I don't give a shit about the game itself, I'm only annoyed at the coordinated spam it received and how mods allowed it to happen because Hiro was paid off. The internet was a mistake.
It's a by the numbers survival game with notPokemon slapped onto it. Gameplay is a shallow grind carried entirely by somewhat decent monster designs and streamer virality. Seems like the only discussion the game garners is sales or being a pokemon killer(lol). Best part about the game is petting Petallia.
Finally, can't wait to actually talk about the game itself once it's done being a phenomenon. Literally impossible to actually have any meaningful discussion about shit like this when it sees unprecedented levels of success.
third worlders being contrarian to own nintendo because reasons, even though I highly doubt gamefreak will do literally anything in response to palworld
>praise the game in any regard or simply say you enjoy it >get dogpiled by a dozen people
The obvious answer is that any opinion you post online no matter what stance you take will be subjected to rampant shitposting.
not him but I was bored as shit while playing it. Dropped it at level 25. I dont know how people find catching the same shit over and over to level is fun. Game needs trainers who give exp so leveling up isn't sleep inducing.
Well you see, there is EXCEEDINGLY little actual "game" or content, especially if you were to take out the shit you've done 100 times in other games. All it has is the designs of the creatures and the memes people make screenshotting/drawing funny things..
Whereas other games have people actually playing the game, MOST of Palworld's discussion is basically meta stuff like horny posting and shitting on pokegays. As it is now, Palworld is just like a waifu/meme collector with dogshit combat mechanics. Modern pokemon games may be utterly dogshit but at least pokemon combat is a functioning system. The AI in palworld is so moronic that a 4 year old can learn how to abuse it in seconds.
>A shitpost thread about player numbers a month out from release with a fake OP pic is 'criticism' now
Really?
That's the best you've got for """criticism"""?
>You can't have any criticisms about this game without a dozen fans dogpiling you
I love seeing this particular line shitposted to every single thread on this board regardless of game.
>noooo people must play this game forever!!! it only has 30 hours of playtime, wtf!! it needs to be replayable for 1000000000 hours like my competitive esports slop!!!!
People didn't honestly believe this vapourware form game was going to stick around right? I mean, PC gamers bandwagon on shit fiercely. We know this. Palworld is just another flash in the pan that will be forgotten in 2 months from now.
One day anon.
One day this won't be fake.
But that day is not today.
It also might not be for a while, the player count has started stablilizing, less and less of a drop every day.
And you remain, as usual, a massive homosexual.
WoW is extremely seasonal. The playerbase is jaded and regularly unsubbing but they keep getting sucked back in for the new patch/new expansion, convinced that it will finally be fun.
No. This is just a shitposting thread anon.
Generally speaking even with GAAS games, where the whole point is to trick people into sticking around as long as possible, you're doing spectacular if you can keep even 20 percent of your peak player numbers a couple of months out from launch.
Most games struggle to keep even 5-10 percent of their peak player numbers 6-12 months later.
It's extremely rare for games to maintain their peak for more than a week. Like you said, people play the game, finish it (or at least, finish WITH it, in the case of people who don't actually beat the game) and move on.
WoW is extremely seasonal. The playerbase is jaded and regularly unsubbing but they keep getting sucked back in for the new patch/new expansion, convinced that it will finally be fun.
See also games like POE, which has huge spikes in playercount at league start that drop to 25-50% of the peak within 30 days, and 10-20% of the peak within 60 days.
Survival crafters usually aren't "beten" autismcore that powers those communities plays forever. Look at Minecraft gettign millions playing every day for over a decade.
your desperate samegayging attempts are getting pretty pathetic, eslBlack person
you can't even fake the charts properly (500k as i'm typing this and the game never dipped below 375k)
Console-mind and Nintendy cant fathom the concept of playing more games.
Also, this is EA, so more people will return to play when a juicy-update drops.
these guys earned notch tier payday already you goddamn morons. might as well be 0 players it doesnt matter, they already cashed out and dont have to do shit until the end of their lives
Call me loco in the coco but it's almost as if it was an early access game and with only 20 hours you'd experience most of the game that has to offer as of now.
Don't forget that Steam charts is global meaning it counts countries like Japan and China. Tencent is probably investing a lot of money to artificially inflate the numbers of this game and there's a reason for that.
Tower of Fantasy is dead so that's a huge blow to their revenue. They also tried and failed to buy Genshin in 2020.
>people got bored of the flavor of the week Ark + pokemon with guns game
This shouldn't be surprising but it is still funny to see people melting over this. You just know among the shitposting there is someone who actually liked this shit lmao.
Isn't it obvious that it was going to be another zoomer fotm that evaporates in a month? Last time it was the finals, now palworld, who knows what comes next. Maybe NYC israelite tunnel simulator.

