Try again.
So basically, Palworld is Pokemon for people who got filtered about by the multiplayer and want somewhere where they can farm without getting their asses raped.

Yokai Watch and Digimon were several orders of magnitude better than this, this one isn't even a JRPG.
But you didn't buy them, that's the difference. Meanwhile lots of kids will see "POKEMON, BUT WITH GUUUUUNS" and buy it
You should have bought Digimon Survive
>But you didn't buy them, that's the difference
I only bought Yokai Watch once, but I do keep buying Digimon.
Digimon is the only franchise of these type that knows what it's doing.

Both of those games have garbage turn based combat like pokemon so dont like those are any better.

It's not unique, it's just Pokemon is a JRPG, it's not an action game, just like FIFA is a soccer game, or Call of Duty a first person shooter, or Ace Combat an arcade jet fighter game.

I common pattern I keep seeing here is that this is mostly people who got filtered out by Pokemon's multiplayer and go >NOOO PLEASE CHANGE IT TO FARMING AND THIRD PERSON SHOOTING, I'M TIRED OF GETTING RAPED BECAUSE I CAN'T TEAM BUILD FOR SHIT
>Level5
Theer's your answer, anything else is a lie. Level 5 never lets their IPs grow before wringing them out to dry. I recommend looking up all of their projects they made.
Prior to the recent revival L5 was near bankruptcy and had canceled all english translations to save costs. Then something happened and they managed to come back in full force, so EN translations are back on the table.
I can't believe how vtubers have so much impact on advertisement. Not saying the game itself isn't that interesting to begins with but dam those vtubers really put this on radar.
Low expectations + streamer hype works wonders, but the opposite end just hurts games. Look at starfield, it had crazy high expectations and streamers just showed how disappointing the game is.
>I can't believe how vtubers have so much impact on advertisement
Streamers have been the go to advertisers for years now. They're cheaper than the tv ads that no one watches nowadays and lots of kids and teens have a parasocial relationship with them and thus 'trust' them. If anything they prove how overblown the marketing budget on most things is
>If anything they prove how overblown the marketing budget on most things is
If anything they prove how easily-influenced the populace is. That's why they call them "influencers". They rub it in our faces how much like cattle we are, and now it's just the term we've come to accept.
Way better than Balding Troon 3, Basedderman 2, everything Shitendo has been putting out, etc etc. This is a huge improvement over what the industry has been buying lately.
I know these are all bait threads but I hope this does kill pokemon or at least show people what it could be in terms of 3D monster collector games. I've hated the franchise since ORAS and feel like Gamefreak has been coasting off the name for a fricking decade.
I'm going to buy this entirely out of spite for Gamefreak because I can't personally tell them how much I'm disappointed in their laziness. Probably won't even play it because frick open world survival games.
>this is bait thread! >post bait post
btw this will not show nothing about monster collecting because it's a Ark clone not poke one. But you already know it right?
A lot of morons on here have nothing going for them outside of being right on the internet. The game being this big on launch proves them wrong and also forces them to grasp at straws for cope.
Pokemon fans don't want any other monster collecting games to exist, they want Pokemon. Anything that is even a minor threat towards it, even if it is a franchise as minor as Digimon or Monster Rancher, attracts its fanbase and encourages them to just talk shit.
Is it really, though? Has anyone done any digging into this company? Everything they make feels so Chinese. Wouldn't surprise me if their company was just a front and they truly are Chinese.
Chinks can, it's just really rare since it requires giving effort and not just blindly trimming someone else's work without even trying to understand why it works.
thats just a toon shader kemono. not 3d monsters. when non japanese try to make it, the facial expressions always gonna be strange or awkward. these monsters in palworld dont have such awkwardness, are genuine japanese stuff.
If gayfreaks literally shat themselves out of sheer primordial terror from the absolute nothingburger that was Yokai Watch, so much that they even ripped it off, what are they going to do now? add guns to the next pokemon game?
this sadly
but i dont care about pokemon anymore, that franchise is dead to me
roco kingdom and dokev look far more promising and this will keep me busy until those two release
Yokai watch did sell more than pokemon at one point. That's the key piece of info everyone conveniently forgets. So until this matches up with yokai watch gamefreak won't even care or know it exists.
>Yokai watch did sell more than pokemon at one point.
Only in Japan. Pokemon still blew it out of the water worldwide, so Yokai Watch still didn't come anywhere close to Pokemon.
Because they're mega racist. Your money is worth less because you're not Japanese, they don't want your money. Like whites who would rather die than get operated on by a black surgeon, there's no logic to it. They'd rather lose money and region-lock all their games forever than take your money.

>literally shat themselves out of sheer primordial terror
where? in what they ripped yw off? the first game out after yokai was sun/moon and has the same formula as always.
This proves people are highly interested in an open world Pokemon game that isn't a story driven turn based JRPG. That's the baseline of what they should be learning from this, because that's the main reason I am interested in it.
They also should learn that making your game look good, have good animations, be optimized and bug tested, and to allow a lot of player freedom will make your game more attractive to new players... however it's Gamefreak we're talking about, lmao.
Good for them. Although I do get the feeling there will be some backlash when people find out they got tricked into playing Ark instead of edgy Pokemon clone.
Turn based combat was always great, the shitty aspect of old RPGs was random encounters. Skies of Arcadia is nearly unplayable nowadays, but Chrono Trigger aged like fine wine because it's encounters are scripted.
Why the frick do you disingenuous homosexuals keep comparing average jrpg combat ro BG3? It has no random encounters, doesn't warp to a featureless battlefield, where you fight actually matters because of terrarian and other environmental factors, an actual interesting class system and near every item being able to be used in some fashion in combat.
Lmao. Turn based combat is a crutch since programming and designing actual combat takes more work and effort, but A LOT of people do not enjoy it. This is really what you should be learning from the success of Palworld, people want a real-time combat Pokemon game.
Because they can fit inside your pocket and cost practically nothing to make? What the frick kind of dumbass question is this.

Cards are popular because they are a cheap way to pass the time or to gamble money with. Gambling in particular is the big reason people like cards.
However the reason you and me right now are sitting in "Ganker - Video Games" and not "/c/ - Card Games" is because Cards are an extremely fricking BLAND and repetitive way to pass the time if you are not actively willing to lose a lot of money on them, compared to Video Games that offer a significantly more entertaining experience than Card games. Video games with Cards in them are SHIT and completely fricking pointless unless you're sitting on a gambling website.

