Do you feel stupid for having bought into the hype? It's never going above 2 million again
I hate palworld but why are you treating player count as if they were stocks?
Because if you understood anything about stocks or player counts, you'd know they're an important measurement of success and quality.
>20 million copies sold
>not a success
okay
It sold millions of copies in days of course it was successful, you utter fricking moron. have a nice day, seriously
>stock pumps 1000%
>goes down by 10
>see hahaha i told you so. whos holding the bag now?
More players = better game
Just look how dead TOTK is today
Valheim says hi
Do you have some magical way of getting player count for switch games that we don't know of?
He's talking about Twitch numbers. Interest in single player games can be gauged by how much people watch on twitch. An empty category on twitch means there's no interest in the game.
TotK currently has 559 viewers. Not bad. But About 400 of those viewers come from just 4 streams. Medium to big sized streams typically get viewers who watch them play *anything*. That audience isn't there for Zelda per se. They're there to watch their favorite personality. So in reality, TotK only has about 150 "real" viewers. And it has 39 streams running
Now compare that to Dark Souls 3. A game seven years older than TotK. It has 1.1K total viewers. Subtracting the top streamers, it still has about 400 "real" viewers split among the lower streamers. And it has 96 streams running.
So not only does Dark souls 3 have twice the total viewers, it has more than twice the real audience. And more than twice the streams.
Interesting that you would go to all this trouble to basically describe a useless metric. Who cares how many people are watching it, exactly?
TotK outsold DS3 and for a LOT more money in each copy, so clearly twitch numbers don't really translate to anything other than how much money streamers make off a certain game. I guess that could be interesting in a way but I truly do not give a shit.
Doesn't even tell you that because it's a lot easier to stream PC games than it is console games, so comparing them is just absolutely moronic
>He's talking about Twitch numbers-
Stopped reading there. Black person WHO FRICKING CARES. WATCHING A moron PLAY THE GAME ISN'T THE FRICKING SAME AS ACTUALLY PLAYING IT. have a nice day.
>people move on from singleplayer game after they finished it
>HOLY SHIT TOTK FHITTED AND SLOPPED @FBI @NINTENDO FIX IT NOOOOW
have a nice day
Because spammers were annoying the week palworld got popular, spamming sales and player count numbers and now it's confirmed to be a FOTM fad.
>spammers were annoying
>proceed to spam "palworld is dead" threads 24/7
at least wait until it stops mogging literally every single game on steam kek pathetic
Ganker tortanic brainrot
Yep
tortanic and its consequences have been a disaster for the Ganker race
Because palgays were doing it for weeks.
Are your feelings hurt?
Is that what you said to your high school bullies?
Badass
I'm just wondering why aee you so mindbroken over this game?
Nintendo doesn't care about you, you know.
I guess I was right.
Nobody said anything about Nintendo, palgay, but I think now you're learning why you're so obnoxious.
Because the average gamer in current day only cares about there being online discussion of a game. If their favorite streamer/vtuber isn't playing the game they can't even fathom playing the game at all.
Zoomers are a generation with no drive or future.
>online discussion
This is giving zoomers too much credit; they don't care about "discussing" anything, they only care about signaling their tribal alliances with preprogrammed shitposting memetics that they learned from millennials. The key difference is that millennials do it for humor, but zoomers take it deadly serious.
I think Ganker wants a victory. It's like when they cope about a game selling only 4 million instead of 20 million in a week
It's a popularity contest. We're literally at school here, Anon. What, you're playing this game nobody else is playing or has heard of? Haha, you loser. What, you're not watching current show? Haha, you loser. What, you don't have amazing new water bottle? Haha, loser.
It doesn't even matter whether popularity or success says anything about quality. That's not the point. It's important because being popular means you are socially accepted in some capacity. We all do this in one way or another, but there are definitely ways to do it with more or less dignity. And playercount on Steam is a metric that's definitely part of the latter.
This isn’t school, at school we played games. You homosexuals just stare at steamcharts and Twitter posts.
very right post
Because in the year 2016 (and again in 2020) this site was flooded with a torrent of 16-24 year old midwits who grew up on Reddit and Twitter and they took their style of discourse with them.
i had fun
isn't that all that matters?
we don't use that word here
>i had fun
Source?
Your mum. She kept trying to seduce me while I was playing but I was far more interested in Palworld. I got her off while I was waiting for some of my eggs to hatch and she squirted across the room and killed my fish by throwing off the PH balance of my fishtank the fricking b***h. Tell your mother I'm never sexually pleasing her over playing Palworld again.
Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
>all that text
>for a one word shitpost
You lost you triggered, mindbroken fool
Gen alpha go home!
no, the numbers on this chart lowered, that means you aren't having fun, and never had fun to begin with.
>Shitpost the entire board for a week cooming to numbers
>As soon as numbers drop pretend they never mattered
Should've thought about it before you chose to be an annoying twat
ah yes, because they're the same people, of course, how can we forget?
this whole board is just 2 people. you and me. yes all these other posters are me, even when I am calling myself a homosexual. especially then.
>YOU WILL PAY FOR INSULTING MY FRIEND NINTENDO
>FEEL MY RIGHTEOUS WRATH
What made you like this?
Go back to your pokemon containment board.
I'm already done with the game, still waiting for new updates to keep playing
NOOOOOOOOOOO THE GAME MUST LET YOU ENGAGE IN LE EXTENDED GAMING EXPERIENCE, HAVING LE FUN IS NOT ENOOOUUUUUGH
yes
you're not having fun. i have the numbers to prove it
you did not have fun, you had fake fun like all zoomers that get FOMOed into liking the ((current thing)) because their influencer made a hella epic reaction to it
Define fake fun.
>fun
>survival craft slop
Yeah, nah, you're full of shit
Nta, but me and my biological kids love the game.
Me and the boy are hunters while my daughter is in charge of the base and decorating our house. We even have beds next to one another.
Then play split screen Minecraft instead. Imagine playing a video game with your kids, and it isn't on the coach with a bowl of popcorn between you, laughing at the stupid shit that happens face to face.
I'm taking about Pokemon btw
you had illegal fun, palworld literally pirated pokemon
>I'm having fun eating literal feces, and I love that it makes you seethe chud
This is what palsloppers actually think like
I find it funny how nintendo cucks embody very different value from the company philosophy and are being utter salesgays
basically pic related
^
>Everyone who shits on my asset flip ark clone is a tender
You people are fricking delusional
They're disposable because you're way stronger by using guns, they're entirely secondary to the actual gameplay beyond again, being mass produced sweatshop workers, also sin the game has no evolution system you don't get the same attachment as seeing a pokemon "grow up" by evolving
>They're disposable because you're way stronger by using guns
This isn't true at all
>being mass produced sweatshop workers
Oh wow, actually having your creatures do more than one thing is a bad thing then? Growing food at a farm is sweatshop working? Please tell me what Pokemon do outside of the 6 that sit in your party (which is actually just 1 at the start that you use to kill everything because it's usually your overlevelled starter)
>also sin the game has no evolution system you don't get the same attachment as seeing a pokemon "grow up" by evolving
Oh so you just hate Taurus? Ditto? Mewtwo? Pinsir? Hitmonlee and chan? Fricking moron, stop throwing out mindless arguments you fricking shill
>They're disposable because you're way stronger by using guns
Tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game.
>they're entirely secondary to the actual gameplay beyond again, being mass produced sweatshop workers
And they earn treats, pets, and the best food and facilities for helping me out. When they're sick, they get medicine. When they're hungry, they get tasty morsels directly to their plates.
>also sin the game has no evolution system you don't get the same attachment as seeing a pokemon "grow up" by evolving
This is the only point I can agree with, so far. It's lame, especially since some Pal designs are clearly meant to be evolved versions of others (Pengullet vs Penking comes to mind).
>fun
i don't understand
>Ganker
>fun
>i had fun
>isn't that all that matters?
No actually thats a buzzword!!!!
Surely in one year or two you could come back to this game, play it again, and have as much fun as you used to, right?
No, you need others(especially e-celebs) to validate your fun
>I had fun for about 7 hours while I shitposted about how it was the best game ever
kys you fricking moron
Genuinely liking something is forbidden
Everything must be wrapped in 10 layers of irony before you are allowed to like it
To be fair if you like the pinnacle of goyslop that Ark + Pokemon is, you deserve to be mocked until you are so insecure you are afraid of spouting sincere opinions.
>I had fun with Early Access survival slop
don't care, had fun, eagerly await more content, until then i'll play something else
isnt' it like 4 player co-op game or something. it's not like mmorpg where you need hundreds of players
post games that currently have bigger numbers
Just needs some time to cool off, just wait until 2mil players until you fomo back in.
