Why does this game deserve to be steamrolled by Nintendo?

Or is your contrarianism so chronic that you'll support literally anything so long as it's the choice that results in annoyance?

>>716239075 (OP)
nintendo are the baddies

>>716239961
I agree but it feels like this board will take their side on this issue and this issue alone because supporting Palworld is too soi or something.

Palworld is genuinely a good game, and shartendo lost all the goodwill I had for them with this (not like if they didn't show they are a malicious corpo before, but this is a new level of low for them).

The bridge is permanently burned.

>>716239075 (OP)
Only retarded nintendo cultists still side with nintendo on this issue.

Yeah FUCK PALWORLD!
I hate having my Pals following me around. I hate the frequent updates and quality of life improvements.

And I especially HATE that the graphics are not just painted on textures on four polygon cuboids

>>716241352
>FUCK PAL
yes.

>>716241146
>but this is a new level of low for them
Not just for them, but for the whole video game industry as a whole. I don't think I've ever seen a developer sue another developer for making a better game than them.

>>716241415
NO, we're supposed to HATE THIS.
Pokemon is better than this!

>sue competitor
>they remove a feature from their game
fuck nintendo
fuck the entire moneygrubbing legal system

>>716241863
It sucks not seeing the Pal help you out, but overall it didnt change much functionally.

>>716241626
I should get a snakey Chilet plushie while I still can.

>>716241980
>It sucks not seeing the Pal help you out.
No "but"s. It fucking sucks that a megacorp can exploit the legal system to bully a smaller company like this. Those fucking Nintendo cowards didn't go after anyone else over a mechanic they didn't even invent.

>>716241146
>Palworld is genuinely a good game

lol?

>>716242532
Yeah, well, no one else did an attempt at changing the Pokemon formula and doing it better than Nintendo has in 30+ years, on their first attempt no less. I fully understand why they're scared, they can't compete because of how cripplingly autistic the people in charge of Pokemon are.

>Competitor does something better
>Instead of improving your own product, just bitch and file a lawsuit

This is Pokemon's attempt to demonstrate the power of the Switch 2 btw.
Palworld can look rough in some spots, but look at these visuals. It's horrible.

>>716241146
It is just a streamlined Ark that is more beginner friendly a better Singleplayer experience and better at pointing the player into doing the PLOOOOOOOOOOT(!?). which is a good thing.

>>716243717
This may have been acceptable as a proof of concept on Switch 1 lol

>>716244123
I can't even laugh anymore. It's just sad that this company can get away with bullying others and delivering the most shovelware trash while still making millions.

There's zero effort or heart put into main Pokemon games anymore.

I bought it dayone and enjoyed it as a cheap indie game sold 20$ but now it's a multi billion company with giant ads in tokyo that doesn't even fucking add a single major content or fix its fucking camera the most fucking important thing in a video game

>>716244378
Money, autism, and brand dedication. It all combines into a big, disgusting, smelly ball of people looking at Pokemon as a lifestyle rather than just entertainment. Their lack of effort is completely unacceptable but you'll never get those claims to stick meaningfully when retards buy this shit at full price en masse.

>>716243717
>This is Pokemon's attempt to demonstrate the power of the Switch 2 btw
I doubt it.
Pokemon Sword and Shield released on the Switch in 2019, two years after the launch of the Switch. And Gamefreak were amongst the very first devs to ever get dev kits long before the launch of the Switch.
And Sword and Shield were still just 3DS games that they up ported to the Switch. They don't give a fuck.

>>716241863
>>716241980
You can bring it back with mods. Fuck nintendo, don't let their lawyers take away your fun.

>>716244840
Them being 3DS games explains a ton. I remember seeing those insanely pixelated JPG backgrounds during battles and my jaw hit the fucking floor at how bad it looked. It was the first Pokemon game I've bought since the GBA era, and the fucking last.

>>716242760
No, for real, if you like monster collecting (as a genre and not just pokemon) then it is very likely that you will like palworld, same if you like 3rd person shooters, it is nice for shooters too because the targets are diverse, not just humans.

>>716239075 (OP)
Because its shit with a faggot fanbase. Pokemon is shit too also with a faggot fanbase. Let these two fags fight it out and hope they both are forced to make something actually good (not gonna happen)

>>716244978
Tsunekazu Ishihara and the TPCi unironically betted against the Switch.
Tsunekazu Ishihara is on record to have said prior to its launch that he didn't think the Switch would be successful. And my personal conjecture is that they really, really wished that they could just continue making 3DS games and that they were upset at the Switch for getting in the way of that.

>>716241980
It ironically buffed those pals because you can use their skills without compromising the speed of faster gliders, hangyu + giga glider + double jump + grapple gun = fun.

>>716245623
That is true. But it doesn't look as cool.

>bait thread
People are buying the game just to spite Nintendo now.

90% of the game is too easy and 10% is such a difficulty spike I'd call it "hard by comparison"
If all the trainers in pokemon kept their shit teams and A.I. and just the Gym Leaders had Smogon teams and improved A.I. that would be the comparison.

I'm a faggot though and i'm only playing with humans. Fuck the dirty disgusting pals. My nigga Tough Thug is my Bro he Hadoken/Kamahamaha's everything and eats autocannon rounds like a champ while I run around chipping away at the shit that I can't hurt for shit.

