to think there are grown ass manchildren who get extremely happy when the game they feel threatened about underperforms is gotta be the most pathetic thing on the internet
>grown ass manchildren who get extremely happy when the game they feel threatened about underperforms is gotta be the most pathetic thing on the internet
That a rude way to talk about palgays.
cope and rope palgay

No, I'm happy that the people who spammed this board for weeks ended up being wrong.
wrong about what?
That Slopworld would be anything but a FotM.
>b-but gamefreak b-but pokemon
Yeah, Gamefreak sucks too. Pokemon sucks too. Doesn't make Palworld any better, or relevant to the board.
not one person ever said palworld was gonna kill pokeshit and came here to stay besides pokegays
>le board rulez!
this board sucks ass and should be converted to a generic monster tamer board
/vp/ is primarily a containment board
which is sad but it is what it is
>containment board
i am so sick of seeing this lame "argument" when pokeshit makes it out of vpiss anyways
either insta ban all pokeshit outside vpedo or turn this board into monster tamer board
until that happens, there will be threads about other monster tamers here even if the fat balding virgin manchildren dont like it
It's impossible to ban a franchise this large. Pokemon has everything.
then why did they keep spamming steam counts as if it was a huge deal?
Because Ganker is mostly composed of shitposters and morons. You can force any kind of argument by posting it enough because career shitposters and morons can be controlled with the equivalent of jingling housekeys.
>tfw hiding all blatant bait and template threads cuts the catalog to ~25% size
Palworld isn't even like Pokemon, this entire saga has been unaffiliated parties laughing at pokegays having a meltie over a game that isn't even in the same genre as any game Pokemon has ever released
I am happy when a game fails if it includes cancerous content to the industry.
Sounds like palworld gays and their obsession with Pokémon failing lol
You palworld players are such morons, it’s genuinely astonishing.
The outrage over this game was so forced, even more than Bald Gay bear spam
>devs are chinks
>players are bot farms
>they stole assets
>they used AI
>''they are cheating somehow''
>baiting legal drama as a wheelchair lawyer
>faking Gayfreak responses
all nothingburger drama, if it isn't mentally ill tendies then I don't know
But enough about Slopworld fans.
You got mogged so hard
what happened to indigo disk’s players after the first two weeks?
It isn't even in the same genre as Pokemon. It was never a competitor.
>this game in the monster catching genre isn't the in the same genre as this other monster catching game
palworld is a survival game like rust or ark - which is nothing like what pokemon games are
the monster catching is honestly kind of a superficial element in palworld
I don't know how you guys played Palworld, but, having put over 90 hours into it already, I can say it plays identical to Pokemon for me. I go out into the world, I catch Pokemon/Pals, I use them in party to help me explore the world and catch more Pokemon/Pals. I have to do things like breeding to complete my Pokedex/Paldeck. Things like the combat and base building are superficial. The core of both games is catch 'em all.
Yes, two games with completely different gameplay loops are not in the same genre just because they have one familiar game mechanic.
>Mario and Halo are the same genre because both have a jump mechanic
Honestly this.
For the time being, Palworld is more of a threat to Ark, Rust or or other survival slop games.
If Pocketpair releases an anime or merchandise and finds massive success in that, then they'll become a major threat to Pokemon. It all depends on how they handle updates and marketing from this point forward, there's a very, very high chance they will frick up massively.
Nontroversy ended
People realized the game is pretty shallow
Designs are pretty weak
Open world is mostly bad game design unless it's done REALLY well.
Ark already exists and is better optimised for this kind of gameplay, even though Ark is in a terrible state after Ascended. Palworld is a FOTM game akin to Lethal Company, but atleast LC has a niche appeal where Palworld does not.
The game is open world survival crafting slop, if you played one game in that genre you have played them all.
no postgame content
It was a flavor of the month game, those lose players pretty quickly.
Wait until the game comes to PlayStation 5 and Switch, you guys are fricked, Pokémon will be done for 🙂
Flash in the pan without meaningful continued play. It's the destiny of every "Build your own base game". Devs throw you in a sandbox, and eventually players realize building your own world isn't fun - it's work and lazy on the dev.
Imagine you walked into a house showing and they showed you pallet of timber and have you a hammer. You'd be like "What the frick is your problem?".
how many people are playing Scarlet and Violet right now?
:^ )
>how many people are playing Scarlet and Violet right now?
treefiddy
Despite its outward appearance, it's not an endless survival game that you can play for weeks. It actually has linear progression. People put 200-300 hours into it and finished it.