Ngmi
>bought
2.5 mill this weekend
Nope
mumu, we meet again. bobo always wins. shorting this dumpster fire into the depths
Nope. Still playing it, actually. Believe it or not, number of players doesnt matter to people who actually play games, OP. Try enjoying yourself for once instead of being extremely upset about what others do
zoomers like you would love watching sports. Just reading graphs and stats all day and arguing about your favorite team. Sports fans dont play sports either so its just like your relationship with games.
we're living in a timeline where people are celebrating 15k as a success and 600k as a failure
WOOOO! LOOK AT NUMBERS GO UP!
Dumb sexy noodle
i had fun in the early game but the late game is a pain in the ass, needs a lot of QOL, not mad at buying
>It's never going above 2 million again
So?
And its still above Counterstrike so if he thinks like that CS:GO is a dead game too
I played 80 hrs before I hit the nonfun parts
That time for 30 is extremely good, so, no I don't regret it in the slightest
Only stopped because hit 50 and had my fun with the breeding min/maxing within the current EA limits. Legit the 1-50 and getting the full 111 'dex' is rather fun and growing from a single base towards 3 self production locations each doing something in turn to lead towards me being fully decked out in bullets and balls for sure felt great by the end. There's clearly parts though that are begging for the 'end game' to be accessable, yet as it stands after beating the 5 bosses it's kinda 'hands under butt' situation. Including that there's no telling saves now will be valid a year or two from now if there's major reworks or map changes done. Also ReLink came out and that's eating my time, and FF7R2 is coming out and that'll eat more time, and I've not been doing Tekken 8 online...Honestly a ton of good games just within this first 2 months of 2024.
I had a ton of fun with it, and now I'm playing Granblue Fantasy ReLink and will go back to playing more Palworld in a few weeks, what's the problem? It's not a live service game.
>makes same exact thread every day
>janny gives out "warnings" to anyone pointing out this unhinged behavior
thanks for betatesting gays, I'm buying it on full release
why do tendietrannies and pokeBlack folk only care about muh numbers?
>It's never going above 2 million again
Who cares about popularity. You should feel stupid for buying a game in early access in the first place. Wait until full release or pirate it
>Nooooo! It needs gay bear sex to be good!
I put more hours in Palworld than most premium games and the experience, while bad, is better than what they'll ever give.
you are so brave for putting in so little hours to popular games, everyone is in awe of your counter culture nature
I only play good games
>Starfield
>Good
he's really taking the piss.
Do you? Can you post pic related?
>starfield
>205
what the frick are you doing
I refuse to believe anyone would play Starfield for 205 hours unless they were paid to do it. This has to be photoshooped... No one has that little self respect. No one sucks tods dick this hard.
I'm sorry you don't play and enjoy games anymore.
You can catch a male human and put them in the breeding pits with a male bear-like pal.
Wait for the short squeeze once the tendies wake up #pokemondiamondhands
No, I had fun and you are a coping embarrassment and a controonian
I got in at 100k so I'm still in green
as soon as the pvp mode is introduced all the streamers going to stream it again and it'll basically turn into valve's fortnite
how many millions of people play it on gamepass?
like.... 15 mln?
I tried it for free on game pass, played it for 20mins went... "yep, typical open world survival crafting simulator!" Immediately opened cheat engine and gave myself unlimited resources and exp boosted the hell out of myself and my pals. Went to the "endgame" towers and bosses, beat them and waited for them to respawn. That's the whole game. It's almost like theres no fun to be had when 90% of the gameplay is resource grinding whether its your pals that do it or yourself
>cheated
>didn't capture bosses
lel
They'll hate you for telling the truth.
You can just set your world settings to give you xp 20 times faster
This was me with Granblue Fantasy when I hit the 30th cutscene in 10 minutes. Game is a moron babysitter.
>just play the same game for years and never look for new game
Who are these posters that bring up sales data over and over again? I don't just mean for Palworld, but just on Ganker in general. Who the frick are these people and where did they come from? Why do I have to see some sort of shitposting related to sales numbers every single day for multiple games?
>Who are these posters that bring up sales data over and over again?
gee, i wonder
Are they shitposting? They do have this assumption that vidya should be forevergames and that anons on Ganker are jobless losers just like them.
They may actually believe they're in good company and actually think we enjoy their banters.
Still, our mods should honestly just ban them. It's that pathetic.
I paid 30 bucks and got over a hundred hours out of it.
Just beat the final boss and completed the dex yesterday.
I'd say it was well worth it.
No
I feel smart for having bought a pretty cheap game that's been a lot of fun.
I have to thank people like you for making it even more fun. The sheer amount of seething that having fun playing palworld generates is delightful
What game on steam am I supposed to be comparing this to?
It's at 3 million right now, OP.