Best Boy my Steam Cleaner can is making ingots now. I have metal. I'll get guns today. Then I will be able to fuck them upwith the rest of my help. You could call it slavery but It's a hardcore world. They were just gonna stand there and die to not chickens attacking them anyway.

The Worrywart farmer got killed when I baited her wit another chicken. Her chicken and the 2 randoms actually killed her and I put skilled Islander into the bag.

Even with 2000+ health I still get roasted though.

>>716239075 (OP)
It doesn't

>>716239961

I would say that everything is nice and easy until sakurajima.

What's your favorite Pal animation? Be it swimming, eating, resting, whatever.

>schitzotheory
Nintendo and palworld are actually using the legal system as a marketing scheme. When palworld reaches 1.0 it will get quietly dropped and palworld will get a switch 2 release.

>>716241863
but will it come back when nintendo loses?

>>716248202
nice...

>>716248343
The wildest tendie cope of the year award goes to... >>716248343

>>716239961
This. If Palworld wins, it'll be a huge blow to Nintendo, especially if they escalate out of spite (which they will, because Nintendo believes they can't lose). We could very well be looking at the end of days for everyones most hated developer, and I can't wait to see them completely go out of business from their hubris.

>>716239075 (OP)
i don't want either side to lose, but fuck me if palworld isn't doing what Arceus should have done
the fact the Palshave a crap ton of animations for stuff like Walking slowly, running, eating, petting, resting, sleeping, Swimming and all the worl related stuff within the base while pokemon barely has any outside of combat
i wanted Pokemon to be more like palworld

>>716239075 (OP)
It doesn't deserve to be steamrolled by Nintendo, and Nintendo deserves to have all those patents thrown in the fucking trash bin where they belong.
>>716248343
Considering Nintendo is requesting an injunction, I doubt it. Considering that abusing the legal system in a marketing scheme is a literal crime, I double doubt it.

>>716249627
At this point, whatever they incorporate would feel disingenuous.
Ever since HIGH QUALITY ANIMATIONS, I checked out of the series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty5lUK-EM-A

I was OK with Dexcut if it meant more effort, but that clearly wasn't the case lol

>>716249127
I mean its working isn't it? Most companies spend stupid money on marketing. The game was actually slipping out of the public consciousness until the lawsuit. Now you got an army of youtube grifters and shitposters talking about the game for free and a rockstar underdog public image taking on the man.

>>716249627
>I don't want either side to lose
Nintendo is objectively in the wrong here though. Gaming needs to get away from this patenting fucking game mechanics that just stifles creativity in the industry. The last thing we need is big companies stomping out competition via litigation.

>>716249957
The game is back into relevance not because of the lawsuit, is because of the terraria crossover.

>>716250001
Then how are they supposed to compete when someone makes a game that takes away customers?

love this game, really hope nintendo gets raped

>>716250095
Making good games would probably help

>>716250095
Maybe see what people like about the competition, learn from it, and use 1% of their absurd amount of wealth from being THE MOST PROFITABLE MEDIA FRANCHISE ON THE FUCKING PLANET to create higher quality products and lure those customers back?

>>716250460
>>716250741

>>716250221

Customers (supposedly) have free will. No customer is being "taken". I know this is bait, but it's worth mentioning.

>>716253151

But I like palworld. This OP is misleading. Are we allowed change it ?

>>716253454
Works on my machine

>>716253151
Ark cured my insomnia.

A lot of people who grew up with Nintendo think Nintendo is their friend so because their friend is against Palworld, they're against Palworld. Having that kind of bond of loyalty with a friend is fine, but with a corporation? Probably not good for you.

>>716248202

palworld broke /v/ with how popular it was for a short time and all the threads doing the player ccv on it back on release.

It really can't be stated enough how fucking terrible pokemon is and has been for at least decade especially when you factor in the leaps in what vidya is capable of. Palworld being a somewhat competent game with some charm was enough to run laps around pokemon even though pokemon has a golden formula and multi-billion dollar backing

>>716250001
i know they're in the wrong anon, but i don't want them to lose because of their own fuckup, i wanted them to learn from palworld and maybe make their own version with a lot of animations and the chance to show what YEARS of experience in making games can do with such guidance

I prefer it over Palworld but are you fucking insane?

>>716248367
Probably.
Since the court will rule Nintendo's ownership of the patent obsolete.

>>716261141
that's still a long ass time away
there's no doubt Nintendo will lose but they are really trying to take as long as possible

>>716260815
Set to 0, no shame on doing so, waiting takes no skill.

>>716259886
All the (normal) towers are doable in single player as long as your pals have good passives.

Only raids, lv60 oil rig and (hard) towers feel fully balanced around multiplayer, you can still do them single player, but it will take some serious grinding.

should i try to make the last one ferocious or is that over kill? going to eventually breed this into a yakumo

>>716262023

Into the trash it goes.

>>716239075 (OP)
The only people on Nintendo's side are mentally ill troons. No one who is mentally stable plays nintendo games because they're made for people with the mentality of children. Palworld is made for people who want pokemon nostalgia but aren't retarded enough to put up with nintendo's shit.