>still 280k
I know one bloated studio that spent 300 million that would kill for those numbers.
morons it's fake
put your phone down, eslBlack person.
we get it, you learned how to use inspect element.
I beat the flower girl boss and now im moving my main base to the western island. There is a comfy forest that comes out on a beach with some sulfur.
Gonna start exploring the island but even with the heat resistant armor i still die in the lava area.
Do i need to unlock the actual level 40? upgraded heat armor or am i doing something wrong?
People are so fake, they pretended Palworld was the game of the gen, yet if failed in less than a month, I laugh at how fake people are.
Given that most fake people are either normies or trannies, I laugh double at that.
There are 4 bosses and a tech tree, once you’ve finished levelling the tree and killed the bosses your average player will stop, then you’ve just got people who are breeding or base building autists but I don’t know if those systems are robust enough to keep them interested
Youtube scene for this seams non-existant from my glances. Only vids that i saw in trending were people talking about twitter controversies and some IGN style gaming site doing a poll where 93% of respondants didn't play it, 80% of which didn't intend to even try
flavor of the month. nothing new here, saw it coming a mile away and refunded a long time ago. I found it more fun to more fun to larp as a palworld player on Ganker than actually playing the game itself.
Don't smile because it is over
Cry because it happened
literally the second most played game on Steam at this very moment, just barely behind CS2.
streamers were a mistake
how many meds that you have been prescribed aren't you taking right now?
If it doesn't get up to a million this weekend then it's actually dying

Streamer flavour of the month game dies
I love zoomers
>Ganker wants everyone to play 1 game forever like the good devs want them to
what gacha you guys playin?
I don't give a shit about the game itself, I'm only annoyed at the coordinated spam it received and how mods allowed it to happen because Hiro was paid off. The internet was a mistake.
Hi smashgay

As if spamming "super effective" moves is any better.
hahahahaha there are less people playing eldin ring
eldin ring as a homosexual failure
Finally, can't wait to actually talk about the game itself once it's done being a phenomenon. Literally impossible to actually have any meaningful discussion about shit like this when it sees unprecedented levels of success.
Why does a funny shitpost joke game have such a militant fanbase? You can't have any criticisms about this game without a dozen fans dogpiling you
third worlders being contrarian to own nintendo because reasons, even though I highly doubt gamefreak will do literally anything in response to palworld
>praise the game in any regard or simply say you enjoy it
>get dogpiled by a dozen people
The obvious answer is that any opinion you post online no matter what stance you take will be subjected to rampant shitposting.
You just need to accept its a popular fun game and all that anger inside you will vanish.
Basically cope
Does this make it immune to criticism?
post your criticism and watch how nobody cares enough to dogpile you, you sensationalist little shit
not him but I was bored as shit while playing it. Dropped it at level 25. I dont know how people find catching the same shit over and over to level is fun. Game needs trainers who give exp so leveling up isn't sleep inducing.

It's actually over.
POKEGODS ALWAYS WIN, chink copies all lose
Now post Pokemon charts.
>wtf
>only just under a million concurrent players in the past 24h????
>the west has fallen
People didn't honestly believe this vapourware form game was going to stick around right? I mean, PC gamers bandwagon on shit fiercely. We know this. Palworld is just another flash in the pan that will be forgotten in 2 months from now.
>Flavor of the month!!!
>A month later still over 800k daily
>t-two months! It'll be forgotten!!!
Yeah just keep waiting I guess.
You better remember.
How many months is he going to have to remember for? Will you eventually change the phrase to Flavour of Q1?
Legends Arceus is better
this is the game that had 30+ threads spammed every day 2 weeks ago
what the frick happened
Shill money ran out.
People beat the single player game that came out a month ago and moved on?
i thought a cultural phenomenon with hundreds of threads made in a week would have more staying power
Half of its success is due to tendies having a temper tantrum, making it blow up in popularity even more so.
How much staying power scarlet and violet have aside from people laughing at subhumans paying 140$ for kusoge and #thankyougamefreak?
One day anon.
One day this won't be fake.
But that day is not today.
It also might not be for a while, the player count has started stablilizing, less and less of a drop every day.
And you remain, as usual, a massive homosexual.
>It also might not be for a while, the player count has started stablilizing, less and less of a drop every day.
Yeah it's converging on the number of computers in the chinese botfarm they have running the game.
The game is Japanese though?
>game comes out
>people play it and beat it
>stop playing it
Is there some game out there with infinite growth I don't know about?
WoW is probably the closest thing right? Not growth but extreme stability. Though it finally started to die awhile ago.
started to die awhile ago
>check date
>wotlk was 16 years ago
holy shit
that is indeed a while...
WoW is extremely seasonal. The playerbase is jaded and regularly unsubbing but they keep getting sucked back in for the new patch/new expansion, convinced that it will finally be fun.
Paradox games
t. 4000+ hrs over 3 different paradox games
>4k hours over 3 games
nta but it's cute that you think this is impressive and that it equates to infinite growth
I never said it was impressive, I've just never played any other game that long
No. This is just a shitposting thread anon.