Depending on your definition of "killer", Palworld definitely killed Pokemon it terms of profits. Pokemon spends millions on marketing to push their slop games and merchandise. This game was made on a shoestring budget, wasn't marketed beyond a few in-house trailer and was partially sold to Microsoft before release and it still made an insane profit.
>wasn't marketed beyond a few in-house trailer
you're moronic if you think they weren't paying shills to force discussion about this shit
Or people just liked the game, and there is no conspiracy.
meds
Yea I'm sure the dev team of five Japanese dudes was paying people to shill the game on Western forums with their massive war chest of twelve dollars and a pack of gum, because nothing has ever gone naturally viral, ever. Fricking moron.
So basically every other game in existence after it peaks in popularity and buzz topics?
>fakefans let legends arceus flop despise their constant shilling
>they are now letting palworld flop as well their constant shilling
you love to see it
Legends didnt flop, keep coping.
>worst selling pokemon game on switch
>got outperformed by bw
>i-it didnt flop goys
LOL
Keep coping
>say the coping pla/palcuck
I don't understand why you are trying to equate PLA, the one game in which Game Freak put a modicum of effort in, to Palslop.
>PLA
>effort
LMAO
Idk man not repackaging the same stale exact formula as all mainseries games counts as some effort in my book
Was it perfect? No, but it's a start and something to build off of
PLA is literally the exact same shit except that you can throw pokeballs in it
>"I-If I keep spamming reaction images, I'll m-magically be right! I W-Will!"
Obsessed. Keep coping
I will die on the hill that arceus is lower on the sales because it was 1 game, and doesn't have the copy+paste edition to puff up sales via double purchases. They wouldn't make double packs if there wasn't a market for it.
>7 digit number of sales
>a flop
You're genuinely moronic
>sudden release with little to no marketing
>sweatshop dev team with the budget of a happy meal without the drink
>7-8 digits sold within 2 weeks
>cope
I get you saltgays are taking the piss after it was spammed so hard, but this is cope.
>sweatshop dev team with the budget of a happy meal without the drink
This game was funded by the chinks. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a Tencent subsidiary that is intentionally obscured.
If pokemon had visible player counts I bet the drop off would be even worse
NOO STOP GOING AGAINST THE NARRATIVE
pokegays get so mad when their dogshittendo slop is mogged utterly by some literal who indie company
seriously, why are pokemanchildren so mentally ill?
As i recall, SV died within 2 weeks also, people played the game, beat it, and then put it down because it had nothing of substance for postgame except online battles.
What happened to indigo disk's players after the first 2 weeks? poketubers stopped churning out videos?
I don't think anyone is taking this thread overly seriously. Palworld still has like 500k active players or something.
nintoddler felt threatened as stand-in for a megacorporation lel
this just opened my eyes to the reality of these nu disney-moms that replace having a personality with consooming franchises that plague our fandoms
No OP marketing bonus from having Pokémon in the title.
pokemon killed itself decades ago.
Can't wait until this design is public domain
Kirlia has existed since Gen 3 btw
Valheim is still better
Most people already beat it. It's fricking laughable that Tendies are coping about a game that people aren't playing a game 24/7 despite the fact that it sold huge numbers
It was overhyped and turned out to be unengaging. One day we'll have a Pokémon Killer but this wasn't it
People beat it and moved on. How many people play Pokemon games after two weeks?
You're fricking kidding right?
I lost all my respect for the game market, 2million players for literally stealing multiple years of community building by nintendo/gamefreak, literally living off of someone elses work, and people love it, people love it because its pokemon on pc, and the law has nothing to say against palword. People just love that it hurts a big company, they support whats toxic just to prove a point. People catch on to the hype train just because streamers say the word, and everyone knows streamers are the elite of this world so their opinion is sacred "a good pokemon game for pc". Everyone who supports this game just told every other company that trying hard is futile. Hard work and talent? Out the window...just copy someone elses work and steal their fanbase, thats the world we live in. Palworld literally sold better than pokemon legends arceus, which is such a beautiful game, made by talented and hard working people of gamefreak, but it doesnt matter. The market demands dull games, and toxic practices for someone to be successful, palworld proved to me that the world is a nasty place and i lost all my will to live, i literally want to off myself because i feel like i live in a cage of monkeys i stopped feeling like a gamer, i havent touched a video game since palworld's release im shaking every night and having suicidal thought and thinking if there's even a point to creativity, people love safe designs, to the point that i feel disconnected, one day they hate that games do microtransations to have money to pay their workers (which isnt alot aswell), and the second they give hunreds of millions to some quick unreal engine 5 game just because it hurts nintendo. Like the main goal of supporting the game is HURTING another company for not making an equal game. Were sadiatic, were easily exploitable, we have patterns, companies have tactics to target out attentions spans better we live in some kind of circus, and i dont know if ill lose my sanity or do something to myself first
two weeks is a good run, and its only 2/3rds
People beat the game (Early Access so not everything is available yet) and went onto play something else.