I'm really enjoying Palworld after playing it for about two weeks. There are way too many monsters that are Dark and or Fire in it though. I've only found like three Grass and Electric pals worth using, there's not enough variety and they're all weak.

>>716259886
It's absolutely not balanced for four people, are you just retarded?

>>716262125
legend doesn't work on yakumo though right

>>716260105
ARK is shit dude, get your fucking head out of their ass.

>>716239075 (OP)
You're a colossal cunt if you think it "deserves" to be steamrolled.

Pokemon has been so stagnant and uncreative in both their new additions to the pokemon world as well as the gameplay of their games for nigh on 30 years. They rest on their laurels of days gone by where a game coded to do the practically impossible on a portable 8-bit system was actually made by coders who knew what they were doing, had the drive and passion to do what needed to be done, and made a titan of a franchise in the process netting nearly $100billion for Nintendo in the process over the years. It should have evolved with it's fans, young and old alike. Branched into multiple genre's beyond the spin-offs we currently have, grown in it's ability to bring better titles to the fray, and taken chances with its ingenuity from the start. But no, they chose the safe and stagnant route.

PocketPair took the core of what made Pokemon a great game and evolved it to a game that many fans agree should have been the path Pokemon should have taken that Gamefreak declined to in fealty of the almighty dollar.

So here we are. Palworld is a success, modern Pokemon is just a cheap imitation of its former self, and Nintendo and Gamefreak is shitting their collective pants because someone not only dared them to do better and picked up the torch when they did not, but has made a killing off of it. And for good reason.

The only people who can legitimately say "Pocketpair is just stealing from the better competition" with a straight face and actually mean it are deluded 40yo gen X virgin autists who haven't moved on, 30yo millenial cucks who valiantly defend Nintendo's "honor", bitter 20yo vets who tasted Pokemon at its finest and were fed shit forevermore, and tweenieboppers who don't know better.

Nintendo/Gamefreak are getting exactly what they deserve. Nothing more. Nothing less.

>>716262483

>>716247909
Katress's "swimming" animation

>>716263663
Go catch a frostalion, is pretty weak and isolated, the area gives you coverage too, look up at breeding trees to pass down legend and demon god to your favorite pals.

Don't bother passing down musclehead, ferocious or anything else, you can give those passives to any pal with the surgery table and 50k gold per passive.

>>716264054
only exotic spheres will work right? tried to catch a level 55 pal with ultimates and it was 0.1% chance to catch at 1hp

>>716263960
That's pretty cool.
I hope Lunaris has something similar.

>>716263960
I love that all pals have their own unique physics. Blazamut is so heavy that it can't swim or use the wind jumps properly only going half way.

>>716264490
Someone managed to capture it with the first Palshere via backshots, but it's not recommended.

>>716265023
You can't use weaker pal spheres anymore they instantly bounce off telling you to use better spheres.

>>716263960
is she standing on you while you swim?

>>716265346
She's actually floating above the water but now I'm imagining katress resting her cute beans on your head while you stay above water for dear life.

>>716264490
Your lifmunk level? legend spheres will do, use mercy ring and make your pals not attack to reduce the HP 1 to then headshot him with legendary spheres.

Honestly pokemon is so fucking shit now it's disgraceful. 30 years and they have done next to fucking nothing to evolve it, in fact it's actually getting worse with each subsequent generation.

Tendies are mentally ill so I'm not really too surprised but you would hope that they would have learned to hold nintendo to a higher standard by now.

i actually liked this game, its what i wanted out of a modern take on pokemon, but you cant really talk about it here because of the furry/pedo/fags on this board...
i really just want gamefreak to sell the pokemon ip to someone competent

Hopefully katress is using her telekenesis magic to make herself light as a feather to not drown her poor master.

>>716267785
i know you're shitposting but after over 2 decades of poor quality games i dont see gamefreak turning the corner and making a good video game, either they hire new blood or sell the ip, otherwise we'll just have another decade of "the new release is arceus v12!"

>>716268083
At this point I'm just fed up with the Pokemon Company. Gamefreak can make good games outside of Pokemon. Its just right now Pokemon's priorities are merchandise and lifestyle branding. The games are just vehicles to make more merchandise instead of being good games.

>>716268459
>Gamefreak can make good games outside of Pokemon.
They can?
the last one I can think of was Drill Dozer.

Either flying mounts need a nerf or every set of islands should have AA guns that shoot your ass down until you beat the tower boss of that area. Once you get a half decent flying pal, even without passive boosts, you can basically go anywhere and walking becomes trivial. Yeah, pre Jetragon mounts are slow faster but in my 150 hours of playtime so far I've never thought "I wish I could run around these mountains at a slightly faster speed instead of just flow over them"
It's a shame too because there's a lot of neat handcrafted paths and exploration options like the grapple gun and the jump spring locations but you rarely engage with any of that past level 15 ish when you get a flying mount.
Okay rant over

>>716268715
There is Tembo the Bad Ass Elephant.

I like the idea of having temporary impediments. Not just for flying, have it just in general. Little challenges that you have to overcome to get some annoyance out of the way.