The only reason I'm on besides shitposting is to talk about Yugioh, DD2 and Palworld.
Nah that ain't it,both the sex and porn in games is beyond cringe , there's actual good shit on r34 and other sites
Is it really a shocker that people like turn bases games?
Yes, if they didn't include zoophilia and gay sex in BG3 it would've been just another shitty CRPG that nobody cares about like every single one that came before it
This should be a lesson to game devs that if they want their games to succeed, they need to have all kinds of degenerate porn fetishes in them because that's what zoomers are into these days
It will sell 3 million on pure Pokemon-spite alone. Then 2 million big name streamers play it on shitstorm streams and they call it GOTY when they do slave labor and shoot down a Pal with a shotgun. And then quickly forgotten because people find out it's an Ark-clone and the grind is just as bad.
I fully expect to see Nintendo pulling a few ideas from it (obviously not butching your pokemon or giving them guns, but something like the in-world combat looking a frickton better than how SV did it for example), but there's no way a multi-billionaire 30 years old franchise is going to die because of Ark with Pokemon elements.
I think people here are really understimating this game. People have been asking for a pokemon open world/mmo since forever. This could turn into something huge if the developer plays its cards right. Just look at pokemon go.
>game peaked at 26k on launch in 2020 >immediately falls to 3k players next month and stays there for the next 3 years, can't pass 3k >release some update in june 2023 making the player count jump to 10k >player numbers are now here

>early access >Unity/Genshin artstyle >sameface anime characters
Honestly whether you like the game or not this should be a huge wake up call for all you indie devs out there who want to make literally anything and have it take off so you can just retire. Appeal to autistic sexually degenerate furries. Throw in a few anime girls and bam. Market the game all over social media posting anthro characters. I would burn every animal fricker if I could. Just look at how many of these threads actually talk about the game itself or gameplay. It's about the stupid fricking furry creatures and waifus. Any pokemon thread is the same thing. Im so fricking tired
It's about identifying a niche and then filling it. Stardew Valley is a great example of this. People wanted a decent harvest moon game on PC and it delivered.
There's still an unfilled niche for Terraria in space. Starbound merely promised it and sold a shit ton on that lie alone despite being complete garbage. Whoever takes the ideas from that game and actually delivers is going to be filthy fricking rich.
As of now I'd say fun but not worth it. Though since it's Early Access that might change for better or worse in half 6 months to a year from EA launch.
Honestly this game is exactly what I wanted out of a 3D pokemon game for years. I don't even have that high standards but I still do have standards.
All they needed to do was make the Pokemon something more than balls of stats with 3 different canned animation and they'd have the happiest fanbase in all of gaming. But they can't even get that right. They've started to get the memo with S/V but it's too little too late.
If it wasn't using the unoptimized resource hog that is ue5 and you could at least opt to take one of your pals and/or inve tory with you server to server insyead of always having to start from scratch then I'd have a much higher opinion on it.
Sell me on this game, it seems like a scuffed pokemon with Rust combat and base building
What is the goal of the player? is there an end game? What is there to do?
the only aspect pulling me in would be playing with a friend, that's literally it
Each mon can play a different role in automating your base. Water types water crops, plant types plant them. Some mons can craft, some can haul, some can mine. They're all different in terms of how they can be useful. So there's motivation to go out and fight and explore and catch dudes because you need them to automate stuff. On top of that you just have constant quest tasks to do that let you upgrade your base and have more pals work there. Plus there's just going out and fighting and leveling up so that you can get new stuff from the tech tree either for your base or character or pals.
>Sell me on this game, it seems like a scuffed pokemon with Rust combat and base building
The devs are inspired by Rimworld and want this game to be like a 3d Rimworld but with Pokemon. Also the devs have a pretty good sense of humor and are well aware of why people like their game.
On the fence about this, does the game have a story? One of the trailers had a girl that looked like Nessa but the stream I watched was mostly hitting rocks and rarely fighting wild pokemon.
No story, just lore droplets in the form of items scattered around the world. Presumably a story can be added later on, since this game is still early access.
think the addition of guns is lame but honestly, when I was a kid growing up in 98/99, I envisioned pokemon games looking somewhat like this in the future, instead Gamefreak churned out games that were basically clones of Blue and Red for the next 30 years. God what a bunch of lazy c**ts, especially considering how much money they have and what they have the resources to create by now.
Ia the performance dogshit like in Craftopia or have they improved? I liked craftopia but had to drop it because it just ran like ass no matter the settings (even upgraded my cpu + gpu)
As someone who purchased Craftopia thinking it was going to be a good ripoff of BotW but on PC you're all about to be sorely fricking disappointed
It took me literally this long to realize I had been scammed
>As someone who purchased Craftopia thinking it was going to be a good ripoff of BotW
Absolutly nothing was indicating that it would be and you still bought it. You shouldn't be allowed handle your own money.
Anybody know if you can move your Palbox around, or how specifically you're supposed to get the workers wander around? I put mine next to a wall for aesthetic purposes, but I think it's blocking the Pals from spawning into my base or spawning them behind it in the cliffside.
Depends >Are you lazy?
Buy it >Are you poor?
Pirate it >Are you unsure if you will like it and just want to make an informed decision
Pirate it, then consider if you want to buy it.
the simple consensus is that you pirate first to see if you like it, then buy it if you do.
aka; demo the game. which many companies who are fighting piracy for are genuinely missing.
Game has the same visual cohesion as a gmod darkrp server for furries. It looks really gay and im certain this is another fotw over advertised slop survival game like Ark or Valheim
Same, but it's still more visually pleasing to look at then Scarlet and Violet. I have no idea what crack they were smoking when they opted to change the style in the worst way possible.
Really showed in gen 8 with some whack designs near the end of Turner's stay at the company, and it's like the dude they replaced him with thought his new designs weren't even THAT whack and took it further.
The anime look is very problematic for normalhomosexuals, prease undastando. That's why we made like 90% of the characters androgynous or masculine "women" with the most generic Anime™ look possible so the stylization from the previous games wouldn't trigger anyone.
This, I'd rather take no visual cohesion over the normalhomosexual + troony friendly art style and character designs they raped nuPokemon with. They look more like fortnite characters now than the iconic Pokemon anime style.
I'm watching some streamers play it today and tbh it looks way more like an open world survival genshin with pokemon thrown in on the side. I don't this appeals to the same Pokemon fanbase, but rather normies who eat up open world slop games.
I think they can work on a more visual cohesion as the game leaves early access
the important part was getting the basics of what they wanted to do with the game out right now
if it can be fun in EA then the full game could be really good. I haven't played pokemon in years, but Palworld, on a first impression, seems what a pokemon spin off made for adults would look like, if the series decided to "grow (as in age, maturity)" together with its fans
>one million
peak isn't even half that playing at once
interesting
I'm guessing their doing what most shitty devs do and count free keys given away as sales
The character creator is fricking atrocious. I expected a lot of options to create your perfect sadist slaver waifu, but it's just three butt-ugly body sliders made for memes, five female faces (as opposed to a bunch of male ones), and a dozen hair options. I'm so disappointed.
I don’t get the negativity towards this game on Twitter. It’s so harmless, using barely legal Pokémon designs and getting away with it is kind of funny. The game has been in development for 3 years and Nintendo or TPC have said anything about it, I don’t even think they care. The Japanese side of the spectrum are legit eating this game up. I played about 30 minutes with Game Pass and it just felt like a more fun Rust that had Pokémon mod. It’s really just something good to play until Final Fantasy comes out
Is there an extra layer of controversy that I’m missing the context for?
Twitter is tendie central. Theyre probably legit mad about their hecking wholesome childgood ip being made light of/"corrupted" also something something slavery bad
t. Tendie playing this on pc
it's literally like Genshin Impact, it being in Early Access is just a technicality cause it'll never have a "finished" version, it's made to be constantly updated with new content, maps, monsters, etc.
think of it as if pokemon wasnt different games for each new gen, but one big game where each new gen is an update to the game: it will never ever have a "finished" version, cause it's not meant to
read the rest of the post you mongoloid, i didnt say the game itself is like GI, i said the update and new content system is like GI, where it will never be finished and they'll just keep adding maps, regions, and content
OK I'll admit, the shill campaign leaning on the "Pokeyman fans are SEETHING over this" aspect when it's more edgy chinkshit Arkclone is pretty good. Plus who the frick has cared about Pokeyman since Gen 5 anyways.
Temtem died because the devs were moronic and shat on their player base with heavy handed moderation.
If they don't make the same mistake, Palworld will probably maintain decent popularity for a few years, although never Pokemon level.
I'd say the opposite. Temtem just tried to copy Pokemons gameplay with shittier designs.
This one actually nailed the designs and did different gameplay
This game might be the first game I've ever started that had its master volume set to 50 rather than 100, I am pleasantly surprised not to be ear-raped for once.
Let me guess, it's an open world survival crafting game with no locations or points of interest and you need to create your own goals that gets initial hype from streamers and then dies 2 weeks later never to be mentioned again