As it turns out, fotm hype, edgy subversion, and spite for a completely separate franchise does not build sustainable appeal. From here on out the game will have to stand on its own merits. Now the real question is whether the devs will actually put in the effort to capitalize on the name the game has made for itself, or whether they'll just take their winnings and cash out with minimal continued support for the future.
to be fair i think AI will be the killer of pokemon games.
Someday I can just plug in an AI unit module to a game cartridge and come home after work and have all the pokemon for an area.
Unfinished game is unfinished
When did people start obsessing this much over player count numbers?
2007
>game with a level cap and finite amount of content loses players after two weeks
wow what a shocker
isn't it normal for a game to lose part of it's playerbase after the first weeks?
do you expect people to play this one game forever? how's the playerbase of elden ring now compared to the release?
No one will care about palword in a year and that's why it is fotm. People still talk about elden ring
>"this game is so good"
>stopped playing it ages ago even when it is high with replayability
Yeah, "good"
Yeah people are grasping at straws to argue about something.
I like STALKER and think it's the best game ever made but I haven't played it in 5 years.
I didnt even know it was a multiplayer game
Popular early access trash is still early access trash.
and still better than anything made by gayfreak in the last 20 years
>people beat game
>players drop
I'm sorry how is this news? It's not a GAAS thing is it?
Why do people keep making this thread? What do you think happens when people finish a game? They replay it forever?
this thread was actually in /vp/ but was moved here by the administrator
It's simple. It currently has very little endgame, and whatever endgame it does have, is fricking unfun and grindy as shit.
20+ million sales
No matter how many times you make this thread, nobody claimed this game was going to be a Pokemon killer.
This isn't TemTem, it's a survival game. Nobody even cared about the Pokemon comparison until moronic Nintendo fanboys started throwing their shit-filled diapers around while having a tantrum.
It's just a pump and dump.
The FOTM hype died out and zoomers moved on to the next streamer fad. Everyone but rabid shills knew it would happen.
>t.
I 100%d it with all 137 pals including special flower gumoss. There isn’t anything left for me I will come back when they add new islands/content
Name a non-live service game that hasn't lost two thirds of its players in two weeks
this isn't news
Most people moved on. Understandably so, once you hit the late game the grind gets terrible, and I don't know how good multiplayer is, maybe PvP can get some people interested again.
post yfw you didn't spent a single cent on this flavor of the month shit
everytime i see threads like these, i just remind myself tendietrannies are some of the most b***hy, petty, spiteful whiny gays online, and they absolutely deserve to get humiliated by some gacha skinnerbox that is hundred times more popular than the game they hail as "masterpiece"
it does not matter if a game is good or not, tendietrannies only care about numbers if they favor the multibillion dollar company they simp for, so make sure to constantly bring up genshin's monthly sales numbers to rile these fat, balding, Gankerirgin manchildren up
name a single online game where this hasn't happened
I already beat every boss and captured all the pals, there is no reason to keep playing until a major content update
i mean does it matter? they made bank with minimal development effort
Hey Paul, Tossy my salad homosexual
people finished playing and moved on
until there's a PVP, not that OP would care since all he wants is to spam the same garbage thread and suck dicks
>What happened to the supposed pokemon killer?
does it matter? it sold a frick ton
>flood the board with this fotm slop for two weeks
>play the victim when anons dance on its grave
You get what you fricking deserve.
this
tendietrannies should just accept the humiliation after spamming the board with totk and it being dropped in less than a month
>sub 200 viewers
it's so over for tiktokers
Chrischan got off because incest only has a two year jail sentence attached to it and he was held that long waiting for a trial. Barb did a good job hiding his tracks for the others and the dementia is taking those secrets with her.
ummm trannies of the kingdom xisters, let's not talk about numbers
I put about 80 hours into it and had fun. Definitely starts off strong and falls off hard mid game. It just doesn't feel like you ever have much to do for objectives. There needs to be more to do than the towers. Zoomers have so much brain rot from live service games that the concept of a game ending is a negative. They expect to be drip fed content and pay for every microtransaction.