I love Palworld, but I could never root against Pokemon. I love Pokemon and I want it to be good, but TPC has treated the brand like trash for nearly two decades, GF has been in way over their heads since the move to 3D, and Nintendo also being pieces of shit for nearly two decades with only recently having the mask slip. Worst of all, they still continue to maintain an army of brainless brand loyalists defending, encouraging, and championing every shitty design decision and business practice they put out. It actually makes me ashamed to say I like Pokemon, even in an anonymous environment like this.

>>716274621

Thank you for saving this.

>>716268852
>and exploration options like the grapple gun and the jump spring locations but you rarely engage with any of that past level 15 ish
Personally I don't use a flying mount until Beakon/Ragnahawk. Between the pads, the grappling gun actually working now (it was very broken at launch), and the boost to some Pal's speeds, I think the range of non flying mobility is pretty decent now. Imo even Vanwyrm is too slow to use consistently beyond needing to travel far vertically.

>>716273852
I do agree that there should be more to discourage late game flying spam. Maybe even have a resource that only can be seen on the ground (or with a grounded mount).

>>716274972
I feel you, Pokemon was my favorite thing ever since I was a kid. I enjoyed every pokemon game until USUM which was the last game I bought, but just seeing it devolve into slop as time goes on is really sad and frustrating. For the first few years I was content playing Romhacks and fan games since those were still good, but honestly something's changed and now those kinda bum me out too. It's like looking into an alternate reality of what might exist if GF gave a shit.

>>716274992
It's good to change some things though. For instance, waiting through all the stat changes, the boring as shit wild pokemon battles, inability to skip long animations etc...

The least they could do is add a fast forward like every other modern game, and shelling out a few million to get the animations up to a D-tier standard instead of F-minus wouldn't go unappreciated.

>>716239075 (OP)
Because it's Unreal Engine asset flip slop (they used to be made in unity back in the day). Only things that have any attentions are pals and animations. The gameplay, shooting, walking, climbing, sleeping, building, is all very much bought assets from unreal asset store, and probably also copying gameplay of Fortnite (which I wouldn't be surprised comes defaultly "baked in" Unreal Engine editor, unless developer chooses to spefically make "non-fortnite" feeling game).

Basically it's very soulless game, you get some enjoyment of it sure, but once you start seeing how barren the world is, how everything is just barebones (other than pals), then you finally see the game for what it really is. Quite literally, take away the Pals from the game, and what you have left is Unreal Engine survival game with Fortnite gunplay #12452 or whatever. I value when games used to have their own game engines, at least then there was 0% risk of carbon copying the gameplay. Nowdays, the "ready" engines come with some gameplay baked, which the modern developers (who shit out games in coveryour belt) don't know how to edit out, because they aren't engine developers, and if there wasn't pre-made engine they wouldn't even have a game they could release, basically it's bunch of artits putting some art assets to pre-made game engine with pre-made gameplay settings because these "artists" don't know how to code/edit game engines, which is precisely why, Palworld runs 60fps on 1080p in my PC, whilst Stellar Blade has no problem getting 120+ on 4k, while also looking 10x better than Palworld. Palworld is utterly garbage optimized game, it's BARELY better optimized than MH Wilds, while having those terrible fucking trees and everything other than Pals in the world look absolutely fucking terrible.

I 300 hours into the game, almost completed it, but I honestly can bother anymore, if a game runs so fucking poorly, I'm simply not going to play it on my 4000$ PC. Fuck these shitty games

>>716275310
I thought the same thing. Great art, but the artist could have signed their name inside of the art if they wanted to mark it or something, the watermark is ugly.

>>716275439
They won't because they'll sell millions anyway.

It's a fucking garbage game, but it doesn't deserve to get sued by Nintendo. I like a lot of the Pal designs, but survival/crafting/slop games is just a really shitty genre, with or without friends. The decent designs just makes it really disappointing since the actual game is really bad and generic.

>>716275748
Well admitedly I kinda prefer the gameplay of Palworld over Pokemon games, but the game is just so brutally barebones that I think it really does deserve shat on by Nintendo. It's not like "oh, look how bad modern pokemon games are", that doesn't give them excuse "let's make a game that's barely any better", no no no, two negatives doesn't make a positive, it just makes game industry even worse. Palworld COULD be a good game, if they chose to optimize it, if they hired services of that Threat Interactive guy (throw him 20-40k or something, which is nothing seeing how much money Palworld made), then it would look less like blatant asset flip. Right now they just "cashed in", keep the game forever in "Early Access" so the most vocal fanboys will defend "it's still in beta mate", like I haven't seen this whole shit happen in countless different games already, where only thing getting added is more content, and in worst cases in the form of DLC. Once a game is unoptimized in early access and it already sold all it could (palworld "peaked", I don't think there's going to be any more growth for it), there's very little incentive for the developer to "optimize" a game, especially if none in their team have any skills to optimize their game.

I've asked for map editors for some games, I've seen developers say in forum "it's coming eventually".. but it never does.. you know why? Because they don't have programmers anymore. It would seem these modern studios hire some programmer to do stuff for duration of game's development, and once it's done it's probably removed from team or whatever, I can't come up with any other explanation why nobody in these studios have any skill to program stuff after the game's already been completed, and it's probably one reason why "port begging" (switch port) doesn't always work, because once the game's out there might not be any programmers left. Modern game development and developers are a fucking joke, especially on PC platform

It's okay if you buy Palworld, because nobody cares. It runs shit even on PS5 so it's legitimately not that fun game once you start seeing its issues.