No, I didn't buy the game because it was unironic "early access crafting survival open world" which is the same combination of buzzwords that have been pumping out absolute garbage slop for the past 10 years.
You shouldn't feel bad for buying a game because of player count, you should feel bad for having bought a bad game.
>i don't like it so it's bad
grow up.
>You didn't play the latest fotm slop?? G-grow up
Lmao you are a child and so is everyone else playing that garbage and cheering for it
yeah. I feel like a dumb child. I really thought this was going to be the next PUBG/Fortnite so I put all my time into it, tried to push it here as much as possible and for what? for it to die with a whimper, not even a roar. never again, Ganker. never again.
got my worth out of 30 dollars don't care about e-celeb opinion or some vtards, if you think a game has to be a forever game then you maybe have autism
Oh no, people played the game, had fun and moved on.
Anyway
>every game should be live service with a 10 yearlife span
>your game that came out three weeks ago has ONLY 700.000 players on a monday
>NINTENDO FRICKING WON
Why are modern gaymers like this?
I stopped playing because i beat the game but i'll come back once they add pvp and arena.
See
Can't you morons start a normal Palworld thread without relying on such obvious shitposts?
You really expect zoomers to not take the bait? Modern internet users never learned about the rule of never feeding the trolls, every site you go they fall for obvious shit, which is why rage baits are so common nowadays.
Every single fricking thread OP on this shithole is a bait nowdays
>people HAVE to keep enjoying something or it's shit
are you moroner discord troony?
>doing 700k on a Monday is considered losing for palchads
$26 for 70 hours of some of my best gaming time in a long while. Hell no I fricking loved it. How does players finishing with the game's current content make my fun any less?
The game must never stop selling and the player count must always rise.
Unless the game reaches 971 million players day after day for a year it flopped.
>give chinks game for free
>pay them so they play your game
>fast forward some days
>stop pay them
>they stop playing thegame
many such cases.
This guy killed Palworld. Reddit never recovered since then.
He is right. Half the reason Pokemon is so popular is because of the charming monsters, characters and world. Palworld is lifeless with ugly player created characters, trainers don't even talk and have no personality. No Pal design is as memorable and recognizable as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle. Palworld will never have multiple anime, movies, spinoffs, good merchandise and a spot in Macys parade. It has no culture impact and relevancy.
It is by definition, FOTM and will be forgotten soon. Pokemon will always be king.
My childhood friend Nintendo always wins.
>No Pal design is as memorable and recognizable as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle
Probably because millions of people were introduced to those creatures when they were young and impressionable, and most people playing Palworld are grown adults who won't grow attached to these fricking pixels
Disingenous Pokeshill
>"The problem is that I don't particularly care about any of my Pals. I caught hundreds of Pals and I won't remember a single one. These critters are just disposable resources and labor"
As opposed to what? Sitting in your fricking computer box in pokemon doing frick all? They serve the exact same function as Pokemon, battling, and they have even more functionality in Palworld because they actually do things and exist in the 3D world
This stupid c**t can't possible have played either of these games to have this opinion, it's genuinely braindead to say that Pokemon serve more purpose than Pals do, even if Palworld is a lazy piece of shit game
>This stupid c**t can't possible have played either of these games to have this opinion, it's genuinely braindead to say that Pokemon serve more purpose than Pals do
You're genuinely too stupid to understand the psychology of people getting attached to their pokemon party, pals are disposable by design since they're more relevant as sweatshop workers than they are as partners, they fricking suck compared to guns. also saying the only reason people are more attached to pokemon is nostalgia is moronic, people doesn't find palworld designs nearly as memorable because whether you want to accept it or not most of the designs are "parodies" (and this is being generous) of already existing pokemon so of course they don't leave a big first impression
How are they disposable? You can keep 5 of them in your party throughout the entire game, the exact same way you can keep pokemon in your party. Please explain how Pokemon, which only serve the purpose of battling, do more than Pals, which serve the purpose of battling, crafting, producing items, travelling
>MUH ATTACHMENT
You played pokemon 25 fricking years ago you moron, of course your childish brain grew an attachment to pixels on your gameboy, why the frick would you grow attached to a Pal aged 30? And let's not pretend that Pokemon designs have been any good for the past 5 generations or whatever, nobody likes the fricking keychain or garbage bag
>>MUH ATTACHMENT
>You played pokemon 25 fricking years ago you moron, of course your childish brain grew an attachment to pixels on your gameboy, why the frick would you grow attached to a Pal aged 30?
