Not really sure it's for me but I am just happy that it really annoys Nintendo

MODERATORS
Out ofthe loop here. Why does Nintendo care?
Nintendo spent a load of money and resources in a protracted legal battle trying to get the project canned by suing them for everything they could think of. It ended in them forcing Palworld to remove the ball throwing mechanic, because apparently Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.
Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.
Patented, which is even dumber
And the gliding with monsters
Damn, didn't know that.

I hope so. I played the game last year and everything felt a bit lackluster and janky. It's a pretty fun game, but I hope 1.0 adds that polish it needs.
I was planning on starting a new world once 1.0 drops and was worried how big this update will be. This gives me some confidence. I really like what they have done so far and can‘t wait to see how they‘ll wrap it up.
Hey, I doubt it! Still totally on board to spite nintendo tho
Less tell more show.
There are loads of technical issues with Palworld that put me off from buying it.
There's another game that mashed Pokémon and Palworld called Pickmon i think, still in early access but they are copying both games shamelessly.
There's Pokopia. An actual Nintendo made game that just came out. My BF got it recently, and it's basically Pokemon+Minecraft+Animal Crossing+Palworld's automation using the Pokemon.
It's super good and I want it now. 😳
One problem with that: it's actually made by Nintendo. Fuck Nintendo.

It's just mostly just a reskin of Dragon Quest Builders. Pokopia is Builders 3.
They used an animal crossing menu UI. Removed the combat. Added pokemon. Exact same story and mechanics.

Is it steam deck compatible? Like controls wise?
My kid plays it on the deck, he's 7. So, I guess it's fine.
Then I very well might to be able to tank it. Glad your kid did the research.

Oh, I thought these headlines were from the past and this was roasting Pocketpair for saying that
If they can give the environments a stronger, more "toon" art direction, and fix the player character's chopped looks, no one will be able to pull me off this game!!!
I was thinking about buying this game on a sale.
Can anybody tell me how the game compares to its first release? The game peaked at 2 million consecutive players, that's a lot!
I last played it a couple of months ago. It's significantly more fleshed out than the initial release, which seemed pretty empty and boring by comparison. Crafting isn't really my thing but they make it relatively easy and not as annoying as many other games. Overall it's worth checking out. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would

Just play Abiotic Factor.
Abiotic Factor is not a bad game, but holy shit is that such a different game.
Thats like if someone was craving chicken noodle soup and you said "just have chili".