>>716276681
You certainly care enough to keep seething about it ITT

Guys I think Pokemon won. Not big fan of the modern pokemon games, or that pokemon cheater champion, but Palworld will be a game that will be forgotten in years to come. Some of the newer pokemon games might not be visually that great, but people will eventually remember them fondly despite their bad visuals. Game like palworld will be forgotten once aniimo (not gacha btw, just free to play ) or other game is released, it's just a monster taming game among many, and sadly very very generic one, with terrible gameplay. Only thing differentiating it from the others currently are its 3d graphics, but once there are better looking and better looking 3d monster taming games by other developers, nobody will remember palworld, because it doesn't have anything other than monster designs, the gameplay's is not there, there's no "game world", it's all very dead and vacant, even Gen 1 pokemon games were more alive than Palworld it's unbelievable.

I think nintendo is the only one making any real games anymore. Both microsoft and sony have been all about ESG score, DEI hires, making woke shit and stuff.. there's a video covering all of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4uL8e0yk9A , which weirdly enough never mentions nintendo, maybe to not get attacked by his audience

The reason there's strong anti-nintendo sentiment amongst journos is not only is nintendo not paying them enough, but I wouldn't be surprised if blackrock or some of the other "upper" bankers greenlighting hitpieces on nintendo, simply because they're doing too much of "profit based business", and not enough propaganda. Sony and Microsoft has been doing re-education of how their customers should think, and only reason they've managed to do that is because they get blackrock to shit out cash for games like Concord regardless of how well it sells, because the money printer goes vroom and the goyim are gonna pay the inflation prices regardless. Well it could be the inflation is starting to show its signs too much now so they might be easying up on the "fake money" funding campaigns, and gradually moving the companies back to profit based business (so less fake money), probably to get back some trust from conservative customers, or maybe there's some new psyop in the horizon (the modern era of culture wars was single-handedly created during Obama's presidency, it didn't exist prior to that). To make sure their propaganda companies don't go bankrupt during the transitioning back to profit based business, and to close profit gap with companies that did not take ESG fake money and only did profit business (companies like nintendo, whom retained their customerbase during past 10 years), these propaganda companies will start using AI more to close the gap. White CEO is getting replaced with more compliant indian ceo lady, because white CEO couldn't keep his hands away from a gamepad of a canned game. Bad goyim.

Personally, I'd just go with having an impossible to catch, absurdly strong flying pal patrolling islands you shouldn't be accessing yet. You COULD avoid it, but it'll start hunting you down the entire time you're trespassing on its territory.

Also if you do somehow catch it, it'll always be aggressive toward your other active pals, eat all your food, then fuck off.

>>716268852
It was a cashgrab game from day one, the studio would've closed had it not succeeded. Attention to detail was always going to be secondary

Playing hc + nuzlocke rules, randomized pals per region, with pals dealing and taking double damage (for a total of 4x damage when a pal hits another pal)
I'm finding as a result that elemental coverage and especially resistances are actually important for once. I feel like I need to replace one of these with something that has ground type for all the electric fucking shits I'm up against. Anyone got any recommendations? Fenglope has to stay because it's my mount until I can craft Shadowbeak saddle, and ideally the Nitemary would stay too for the +soul drops

More building pieces definitely, and the ability to have a larger base radius (hopefully sooner than the next big update).

>they just fired NINE THOUSAND workers to replace them with indians on H-1B visas
I think that doesn't contradict with what I said. The argument I made was that, these companies have been getting "monopoly money" for 10 years from blackrock, so they could do these crazy shit where they hire entire indian family for maximum ESG score, and then pass the cost of inflation to consumers. But because the cost of inflation is starting to affect too much (or maybe change of government policies, or preparation for some new psyops coming), they're now firing as much of the excess shit that weren't doing anything, and replacing them with anything that costs less. I'm assuming they're also going to be using AI. Basically they're trying to become "investable", but I could be wrong, I don't know if investors require company to be profitable as long as the company keeps getting money directly from the bank printer, if the investors get dividend regardless if they made any actual profit, or if the necessity for good dividend payouts is that the company is actually doing profit based business. Basically I'm saying Nintendo has been after the profits, because they haven't been taking as much of the monopoly play money as western studios or sony has, and it's possible because they've been making more real profit that they've been able to pay more dividends to investors (not sure), and to close that gap the companies that have been doing fake business in the past decade are now going to fire everyone and replace with AI, to close the gap so to regain investor interest and not to bankrupt the company. Idk maybe im wrong

>>716285765
Riding pals is pretty badly done desu. You have to have them out, hold a button and hope they can pathfind to you. Even worse is the fact that they've completely designed movement and scaling the island around using the pals. The player moves slow as shit, like weirdly slow as if they have a leadweight around their ankles or some shit.

They need to increase the player speed and switch pal mounting to a simple button press. One of the main reasons people don't use pals in combat is because it's easier to just boost your own damage and stay on the back of your pal instead of switching them in/out all the time.

The customer has the advantage of purchasing both. So the concept of lost customers is false. You lose customers because of your own fault, usually because of quality, but sometimes because of bad marketing, but you never lose customers to competition, because the customer can always be drawn to both.