You powerspike mid game and destroy everything late game. The flamthrower and machine gun probably need to be nerfed. You can cheese just about any enemy with either of those and good dodging at a very low leve.
Grinding for resources gets tedious and there's really no reason to get better guns and gear later. Base building might be fun with a lot of other people in multiplayer, but most people don't seem to care about it in single player mode.
The Pals are not even close to as iconic as the original 151 Pokemon. I shit you not that the majority of people I've played with so far don't even know the names of 99% of the Pals. Most even call them by their Pokemon equivalent.
I checked out Craftopia bosses and they look like they have a ton more mechanics
If you're a kid you can recognize the Pokémon you grew up with, I can't recognize any of the new Pokémon but I know Grizzbolt (and Zoe) / Lamball / Lunaris / Chillet / Wixen and her lesbian rival, Mammorest and Dinossom
It still has more sales than any individual Pokémon game ever made
Why is this being spammed? Did people even read the article?
It's actually a balanced Palworld piece. Tassi even calls out the anti-Palworld people in the addendum.
So much Poke cope in this thread
Don’t worry, you’ll get another shit game by Gamefreak that will not innovate at all in any meaningful way and you’ll call it the “Palworld killer”. Meanwhile Palworld players will enjoying the new content released by then or moved onto another game because they want to actually enjoy shit not consoom.
People cleared the available content. What did you expect? It's early access and there isn't any pvp or treadmill yet to keep you playing after you catch the legendaries.
I cant wait for when there is some monster tamer game like genshin that regularly puts out their monthly sales and active players
That is gonna make a lot of fat balding manchildren unhappy
>My brand is better than your brand
What is this shit, salesman wars?
I mean it was a huge deal, a literal who game coming out nowhere hitting 2mil peak players and outselling the top sellers of last year seems like a pretty big deal
will happen again for whatever game hits that peak or surpasses it along with morons thinking player drop off isn't normal
meant for
It's not just the player count by the way. People simply stopped talking about the game altogether.
>People simply stopped talking about the game altogether.
Anon, I'm not sure if you're aware, but some big news story has taken over the gaming discussion in the past couple of weeks which, depending on events on Thursday, could have massive ramifications for the future direction of consoles.
this is how game culture is now adays, if there isn't any lasting culture behind just rushing the game, then the advent of youtube video content rushes players to the most optimized solutions for everything via guides and shortcuts. This leads to massive dropoff as people learn what there is to do or in the case of extensive guides, what to not bother doing since they already seen the outcome.
>palgays last week:
>HAHAHAHA TENDIES TENDIES TENDIES
>palgays now:
>NOOOOOOO TENDIES TENDIES TENDIES
it's like poetry.
Wow I sure do love seeing this same article for every major game release.
Literally every single one.
It's almost like there's some sort of common trend.
>Another "Pokemon killer" lasting less than a month
IMAGINE MY SHOCK!
Craftopia won
I almost bought it but it looked like it had World of Warcraft ability icons so into the trash it went.
How is it that people still act shocked when a FOTM starts to die off?
It's ARK with fantasy creatures, not a Pokémon killer, people just trolled tendies
It's not a live service game with an end goal like all monster collectors. Even his post afterwards had to add more context because people called him out on his bullshit.
it still peaks at 750k, it's higher than some aaa titles. come back when it will drop to 10k or at least 100k
>the half cooked open world survival crafting game FOTM is losing players
WHAT
HOW
It became the new Pokemon, but since it was a Pokemon Killer it then had to kill itself. It's like Old Snake dying from FOXDIE.
Every game that doesn't have Live Service is specifically made to be a flavor of the month that eventually loses players.
You can't play the same thing forever unless you're super autistic.
its a souless ripoff of pokemon
Doesn't the same thing happen to Pokemon?
anti-flavorgays be like "NOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T PLAY MORE THAN ONE GAME YOU HAVE TO PLAY SOME F2P GARBAGE FOR 10K HOURS LIKE ME!!!!!"
get a job buddy
deadge or not, every penny i paid just to see mindbroken tendies malding and seething over the perceived threat of their favorite megacorp's ''''IP'''' is a penny well spent.
>Try to do anything at the later stages
>Enemies just beeline for you and barely acknowledge your pals
it's not fun
