At this point I can't even get mad at Gamefreak for being lazy and doing the bare minimum (to put it kindly). If the Pokemon players don't give a shit, why should they?
I don't give a shit about 11+ millions of moronic self-made victims of corporate Stockholm Syndrome, those people will buy unwashed used buttplugs if there's a Pokemon sticker glued onto them.
That makes no logical sense. Why would this one singular dev group have access to bots? Why are they the only ones using these bots to make their game the highest player count of all time?
Pokémon is garbage, Palworld is garbage. I hope Palworld substantially cannibalizes Pokémon's market share and I hope TPCI sues the devs of Palworld for copyright infringement.
They should destroy each other.
Dude we literally had tendies admitting buying the same copies over and over to help nintendo
Palworld and Pokemon are different though, but pokegays hate it because this means more kids playing those fast and complicated games and pedopokegays cant keep up
Its like those disney shows featuring kids no kid watch, everyone knows those shows are for pedos
Let's be real here, Even if this game gets forgotten about the very next day the devs won. They made their bank and now they're loaded unless they actually get sued
Genuinely what the frick happened? What cause Pokemon with guns to explode? I heard about this game's existence like 5 days ago and it's suddenly the biggest game on Earth right now.
It's less about the guns and more about the base building
If GameFreak did something as weird and strangely in-depth as base-building with Pokemon, It might be one of my most played games on Switch
Because it checks off a lot of boxes that normalgays begged for that Game Freak frickrd up in their games. >better open world >better following monsters >monsters actually have uses outside of battle >rideable monsters that are actually yours and not rentals
Being Pokemon with guns is just what is grabbing people's attention, what I'm seeing a lot of people say they love about the game is how the monsters feel more like companions than Pokemon games have ever been able to accomplish.
This
The first pal you get is Chikipi and just the fact that it can help you with planting seeds in your berry plantation makes it feel like more of a partner or member of your team than my pokemon have for a while.
One of the basic issues I have with Pokemon is that because they all serve the same purpose, there's rarely ever any feeling I have with any new ones I see other than "are they good for fighting"
When I have to decide between bringing someone with me or bringing them for battle or what duty they'll be on, it makes me think more about them in general.
I'm playing with my gf and we named all the lamballs we have doing gathering duty and it's been fun to talk about the way they interact on the base. Same with the Cattiva we have, one of the only pals that will just start taking naps mid-day
Maybe anons who only know about Geoff's curated list of games never heard of it. Anyone who actually follows video games would have seen it all over the place at Tokyo Game Show or one of the Japan Indie Live Expos.
Checks a lot of boxes of what Pokémon fans wanted from Pokémon but couldn’t get
Namely a high fidelity, relatively stable open world environment with an emphasis on exploring with your Pokémon, and being able to interact with them beyond battling such as using them as mounts
The fact it has guns and slavery was good as a marketing point to get people’s attention, but what gave it actual staying power was the above
Pokémon games being fricking terrible, sanitised kid friendly garbage the past 25 years is what caused this. Only nintendies bothered with those, Palworld appeals to a general audience.
I'm satisfied by this game though. This is the kind of wild 3D Pokémon adventures I imagined as a kid when I was playing the original few handheld games.
Now they just need to increase the gore and add hardcore sexual intercourses, and I'll never have to play another game again.
I don't know about that. Having a civilization would kind of defeat the entire point of building your own base. Everybody would just move into the city. Or maybe they could come up with some silly lore reason that due to some recent political events nobody is allowed to buy property in the city and you'd have to warp in every time you want to visit it.
Having more npcs who you can talk to would certainly be nice though.
>collectslop
I love that shit though and I don't mind some crafting bloat to get to that. In fact, that part makes it feel like an accomplishment when I actually do the collecting.

