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

    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.

      They plagiarized a bunch of Pokemon and used the publicity generated to bring attention to their game.

  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.

  Less tell more show.

  There are loads of technical issues with Palworld that put me off from buying it.

  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.

  I was thinking about buying this game on a sale.

  Can anybody tell me how it 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

  There’s another game that mashed Pokémon and Palworld called Pickmon i think, still in early access but they are copying both games shamelessly.

    Pokopia. An actual Nintendo made game. 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.

  Any updates on the legal side of things? Didn’t Nintendo officially open up a lawsuit not too long ago?

    Nintendo mostly lost. They did have to make some minor game updates, glider pals no longer appear when gliding, and you can’t throw a captured pal’s sphere on summon.