ironically looks better than 95% of post gen 4 pokemon. Its amazing how gamefreak themselves do not understand how to create pokemon in 15 years. They're pokemon gamefreak not digimon or shit from some trash jarpig.
I hope what with nintendo moving pokemon or wtv to one of their main buildings. That they understand no matter what pokemon will sell. But every non-mainline game gamefreak has not touched. EVEN POKEMON SNAP people have considered absolutely amazing and how shit even switch game has been including the programing. I hope nintendo and creatures inc starts mass firing people and I hope for gen 10 its a return to form much like the god awful anime finally dying. That the cancer the last decade+ of games has been with megas supah dupa moves and all other cringe japanese bullshit hacks come up with is over. Pokemon returns to form, or better yet they make their own version of pokemmo for the switch with gen 1-3&5 along with the new region for gen 10. Its amazing how bad lazy and just shit gamefreak is pokemon is worth billions and here these hacks are able to create complete trash nonstop pokemon is a global brand stop shoving in Japanese only shit no one cares about
>They're pokemon gamefreak not digimon or shit from some trash jarpig.
I don't understand this, Digimon character design would be an improvement for Pokemon, and it's literally a fricking JRPG.
>That the cancer the last decade+ of games has been with megas supah dupa moves and all other cringe japanese bullshit hacks come up with is over
So basically, you are just a westerner who'd like turn Pokemon into some TLOU movie game shit.
I bought this on a whim and was not disappointed. it's ark but actually fun you could do much wrose with a couple of buds on a snowy weekend like this. I hope they keep adding in pals. Delegating the worse parts of survival games to cute A.I was the smartest fricking choice in the world. I don't have to ride around on a fricking beaver for 30 hours only to find my base completely demolished the next day. You can be gays about all you want but the game is great and I can't wait til my buds get home so we can do monkey drive by's.

I was actually shocked to learn this was made by Japanese devs, I fully expected this to be made by some amerimutts.
as much as i find this shit funny, you know damn well after a week or two, people are going to abandoned the game.
usually with the typical "something something no content" excuse.
its the same shit with temtem. that game supposedly had almost everything people wanted in a pokemon game. did pretty well initially and then everyone just fricking dropped it.

This has barely anything to do with Pokemon, even if it sells 50 million Gamefreak will probably continue being shit.
Any form of competition is better than nothing.
Wrong, if anything pokemon shit eaters will feel like they have even more of an incentive to shill and be subservient now that they have an "enemy"
True but if Yokai Watch didn't give them any sense of urgency than Palword won't either.
It gave them enough urgency to completely change the Pokemon Anime and make the Rotom Pokedex a thing
...Which is to say, any sense of urgency that Palworld gives will exclusively be for the worse

homie i just want to shoot cute animals haven't played pokemon since stadium on 64
Setting up sweatshops with cute animals seems a lot more fun than whatever pokemon they released twice this week that is a copy paste of the original.
So basically, Palworld is Pokemon for people who got filtered about by the multiplayer and want somewhere where they can farm without getting their asses raped.
Palworld is Ark for people who used to draw Pikachu smoking a blunt
> Palworld is Pokemon for people who got filtered about by the multiplayer and want somewhere where they can farm without getting their asses raped.
Pokemon's multiplayer is complete low-effort easy mode shit literal toddlers can get full ranks on raids. Palworld is just a reskin of rust with a pokemon mod.
>Rust
Just say Ark, anon. It's literally Ark but with dinosaurs replaced with Pals.
>Pokemon's multiplayer is complete low-effort easy mode shit literal toddlers can get full ranks on raids
>raids
I'm talking about PvP, who the frick considers raids as the multiplayer?
Raids are literally the most popular gamemode LOL
that's why Gamefreak are morons for not capitalizing on this before someone else did.
>Raids are literally the most popular gamemode LOL
It's not a game mode, it's just what Game Freak uses as "content" because now every game needs constant shit being released.
Try PvP.
>Gamefreak are morons for not capitalizing on this
Capitalizing on what?
>It's not a game mode
It IS a game mode, THO. It's advertised as one in all of the promo materials, it has a matchmaking system, it's in fact the most popular part of the multiplayer as of this moment.
Try not being a sweaty contrarian.
nta but the fact that Pokemon still doesn't have an equivalent to PokeMMO in the year of our dialga 2024 is just money left on the table to rot. they'll take down every attempt to make a better pokemon but they refuse to make one themselves.
>nta but the fact that Pokemon still doesn't have an equivalent to PokeMMO in the year of our dialga 2024 is just money left on the table to rot
Why bother, Showdown exists and it's free.
>Why bother with items? final destination and Fox are right there
>1v1 sweaty tournament tryharding is the multiplayer
>not multiplayer world exploration
You just described why pokemon multiplayer fricking sucks. It's a game about exploration that pigeonholes the adventuring part into the awful battling system because Gamefreak are lazy morons.
tournament gays are the smelly meleeBlack folk of pokemon
>1v1 sweaty tournament tryharding is the multiplayer
Yes.
>not multiplayer world exploration
What's the point of that.
> It's a game about exploration
No, it's a game about battling, since when has Pokemon rewarded exploration?
Oh look, you got a nugget and a TM for coming back to this place with an HM you didn't have before.
>the awful battling system because Gamefreak are lazy morons
The battling is what holds Pokemon together. Remove it and all you have left is open world Nintendogs.
But not a multiplayer one, hell, you can play them solo.
>Try not being a sweaty contrarian.
Try playing the part of the game that actually requieres thinking.
>not multiplayer world exploration
>What's the point of that.
I'm just convinced tournament nigs don't play the games and are, instead, stuck in the online battle simulator 24/7 because for being all about Pokemon, they seemingly know absolutely fricking nothing about the series and what kind of features it has.
>online battle simulator
The core of the game?
Just saying because running around taking in the sights got old in Ruby.
explorers like us are unfortunately a dying breed
I beg to differ, the success of Legends is proof that we vastly outnumber the people who think Pokemon is about memorizing a spreadsheet. It's Gamefreak that's the problem.
>success of Legends
>outsold by the worst Pokemon remakes
So you have chosen tbh.
owari da, pocketpair-sama
Valheim all over again. All aboard the influencer-led hype train. Enjoy the perpetual early access.
well the developers are excited, they are making a bank and it doesn't matter when the game is sub 1000 players in a few months.
What does that have to do with me and my goal of playing fun video games?
>well the developers are excited
Of course they are. They've sold hundreds of thousands of copies to people that will never play the game.
Copying pokemon and paying e-celebs really paid off.
Those that do play the game are going to find out very quickly it's a shallow piece of shit.
>Valheim all over again.
good, I never bought this low pixel we wuz vikangz shit
Valheim was good at release and is even better now
Absolutely worth twenty USD even if it never got an update past release
Valheim added some content over a 2+ year timeframe and hasn't really improved anything since release.
>the most successful pokeclone is this
Good, all pokeclones literally just copy pokemon 1:1 but have worse designs and battle mechanics, this is something fresh and has a budget behind it
>Pokemon
>Good Battle Mechanics
Yeah, becaue Incineroar being on every team is good game design.

