sounds more believable.
>Twitter toons angry about it because muh AI
>People that like pokemon play it
>Streamer homosexuals Black folk that like pokemon play it
>?
Your brain can't be that small to understand how small is the number of people that complain about something are.
They're not Pokemon fans, they're fairweather fans who gladly consume FOTM such as Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. Pokemon fans are dedicated to the franchise.
>People that like pokemon play it
Kek no people that have vague memories of playing pokemon 15+ years ago are playing it. Pokemon """"fans"""" are having rage strokes and seething.
People that have vague memories playing it are pokemon fans though
>Pokemon fans are dedicated to the franchise.
Lol, I like pokemon and I wish this happened ages ago
No they are just people who were children in the mid 90s to late 00s.
People that stopped playing the games are not new players anon.
It's like a tendie shoah.
>Oy Vey think of the 6 gorillion tendie threads we could be having
SHUT IT DOWN
6 million is not even that much tbh. It's completely believable. These are not COD numbers.
This game wouldn't even be a thing if they priced it wrong. $$$$ is everything. $30 is borderline unacceptable, specially if you have to buy extra copies for friends.
If they fricked this up and asked $40 or higher we wouldn't even be talking about this game tbh.
They were smart enough to follow Valve's regional prices to a tee.
I mean frick look at those costs. Shit's in impulse buy territory for a lot of regions.
this
even thirdies can buy it
WHAT THE FRICK WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE IN POLAND

OHNONONONO SO PALWORLD ISNT EVEN SELLING A FULL 30 DOLLARS
ITS ALL HALF OFF SHIT FOR THIRDIES
LMAO SIX MILLION IS BASICALLY THREE MILLION SALES IN REALITY
PALgayS GOT BTFO
Yeah I totally agree.
Nice, third party key site?
No, argentina steam region.
$13 for me. it's a steal.
Well yeah being cheap also helps to sell something. Not that hard to understand honestly. Let's also be honest, with how the recent pokemon games are, $60 dollars was way too much. It was overpriced.
tomorrow they're gonna post that they sold 7 million, huh?
As long as the PRC gets paid Ganker will defend this game.
its China shit
See
Yoshitpeepeesisters this was supposed to be us
Lol at Pokeshills trying to stretch the meaning of "fan" to make it seem like Pokegays aren't seething. It's like calling someone buying a Call of Duty game a CoD fan, even if he moderately enjoyed it and forgot about it a few days later.
Ganker constantly demonstrates that they live in a bubble and have no idea what the majority of the purchasing public things. They learn about the outside world by watching YouTube which is just filled with videos that reflect their own opinions back at them to generate clicks. No context for what life is like outside the internet.
Between this and BG3 I'm starting to believe the numbers are indeed lies, like streaming TV numbers are.
Its like poetry.
Why didn't BG3 lie to say it had these numbers?
Nothing unbelievable about it.
>streamer and youtuber endorsed -> trickles down to little kiddies
>edgy pokemon clone where you shoot pokemon with real guns and enslave them OMG LMAOO XD -> appeals to normies
>reasonably low pc spec requirements and a manageable file size -> appeals to third worlders
of course it would do well
People screaming why is it popular is like a repeat of Pokemon Go out of touch boomers which was like a repeat of out of touch Pokemania boomers.
Funny how Pokegays weren't skeptical at all about Pokemon Go's numbers, but now they're in constant doubt. It's all insincere, of course.
>>edgy pokemon clone where you shoot pokemon with real guns and enslave them OMG LMAOO XD -> appeals to normies
and even more to little kids
and not to mention the survival crafting aspect of it which kids love, especially because autism is increasingly endemic
i mean definitely kiddies too, but i feel like '' edgy pokemon xd '' has been a thing among millenials for so long and it's like every fricking kid goes through a '' imagine a dark edgy pokemon where pokemon DIE!?!? WOWOWOWOWO!!! '' phase in their life.
People forget but pokemon players are normies
Don't forget that it appeals to both men and women, and to children and adults. It's a four-quadrant game.
SHARTFIELD LOST
TENDIES LOST
Only 6 mil?? Move over Pokemon.