I have no idea about what any of that means. You use too many inside references and buzzwords. I'll just go back to playing.
No amount of astroturfing is going to make some random mediocre indie game sell 4 million in a few days and shoot to the top 3 of Steam ranking. Keep coping.
There's a shit ton of vidya out there, they could easily do what you claim palworld did, and yet palworld is botting because it's popular? You morons are being contrarians so hard it's rotting your brain.
Less than half the price of Scarlet/Violet for multitudes of more content and mechanics. AND that content and those mechanics seem to work better and are more fun to play.
Baseline borderline competence by amateur developers is all it took.
i know this is bait but there really are technically legal adults on this platform who have no idea what pokemania was, please don't confuse them further
until your game gets specifically banned from schoolgrounds across the country you are literally nothing compared to pokemon and tamagotchi. even the TCG got you in trouble at my elementary school.
Scamlet and violol might as well be a bundle pair since morons buy both and don't have any friends to coordinate with. So your 10 million is really just 5 million. Deal with it, gay.
think it would've sold even better if it wasn't trying to emulate Pokemon's artstyle? I do feel like a significant amount of people bought this just to spite Gamefreak but I also feel like there's a non-insignificant amount of people who would've bought it if the artstyle wasn't a clear bootleg
they definitely need to polish up the way the pals actually look, the realistic environment combined with the kind of cheap knockoff models is what turns me off the most. I also think the realistic guns, while funny when the fricking monkey holds them, are super fricking stupid and should be replaced with like a fantasy blaster or something. I get the incoherent artstyle is half of the point but it looks like total shit
What's funny is that the worst designs in the game are the ones that copy Pokemon's too hard.
The OCs are all genuinely good designs, which is rare in monster games.
>the biggest entertainment franchise in the history of the world with billions spent on advertising outsold an indie game with a tiny budget
damn, palworld btfo...
>doesn't account for development and marketing costs, which are massive since nintendo always shills pokemon widely >whereas palworld had far less marketing and budget, so even with smaller numbers, it almost certainly had better profits
So what happened to that Naughty Dog dev that tweeted that he had a hunch that the devs "cheated" during development but provided no proof of his schizoid rantings? Did he just delete the tweet when he realised that he had burden of proof?
No no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FURUKAWA- GAMEFREAK- MARIO- SOMEBODY FRICKING STOP THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW! asiatic MOOT YOU STUPID FRICKING CHINK... REMOVE AND BAN DISCUSSION OF PALWORLD IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!
>three times as many Japanese Youtuber's I'm subbed to playing it or going to >which is 12 times as many people as bothered with their last DLC
Yep, it's official Pokémon is going to get even more ruined than it already has been since Gen 4.
>Makes a game that have pokemon like designs. >Make it $30. >Be rich as frick
Damn from what I learned about this is that sugimori is a genius. You could make any monster game with any design and wouldn't be this successful.
ironic shilling is still shilling
wait who am I kidding we have AI models that can perfectly replicate the style of a Ganker poster
but then this is just reverse tortanic, Ganker users would eat their own shit if somebody told them not to, because it means upsetting somebody, hence in this case ironically (I hope) enjoying a bottom of the barrel cash grab knockoff that looks like a cheap mobile game Ganker would've dismissively mocked a few years ago
this might be the point where I finally get off the internet in general
>FOTM >Includes or is heavily skewed towards multiplayer
I wonder if people are ever going to figure out the real reason behind FOTM.
Hint: It has nothing to do with the quality of the game.
>sold as much in 4 days as Sword and Shield did in their first week
NOOOOOOOOOOOO NINTENDO PLEASE HURRY NINTENDO PLEASE STOP IT NOOOOOOOOOOO DONT LET THEM WIN
Are you making a bold claim that it'll reach the second highest selling Pokemon game at 24.5m sold?
When they drop the price 90% in a few months it'll sell 20 million and they'll claim it's a pokemon killer. While pokemon is still $60
Okay but hear me out
and how many did refound?
shut the frick up Huang Xiao
is this cope?
At this point I can't even get mad at Gamefreak for being lazy and doing the bare minimum (to put it kindly). If the Pokemon players don't give a shit, why should they?
>already stagnated and failing to beat SwSh
Downward trajectory, here we go!
If this shit somehow passes SV, boy oh boy are pokegays gonna lose what's left of their autistic minds.
Palworldsisters... how are we going to cope with this?
wow a 30 yr old brand easily sold 10 mil to slop consumers? what is shocking about that??
Each version sold 5 million so technically PalWorld matched them yesterday and will be beating them this week at this rate.
I don't give a shit about 11+ millions of moronic self-made victims of corporate Stockholm Syndrome, those people will buy unwashed used buttplugs if there's a Pokemon sticker glued onto them.
Literally gobbling up shit. What is wrong with nintendies?
>sold twice as much in four days as XVI did in a year
Yoshi p sisters...
Eric won.
Nooo.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The best part is that this game would've been sold more if it wasnt on gamepass.
moron.
It's about to surpass Ark and Pokemon combined
3 billion bots
That makes no logical sense. Why would this one singular dev group have access to bots? Why are they the only ones using these bots to make their game the highest player count of all time?
sisters.... first baldurs gate now this? we need to #fightback
>Mailed in Steam Keys
we need Buyer IDs
I bought Palworld again
Proof?
Look maybe it sold well but 6 million
This is it boys
This is the competitor for Pokémon
Finally
6,000,000 UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE!
the counts already stopped, players dwindling, its over.
That happens with every game though, but it keeps getting new players.
nope
Cope
Got anything more to say? Maybe something that's not a single word?
nah
Palworld
Pokémon is garbage, Palworld is garbage. I hope Palworld substantially cannibalizes Pokémon's market share and I hope TPCI sues the devs of Palworld for copyright infringement.
They should destroy each other.
Tendies will truly melt down and start pushing muh SV sales cope a lot once this outsells Pokemon Crystal.
Dude we literally had tendies admitting buying the same copies over and over to help nintendo
Palworld and Pokemon are different though, but pokegays hate it because this means more kids playing those fast and complicated games and pedopokegays cant keep up