You say this like palworld will have anywhere as big a staying power, face the facts, people are more likely to remember grizzbolt as "oh yeah that electivire clone" than they are to remember him on his own merits, and that's true of most pals besides actually unique ones like Dazzi
Dazzi is just cheap e-girlbait and completely forgettable outside of that.
Chillet is apparently the one whose design made a big splash.
>pals suck compared to guns
you haven't played the game, the pals are way stronger than any weapon you can use as the player
To add to this. They could argue Pokemon is charming, but I honestly can't name anything from after X and Y, and even X and Y is a blur in my memory, while Silver, Gold, Crystal, Red, Blue, Yellow, etc, all persist in my mind.
Stopped reading a "the psychology of people getting attached to their pokemon party". Tell that to my boxfuls of eggs and shitty 3-IV and 4-IV shitmons I got on the way to breed my perfect 5 IV team, which I nicknamed and grew attached to, just as much as I grew attached to my perfect Cawgnito, Wixen, Depresso, and Beakon. In the end they're just fricking pixels on the screen; you give them meaning by virtue of your own mental state when playing.
>As opposed to what? Sitting in your fricking computer box in pokemon doing frick all? They serve the exact same function as Pokemon
I agree. At a certain point in Pokémon I realized whenever I "imagined caring" I just pretended it was the anime. The Pokémon aren't like party members in any other RPGs, eastern or western wise. They are literally just used for wiener fights & being a different take on the collectathon. Hell, at least Digimon talk but it wasn't designed to be Pokémon, it was designed to be Tamagotchi for boys.
>Pokémon, years of building that success as well as Nintendoshills to back it up
>Palworld, literally just existed last month
Huh?
>No Pal design is as memorable and recognizable as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle
Anon you do realize the GameFreak has failed to make starters as good as those 3 for 25 years?
>list every bad point of the game
>kill it
BASED!!
>Palgays are just weak willed people
We've been saying this about this garbage "survival/crafting" genre since day 1.
Dead by daylight dev btw
>Falls through maps
never happened to me once in 95 hours.
>combat is boring/repetitive.
Didn't feal that way to me as i kept capturing new pals and found the best way to DPS was to Swap pals out once they blow their 3 big cooldowns.
>Ballance is awful and player does more damage than pels.
did this guy scale his damage in the world settings??? no way this is true otherwise, never fealt like i was doing more dps than the pals... breeding for good passives makes Pals REALLY strong.
>Large open world is empty.
its pretty damn full of pals and resources... a couple towns scattered around... i guess more POIs could have been nicer, the dungions are repetitive. this is like his only legit point IMO.
>The two game loops are powerful
Yes.
>Early access,
Best and most pollished early access release i have ever played.
>i don't care about my pals.
I have seen tons of people drawing fan art... especially of the fury persuasion... Pokemon had existed for years for people to love them over time. This shit is fresh... and i love my Fenglope with its 3 speed passives and its Dash... holy shit that thing is the best mount i have ever seen in a game for traversal, even blows GW2 mounts out the water at how fast it moves and its amazing the game doesn't suffer from crazy pop-in of assets while you ZOOOMING.
I cleared the last boss yesterday... I am done with the game. But i left feeling more satisfied with my purchase and time spent than i have for any game in the last few years.
think about what Rust was on release.. what it is now. This game is only going to get better as the devs add content towards it 1.0 release.
>This game is only going to get better as the devs add content towards it 1.0 release.
Nobody tell this guy about craftopia
Did Craftopia make them anywhere near the amount of money and justify them adding content to it? or was it just a step on this small teams journey to creating Palworld.
>Actually it's completely ok for the company to abandon an early access game if it doesn't sell well
Dumb consoomer
You didn't answer the question
>abandon
Didn't Craftopia get a bunch of updates right around Palworld's release?
Ye still an unfinished mess getting mixxed to negative reviews
Yes it is ok for a small indie team to move on from failed projects, then adapt from what they learnt and make something new. The market decides on what succeeds and what fails.
and after looking into it, It turns out they have been adding updates recently... wow they learnt a bunch of new stuff from making palworld from scratch and retro-actively fixing their old title you accused them of abandoning...
you just wrong.
Some of the people on this board have autisim and just want devs to set money on fire for no good reason.
And some people are so unhappy that this thing is succeding... i can only assume its life long pokemon fans that have some autistic attachment to the franchise. they are so insecure that their beloved franchise has fallen to shit and Palworld showed them how useless Gamefreak and Nintendo are at making video games and only care about milking their cash cows with cheap plastic toys and half baked video games that look like they were made for PS2.