Yokai Watch and Digimon were several orders of magnitude better than this, this one isn't even a JRPG.
But you didn't buy them, that's the difference. Meanwhile lots of kids will see "POKEMON, BUT WITH GUUUUUNS" and buy it
You should have bought Digimon Survive
>But you didn't buy them, that's the difference
I only bought Yokai Watch once, but I do keep buying Digimon.
Digimon is the only franchise of these type that knows what it's doing.
>Both of those games have garbage turn based combat like pokemon
You mean they are JRPGs and have the defining feature of these games, unlike this one which is basically every single early access indie game ever?
Are you seriously trying to pretend that dogshit jrpg tb combat is somehow unique?
It's not unique, it's just Pokemon is a JRPG, it's not an action game, just like FIFA is a soccer game, or Call of Duty a first person shooter, or Ace Combat an arcade jet fighter game.
>lots of kids
you are delusional if you think kids are playing this rn
lmao you have no idea what kids want
I'll say better: right now the people who are playing are grown ass men
Pokemon with guns has been every 12 year old's dream for close to 25 years at this point. If kids aren't treating this as the second coming of fortnite yet, they will once some twitch streamers pick it up

This game in general is also just the perfect Ganker game. Decent gameplay, primo shitpost material, good platform for jokes, lots of stuff to mess with, AA title, etc. Ofcourse it being this timeline Ganker isn't actually full of anons anymore, just discord autists and people who don't like videogames and side with the biggest companies entirely.
It's been a decade and marketeers are still trying to pull off the

No. That was Yokai Watch.
If Yokai Watch is so successful than why is Level5 not bringing the games West any more?
Being the most successful pokeclone doesn't necessarily mean it had to stay successful.
>Level5
Theer's your answer, anything else is a lie. Level 5 never lets their IPs grow before wringing them out to dry. I recommend looking up all of their projects they made.
>than why is Level5 not bringing the games West any more?
Ghost Craft and the rest of their upcoming games have been revealed globally.
Prior to the recent revival L5 was near bankruptcy and had canceled all english translations to save costs. Then something happened and they managed to come back in full force, so EN translations are back on the table.
yokai watch probably
because this is the only pokeclone with good designs
So they’re going to use all those profits to finally finish Craftopia, right?
Of fricking course not. They have never finished a game. Ever. Palworld will be no different.
Didn't they just update Craftopia in December?
Yes but its been in Early access for many years at this point
at this point, it will forever be early access. that way they can just use that as an excuse to not have to update it every now and then.
Doesn't leaving early access means people can apply for refund regardless of how much time spent testing in early access?
It took them 8 hours to sell what Pokemon sells in minutes
gen 9 didn't sell as much gen 8, anon.
That sounds like a stellar success for any game.
I'd wait and see if it sells as much as yokai watch first.
gamepass not included
It sold only 100 copies in Japan?
100万 = 1 million
1 and 1 zero = 十
1 and 2 zero =百
1 and 3 zero =千
1 and 4 zero =万
now add 2 more zero to the 4
so it's 100,000,000?