I want to frick the cloud girl
I hate steamies so much. Timmy thanks you for the millions btw
NOOOOOOOOO STOP PRAISING PALWORLD THINK ABOUT THE POOR MULTIBILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE'S FEELINGS!
The fact that this is making diehard pokemon fans shit their pants in rage just proves that these people were in the right to make palworld.
They know either consciously or unconsciously is fricking lazy and the modern games are half-assed shit, but they've spent the last twenty years worshipping the highest earning media franchise in history as it gets squandered in the most unceremonious fashion.
Imagine how painful it must be to be a dedicated gamefreak drone that refuses to admit that gamefreak and modern games are fricking trash, and then you see a ragtag group of idiots that can barely code cobble something together on a shoestring budget of 10k and completely decimates your worldview.
The impotent rage of being an unapologetic pokegay must be palpable.
>if you think X is bad, you must love Y
You ever do to think that maybe a person is just capable of calling low effort shit when they see it? All you are doing is proving you simply wanted your own lazy slop to suck down.
>You ever do to think that maybe a person is just capable of calling low effort shit when they see it?
No.
I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Sun/Moon and I got so bored I never even made it to the second gym or whatever the frick they were in that gen. Pokemon is shit. Palworld is shit. You homosexuals just like shit.
nta but im shitting all over this game and i only have a wii u and barely any games for it. and i havent played a pokemon game since N64 was a fresh console
Palworld was made by a bunch of literal who indie devs with far less resources.
What's gamefreak's excuse for being so shit when they have far more experience and resources?
why are you still trying to frame this like im just a pokemon fan
how come everyone defending this shit is doing it with bad faith arguments
I'm trying to help you see why PalWorld should get a pass. It's a fricking indie game made on a budget made by a team of amateurs and yet it completely mogs what Pokemon has been able to do for a near decade straight.
Nobody is claiming PalWorld is the apex of game design. It's just funny how it can come out of nowhere and completely mog one of the biggest franchises in the world. Gamefreak has no excuse for pumping out low effort, glitchy ugly slop year after year. That's what this is about. Gamefreak getting mogged by literal whos. That shouldn't be happening, but it's only happening because Gamefreak have horribly mishandled the potential of one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world.
its ark survival evolved but with less content, less mechanics, worse style and some really simple "factory" mechanics
>1.5 million concurrent players
we're entering a time of unprecedented mental moronation
Being an indie team of amateurs is still not really a defense or explanation as to why everybody is choking on this game's dick though. It explains why it's far from perfect but it doesn't excuse it still being a poorly put together game. It doesn't "mog" anything. It's Pokemon with guns and basic crafting mechanics and no clear sense of direction or innovation and every mechanic is as deep as a fricking puddle. This doesn't have the markings of some out of left field indie hit. It feels like the final product of a Unreal development 101 class going off of a template project outline, not a product meant to be sold.
Still better than Pokemon.
>It's Pokemon with guns and basic crafting mechanics and no clear sense of direction or innovation and every mechanic is as deep as a fricking puddle
Name another open world survival craft game where you can recruit dozens of workers that can help build and defend your base.
There is probably more, but it's not something I have seen personally.
But what does the base or defending it even add? How is defending even any fun when combat is basic as frick? What purpose does any of it actually serve? None of the gameplay loop actually goes anywhere so just having the mechanics together means frick all if it's not actually any good or interesting to do.
I think that having a base full of workers that must be defended was always meant to be at the core of the entire genre survival craft genre, but it has been underlooked due to Notch was too much of a lazy fat frick to make it work. But that was meant to be the core of Minecraft, just like in Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld. It's nice to have dynamic NPCs that stay at your home base, creating the fantasy of building a small community. It's also a similar appeal to SimCity and The Sims, and the later was one of the most popular franchises back in the day. With both games I always wished there was some sort of combat system to add extra tension to the game.
Rimworld
>Rimworld
Yeah, but that's not 3D nor accessible to normies.
I'm sure there's enough Minecraft mods out there to do everything this game does and more.
>okay but POKEMON
nta but do you say anything else? BOTH pokemon and palworld are low effort games.
GF was also a shovelware indie studio when they started it really is poetry what is happening.