>>716285765
No, Palworld doesn't need vehicles that's what Pals are for. Maybe Pal riding could be a bit more streamlined, but if you want to forgo the main attraction of the game for that, then play something else. To me Mounts are mostly fine, being able to move during the mounting animation feels good the only gripe I have is flying Pals falling out of the sky when out of stamina, they should incur a movement penalty instead while regaining stamina midair.

>Why does this game deserve to be steamrolled by Nintendo?
Because it's a combo of stolen assets and purchased shit from the UE store. Gameplay is complete and utter dogshit, a mishmash of genres that don't need to coexist. The chinkoid devs tried to make the world's most generic game, combining Pokemon, crafting, automated machinery, open world shit, and guns.

>>716291220
>better/more fleshed out combat system
Nah see this is completely wrong. Using some outdated barbaric turn based system is shit. The story is too easy and the high tier competitive is just using the same 2% of the entire Pokedex. And eve if I did want to do competitive stuff I am expected to go through some dumb grind fest because that's just what you have to do and breeder fags will have a meltdown if you even breath of a potential way to make it quicker. Its a crappy collecthon too with even less skill needed to catch stuff. The ON LY games that are even decent by Pokemon are the non phone spin offs as they at least try different things. The mainline games are so dull that the only reason to play is to see the new characters, hear the music or the story. At that point Pokémon's better on just making anime instead of a game.

>>716293306
Pokemon's combat is shit. Every gym fight is basically just FLAMETHROWER FLAMETHROWER FLAMETHROWER SURF SURF SURF or some other variation of. At least you need to actually dodge and use some tactics on palworld's bosses unless you massively overlevel/gear them.

>>716268852
Nerfing flight is easy, it takes three things
1)Pals that can be encountered in the air. Oh you think it's sunshine and rainbows in the sky until you get swooped out
2)Better ways to take down aerial stuff (this goes both ways, if enemies below you can down you, so can you and it's not just with antiair missile batteries, it could be more)
3)Treat pal mounts as vehicles, so something like a big fucking turbulent storm can shake you off your jetragon if you are careless (or if you didn't have the right traits/saddle), same deal with damage. Getting hit by something causing you to get knocked down could make flying more interesting.desu

Oh and polish what we got on palworld's EA release, the desert is still a fucking shithole, and more enemy variety. I feel like we should get vehicles, i wanna ride a Celesdir while shooting down some Mad Max ass styled goons trying to hunt me down.

Matter of fact, give us a real desert faction, cowboys or desert marauders (madmax) or egyptian/arabian warriors of the desert, don't care, i want a cool desert region.

>aerial encounters
couldn't you just outrun them?

>>716284025

I honestly want an easier way to get Alpha pals, maybe a simple change to breeding, such as:

if one parent is a alpha, there's a 30%-50% increase chance for the child to be an alpha as well if both parents are alphas then its 50-70&% chance, or maybe a new 'deluxe' breeding pen that has an increase chance of eggs spawning alphas, or an 'alphalizer' machine similar to the surgery table, it just cost more money to use it.

I know the whole thing with them having a bigger hitbox might be bad for certain moves from enemies but the added health should make up for it.Also your webm is a good excuse.

Other than that maybe larger bases or some sort of tunnel between bases for those who build more than one next to each other or they can even give us 'elevators' with those new air things dotted around the map. Encourage us to build taller and etc.

Or a Dr. Brawn style NPC who can give you rainbow passives without wrecking your pal instead, if they don't intend to add them to the surgery table later.

>>716296202
A car can outrun a deer but that won't stop deer #2 from putting a dent on your windshield, besides, i think Jetragon when slurpmaxxed on the best traits, is as endgame as endgame can get so it makes sense to have a point where you can peacefully soar the skies, but for anything slower, i think aerial encounters could balance that stuff out.

Alternatively, ripoff xenoblade and have it so wandering near Jetragon's aerial space gets you jumpscared.

>Pokemon x WSJ
Its over, Palbro...
We lose...

>>716295173
Even worse is that there's nothing else to do. Catching stuff is again just battling but even more boring as wild fights are never hard. Everything not in your party lives in your box doing nothing. There's no building, no player items. Other then battling you just wander around talking to NPCs. Even Pals not for battle have a purpose and you are invested in making them work as it helps you. If you don't like Pokemon's base battling there's literally nothing else to do except crappy minigames.

FPBP. Their essentially an extremely letigious oligopoly that uses its influence to crush healthy competition because they're not as competent and productive as they used to be. It's plain corporate socialism with a side of fascistic economic lobbying. I hope they die as a company, because all of the greats that made Nintendo what it was at its peak, are long gone now and replaced by blackrock and vanguard corporatist middlemen and sycophants. Let them die.

>shartendo lost all the goodwill I had for them with this
I won't say Palworld is THE reason I'm not buying anything Nintendo ever again (even more so when the last one I did was Pokemon X 12 years ago), the multiple emulator controversies and rabid defense of their ip's to the point of being malicious already did that a long time ago, but how they're handling Palworld definitely is the one that set that sentiment in stone for me

It truly bothers me that Palworld was the one to scare the pokemon brand compared to its various competitors back in pokemania's time. Game's not that good (par with the early access course) yet it got Nintendo and its cultist audience pissing in every cardinal direction. And it did so without a major multimedia push.