good
i hope the dev keeps working on the game
nonono this can't be happening at all, why Ganker? why you didn't stop them?
I can't believe how vtubers have so much impact on advertisement. Not saying the game itself isn't that interesting to begins with but dam those vtubers really put this on radar.
Low expectations + streamer hype works wonders, but the opposite end just hurts games. Look at starfield, it had crazy high expectations and streamers just showed how disappointing the game is.
maybe this'll encourage devs to actually make quality products
>I can't believe how vtubers have so much impact on advertisement
Streamers have been the go to advertisers for years now. They're cheaper than the tv ads that no one watches nowadays and lots of kids and teens have a parasocial relationship with them and thus 'trust' them. If anything they prove how overblown the marketing budget on most things is
>If anything they prove how overblown the marketing budget on most things is
If anything they prove how easily-influenced the populace is. That's why they call them "influencers". They rub it in our faces how much like cattle we are, and now it's just the term we've come to accept.
Game Freak getting salty shortly after SV's launch and banning mainstream Vtubers from playing their games probably didn't help.
No they didn't
It's not a surprise most people talking about this game are Pajeets and spics, then, the prime Vtuber audience.
well deserved, the game is actually fun and I'm having a blast with it
>thirty bucks for an early access game built entirely around a single joke "what if pokeymans had guns"
the industry really is just fricked isn't it
get a grip, homosexual.
Way better than Balding Troon 3, Basedderman 2, everything Shitendo has been putting out, etc etc. This is a huge improvement over what the industry has been buying lately.
I know these are all bait threads but I hope this does kill pokemon or at least show people what it could be in terms of 3D monster collector games. I've hated the franchise since ORAS and feel like Gamefreak has been coasting off the name for a fricking decade.
I'm going to buy this entirely out of spite for Gamefreak because I can't personally tell them how much I'm disappointed in their laziness. Probably won't even play it because frick open world survival games.
kys dishonest moron
PokeBlack folk brand loyalty is a mental illness
keep crying poketrannies
>this is bait thread!
>post bait post
btw this will not show nothing about monster collecting because it's a Ark clone not poke one. But you already know it right?
So you don't collect monsters in Palworld?
didn't pass middle school, did ya?
PS5 version imminent?
Probably some gamepass deal to keep it console exclusive for a certain period of time.
cope and beg Snoy losers
If you convert it into seconds, it was just 34 games sold per second.
Not that impressive.
how the frick do I get rid of / release pals permanently from my box
Just butcher them and feed them to your other pals
why did this create so much butthurt among manchildren?
A lot of morons on here have nothing going for them outside of being right on the internet. The game being this big on launch proves them wrong and also forces them to grasp at straws for cope.
You know how Nintendo kids are about anything that's similar enough to their cult.
Just look at what happened to BG3 after fricking Zelda in the ass.
Tendies really don't want competition. They want their slop to be unchallanged.
Pokemon fans don't want any other monster collecting games to exist, they want Pokemon. Anything that is even a minor threat towards it, even if it is a franchise as minor as Digimon or Monster Rancher, attracts its fanbase and encourages them to just talk shit.
because it's not on playstation and pokemon/nintendo fans hate things that rip-off pokemon/nintendo content
Nintendo/Pokegays are a cult
>Already sol more than Digimon cyber sleuth did until 2019
Massive success
Access
>Chinkshit
NOPE.
surprisingly, it's japanese
Is it really, though? Has anyone done any digging into this company? Everything they make feels so Chinese. Wouldn't surprise me if their company was just a front and they truly are Chinese.
Nah, they're nips. Never assume China is the only nation of having cheap copycats devs.
chinks or western troony devs cant make cute monsters.
Chinks can, it's just really rare since it requires giving effort and not just blindly trimming someone else's work without even trying to understand why it works.
thats just a toon shader kemono. not 3d monsters. when non japanese try to make it, the facial expressions always gonna be strange or awkward. these monsters in palworld dont have such awkwardness, are genuine japanese stuff.
If gayfreaks literally shat themselves out of sheer primordial terror from the absolute nothingburger that was Yokai Watch, so much that they even ripped it off, what are they going to do now? add guns to the next pokemon game?
They'll do nothing because they know pokegays have no standards and will eat up anything that GF shits out
this sadly
but i dont care about pokemon anymore, that franchise is dead to me
roco kingdom and dokev look far more promising and this will keep me busy until those two release
Yokai watch did sell more than pokemon at one point. That's the key piece of info everyone conveniently forgets. So until this matches up with yokai watch gamefreak won't even care or know it exists.
>Yokai watch did sell more than pokemon at one point.
Only in Japan. Pokemon still blew it out of the water worldwide, so Yokai Watch still didn't come anywhere close to Pokemon.
>Only in Japan.
And that's why gamefreak did the changes to gen7 and later. Remember they care the most about home country sales, not anywhere else.
>Only in Japan
Japanese company
Japanese game
Ran by old japanese businessmen
They care about japanese sales first and foremost
why?
Money is money
period.
Because they're mega racist. Your money is worth less because you're not Japanese, they don't want your money. Like whites who would rather die than get operated on by a black surgeon, there's no logic to it. They'd rather lose money and region-lock all their games forever than take your money.
kek look at the jigglin' burger upset the rest of the world doesn't give a frick about America.
>literally shat themselves out of sheer primordial terror
where? in what they ripped yw off? the first game out after yokai was sun/moon and has the same formula as always.
Those dumb ass dances in Sun/Moon were taken from YW
if this is not a bait you are moron if you believe this.
so they copied some dance from the anime op because they were so scared of the games?
only an in-dept human and pokemon petting system can save them
This proves people are highly interested in an open world Pokemon game that isn't a story driven turn based JRPG. That's the baseline of what they should be learning from this, because that's the main reason I am interested in it.
They also should learn that making your game look good, have good animations, be optimized and bug tested, and to allow a lot of player freedom will make your game more attractive to new players... however it's Gamefreak we're talking about, lmao.
>because that's the main reason I am interested in it.
moron.
Turn based combat sucks ass and it's why Pokemon is so fricking soulless
double moron
Go back to eating shit, double Black person
you first easy triggered moron
Good for them. Although I do get the feeling there will be some backlash when people find out they got tricked into playing Ark instead of edgy Pokemon clone.
Are people really gonna miss the shitty turn based combat system that much?
Turn-based combat is never going away and the huge success of BG3 will just bring in another golden age of turn-based combat supremacy.
BG3 gameplay is fricking boring a fight in this game take 20 minutes
You being stupid doesn’t make his point less relevant. Go watch streamers shout so you can clap at the happy noises.
pull up some family guy on your phone then zoom zoom
>she thinks that people like BG3 for gameplay
moron
Turn based combat was always great, the shitty aspect of old RPGs was random encounters. Skies of Arcadia is nearly unplayable nowadays, but Chrono Trigger aged like fine wine because it's encounters are scripted.
Why the frick do you disingenuous homosexuals keep comparing average jrpg combat ro BG3? It has no random encounters, doesn't warp to a featureless battlefield, where you fight actually matters because of terrarian and other environmental factors, an actual interesting class system and near every item being able to be used in some fashion in combat.
>an actual interesting class system
Lmao. Turn based combat is a crutch since programming and designing actual combat takes more work and effort, but A LOT of people do not enjoy it. This is really what you should be learning from the success of Palworld, people want a real-time combat Pokemon game.
>Turn based combat is a crutch
Then why do card games exist?
Because they can fit inside your pocket and cost practically nothing to make? What the frick kind of dumbass question is this.
But card games are turn based and people like them.
Cards are popular because they are a cheap way to pass the time or to gamble money with. Gambling in particular is the big reason people like cards.
However the reason you and me right now are sitting in "Ganker - Video Games" and not "/c/ - Card Games" is because Cards are an extremely fricking BLAND and repetitive way to pass the time if you are not actively willing to lose a lot of money on them, compared to Video Games that offer a significantly more entertaining experience than Card games. Video games with Cards in them are SHIT and completely fricking pointless unless you're sitting on a gambling website.
The only reason I'm on besides shitposting is to talk about Yugioh, DD2 and Palworld.
nobody cares about the combat in BG3. people only care about the gay bear sex meem and the dialogues
The "people" who play that game do it exclusively for the sex and porn, that's it
Nah that ain't it,both the sex and porn in games is beyond cringe , there's actual good shit on r34 and other sites
Is it really a shocker that people like turn bases games?
Yes, if they didn't include zoophilia and gay sex in BG3 it would've been just another shitty CRPG that nobody cares about like every single one that came before it
This should be a lesson to game devs that if they want their games to succeed, they need to have all kinds of degenerate porn fetishes in them because that's what zoomers are into these days
Bait used to be believable
Tell me, how am I wrong?
I wouldn't be surprised if it doubles that by monday.
It will sell 3 million on pure Pokemon-spite alone. Then 2 million big name streamers play it on shitstorm streams and they call it GOTY when they do slave labor and shoot down a Pal with a shotgun. And then quickly forgotten because people find out it's an Ark-clone and the grind is just as bad.
Aren't those numbers because of Gamepass?
They said sold. The trick bethesda played was in saying they had x amount of players and not sales.
Nope, these are just Steam numbers
can you capture pals in a pacific way?
>this garbage scam game doesn't even have music
Why did Ganker of all place fell for this?
What? that can't be real
It does during combat and boss fights. No music when roaming or in base.
do you think making another thread is gonna make me care?
think again, im hiding this one aswell, choke on my gigantic wiener and die shill
pokegays have no dicks, I'll be fine
Another successful influencer marketing campaign.
Based Bard is calling out how trash this game is finally a streamer that doesn't suck corpo wieners
This looks more like Ark than pokemon tbh
Still hope it kills pokemon even if it's nigh impossible
Yes dude its gonna kill the biggest most engrossing franchise in the whole world
Ganker is beyond moronic
i wouldn't go that far. it's not the 2000s anymore.
Give it a few days until nintendo has a huge case, and the game will be gone
I fully expect to see Nintendo pulling a few ideas from it (obviously not butching your pokemon or giving them guns, but something like the in-world combat looking a frickton better than how SV did it for example), but there's no way a multi-billionaire 30 years old franchise is going to die because of Ark with Pokemon elements.
Best case it causes game freak to innovate a little, more realistically they continue business as normal
More money for Nintendo to sue for "loss of revenue" lol
>Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6402P CPU @ 2.80GHz