>What's gamefreak's excuse
Gamefreak could pay the homeless to shit inside of a switch case and so long as it has the word "pokemon" on the front it'd sell 300 trillion units within an hour of release.
Crappy art is the only thing trannies have left, if they lose that to AI that 51% is going to skyrocket
PALMOGGED
>6 Gorillion Pals sold
REMEMBER THE SIX MILLION
From this thread alone, I've collected three new copes:
>this game is anti-christian and occult
>supporting palworld means you support communism
>uh sure the modern pokemon games suck, but that doesn't mean you should support this game even if you genuinely like it
>supporting palworld means you support communism
This one is true.
Yes that's true and it was all me by the way
Why is this game so hated among the transgender artist community? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWz990sL9BI
troonies hates AI in general
>27k kvetching Black folk
The player count of this game proved once and for all that Xitter is just filled with irrelevant loud minority trannies. Hogwarts Legacy already showed this but this is the final nail in the coffin.
Woke shit is dying because companies aren't rewarded with investment by pushing it anymore.
I think it's just 90,000 now since 10,000 already killed themselves again.
Can anyone of these people point me to a pocket monster game released 10 years ago that allows me to watch 'mons in the wild and interact with them in real time, care for them and build a comfy base where they can work with me ?
I'm not even buying the game until it hits 1.0 but I really hope the devs actually go to the end of that vision because it's one of my autism dream games.
>Can anyone of these people point me to a pocket monster game released 10 years ago that allows me to watch 'mons in the wild and interact with them in real time,
Legends Arceus?
>care for them and build a comfy base where they can work with me ?
Oh, then maybe Minecraft with mods was close enough to that
>I'm not even buying the game until it hits 1.0 but I really hope the devs actually go to the end of that vision because it's one of my autism dream games.
Be like me and play the pirate version. It works online. It's always better to wait for the game to release. I learned my lesson with early access a long time ago.
Don't forget to arm them with modern weaponry.
This game, when mods that replaces the monsters with Pokémon models come out.
>when mods that replaces the monsters with Pokémon models come out.
They already have.
>I'm not even buying the game until it hits 1.0
Thank you for never supporting this game
Modden Rimworld
>makes heavy use of AI
They made one game about AI and even that was about being able to spot AI, maybe if they played that game they wouldn't have to make up blatant lies like this.
Ironic that trannies of all people dislike AI because it's a pale imitation of art. Just like trans people are ale imitations of actual genders lol!
They hate AI and accuse Palworld of using it and hate Palworld for the same reason - People having other options. The entire delusional and narcissistic worldview that goes hand-in-hand with being a troony entirely depends on forcing it on others, on others having no other option, because in the vast majority of cases people with other options will not engage with them and the things they have already subverted or even acknowledge their existence. Now you suddenly have AI art where people can just generate their own shit without engaging with them and it won't go away anymore. Now you suddenly have millions of people jumping on Palworld, millions of people who simply walk away from them and the little power over "right or wrong" they thought they cultivated in their social media bubble the moment they have the chance. Of course they are going to seethe.
i like how you injected palworld into the fight against trannies with no real connection between the two
>was a big Pokemon fan
>really started to get sick of shit with Gen 3 and 4
>watching modern Pokemon gays losing their minds
It's pretty fun.
I've never played pokemon and some of the furry designs in this game are slightly off-putting, but some of my friends are playing it and liking it. Is the multiplayer good enough to justify getting it if I never intend to play it solo?
I don't know what to tell you anon. It's ark and Factorio with pokemon being your factory workers. The survival aspect of this game is just walking in the world, collecting shit and using weapons. You will NEVER be hungry because setting up a farm to eat eggs and berries is easy as frick. If you like automation and crafting then yes the game is fun.
I do like automation, but I guess that my biggest concern is about the quality of the multiplayer interactions and progression
The quality of the multiplayer seems to be close to a Minecraft server. If you have fun doing stupid shit yes. But the peer to peer aspect can be bad.
thanks, sounds good enough for 26€ probably, it's hard for a game to not be fun with friends after all unless its online is borderline unplayable
MP is quite buggy and your character is tied to the world, the single player is pretty good right now.