>>716297795
they got iffy because is another japanese game
and they moved only when Sony put their name next to it
it weakens their jap power, and they are still a yakuza tier company

>>716297795
did you forget when they took out gunpei yokoi back in the day for the unforgivable sin of joining forces with bandai to launch the wonderswan?

>>716298537
I'm talking primarily about pokemon and its competition, not nintendo as a whole. I am aware Yokoi was an inside job, Yakuza style, but that's nothing to do with Palworld being the one to make Nintendo/TPCi/Gamefreak shit themselves and not Digimon or Monster Rancher or Megaten or DQM or anything that has something to do with catching monsters

Now ask yourself: why did Pocketpair made the game worse for you instead of replacing the contested features with ones that don't infringe on Nintendo's patents.

I got ark when they make it free to own but only recently have I seen a youtuber play it and he openly talks about how griefers (russians and chinks) go out of their way to kill the game since the devs have basically abandoned the game.

I still want to play the game soon but i'm gonna figure out how to host a server so me and my bros can enjoy some comfy dino raising while not having to worry about some niggers dedicating their life to ruining our fun.

these types of multiplayer pvp survivalslop games really aren't fun without friends or private servers.

>>716288734
>The only time anyone mentions this FOTM slop is when bitching about Nintendo.
This is the truth of the matters. If Palworld existed in a void without "nintendo bad" semantics/antis, nobody would even bat an eye for palworld. Sure there would be fans, but there would be no discussion, it would be played, but by how many? Basically only reason this game is ever brought up is because trannies are getting felted by nintendo.

>>716243717
Fuck me, this looks like shit! I get it's supposed to be cartoony and anime in style because it's Pokemon but this looks like play-doh. And what the fuck is up with those green lights in the alleyway?!

>>716300254
That's because Digimon, despite having good anime at one point, their other stuff sucks ass. How many people were able to beat that first PS1 game? Who the fuck even liked those dungeon crawler games that followed? When was last time you played a good Digimon game? Even in anime, only the adventures 1 and 02 were good. Basically Digimon is as much dead series as .hack series is

Palworld is the lowest tier asset flip that people bought because either "pokemon with guns" or their favourite streamer played it before them.
Nintendo grew so big that the dev team talent got diluted with nepotism hire and now beurocracy costs more to them than to make anything that's not hacksawed togheter at the last second.
Palworld vs Pokemon is the equivalent of seeing two monkeys fight, entertaining but dumb as hell.

>>716314534
>>716314959
>>716315773
nta, but from some video I saw, I think ARK is some kind of PVP game, that's become way too serious and toxic. Basically it harbors human trash worse than in league of legends, hackers that try to ruin your fun regardless which server you play on etc. , basically ton of social rejects escaping reality and lashing their problems into other people in toxic form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeiniJjO1g8

>>716316906
Lol don't play ark, play other games like it. Maybe there are some other games like it that aren't as bad or brewed in toxicity

Fuck nintendo, if they still had the developer chops to put out a competitive product, maybe they wouldn't need to resort to petty retro-active patents just to fuck over a single game. They started lagging behind in the Gamecube era and never caught up. They've moved from the PS3 to the PS4, graphically, while everyone else is mid-to-late PS5.

Nintnedo takes a baby step forward and we all cheer, like they're a 98 year old in a walker and every second they're still alive is a miracle. They make an open world game with tower-based map unlocks and we all cry "GAME OF THE YEAR!" They make the sequel Nuts N' Bolts and everyone applauds their genius.

Pokemon is an unpolished turd, all the talented design work is now devoted to anime waifu characters, instead of pokemon. Imagine if they had the character designers drawing monsters instead of underage girl in the woods #314. I've even heard there's a pokemon Gatcha where you roll for the trainers and not the pokemon.

Palworld being borderline plagiarism is satire, to me, but the reason Nintendo had to respond was because it was recognized, both critically and financially, that Palworld made modern Pokemon look like a fucking joke, because it is.

These people made what they could with creation kits and purchasable assets, they released what they had when they ran out of money, and you're telling me Game Freak is incapable is beating that level of quality? Palworld isn't really that good, it's just that the bar set by the franchise is so fucking low, they soared over it by being mid.

>>716317634
You do know that Nintendo has no creative control in Pokemon right? The Pokemon Company pretty much exists to prevent that. Nintendo devs do not work on Pokemon games.

>>716317634
I think Nintendo's is still plenty capable enough company. I don't know the real reasons why modern pokemon games aren't as good as old ones, but one could speculate that they were put on a leash that killed their creativity or something, since they've had to make too many games in such quick succession (remember it takes longer time to make modern games than games in the past, so for them to make that many modern 3d pokemon games in such short amount of time, meant they had to do cuts in quality)

>>716318079
You may not like nintendo, but it's still most respected gaming studio in modern day. Rest of the gaming industry is filled with DEI and ESG shit

>>716318226
What the fuck are you talking about? Nintendo began sterilizing their localizations harder than anyone else, more than a fucking decade ago.
They're full of Treehouse bullshit now, which is literally exactly what you're accusing the rest of the industry of.