I have a 4090, a threadripper 7995, and 256 GB of DDR5 RAM. Is that enough to run this at 720P 30FPS stably or do I need to go a little higher?
I can run the game at 800p30 on medium settings on a Steam Deck, you'll be fine.
>Early Access
Into the trash it goes.
homosexual.
palword did more than digimon in 30 years ahahahahaha
Wait is this that pokemon game with guns that everyone thought was a joke?
yes
I think people here are really understimating this game. People have been asking for a pokemon open world/mmo since forever. This could turn into something huge if the developer plays its cards right. Just look at pokemon go.
pokemon s/v is open world
weak bait
there are legitimate Pokemon MMOs that have been running for years
they just aren't 3D
>MMO
L M A OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And all of them suck.
Aren't they just DS rom hacks with net play or some shit
Look at PokeXgames
and they're all in the crosshairs of TPC just waiting for a little too much success to happen
They all suck ass
>they just aren't 3D
You underestimate just how much this matters to normal gays. Hint: its a lot
>if the developer plays its cards right
This. Unlike the TEMTEM devs.
temtem is a pokeclone mmo too
Temtem kept in everything I disliked about Pokemon and cranked it up 200%
Its a fricking ARK clone not a pokemon clone when will you Black folk learn
>Just look at pokemon go.
maybe just maybe pokemon go is succeful because it's pokemon too
This isn't a Pokemon game. It's Ark. Holy shit, are people that fricking blind to the gameplay loop?
Pokemon is in such a sorry state that people see Pokemon like designs and instantly think they know what the entire game design is like.
Like how when Ganker sees an anime girl in a video game that's hot they instantly ready and say "she's a gacha girl ain't she?"
>pokegay criticizing another game's gameplay
lol. lmao even
>saying a survival craft tps is not a turn based rpg is "criticizing"
fricking moron
The thing is Pokemon pretty much already is an MMO.
who makes palworld? some japanese no name dev or something?
Their previous game, Craftopia, was very popular in Japan, so they are not really no name dev
>game peaked at 26k on launch in 2020
>immediately falls to 3k players next month and stays there for the next 3 years, can't pass 3k
>release some update in june 2023 making the player count jump to 10k
>player numbers are now here
great devs and great game you got here
buy an ad
26k was a big number for a japanese indie game
you are being a moron for expecting AAA number
This show jrpgs are outdted and boring as frick lol based palworld
turn based rpgs are dead, take notes gamefreak and nintendo
whyd the game double in price since launch? sucks if you didn't buy it for half the price.
holy frick
and it's all thanks to coney, god bless him.
>$91k
And I thought the inflation where I live was bad
I saw that pirated copies can join servers, but can they host them too?
Yeah. There's no DRM on the game or servers.
I will never understand the appeal of cute little monsters or building things with ugly, pixelated blocks. Fricking clown world we live in.
>early access
>Unity/Genshin artstyle
>sameface anime characters
Honestly whether you like the game or not this should be a huge wake up call for all you indie devs out there who want to make literally anything and have it take off so you can just retire. Appeal to autistic sexually degenerate furries. Throw in a few anime girls and bam. Market the game all over social media posting anthro characters. I would burn every animal fricker if I could. Just look at how many of these threads actually talk about the game itself or gameplay. It's about the stupid fricking furry creatures and waifus. Any pokemon thread is the same thing. Im so fricking tired
>nooooo nobody bought my artsy quirky indie games I worked for 5 years on :~~*~~*
It's about identifying a niche and then filling it. Stardew Valley is a great example of this. People wanted a decent harvest moon game on PC and it delivered.
There's still an unfilled niche for Terraria in space. Starbound merely promised it and sold a shit ton on that lie alone despite being complete garbage. Whoever takes the ideas from that game and actually delivers is going to be filthy fricking rich.
Goddamn I had managed to forget about starbound.. I thought that game was really going to go somewhere. RIP.
My brother never recovered from EA Starbunder, as in will not touch anything EA ever again.
Maybe he's right.
its nothing like genshin. more like cartoon-ish anime with pokemon aesthetically.
So is the game actually good? elaborate
It's fun. Good is an entirely different critique.
I watched it on shitch and it seemed okay? Like, if you are bored and really want a game to play it might take up a bit of your time.
It's fun, especially with friends. Good for a cheap weekend romp.
giwtwm
I can’t believe that evil Goodra would eat that poor little Piplup
As of now I'd say fun but not worth it. Though since it's Early Access that might change for better or worse in half 6 months to a year from EA launch.
It's literally ARK with pseudomons instead of dinosaurs.
Imagine all the people who bought this thinking it was going to be "the Pokemon killer" after finding out it's an ARK rip-off.
Honestly this game is exactly what I wanted out of a 3D pokemon game for years. I don't even have that high standards but I still do have standards.
All they needed to do was make the Pokemon something more than balls of stats with 3 different canned animation and they'd have the happiest fanbase in all of gaming. But they can't even get that right. They've started to get the memo with S/V but it's too little too late.
why are europoors and shitskins hours so bad? off topic, shilling of FOTM, porn, twitter/reddit threads etc
is it fun
torrent where?

I heard literally nothing about this game then streamers started playing early access and now everybody's talking about it
shan't be playing it
>dazzi

All this talk about sales... Is it any good?
Survival-craft game. It's fun for a weekend gaming binge but it's exactly what you expect out of the genre but with a pet/worker system.
I have never played one before so I'll try this on GP, survival stuff always looked boring.
Does the game have a compelling story or is it pure gameplay?
I somehow doubt it does, china can't write compelling stories for shit
it ain't chinese
Pretty sure it's purely gameplay as of now. Which is probably for the best given it's still Early Access and probably will be for a several years.
what do you mean early access, everyone acted as if the game was out and completed already
moron
Read the fricking steam page are you blind, deaf, and dumb?
It got a console release too on Gamepass so morons think console = full release but consoles have been doing early access forever.
It's early access you dumb Black person. Don't expect anything feature complete.
it's like dark souls but pokemon.
jk there's no story
If it wasn't using the unoptimized resource hog that is ue5 and you could at least opt to take one of your pals and/or inve tory with you server to server insyead of always having to start from scratch then I'd have a much higher opinion on it.
Call me back when you can have sex with the not-gardevoirmons
Neat, I just bought a copy, won't get to play until later.
Sell me on this game, it seems like a scuffed pokemon with Rust combat and base building
What is the goal of the player? is there an end game? What is there to do?
the only aspect pulling me in would be playing with a friend, that's literally it
Each mon can play a different role in automating your base. Water types water crops, plant types plant them. Some mons can craft, some can haul, some can mine. They're all different in terms of how they can be useful. So there's motivation to go out and fight and explore and catch dudes because you need them to automate stuff. On top of that you just have constant quest tasks to do that let you upgrade your base and have more pals work there. Plus there's just going out and fighting and leveling up so that you can get new stuff from the tech tree either for your base or character or pals.
it's