>people still don't get that BG3 probably sold like 30 million copies
It only sold 5 gorillions and below Hogwarts.
It's at 20 million at worst. It has almost the same number of Steam ratings as Cyberpunk which sold 25 million copies.
what does it say when indie devs utterly shit on scarlet or arceus?
game freak has BILLIONS of dollars and they put zero effort cause people will buy shitty games no matter what.
>what does it say when indie devs utterly shit on scarlet or arceus?
>game freak has BILLIONS of dollars and they put zero effort cause people will buy shitty games no matter what.
Think about why a game like this was even made. You literally shoot and kill the Pokemon. It's a symbolic trigger in our subconscious minds. That's why everyone loves it so much.
I CANT UNSEE IT
Once this passes Pokemon Crystal, I hope that Joe Merrick Black person will neck himself.

keep crying
>Minecraft sold 300M copies
>Palworld, a game on the same genre and marketed by MS couldn't possibly have sold 6M
Not gonna lie, if I were an indie dev, I'd be absolutely seething right now. Imagine seeing gamers talk shit at your work because it's not AAA levels of polish, and then you see another literal who indie dev make millions over night by releasing ark: pokemon edition with all stock assets and jank as frick gameplay.
>it's impossible for a game to sell 6 million in four days, the numbers must be fake

Black person do you not remember flappy bird? Shut the frick up lol. A game doesn't have to be good or reinvent the wheel to become "viral".
People forget angry birds literally plagiarized a free internet flash game made three years before it released too.
It's absolutely hilarious to see tendies do doublethink in real time.
So Ganker is just full of brainlets that eat up whatever trendy, huh?
Reject palworld.
Play craftopia. It has 4 years worth of updates.
Name one thing good about Pokemon besides the monster designs. I genuinely can't think of a single thing it does well besides that.
It doesn't do anything well. Palworld's success more of a reflection of how badly nintendo has handled pokemon than anything else. Yes, people are buying a low effort asset flip by the millions, but they're doing it because they're that starved for a better pokemon game than what nintendo has had gamefreak shit out for the past few years. As bad as palworld is, pokemon these days is worse. It looks worse, runs worse, plays worse, etc.
Frickable trainers
I generally like it's combat give or take some balance complaints
Pokemon balanced designs and the collecting aspect really well. Palworld is also doing that which is why it's selling well.
Pokemon is hard carried by their art and nostalgia
>Steam, the gaming media, numerous twitch streamers and multiple discord servers are all in on a global conspiracy to...make an indie game by a no-name studio mildly popular
Wow this definitely makes so much sense.
this shit makes me so freaking mad.. emulator SCUM think they can get away with this?.... they will NOT. @nintendo @IDF @gamefreak_info oops enjoy ur takedown!
All Pokemon games suck, and anyone who likes any of them suffers from nostalgia or moronation.
Then there a lots of morons in this world
>Then there a lots of morons in this world
They are called toddlers.
Well, yes, it's the franchise that only manchildren like. It's no surprise that whenever fans see Pokemon, they clap like seals. Even critics try to justify ever liking Pokemon in the first place by saying that it has a """"balanced"""" gameplay system and has """"good"""" designs.
For 26 bucks on steam its worth it. That's less than I make in 2 hours working at my shitty job Pokémon hasn't changed for the last 25 years.
>blowing your money on trash to attempt to cope with having a job you dont like
modern wagies in a nutshell
Pokemon has changed, for the worse. The developers have shown themselves incompetent, forced to crunch or lazy ever since they moved development to Switch. They used to put out games that were higher in quality on average than most games on thier platform. Now they are far behind and slipping further. They need to take thier time and really put out a really fricking good game before I will ever buy another.
Okay moron: why would they lie about that? If you tell me its to sell more copies then you are moronic.
Most of the people here won't admit it but it's genuinely a case of "My brain can't even process 6 million people existing, let alone buying and playing this game"
>tfw too poor to buy palworld
if you pirate it, it still allows you to play online fully

>game is a massive success as a result
God, why do devs even try when this is all it takes? Literally the sloppiest of slops.
