It's significantly more fun than any recent pokemon game and its not exclusive to a console. It's fantastic for an early access release
It's also just a really good survival game.
I feel like recent pokemon is a low hurdle
Pokemon fans should appreciate Palworld just because it may force Gamefreak to stop fucking around.
I justify it as even if it never receives an update, I'm still satisfied with what I paid for it. It's brought me and my friend many hours of fun.
This game is dangerous...
I played it for the first time yesterday with my S/O, and we looked at the clock only to realize we had played for a little over ten hours straight... only stopping for lunch/dinner
It'll wear off. I felt like that for Valheim and then when I reached the end I went "Oh. Alright. Whelp."
I mean, any survival game is like that. Hell, just about any game is like that. Eventually you've done about all you want to do, and then it's time to move on. And that's fine.
I don't know, games like Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rust, they all have a lot of staying power. There's always burnout but I don't think that Palworld is going to survive to the "We should go back to that" stage.
I just got done with an eight hour session. This game is exceptionally dangerous
I wonder if anyone involved in this debate has even played both games... because outside of having a bunch of adorable yet vicious critters with grimdark world implications.. they're nothing alike
Might as well be comparing Resident Evil to House of the Dead, both have zombies, both take place in a house, both have terrible voice acting.. but one's intended to be scary and has very limited resources and depressing music to give that feel, while the other is a goofy action game intended to be B-Grade schlock where you just mindlessly shoot things
Palworld gameplay isn't even remotely similar to Pokemon. Its basically Ark Survival that just so happens to have plagiarised pokemon designs instead of dinosaurs.
I kinda wish they didn't go such overt plagiarism in terms of design because then Palworld could be a nice game on its own
I'm reminded of how Fortnight, arguably the most popular game ever, is a direct rip off of PUBG, which is itself a repackaged Arma 2 mod
It is fun. Of you played Ark it has the same vibes minus the 12 hours of berry hasting to catch one Dino.
It's better than ark.
As someone who spent tens, maybe hundreds of hours on ark... It's so much more fun than ark. I have some good memories from that game, but it's so not worth logging in every single day to feed the dinosaurs
I'm absolutely loving it. I was expecting a total shit post of a game but there is actual depth to this. And for a game this early into early access it's running amazingly. The only real bugs I've run into so far is occasionally my worker pals get stuck and start to starve so I have to throw them into the box and then take them back out real quick. In the end though that happens like three or four times in several hours?
Can confirm: It's fun enough for $26. It's kinda like if ARK, Pokemon, and BOTW had a baby. It is most similar to ARK though, so if you're looking for a straight up pokemon game, this might not be what you're looking for.
I played for 15 minutes and said "I'd rather play BotW."
Beating fluffy animals with a club to death or enslavement just isn't my speed.
Especially when they start running from you...
They know. They're afraid. They won't let you make their name Toby.
It may be fun but I'll never know because it looks very not fun.
If you like survival games (Ark, Rust, Valheim...), you'd probably like it. It's a pretty decent survival game, and getting it's nice having the Pals grind your resources for you.
I know I'd hate it. It looks like a mix of my least favorite game mechanics: grinding, foraging and crafting.
just pirate it
I'm pretty sure John Daly sold his soul to the devil. The more I hear about how he treats his body the more amazed I am that he can still play golf. Or live.
I have yet to have a solid informed grasp of whether Palworld manifested their sources of inspiration in good faith, but my tentative opinion at the moment is that hopefully this presses the Pokemon Company to innovate and elevate their overall game. The switch generation to me represented a generation of mismanagement and obvious management generated timelines and barriers, which is super unfortunate for Pokemon's transition to a console.
Competition hopefully might change that.
It’s clearly got more potential than it’s currently using right now, game is fun but will almost certainly be better in 3-6 months. No shame in waiting for a finished product, either.