The devs are inspired by Rimworld and want this game to be like a 3d Rimworld but with Pokemon. Also the devs have a pretty good sense of humor and are well aware of why people like their game.
they're not gonna get away with this shit
palworld is finished
On the fence about this, does the game have a story? One of the trailers had a girl that looked like Nessa but the stream I watched was mostly hitting rocks and rarely fighting wild pokemon.
You're only hitting rocks and trees for a bit in the early game before you get set up and have pals do it for you
it is the most generic crafting game of all time featuring wasted designs
No story, just lore droplets in the form of items scattered around the world. Presumably a story can be added later on, since this game is still early access.
think the addition of guns is lame but honestly, when I was a kid growing up in 98/99, I envisioned pokemon games looking somewhat like this in the future, instead Gamefreak churned out games that were basically clones of Blue and Red for the next 30 years. God what a bunch of lazy c**ts, especially considering how much money they have and what they have the resources to create by now.
Pokemon is also still doing 720p they haven't even moved to 1080p yet
This, and young me also loved Shadow the Hedgehog
>instead Gamefreak churned out games that were basically clones of Blue and Red for the next 30 years.
Because that's what makes money
Why change a winning formula
no it's because go from rpg to another genre "just because" is moronic. look at ff16
dab
I watched 10 minutes of a stream of it and it just looks like Fortnite, didn't see any real monster fighting at all.
The mons are just food.
Ia the performance dogshit like in Craftopia or have they improved? I liked craftopia but had to drop it because it just ran like ass no matter the settings (even upgraded my cpu + gpu)
running it decently on rx570 fx8350 shitrig with some settings turned down
It gets 30fps medium/low on Steam Deck at native res
YOU ARE HURTING NINTENDO
So? Nintendo fans hurt their wives (by beating them with their switches)

As someone who purchased Craftopia thinking it was going to be a good ripoff of BotW but on PC you're all about to be sorely fricking disappointed
It took me literally this long to realize I had been scammed
ive played both and palworld is good
that's why I pirated it
having fun so far tho
Shame, I put 60 hours into craftopia.
>buys a scam
>I'VE BEEN SCAMMED!!!!!
Not only did you buy, but it also looks like you didn't refund. No mercy for dumbasses.
>As someone who purchased Craftopia thinking it was going to be a good ripoff of BotW
Absolutly nothing was indicating that it would be and you still bought it. You shouldn't be allowed handle your own money.
Anybody know if you can move your Palbox around, or how specifically you're supposed to get the workers wander around? I put mine next to a wall for aesthetic purposes, but I think it's blocking the Pals from spawning into my base or spawning them behind it in the cliffside.
Should I buy it, or pirate?
Depends
>Are you lazy?
Buy it
>Are you poor?
Pirate it
>Are you unsure if you will like it and just want to make an informed decision
Pirate it, then consider if you want to buy it.
pirategays are hosting their own servers
link?
also, can this be played as a local SP game without connecting to any server whatsoever, or is a server connection required?
It has singleplayer.
yes you can play offline
but if you want to move your save to online you have to start over
thats valid for legit game too?
also, link to the torrent anyone? i already found too many fakes
cs.rin.ru
the simple consensus is that you pirate first to see if you like it, then buy it if you do.
aka; demo the game. which many companies who are fighting piracy for are genuinely missing.
Game has the same visual cohesion as a gmod darkrp server for furries. It looks really gay and im certain this is another fotw over advertised slop survival game like Ark or Valheim
>Game has the same visual cohesion as a gmod darkrp server for furries
i will now buy this game
Still better then the new Pokemon style.
I wouldnt play either
Is fun
>pokemon gun is real
Same, but it's still more visually pleasing to look at then Scarlet and Violet. I have no idea what crack they were smoking when they opted to change the style in the worst way possible.
Really showed in gen 8 with some whack designs near the end of Turner's stay at the company, and it's like the dude they replaced him with thought his new designs weren't even THAT whack and took it further.
The anime look is very problematic for normalhomosexuals, prease undastando. That's why we made like 90% of the characters androgynous or masculine "women" with the most generic Anime™ look possible so the stylization from the previous games wouldn't trigger anyone.
This, I'd rather take no visual cohesion over the normalhomosexual + troony friendly art style and character designs they raped nuPokemon with. They look more like fortnite characters now than the iconic Pokemon anime style.
yet somehow still looks better than a pokemon game
attention marketers: i'm not going to consider your game until i know if there's a Gardevoir equivalent in it
and no, the pink not-salazzle doesn't count
You've been shown multiple equivalents.
Shut the frick up already.
i'm not going to skim the thread. i'm lazy
thats pretty good. i'll consider it. thank you
I'm sorry for yelling at you, you're right; these threads go by way to fast.
There's one thats a happy medium between Gardevoir and Lilligant
I will now buy your game.
Where's the enormous wiener?
this is my least liked pal so far, they just slapped pkmn parts on it
I'm watching some streamers play it today and tbh it looks way more like an open world survival genshin with pokemon thrown in on the side. I don't this appeals to the same Pokemon fanbase, but rather normies who eat up open world slop games.
It's ARKS but with Pokemon/Human slaves instead of dinosaurs.
It's also better then ARK already.
Sadly no poop throwan though
The store page is very upfront about it being a survival crafting game.
You wouldn't get that impression from Ganker threads who keep comparing it to Pokemon though.
It has nothing in common with genshin. Play another game
i hate this thing, they just put primarina hair and serperior body on her, disgusting, they should just copy old pkmn
You do realize milotic existed before either of those pokemon?
I think they can work on a more visual cohesion as the game leaves early access
the important part was getting the basics of what they wanted to do with the game out right now
if it can be fun in EA then the full game could be really good. I haven't played pokemon in years, but Palworld, on a first impression, seems what a pokemon spin off made for adults would look like, if the series decided to "grow (as in age, maturity)" together with its fans
Fellas is there an endgame, some end goal, I don't like games that basically have no goal and you just hit a stop and nothing happens.
>Fellas is there an endgame
games been out for a few hours
how are we supposed to know?
Pirate it and find out like the rest of us
it's an early access survival craft-em-up, what do you think
There are npc's some kind of bigger plot going on. Raid bosses, BOTW ancient tech towers.
There is the groundwork for a bigger picture but I'm not in far enough to tell if it is a good story or not.
And they'll all abandon it fast just like Temtem.
Doubt it, 1mil sales in 8 hours?
They would have to be pajeet level morons not to ride the wave and keep it going.
The pokemon killer is finally here. Amazing.
the mods are gonna be lit
Think the game is made in UE,how modable is it?
>open world survival slop
>no turnbased combat
>no towns
>no gyms
fotm garbage
>one million
peak isn't even half that playing at once
interesting
I'm guessing their doing what most shitty devs do and count free keys given away as sales
I somehow doubt they gave away 500k keys.
I'm assuming it's more like 300k and over the past 24 hours it fluxed to 300k~ but it's funny that morons still believe fake news
Seems pretty normal. What is this arbitrary metric you just came up with to be considered legit or not?
Bethesda said they sold like 10 mil,yet they barely broke past 300+k peak
AIIE AIIIE AIIIE
OUIIIIIEEE
Guess the drawgays are going to be eating good tonight

The character creator is fricking atrocious. I expected a lot of options to create your perfect sadist slaver waifu, but it's just three butt-ugly body sliders made for memes, five female faces (as opposed to a bunch of male ones), and a dozen hair options. I'm so disappointed.
Just wait like a day or two and mod your waifu in.
with any luck we'll get proper customization options through mods

Is it mandatory always online multiplayer or can I just host over lan to play with my sister?
im sorry WHAT?

Did you never read the Pokedex descriptions? They're the same way.

