Games

This game bites a lot of other games, but it's fun to play which is more than I can say for any Nintendo Pokemon game in recent memory.

Found a list of pal and Pokémon comparisons. And frankly, I think it just shows how lazy Pokémon has always been. Sure the two sheep monsters and the two stingray monsters look similar, but that's because stingrays and sheep actually exist!

Should we start in on gamefreak for ripping off reality?

Lots of controversy around this game. Gotta say, no one really cares. Well no one who doesn't find something to complain about each day on social media anyway. Dunno about you all, though I am fucking tired. So much shit just wrong nowadays and while I do my part where I can, when it comes to games I honestly just want to sit down and have fun. Palworld is fun. Lots of potential that is likely to be built upon and just enough depth right now that I can hop into the world and actually feel just a bit of that original wonder from so many years ago. Something our old pals Game Freak and Nintendo have, much like Nvidia did years ago, purposefully opted to barely refresh the concept as time has gone on.

There have been plenty of fanmade Pokemon games that have done it better than the devs of the actual, official, licensed main games. Hell, there have been sideloaded Pokemon titles better than the cash grabs of the last few years. I for one hope Palworld lights a positive "better-than-thou" fire under Nintendo. The literal best move they could make now, imho, is run with the larger community response and release something truly mildblowing.

At least people are coming to defend Nintendo, a 10 trillion dollar multinational company, I would feel bad if the only people defending Nintendo were their army of famously aggressive lawyers.

Just seems like enraged impotence engaged more than anything. I’d be more concerned about Pokemon Go players behind the wheel, if they’re still out there.

I literally can't fathom sending a death threat. It would take an effort to come up with the content of the threat. And that assuming I'd be so angry that I'd decide to threaten someone. It's just so much effort, first to get angry enough and then express that anger in the form of a threat and then find a way to send that threat to the outlet person.

It actually makes me sad for the people who send those threats, because their lives must be so incomprehensibly shit to actually go through with it. They're still bags of dicks though.

Nintendo and Game Freak execs have wet dreams about developing a Pokemon game this interesting.

They haven't iterated on their formula since the first game. The 3D version could have been a 2D re-skin.

Ah yes, death threats, the dumbfuck mean of communication.

If you're getting death threats, that means you've made it. Your project is popular enough for the sociopaths to reach out.

So as long as you're not getting DMCA requests, keep doing what you're doing.

Pokemon? You mean the Shin Megami Tensei rip-off?

If anything, they're ripping off Digimon.

Palworld has done better than Nintendo has been with characters lately.

Have you seen the latest gen? ~~Flamenco~~ Flamigo? ... seriously?

Sadly, this is normal online. Many people with some sort of exposure online will receive death threads. Some communities are more prone to it than others.

Pokémon, Sonic, Osu! and many Gacha Game communities, for example, have an unusual amount of crazy fans. When you attract their attention you will become a topic in their communities.

Wait until those trolls hear about tamagachies.

I wanna see Nintendo publicly announce that palworld is like Pokemon. 🤣