Get over it and let people be happy you guys. its wild to see the zealous hatred for this games success. you guys are like religious fanatics yelling at someone you think has insulted your god.
I hate this game because I hate Pokemon and I hate Ark, not to mention Early Access games.
Palworld is the embodiment of everything wrong with indie games, the same as Minecraft.
Its another thing that you zoomers are npcs who get unironically emtertained by farmingslop.
Eh, i pirated it and had some fun.
>lacking warmth
Yeah, it's a very cynical and soulless game. It has proven that there's an appetite for this type of game, so i'm definitely hopeful for better 'pokemon clone' games.
Man I'm gettung really tired of these numbers threads every week for every new games. Realistically they're never going away. At least with katawa shoujo there was a good reason to make a separate board
>numbers are high
>"HAHA we are having so much fun we love the game you pokegays! cry more! Look how many people are playing this is GOTYAY"
>numbers drastically drop in a week
>"numbers don't mean anything. I had fun anyway it doesn't matter that it's only got 10h of content"
Next time just shut the frick up and play your gay ass game, instead of shilling here, you absolute degenerates.
Nintendo won.
no
Do you people honestly think it's not the same idiots posting both types of threads?
>STOP THE COUNT POKEBROS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING #FBI #NINTENDO
>OH NO NO NO PALBROS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING SELL SELL SELL
It's the same as the hanging troon/polchud spam. Same wojakshit, same morons posting both flavors. Why? Because it gives them attention. They don't care about what it is they're posting, as long as it riles people up.
>this same thread again on Monday
unlike tendies, people have either school or work
go outside for once
>no more content to play
>player count drops
Gee, I wonder why
Remember when games came out and people played them and voiced their opinions on them? I remember those days.
Finally, it's dying for real this time. I was embarassed as a pokefan to daily visit palshit threads on Ganker and tell everyone that "it's over"... those shitheads + bots delayed the inevitable
The shit is averaging 1.3 million users a day well above all the other games on steam and we'rethree weeks out, what the hell is this autistic cope
The player count must increase every day.
I am still playing offline. I am having fun. Sorry if you got filtered or/and own a PS/Nintendo.
It's been long enough that people have finished the raids, capturing every pal, max level base etc. so there's nothing left to do until the big update.
d-does any anon have latest pokemon game's steam numbers?
I don't fricking care about Steam numbers. I'm enjoying it.
it's not the kind of game I'd play but it still sold more than your shitty PS5 exclusives and generated more profits due to smaller dev team and marketing costs 🙂
I fricking love how much seethe this tiny game generates among AAA subhumans, I hope all games that hire hollywood pedophiles for voice acting end up not being profitable and we go back to the good old days of proper animations and not shitty mocap
That's still A FRICK TON
Realistically, won't the number fluctuate?
No, they must always rise.
how much does the newest AAA sloppa have?
Of course not. I got to write "I was here!" in the chat when my favorite streamer did the funny thing.
I'm just waiting for them to fix the catch rate bug.
Dunno, do you feel stupid posting on Ganker?
Why does every single thread with a chart NEED to get 500 posts? Holy shit you all are literal NPCs, somehow you always manage to have a long discussion about the numbers no matter what they are
I'm an arpg player so I enjoy numbers, especially bing ones... sorry I can't help it.
I thought I’d join in on a revolution and form some good memories.
No, it wasn’t fun and confirmed zoomer trash as I expected but it was worth a shot. Wasn’t that much out of my pocket.
How does the game having 2 millions or 100 players make it stop existing?
I played singleplayer this entire time.
I could have been the only person who bought the game and I would have still enjoyed it.
You are a literal moron.

>game consistently keeps being #1 steam
>game consistently gets at least 1mil concurrent players daily
>while newly launched and more popular titles don't even get close to that
The game is a success, why are you losers still pretending it's a failure and is dying?
I don't even play it, but at least I'm not braindead enough to not accept the reality.
You're not fooling anyone, palchud.
Everyone knows they're botting the numbers.
>Everyone knows they're botting the numbers.
>still using this cope
the numbers are too inconsistent to be botting, and the devs were basically bankrupt at launch, they couldn't afford botting to this extent
It still didn't beat pubg.
It bombed.
Because they dared go against daddy nintendo.
it's 10% mad nintendo fans, 60% Ganker shitposters who don't care either way and just like to start shit and get (You)'s, and 30% that actually play the game
I check every day at the same time for fun, it always goes down by 100k, seems to steadily go down
Got a hundred hours in and it was a ton of fun.
