*concurrent :D
oh damn, I didn’t notice. Thanks
Is it any good, though?
I’d say too frustrating. And the zelda / pokemon clone fun only gets you so far.
The building mechanics are pretty bare. And the monster pathfinding/automation could use work.
Otherwise, it’s enjoyable.
It’s really good, they got rid of the tediousness that usually comes from survival games by letting pals take care of the repetitive tasks for you.
It also has some really fun and dumb ideas.
I typically don’t download games in preview, but I’ve found quite a bit of depth and cozy fun here. There’s some weirdness and definite room for improvement, but I can recommend it.
It’s basically Pokemon in a survival world, but both your character and the Pals level up which is interesting, and the tech tree had some significant depth to it
Have you caught a person yet?
I tried this last night, i felt very guilty! To make myself feel better I then club penguins to death.
holy shit brb
I’m waiting for PALWorld 2, NTSC
PALWorld 2: Revenge of SCART
Definitely considering this one, it looks like Pokémon flavoured Ark. Ark is incredible but also hot garbage and player experience hostile (micro raptors? Ichtheyornis? Pegomastix? The fuck outta here) not to mention the insane bugs that are just completely ignored for years… Something similar from a different studio is pretty appealing
It’s also totally BotW. Like the whole start of the game is almost a direct rip off of BotW’s intro.
I need to play it before Nintendo sues them
Parody homage.
There’s a lot of other parodies/references to other games in there too, like a dungeon entrance that looks almost exactly like an elden ring evergoal circle :p
PALworld, but what about SECAMworld did PAL win?
can you imagine this happening on egs
I tried it on Xbox SX and it crashes every few minutes. It’s really not even playable currently.
Xbox and PC Gamepass launched with an older version of the game than Steam waiting for MS to approve the update.
It just got patched this afternoon, I imagine it runs better now. Although, I had only minimal problems launching and playing the game from PC Gamepass this weekend.
Is it really that good? It feels like a meme to me
Honest opinion: Gameplay mechanics are really interesting, visuals are quite good. If you ever wanted a “pokemon but without keeping it kids friendly” game, this might scratch that itch just fine.
I didn’t got deep into this game, but it has a noticable lack of direction. The game doesn’t tell you what to do aside from the basic base building; but I like it.
Oh also, it’s quite buggy in this state and crashed occasionally; so you might want to give it a few more updates before buying if you dislike that.
The trailer reminded me of that other game craftopia that really didn’t click with me. Pulled up the trailer for that and wouldn’t you know it, same developer. Craftopia still isn’t out of early access and sits at a comfortable 57% (recent) steam user rating. So I doubt I’ll get palworld.
FWIW, I tried to like Craftopia and it didn’t click, but I’m really enjoying Palworld. If you enjoy Pokemon you should be able to get your money’s worth.
I’m very wary of early access, they always change too much and it’s like I own a different game by the time it gets released. IF it gets released.
It’s funny you mention this because I actually love early access games because I like seeing the game change and evolve over time.
To each their own
I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth with how much I’ve played the current version. If they somehow pull a cubeworld and make it worse, I’m sure the community would love to source an old and good version.
What happened to battlebit?
Devs started making changes that killed a lot of fun to, presumably, appeal more to CoD players. Some of the balancing decisions also made a lot of the guns a bit less exciting to use and made most of them essentially the same thing. The two most popular classes (medic and sniper) have been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like they are trying really hard to curate a very specific experience, and that seems to have burned out a lot of people or driven others away.
Personally, I think they should have leaned harder in the direction of more realism and rewarding creativity.
Sniper and Medic are the peak COD classes though. Assault rifles/SMGs with infinite self-heal or sitting somewhere back one-shoting people.
I felt the game move away more from COD since not everyone is running Medic with Vector. Also Sniper and Medic are still the most popular classes, so they were certainly not nerved into oblivion.
Yea a lot of the changes they made kinda killed it for me which is a shame because I absolutely loved the game for the first few months.
Wym? It’s still there populated with plenty of servers.
idk
Unheard of. Csgo is actually not in 1st place??
should come back to the top after a few days. A few releases are able to become the most played game on steam, it’s a very impressive feat.
I’m waiting for the reveal that all assets have been AI generated.
Now that you mention it: The monsters kind of feel that way. The lacking art direction supports that feeling, too.
I would not care if they were.
For somebody specifically interested in the online competitive format of Pokemon - is there anything of the sort in Palworld? The last game that kind of scratched that itch for me was the Digimon Cybersleuth series.
No, at this time it is mostly a PvE experience. It is a lot more comparable to Ark thank Pokémon.
Pokémon art for the pals, Ark style gameplay
Im using connect on android and filtered out this palword mess
But its still showing up, can any other connect user see this help me out for a moment? Would be much appreciated