>Everytime I woke up it sold ANOTHER million
OYYYYYYY VEYYYYYYYYY
Let's be real here, Even if this game gets forgotten about the very next day the devs won. They made their bank and now they're loaded unless they actually get sued
Genuinely what the frick happened? What cause Pokemon with guns to explode? I heard about this game's existence like 5 days ago and it's suddenly the biggest game on Earth right now.
Gamefreak caught sleeping
Its because of dedicated servers, if this game was local Coop it wouldn't have taken off.
People are making 64 player servers with pokemon mod
>Its because of dedicated servers
It's not. Dedicated servers are currently fricked and rubber band like mad.
PalWorld has really taken the internet by storm
It's pokemon with pokemon doing more than being 4 move weapons
Look at the time of day it hits peak players. The game is popular among chinese.
Because Gamefreak is a shitty company and Pokémon is a mismanaged franchise
This game would have never become this popular if Pokemon shills had not made constant excuses for its decline.
It's less about the guns and more about the base building
If GameFreak did something as weird and strangely in-depth as base-building with Pokemon, It might be one of my most played games on Switch
Because it checks off a lot of boxes that normalgays begged for that Game Freak frickrd up in their games.

Streamers creating artificial hype and fomo for the zoomer cattle
this is the real reason. zoomers are moronic consumers who are slaves to their fomo
>I heard about this game's existence like 5 days ago
How
It exploded the few days before release yes but it was already pretty popular before that
no it wasn't. almost no one had heard of this game before this week. and there were never threads on Ganker about it before either
Maybe anons who only know about Geoff's curated list of games never heard of it. Anyone who actually follows video games would have seen it all over the place at Tokyo Game Show or one of the Japan Indie Live Expos.
i've seen it a few months ago but i thought it'd be DoA shovelware with a gimmick, i guess it was enough of an actual game to succeed
wow, 6 billion sales my fellow go...gamers
some games become FOTM on steroids, that's it
Don't think. Just do.
Checks a lot of boxes of what Pokémon fans wanted from Pokémon but couldn’t get

The fact it has guns and slavery was good as a marketing point to get people’s attention, but what gave it actual staying power was the above
it's fun and surprisingly came out in a better state than pokeshit scat vomit
>Genuinely what the frick happened?
Use your brain you stupid fricking gay homosexual chihuahua.
It was on my wishlist since forever ago
I didn't expect it to be this good I just thought it was gonna be some dum fun for a few hours
When I found out about co-op I thought that was neat but nothing more
Then it came out on game pass and me and my friends really liked it
Then we went and bought it on steam for the public servers
And the faster updates
>It was on my wishlist since forever ago
Pokémon games being fricking terrible, sanitised kid friendly garbage the past 25 years is what caused this. Only nintendies bothered with those, Palworld appeals to a general audience.
>genwunner with a mild tolerance for gen 2
opinion discarded, you were never going to be satisfied
I'm satisfied by this game though. This is the kind of wild 3D Pokémon adventures I imagined as a kid when I was playing the original few handheld games.
Now they just need to increase the gore and add hardcore sexual intercourses, and I'll never have to play another game again.
They meed to add actual towns and major cities next. Too bad it's set in some shithole island instead.
I don't know about that. Having a civilization would kind of defeat the entire point of building your own base. Everybody would just move into the city. Or maybe they could come up with some silly lore reason that due to some recent political events nobody is allowed to buy property in the city and you'd have to warp in every time you want to visit it.
Having more npcs who you can talk to would certainly be nice though.
it's just unreal asset flip legends arceus with more crafting bloat and admittedly easier-to-see glowing light collectslop
>collectslop
I love that shit though and I don't mind some crafting bloat to get to that. In fact, that part makes it feel like an accomplishment when I actually do the collecting.
just be honest and say you go "HIRE THIS MAN GAMEFREAK" at fake corocoro leaks
I have no idea about what any of that means. You use too many inside references and buzzwords. I'll just go back to playing.
You sound like those out of touch people confused about why Pokemon Go was popular.
It's a fun game.
Me and my kid sister are loving it. We're building our base, exploring and stuff. She's doing our house interior decoration.
It's not just the guns, but you can also assign them to work for you and you can watch them work.
A combination of streamers, bots, and aggressive marketing. You think the 30 threads on Ganker with copypasted word for word posts are organic?
No amount of astroturfing is going to make some random mediocre indie game sell 4 million in a few days and shoot to the top 3 of Steam ranking. Keep coping.
>aggressive marketing
Where?
I saw nothing about this game until yesterday.
No its cos we love it. Do you hate not being apart of thing?
There's a shit ton of vidya out there, they could easily do what you claim palworld did, and yet palworld is botting because it's popular? You morons are being contrarians so hard it's rotting your brain.
Less than half the price of Scarlet/Violet for multitudes of more content and mechanics. AND that content and those mechanics seem to work better and are more fun to play.

