A good story, fun characters, an interesting world with facisnating world building. A fantastic battle system. It's a shame Cassette Beasts didn't get as much hype as Palworld is getting.

Not to shit on Palworld or anything, I just feel that half the attention it's getting is a little ... unearned...

Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.

I don't like rust.

I don't like building a full building inch by inch. I don't like having to worry about eating too. I can't speak to Palworld, but I don't like rust's empty world, devoid of NPC's short of playing it coop with a lib. I don't like literally every tiny thing having to be crafted, especially with it having its own little crafting subsystems like crafting firewood for fuel for a furnace which crafts materials that are used in another crafted device to craft something else. I also despise crafting and working farms.

One of the few mercies this game offers is Pals to pick up the pace.

I'm going to give it a chance but I'm already going in expecting to be disappointed.

One simple improvement would be being able to just plop down full buildings, but I don't believe that's possible at all.

In case of you were feeling that urge to partake in the flavor of the month and don't want to waste money, the linked thread already has the clean files and crack in multiple posts with multiple DL options.

Repeat after me: Our local Hexbear devs are the only ones that you shouldn't steal from.

Hope y'all enjpy the free game. It's like ark, but for people who value their time.

Also apparently Castlevania? But im no expert

Also i can think of three movie franchises with the opposite perception of the second entry: The Godfather, Star Wars, and Shrek.

They name their game PALWORLD and it doesn't even run at 50hz?

What if someone did a takedown of Pokemon that fully explores the implications, but the thing is that a takedown of Pokemon cannot be fun. If its fun then its just grimdark Pokemon. Its "do not do this cool thing" ludonarrative dissonance. Youre not getting anything truly cool out of that.

We it would need to be a pain to play. Like Spec Ops: The Line, but Pokemon. Or maybe Undertale: Genocide Run but Pokemon specifically instead of JRPGs generally?

Palworld is definitly not that lol. It revels in the fucked upness as far as i can tell. It doesnt even shame you so you dont even get the "do not do this cool thing" aspect. And it endevors to be fun (ymmv on success).

But Im wondering if a game that says to Pokemon what Spec Ops: The Line said to military FPSes is possible?

She also shoots Griffith.