Still better than Pokemon in every way imaginable.
That's not a defense. All it means is they managed to not trip over that low bar. They didn't exactly raise it any.
Who cares? As long as it's better than Pokemon, it's already good enough. The idea that a game has to be perfect or innovative is something that only Nintendo purists do.
Black person the only thing making that game works is the unreal engine 5. They were luck enough to leave unity in time and find a unreal engine dev to optimize that shit. Yes they are lucky frickers and now are rich kek.
And once again: IT'S STILL BETTER THAN POKEMON. The absolute lowest effort slop is a hundred times better than Pokemon (a contender for the most overrated, pretentious, and undeserving franchise of all time). Why is this something that shills like you don't understand?
If changing engines for the game to work is better then sure. I was just saying they did it in time and were lucky. They are all inexperienced devs. Don't lie to yourself thinking this game will go far beyond than that unless they hire more people. Like they should.
>Don't lie to yourself thinking this game will go far beyond than that unless they hire more people. Like they should.
No one's lying. Only Poketards think that fans are worshipping this like Poketards worship the shit that Game Freak sells, because ultimately, Poketards project and think that any sign of enjoyment is a sign of religious devotion to the game.
You are the only one projecting worshipping here moron lol
>y-you're projecting!
Except you accused Palworld fans of being deluded about this game, even after all the acknowledgment in this thread that this is extremely low-effort.
>why do devs even try when this is all it takes?
Because they think gamers want quality.
First honest dev in years.
Everyone else was thinking it but saying something else.
How come this game wasn't made by former game freak devs since it's from Japan?
I'm pretty sure there was a guy there that was from Nintendo in the DS era. I could be wrong.
>Anon is just now realizing that players are slop eaters
Honestly GF is probably angry because they don't make the most delicious slop anymore. Pokemon was always a normies franchise and normies are slop eaters by nature.
They guy got lucky honestly.
>mega corporations cannot even follow the most obvious trends
>meanwhile some random indie kids became mega successful by doing obvious shit
>mega corporation is comfortable with it's multimillion dollar formula and doesn't want to change it
>even when the games are terrible, the formula still makes millions
Shocking, isn't it?
Looking at Disney I am starting to think that there is a self-regulating element to mega-corporations that grow too big for its own good. At some people people do just get tired of their shit.
Actually he said he's not concerned with being original and just wants to make games people find fun. Originality doesn't always mean good or fun you know, sometimes improving on existing formula is just fine.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT, DADDY NINTENDO TOLD ME THAT ORIGINALITY AND INNOVATION ARE ALWAYS GOOD!
Nintendo aren't even that original. For every time they do something new they do another 10 Pokémon rehashes.
This would make Miyamoto have a heart attack. That hack never gave other franchises a chance because they couldn't add a gimmick to it
I would rather have another medabot game than endless pokemon rehashes. Game Freak failed and now Pocketpair is eating up their money.
What Pokeshills fail to tell you about Pokemon sales is that in the long term, they're trending downward. SV had a better opening than SwSh, but stagnated at 23 million. And neither SV nor SwSh has managed to outsell Red and Blue, despite the Switch bonus boosting every other Nintendo franchise.
>6 million
>4 Days
QUICK POKESISTERS!!! SEARCH THE LIQUIDATED PAL WORKCAMPS FOR CHIMNEYS AND GAS CHAMBERS!!!! IT HAS TO BE VERIFIED THAT HIS EVENT HAPPENED!!!
I'm gonna remember palworld from now on any time I see someone complain about a game's quality.
I'm going to remember Palworld every time I see a AAA slop without NPC interactivity that can rival an indie like this.
A lot of AAA slop has NPCs that can attack either other, bro. Hell, I was playing far cry 5 just last month where friendly NPCs will get into fights with enemy NPCs.
>multiple NPCs work at the base and respond organically to threats
Not even Minecraft has this, and that's made by a billion dollar corporation. A feature that should have been there before the game came out of beta since the game was meant to be a Dwarf Fortress clone.
Are you just being moronic? This is literally what the villagers do paired with an Iron Golem.
I checked a random reddit post and it said that the Iron Golem walks away and gets lost if left unattended.