>800k concurrent players means the game is dead.
Man when did mental illness take over Ganker?
>800K HAHAHA PALWORLD IS DEAD
Meanwhile me playing Fallout 76 with only 5k people on, and the game keeps getting support.
Whales will keep that shit running for decades
Still doing infinitely kek better than Microsoft's premiere, generation defining FPS.
don't drag halo fans into your shitposting
haven't we suffered enough already...
since you're a fan, care to explain what happened and what you HOPED would happen?
The good news is that they fired the all the trannies am I correct?
they're all on console and game pass moron
palworld is on gamepass too moronic Black person. paworld has atleast 10million active players on gamepass.
The official number was 7 million on xbox/gamepass from their last player update. I suppose it could have hit 10 million by now though.
your desperate samegayging attempts are getting pretty pathetic, eslBlack person
you can't even fake the charts properly (500k as i'm typing this and the game never dipped below 375k)

cope lol
>sunk 20 hours into it from launch to now
>cant find myself to put more time into it
>bored of it already
what went wrong...seriously
these guys earned notch tier payday already you goddamn morons. might as well be 0 players it doesnt matter, they already cashed out and dont have to do shit until the end of their lives
This literally a 4-day game content wise.
This was supposed to be the Pokémon killer but it ended up like Fallguys
It already killed Pokemon.
Enjoy the next year slop and buy Pokemon Feed or Seed at 60 $ with broken grafix and sameshit.
Call me loco in the coco but it's almost as if it was an early access game and with only 20 hours you'd experience most of the game that has to offer as of now.
>Average palworld doomposter
>16 likes
>above 1 k views
I dont need to see the downvotes, kek.
>average palworld fan
That you Harman? Go back to coping on youtube.
This your pokemon killer? absolutely fricking pathetic
I guess gayfreaks won't have an incentive to make non dogshit games after all, shame
Don't forget that Steam charts is global meaning it counts countries like Japan and China. Tencent is probably investing a lot of money to artificially inflate the numbers of this game and there's a reason for that.
Tower of Fantasy is dead so that's a huge blow to their revenue. They also tried and failed to buy Genshin in 2020.
>I pretend to be moronic for (You)'s
here you go idiot have one for free now shut up and at least try to make the post funny next time
Fake bullshit.
Here's the real numbers.
>people got bored of the flavor of the week Ark + pokemon with guns game
This shouldn't be surprising but it is still funny to see people melting over this. You just know among the shitposting there is someone who actually liked this shit lmao.
Nintendo always wins.
>from 2,1 million to 200 thousand players in a single week
impressive, this might unironically be the fastest dying video game.
Not even close.
>tricked by OP, a notorious liar and gay
lol
what a moron
yeah Lethal company? what's that?
yeah Palworld? what's that?
Um, sweety?
>"this is what gaymers want, take notes gamefre-...ack!"
put your phone down, eslBlack person.
we get it, you learned how to use inspect element.
>Oh no, it's only the most popular game on steam for like a month straight!
The line must always go up.
>still 280k
I know one bloated studio that spent 300 million that would kill for those numbers.
Isn't it obvious that it was going to be another zoomer fotm that evaporates in a month? Last time it was the finals, now palworld, who knows what comes next. Maybe NYC israelite tunnel simulator.
NO NO NO PALSISTERS WHAT DO WE DO??
morons it's fake
>less than 1/4 of peak and still dropping
ouch, bigger they are harder they fall i guess
I beat the flower girl boss and now im moving my main base to the western island. There is a comfy forest that comes out on a beach with some sulfur.
Gonna start exploring the island but even with the heat resistant armor i still die in the lava area.
Do i need to unlock the actual level 40? upgraded heat armor or am i doing something wrong?
I'm not worried Palworld 2, 3, 4 etc will reinvigorate the series by being the same, like... Pokemon.
The numbers have dropped because people have already beat it by now. Are you fricking moronic?
*dabs and pisses on you're grave*
nothing personal, paltrannies
People are so fake, they pretended Palworld was the game of the gen, yet if failed in less than a month, I laugh at how fake people are.
Given that most fake people are either normies or trannies, I laugh double at that.
It didn't fail, people just beat the game. You think that number was seriously going to stay at 2mil?
How do you beat unfinished early access survival multiplayer slop? Does it even have an ending?
Yeah
There are 4 bosses and a tech tree, once you’ve finished levelling the tree and killed the bosses your average player will stop, then you’ve just got people who are breeding or base building autists but I don’t know if those systems are robust enough to keep them interested
You beat them by making them beat the enemy in sales. Our hard community effort paid off!
Yes.
Youtube scene for this seams non-existant from my glances. Only vids that i saw in trending were people talking about twitter controversies and some IGN style gaming site doing a poll where 93% of respondants didn't play it, 80% of which didn't intend to even try
Because the steam chart numbers are massively inflated by bots
There is at most 30k actual people playing this right now
flavor of the month. nothing new here, saw it coming a mile away and refunded a long time ago. I found it more fun to more fun to larp as a palworld player on Ganker than actually playing the game itself.
Nice, another steam chart schizo thread