Ready to make another play-through in half a year when they had some more shit.
Pretty good deal for twenty bucks.
Oh no my 25$ piece of entertainment can’t entertain me for 9000 hours. Money literally stolen
>FOTM popularity wanes as time passes
Stop the fricking presses
the palsloptroon cope session is lasting longer than palworlds FOTW status
>decide to pirate this shit
>2h later I am already bored
Jesus frick, this game is GARBAGE! I know that Game Freaks is also trash, but really? Palworld has no story? No Pal trainers to battle your Pals so you got a reason to actually level them? Nothing to do other than building a base and catching the creatures?
It is LITERALLY JUST ARK with bootleg Pokemons! Its also hilarious that the game unironically uses Breath of the Wild sound effects, as well as climbing system, paragliding, etc etc.
I am baffled that they just straight up copied Ark Survival, BoTW, and inserted fake mons to be captured. I am by no means defending Shitendo and Shit Freaks mediocre games, but Palworld did not deserve to sell 20M copies.
Hell, it isnt worth even 1M copies! This game screams Early Access, and it gotta be chinese too, considering how it steals everything from other games.
Well Ganker loves Open-World Early access survival crafting games with no story, music and atmosphere. Anything else is commie slop!
the climbing system was in conan exiles (which is itself just ark) before it was in breath of the wild.
Agreed except for
>no story
This is a good thing, frick your movies, these are video games.
>It is LITERALLY JUST ARK with bootleg Pokemons!
Yes?
You vastly underestimate how starved for not utterly dogshit games pokémon fans are.
After 2 decades of GF "products", even this will feel like the best thing ever.
But Ark itself is dogshit.
New Pokemon games can't possibly be THAT bad.
>New Pokemon games can't possibly be THAT bad.
You have no idea how much suffering it is to be a pokégay.
Oh my dear friend. If you only knew
They are worse than anything you can reasonably imagine.
The only thing that saved the franchise's games (up until now) was that any Pokémon-ish project was led by an autist who only wanted to make a direct copy-paste gameplay-wise and fricked up the artstyle.
Palworld success is 100% on *not* giving a shit about keeping a game design that was created mostly due the original GB's hardware limitations, and they nailed the artstyle emulation instead of trying to go artsy-fartsy on it.
>keeping a game design that was created mostly due the original GB's hardware limitations,
This is a fricking moronic argument that always gets thrown around at turn based RPGs by morons that just want to turn everything into generic action games
Gamefreak Black, I have no problem playing turn-based games.
Pokémon's is just fricking ancient and subpar. Even something like Grandia who got released the year after is massively better.
Also it's not only about the combat system. Pokémon are just lifeless outside of battles.
There should be pokémon doing pokémon shit all around you, be it in towns or in the wilds.
Right now they only ever exist as random-encounter material or "press X to pet the dog" stuff.
>line must go up forever
yeah that isn't happening and that's ok
Oh, it's this thread again
If you want a more "mature" version of Palworld, just play Conan Exiles, it's basically the same game.
Your slaves don't actually run around doing real work in Conan Exiles, you're basically just attaching a figurine to workbench for a small speed boost.
>still the most played game on steam
>still the best selling game on steam
I'm about to buy it. I pirated it yesterday and played it all day. Now I want to give Pocketpair my money.
dagasi draw it
thats all I need
Does it really need to go over 2 Million again? Honestly
How many people are even playing Pokémon right now?
israeli Steam suppressing the real numbers
THE NUMBERS AHHH I CANT ENJOY A GAME WITHOUT IT BEING NUMBER 1
Nah I had fun
The only one winning is Jinping dominating the market with whatever slop the government wants to. Burgers are slaves.
Palworld is japanese you moron
Palworld is played by the chinese you moronic nog
Palworld is played by south americans actually
Nope, not even a little bit. Waiting for the game and official servers to stabilize then I'm sinking my teeth right back into it. Maybe after 3 more updates and when the player base is 100-200k. Perfect time to dive back in.
wheres the mods to add kemoshota peepee to the pals

Most of those are... not great. Especially the ones for gays, which isn't really a surprise.
isn't this a single player game?
Objectively it is, but it has a multiplayer mode and both public & hosted servers so salty Anons like to threat its playercount as if it was an MMO.
Honestly it's surprising it took people that long to run out of content, the thing is really unfinished past level 30.
I pirated it and could play online on the official servers. Why would you spend money on FOMO?
You people are impossible to please
Where are Pokemon's concurrent player stats? Hidden? Curious 🙂
They'll come back once pvp becomes a thing. Nothing else is coming out this year anyway.