NINTENDO
Good for them. They're going to need the money to pay for the lawsuits.
I don’t get the negativity towards this game on Twitter. It’s so harmless, using barely legal Pokémon designs and getting away with it is kind of funny. The game has been in development for 3 years and Nintendo or TPC have said anything about it, I don’t even think they care. The Japanese side of the spectrum are legit eating this game up. I played about 30 minutes with Game Pass and it just felt like a more fun Rust that had Pokémon mod. It’s really just something good to play until Final Fantasy comes out
Is there an extra layer of controversy that I’m missing the context for?
Twitter is tendie central. Theyre probably legit mad about their hecking wholesome childgood ip being made light of/"corrupted" also something something slavery bad
t. Tendie playing this on pc
>it just felt like a more fun Rust
Anything is more fun that Rust so this isn't saying anything useful.
Why are you copy pasting this post everywhere on multiple boards?
I played the game, it fricking sucks. It'll be dead in a month.
>Early Access
Call me when it's finished
it's literally like Genshin Impact, it being in Early Access is just a technicality cause it'll never have a "finished" version, it's made to be constantly updated with new content, maps, monsters, etc.
think of it as if pokemon wasnt different games for each new gen, but one big game where each new gen is an update to the game: it will never ever have a "finished" version, cause it's not meant to
>genshit
Its nothing like it, play another game.
read the rest of the post you mongoloid, i didnt say the game itself is like GI, i said the update and new content system is like GI, where it will never be finished and they'll just keep adding maps, regions, and content
Genshit didnt invent that model and it didnt even popularize it. Play another game
i love my wife
cute cat
OK I'll admit, the shill campaign leaning on the "Pokeyman fans are SEETHING over this" aspect when it's more edgy chinkshit Arkclone is pretty good. Plus who the frick has cared about Pokeyman since Gen 5 anyways.
This might be the greatest game of all time I think its gonna surpass pokemon and minecraft
nah
is this just Temtem all over again?
Temtem died because the devs were moronic and shat on their player base with heavy handed moderation.
If they don't make the same mistake, Palworld will probably maintain decent popularity for a few years, although never Pokemon level.
No because the devs aren't trannies.
Its not pokemon-like in the slightest outside of creature collecting which neither invented
Does it also have pronouns like Theythem?
>TheyThem
Let's see if we get ~~*perfectly organic grassroots threads*~~ every 20 minutes written in bad gypsy Spanglish, then we can judge.
It's Pokémon BOTW for designed for ages over 7, a market that's been lacking
worse actually
craftopia their other game is still in EA after 4 years
they're just full on scam artists
You'll find out when it leaves Early Acess in 2050.
I'd say the opposite. Temtem just tried to copy Pokemons gameplay with shittier designs.
This one actually nailed the designs and did different gameplay
>This one actually nailed the designs
Digimon mogs this shit hard, dude.
Yoshi Quaqsire
This game might be the first game I've ever started that had its master volume set to 50 rather than 100, I am pleasantly surprised not to be ear-raped for once.
Pokedrones seething.
BUT IS IT GOOD?
It's on gaypass I think, let me find out in like a few days or so.
It's a game that's been out for a few hours that is in a genre know for its time investment requirements. Give it a minute.
Let me guess, it's an open world survival crafting game with no locations or points of interest and you need to create your own goals that gets initial hype from streamers and then dies 2 weeks later never to be mentioned again
Indie games need to fricking die
>Let me guess
ok, try it
> it's an open world
yes
>crafting game
no
>with no locations or points of interest

So go play something else you shifty eyed buck toothed extra melanated mutt
how long before gamefreak sues?
Shan't be buying Chinese slop
I just saw some dude fighting a boss and it was the most boring shit I have ever seen.
>people who buy the game can't cross-play with people on gamepass
fricking why
is it multiplayer? in what?
So I'm really interested in getting this but I have one question: how much chinese backing does this game have?
its japanese not chinese
homie you realize that doesn't mean anything?
it has japanese funding not chinese funding
Are you absolutely certain it doesn't have any foreign investors?
>bro just prove a negative
No, you provide proof of your claim that it has those foreign investors or frick off
I tried searching for their investors and can't find anything easily, but you're naive as any other dipshit if you think they don't. Any remotely large media company usually has foreign investors.
>No I don't have any proof but if you don't assume that I'm right you are just NAIVE you fricking FOOL CAN'T YOU SEE IT
Tons of japanese things have chinese backing, probably half the anime airing this season has chinese money behind it.
Where does one pirate this game?

>why do normalBlack folk on steam go ape shit over this every time?
Streamer bait
why do americans go ape shit over first person shooter?
why do europoeans go ape shit over simulator games?
is it an mmo or single player?
it's exactly the same setup as Rust, Ark, that Conan survival game, etc.
ironically looks better than 95% of post gen 4 pokemon. Its amazing how gamefreak themselves do not understand how to create pokemon in 15 years. They're pokemon gamefreak not digimon or shit from some trash jarpig.
I hope what with nintendo moving pokemon or wtv to one of their main buildings. That they understand no matter what pokemon will sell. But every non-mainline game gamefreak has not touched. EVEN POKEMON SNAP people have considered absolutely amazing and how shit even switch game has been including the programing. I hope nintendo and creatures inc starts mass firing people and I hope for gen 10 its a return to form much like the god awful anime finally dying. That the cancer the last decade+ of games has been with megas supah dupa moves and all other cringe japanese bullshit hacks come up with is over. Pokemon returns to form, or better yet they make their own version of pokemmo for the switch with gen 1-3&5 along with the new region for gen 10. Its amazing how bad lazy and just shit gamefreak is pokemon is worth billions and here these hacks are able to create complete trash nonstop pokemon is a global brand stop shoving in Japanese only shit no one cares about
>They're pokemon gamefreak not digimon or shit from some trash jarpig.
I don't understand this, Digimon character design would be an improvement for Pokemon, and it's literally a fricking JRPG.
>That the cancer the last decade+ of games has been with megas supah dupa moves and all other cringe japanese bullshit hacks come up with is over
So basically, you are just a westerner who'd like turn Pokemon into some TLOU movie game shit.

So how many rootkits does it come with?
*audience laughter*
Zero. In fact, it's so open that you can join official servers through Goldberg.
I bought this on a whim and was not disappointed. it's ark but actually fun you could do much wrose with a couple of buds on a snowy weekend like this. I hope they keep adding in pals. Delegating the worse parts of survival games to cute A.I was the smartest fricking choice in the world. I don't have to ride around on a fricking beaver for 30 hours only to find my base completely demolished the next day. You can be gays about all you want but the game is great and I can't wait til my buds get home so we can do monkey drive by's.
post more lore of pal fricking
alright fine i'll play your beastiality simulator
Didn't this just amount to an animation of two creatures entering a tent together?
You build a barn and a bar fills up then you collect an egg. No one is going to animate a whale fricking a cartoon sheep for 30$.
It would be cool if you had the option to go into the tent with you pal.

>massive success
Not for long. Pic related will win again.
as much as i find this shit funny, you know damn well after a week or two, people are going to abandoned the game.
usually with the typical "something something no content" excuse.
its the same shit with temtem. that game supposedly had almost everything people wanted in a pokemon game. did pretty well initially and then everyone just fricking dropped it.
Wtf? The hair is even shaped the same as Primarina’s, right down to the flyaways. Just slap on a Dragonair tail-orb, use Shiny Suicune’s color palette, and call it a fricking day.