It's simply the game we were promised back when you weren't even a newborn babby yet
>they've now sold as many copies as was their entire budget.
This man is now rich, I hope he makes a good company from here.
OH NINTENDO DO SOMETHING
Link? Source? This is crazy!
TENDIESISTERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
>6 million
fake number just like irl
Doesn't this put on pace like most Pokeman games
Depends on the game, Scat and Vomit did more in less days
Why are they allowed to get away with literal plagiarism? How is Nintendo not suing them into the dirt?
Shut up
Every time I see this image I have to conclude that the person posting it is completely moronic
what even are numbers?
and macdonald is the most profitable restaurant, what is the point here?
Jesus christ that cutoff, it's mogging the hell out of everything on Steam right now.
>other thirdie games are down while gayworld is up
yeah im thinking this game is shit
they have to reach 2+ million concurrent or they haven't beaten the real high score.
I'll buy it when it leaves early access, I don't want another Valheim or Craftopia.
>Craftopia
I have bad news for you
They updated Craftopia last month. Calm your boner.
6 GORILLIAN!!!???
IT'S NINTEND-OVER
>Come back after 2 days
>50 gayworld threads
What is wrong with this place?
>seething bg3gay
there are kids playing this right now, this is their pokemania. beautiful to see really
i know this is bait but there really are technically legal adults on this platform who have no idea what pokemania was, please don't confuse them further
Kids "pokemania" was fortnite.

cute
For a new IP by an Indie compared to a long running franchise, this is impressive.
Scamlet and violol might as well be a bundle pair since morons buy both and don't have any friends to coordinate with. So your 10 million is really just 5 million. Deal with it, gay.
think it would've sold even better if it wasn't trying to emulate Pokemon's artstyle? I do feel like a significant amount of people bought this just to spite Gamefreak but I also feel like there's a non-insignificant amount of people who would've bought it if the artstyle wasn't a clear bootleg

What's funny is that the worst designs in the game are the ones that copy Pokemon's too hard.
The OCs are all genuinely good designs, which is rare in monster games.
Yes, all 6 million of them bought it just to spite nintendo
it would unironically sell less since only Nintendo haters are buying this.
NINTENDO LAWYERS SUE THEM ALREADY WTFFFF
I sure wouldn't want to be one of the 2,000+ indie devs working on Stardew Valley rip-off's right now.
Pokemon still won
depending on how the devs play their cards, that number is beatable
>the biggest entertainment franchise in the history of the world with billions spent on advertising outsold an indie game with a tiny budget
damn, palworld btfo...
>doesn't account for development and marketing costs, which are massive since nintendo always shills pokemon widely
>whereas palworld had far less marketing and budget, so even with smaller numbers, it almost certainly had better profits
>Comparing long running franchise sales to new indie IP sales with little advertising
>little advertising
Sporadic trailer showing is little advertising. Streamers playing the game is because they asked the company for a "review copy"
Yoshit-piss sisters...
i cant believe palworld is mogging xvi this badly
Huh... 6 million copies? Dunno, seems like a lot.
to think all this could've been avoided if gamefreak actually tried
So what happened to that Naughty Dog dev that tweeted that he had a hunch that the devs "cheated" during development but provided no proof of his schizoid rantings? Did he just delete the tweet when he realised that he had burden of proof?
He deleted it.
>post yfw palworld-likes become a thing

leave, Black person.
How long until this game hits 10 million? Another week?
>>>/vg/
i pray on the downfall of pokeshit
What are the chances it sells 10 million units?
OH NO NO NO
check again 🙂
All Pokemon games suck. There’s not a single thing it does that other games don’t do better in.
is this the obligatory FOTM game ?
You can tell by the obligatory butthurt posts by homosexuals
put the fricking name of the game in the op so I can filter it you stupid chinkbot homosexual
I wish I could play this fricking thing, somehow its over heating my graphics card on the worst settings even though I should be fine to play it.
>tfw to poor to buy Palworld
Pirate it and play on official servers with Goldberg, whatever that is.
We heard you the first five times, gay
>three times as many Japanese Youtuber's I'm subbed to playing it or going to
>which is 12 times as many people as bothered with their last DLC
Yep, it's official Pokémon is going to get even more ruined than it already has been since Gen 4.
Alright the shilling is completely out of control now. This is full on advertising.
>the most popular game of all time on steam, not counting f2p games
>WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT
That number sound a bit unrealistic