I've only been playing solo and am still having fun. Why should whether or not a gorillion homosexuals or whatever are still playing affect my experience?
I've spent more hours playing Palworld and than I have any single Pokemon game.
combined
I still remember how pubg hitting 1M was the biggest thing that happened in pc gaming at the time.
By this logic, you only play games that have higher than 2m players?
It's currently the number one game on Steam, ahead of Counterstrike. Who cares if the absolute numbers are down if the relative position is the same. But also
>single player game
>number one on steam
Like, why does no one question how absurd this is?
okay analytics bro. Since we want numbers lets pull up the cesspool that is Twitch
Show me Pokemon Scarlet/Violet numbers
>Twitch
I knew palsloppers were zoomies who didn't even play videogames lmao
>It's never going above 2 million again
>Still gets 1m
Okay?
There is an easy way to find out whether or not something is organic.
e621 wins again!
It's even sadder there
Yeah e621 doesn't allow AI art.
This, unironically. Being a niche porn artist is a cutthroat industy. You either draw what people actually want to see or you lose commissions and paypigs.
it's pretty fun tho
I play it with 1 other person. What the frick do I care if others are playing it or not?
Too late, homosexual, Palworld has become one of my favorite games of all time, and to think it is on an unfinished state, full power Palworld will be GOAT.
>on an unfinished state
ESL...
Is the ESL on the room right now?
This game was so fun when it had 2,000,000 concurrent players. Now it's only at 700,000 and honestly I can't even anymore.
Ironically enough (or perhaps not) the playerbase drop coincides with my own experience of quitting. The game is full of SOVL when you're first starting out, but as soon as you hit the 30s it comes to a screeching halt as you have to farm material to craft material to craft production buildings to craft material to craft pokeballs/ammo/equipment. Doesn't help that capture rates are so fricking low and effigies don't even work so the grind is artificially extended by forcing you to waste tons of pokeballs until you get legends and even then it's a shitshow.
Yeah.
It's time to finish one or two shit here and there, and then drop the game and check it again in a year or something.
There is only so much you can get out of something in early access.
I'm
and I will agree it's not perfect, when you're in the later game it does become somewhat unfocused and while it's surprisingly slick for an early access game, it IS still early access and unfinished.
I maintain that I can still have fun with it as is, but I do hope that they have some plan to improve on it now they've had such a large influx of players to give feedback.
I view these things as early access issues. Presumably with the feedback from players they'll reduce the grindy elements. There's already structures for producing rocks and wood. It wouldn't be too hard to make one for ore, as well as make charcoal double as coal for producing ingots. At that point they could just reduce the production times and you'd have a system where your base could fully automate sphere production in a reasonable amount of time.
It was really fun to see the game peak and then bleed 100k players a day for a week because people did everything worth doing in it or just were in on it for the memes and quickly moved on.
It's probably not gonna drop that many each day now, but it will keep dropping.
>YES YES YES LOOK AT THE NUMBERS PALCHADS STAY WINNING FRICK NINTENBABIRS
>What? The steam numbers have gone down? Uh... I-I had my fun, so what? It's not a popularity contest
Erm... Awkward!
This is exactly why it's important to mock palgays, they got too smug and bought on their own hype too hard, gotta snack them back to reality
Not really, I enjoyed the game and still play it. It's goofy fun with cute creatures.
Good for the devs for being successful but even if they went bankrupt tomorrow I've still enjoyed it and can continue to enjoy it (singleplayer, no idea how the online servers function with it)
I dropped Palworld for Final Fantasy V. The transition made me realize that I was on a treadmill and not really having fun.
The hardcore have already beaten the game. The only people left are the casuals and the hardcore that want to do autistic shit like breed 100 of the same pokemon to get perfect IVs and Skills.
can be played offline
these numbers dont mean anything
maybe if it were an mmo i guess but it isnt
More than microtransactions, battle passes, whatever, the worst thing I've seen in my decades is homosexuals obsessed with player counts.
Go eat a bullet you absolute fricking clown.
Half of this games playerbase is Chinese. That should tell you everything that needs to be known
>country with thr highest population in thre world is going to be overrepresented in any stats that aren't adjusted per capita
Wow! High school level statistics are amazing!
Get fricked paljeets.
Get fricked.
>hate modern Pokemon and wished for it to improve
>Palworld comes out, a garbage ARK clone that everyone praised as the Pokemon killer
>end up looking forward to future Pokemon games instead
Why did you turn me into this Ganker