This is generally true.
On paper the villagers and iron golem work like this, in practice the string holding them together often breaks, and the golem often wanders off/won't properly engage as a group, only if it's directly pulled.
Pokemon is a giant allegory of the cave. You're immersed in it from the moment you were born, but as soon as you see through Nintendo's and Game Freak's deception, the illusion falls apart at once, and you see the Pokemon world for what it truly is: a corporate moneymaking machine with no soul whatsoever.
That's the biggest psychological hurdle of the tendies. They fashion themselves as vidya experts but they only play games on Nintendo's toy consoles, so they cannot even imagine that there is a world outside.
Mark my word this shit will be forgotten in 3 months
and?
Better than Pokemon SV, which was forgotten in a week and in a few days after the DLC was released.
Well yes but because the devs won't be able to keep players for that time as game development is slow and poke sloppers want updates for yesterday
every time I see this post, the time increases by a bit
Ultimate proof that Nintendo/Game Freaks business strategy is moronic.
still waiting on that torrent.
it's made in Japan so you should buy it
they are /ourguys/ after all
I'll buy it when it's finished. Right now I just want to join the trend.

This will kill a lot of Pokemon's sales for the next game because there are no signs that this will stop growing, and most people playing this now have a sour opinion of Pokemon.
That's like saying Genshin killed Zelda sales because of superficial similarities.
>superficial similarities.
So superficial that it's the number one thing that everyone playing this game talks about.
fricking kek they seriously can't refute this. I'm genuinely curious how many of these players want to act like video games are a serious art form too.
Yeah, just like Genshin. Then you realize they're nothing alike other than a couple (or in Palworld's case, ONE) gameplay mechanic.
I don't think a lot of people are going into the next Pokemon game wanting it to be Minecraft.
>I don't think a lot of people are going into the next Pokemon game wanting it to be Minecraft.
Nope, they want it to be functional and not look like a piece of shit, both of which Game Freak cannot do. In a way, this makes things even worse for Pokemon since people's standards are now higher.
>since people's standards are now higher
People actively acknowledged how bad the latest Pokemon games looked and performed AND THEY STILL BOUGHT IT. People don't care; they just want to consume product.
TWENTY MILLION COPIES IN ONE YEAR
Tears of the Kingdom had to come up with the Nuts & Bolts bullshit just to not get destroyed in comparisons with Elden Ring and Genshin Impact.
Ultimate proof that Nintendo/Game Freaks business strategy is moronic
This will kill a lot of Pokemon's sales for the next game because there are no signs that this will stop growing, and most people playing this now have a sour opinion of Pokemon.
This is a good thing. Pokemon need something to humble them. Honestly all franchises that are too big can become terrible.
Oh no, that sort of questioning almost makes it seem ra~ciiist!!
I can believe it. Just show the regional breakdown. Lots of people in Asia and the price isn't too high.
Nintendo should combine Pokemon with Animal Crossing
>not even counting game pass players
Ok, 6000002
We don't count subhumans
Palworld is literally a day away from beating Arceus' first week sales...
What a lot of copers don't understand when they go "but it looks shitty and unpolished!" is that even if all that is true, IT'S STILL BETTER THAN POKEMON.
not only is it a better and more fun game, it's also better looking and more polished
>but you don't understand, it's better than pokemon!
I can't speak for anyone else but what confuses me isn't that poeple are enjoying a less jank game, it's that they're praising it like it's better than it actually is.
what other game can offer what palworld offers? none
the closest thing is pokemon and that shit sucks now a days
Again, I'm not scratching my head because people are enjoying a jany ass, but novel, hackjob. I'm confused by the people talking as if the game is a quality product.
probably due to some aspects being genuinely high quality and the more lacking aspects being excused as Early Access
What's high quality about it?
the pal animations and interactions, again there aren't many games to compare to so the first thing to look at is pokemon. as someone who played since the 90s i've never seen gamefreak have so many charming animations and moments for their mons. it's usually exclusive to the anime
It's not a coincidence that all Pokemon fanart shows self-inserts doing stuff with their Pokemon that they can't actually do in the games. Wanna feel like a friend to your Pokemon? Too bad, you have to use your imagination because all Pokemon does is treat your Pokemon like cold mechanical machines of war.
Anon? You can interact with pokemon in all the modern games. The frick are you talking about?
All """"interaction"""" is done to make your Pokemon higher in stats. There is no genuine heart or soul in these interactions.
Poketards would rather assassinate Xi than telling gamefreak to make better game
hehe nice one
>Tiny team
>Tiny budget
>Literally didn't know what an animation rig was a few years ago
>Baits the hardcore pokegays into advertising for them for free with an artsyle choice
>Blows Pokemon the frick out with an art style choice and fantasy capturing while making a totally different game, riding this for more free advertising
>Digs into the bottom of the realm of AAA performance with a game that doesn't give a shit about being the next generation of gaming, redefining your expectations, or being a genius masterpiece made by a visionary, and is just fun
Truly
Well played, Palworld.
>the game is good because it could be mischaracterized as some kind of underdog fighting the good fight
kys, pal
No.
Just smart business decisions resulting in a fricking goldmine
6 millions is enough to rank as the 26th most sold game on Switch. Still a long way to go https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games
A literally who game already sold 1/4 of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Stop downplaying it
and this shit isnt even properly out for like another year or two
how much did BG3 sell before release?
being the kind of game this is trying to be, once its finished the gays who play it will have sucked all the fun out of it
i deffo think it wont peak nearly as high again by that point but i'm sure new people will still buy it
and those new people will be raped in the shitter by all the tryhards who know how to play and dont have fun without playing like a crackhead
literal crackheads play games like this
i know one IRL
smart decisions aka selling out to appeal to cumdribbling zoomer mutts
you can just play it solo though, that's what i'm doing. i have no intention of ever playing multiplayer
and only one of those games came out in 2023 and it was totk. The rest have had infinitely more time to succeed
>MUH SIX GORILLIONS IN 4 DAYS!
TWO MORE WEEKS
So long it makes the pokegays seethe
I can guarantee you that in a few years, Pokemon will be seen as worse than the likes of Call of Duty and EA Sports. Children and manchildren will be embarrassed to wear merchandise with Pokemon characters on them.
>sold more than kirby ever did
The uncomfortable truth that even Nintendo haters find it hard to accept is that Kirby is also terrible and mainly runs on "LOL MUH DEEP AND DISTURBING DARK LORE".
>Kirby is also terrible and mainly runs on "LOL MUH DEEP AND DISTURBING DARK LORE".
Yeah, maybe if you've only seen a Kirby game made in the past ten years.
This.
And, a bit of respect for it.
Kirby is a great video game. If you're like, 4. Or have a 4 year old.
If you're not, it's... not the worst.
the newest one sold more but palworld will probably pass it soon
I am gonna explain why Palworld is successful to White people: Most action games are either linear epics similar to the Oddysey, multiplayer Gladiatorial arenas, or open world colonization games in which you explore and conquer New Worlds.
Strategy games, and by extension survival craft games, are about imperial colonization. You arrive to a new world, explore uncharted lands, conquer territory away from uncivilized savages, build a large settlement or hacienda, enslave natives to work on your plantation, then you defend your settlement from the barbarian hordes.
That's the fantasy at play here, and that's why Palworld is so successful. But that's just a theory.
There's nothing like gazing upon a field of a hundred starving savages, sleeping outside and stabbing eachother over handfuls of grass, and organizing their labor such that a fraction of them can feed the entirety of the rest with surplus, and the rest can do something better.
It activates my deep genetic endorphin receptors. It feels right
the game most similar to this is ark and its ruled by chinks and beaners
I do.
I don't think the game really is one that motivated that many people to pay on their own, but the controversy hype the last few days has been fricking absurd, and the buy-in is less than $30. There's no way numbers didn't jump balls hard from it.
I have no way of knowing if 6mil is accurate, but I find it easy to believe with what's happened out there.
>The math just doesn't add up. I bet the real number is like 200,000, and that's only from Game Pass bombing the traditional video game supply lines.
Pokecope
Seeth and cope poketard.
PALCHAD FTW!
Where can I get pokemon mod?