>>716318145
Have you seen any of the non pokemon games Gamefreak has created? They are all garbage too. Gamefreak are just devs that were never any good and lucked out with Pokemon on gameboy.

>>716318348
>Nintendo began sterilizing their localizations
Yes, because all big companies have to do little bit of it, because blackrock mandates it. It's just that nintendo is doing far, far less of this shit than rest of the industry

>>716318145
It's always the biggest IPs that seem to suck ass since they want to play it safe and never majorly inovate in fear to displease the "core" audience.
At this point just go back to the basics but make it with a much larger budget in mind if they really want to keep things the same.

>>716318776
it's remarkable how many good pokemon games there exist. Can't say the same about many other game series. Just look something like Mega Man, you can't tell me with straight face that they're all good

>>716318971
Of course not, but MegaMan has probably the most good "homages" out of all IPs mostly due to how easy these kinds of game are to make.

>>716316906
SnailGames' (ARK's publisher) CEO is also actively playing the game and is now banning whole clans that he deems as a threat to his alpha clan he ironically operates across every public server. He even protects hackers within his clan.

>>716318776
Didn't the """"SOVL""""" retro artist get C&D'd by nintendo ninjas last year?

>>716319603

Nintendo is one of few profit base companies left in the video game industry, so they have every right to defend their IPs and designs, when rest of industry is getting their money from money printer. Just look something entirely different industry, like camera industry, now that's what real competition looks like, it's still all profit driven and none of the ESG blackrock money shit.

If you have ps5, I think you should try it there first. If you like it you might end up getting it on PC later on, too, but I see PS5 being more forgiving environment than PC.

Why did they give her such big meaty thighs

just like pokemon, I only enjoy palworld for the funny creatures. I guess it's okay if I have a mental breakdown and need a survival sloppa to play, too, but I'm not a big fan of long term grinding.

>>716336553
>I'm not a big fan of long term grinding
this kinda kills the game. It's fun for the first 22 levels or so, but gradually towards mid and late game the grind just becomes tedious. I also don't think outsourcing the "difficulty curve" to the player by telling them "well set it up how you like it" is the solution either, not is player having to rely on 3rd party mods that increase palstorage 4-6x bigger for better breeding programs. Basically when it comes to gameplay I think the devs got a little bit too lazy, and it's that area that's holding the game back from its true potential

>>716336273
Better at giving thighjobs

>>716336751
Could blame early access for not having every feature planned readily available, but the tradition of grinding is self evident that grind for the sake of more grind isn't its intended purpose. It works as a gate right now to show you, "you're shit right now, and you can only have chickens and cows, but you could have a pretty cool ferret in a couple hours". But when I last tried it, crafting a slightly better ball than the last ball was ludicrously expensive in time spent getting it than the percentage it promised. If the power you gain doesn't feel exponential in terms of acquiring those resources, then games at least rely on something like an actual story to get invested in and being given really good benefits for following that story and side missions.

but I'm guessing right now it's just padding because they need to actually finish the game, and the ARK formula calls for an eternal grind rather than a story balanced one.

I have a mirrored opinion where I like Pokemon and am completely disinterested in Palworld, but I can never root against Palworld. It's just a completely different type of game with the same focus on monster collecting (but with automation and survival shit on top).
It's such a weird cultural divide because PocketPair vs Nintendo has genuinely nothing to do with the value of their respective products.

Bruh, you're just changing the graphics settings.

My opinion is that some of the newer pokemon games have been undercooked, but not monstrously terrible. Legends arceus was really good, definitely the best out of newer generations. But I also think nintendo is awful and needs to fuck off because palworld is cool and should be allowed to exist. I'm not a tendie (don't even own a switch 2) and I'm not a palshill.

[Sad news] Sony's "Palworld Entertainment" reports final loss of 42 million yen for fiscal year ending March 2025

Palworld Entertainment's final loss for the fiscal year ending March 2025 was 42 million yen. This was revealed in the "Financial Results Announcement" published in the "Official Gazette" on June 30th.

The company is a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment (SME), Aniplex, and Pocket Pair.

It was established in July 2024 to promote the domestic and international licensing business for Pocket Pair's game "Palworld."

"Meta" teams are pretty rare actually

Fuack looks so silly, I love it.
It's the kind of pal I'm glad exists but that I'd never actually have in my team if that makes sense.

Honestly, something I dislike about Pallworld is that it follows the newer Pokémon design philosophy.

Can't speak for everyone, but I thought the palworld devs were Chinese, so I sided with nintendo, but it would be funny if both of them lose.

>>716364208
BOTW and nu-Pokemon games like S/V have made record-shakering levels of profit so it's not hard to see why Pal devs made their game open-world crafting slop too.

>>716364709
I mean, in terms of how the Pals are designed. For me, Palworld gets a plus for being an actual open-world crafting game rather than having it just tacked on to the linear RPG framework.

Though that does remind me of a smaller issue I had with it. It kinda has the opposite issue with the RPG elements feeling tacked on.

If only the game had actual gameplay, and proper multiplayer, it would be good game. Aniimo will BTFO this game since it has real multiplayer, and better gameplay (also its free to play, and from what I understood isn't gacha)

>>716365414
Not going to play Aniimo, shill

>>716365707
It's free to play, meaning that fact alone will gather millions of users to try the game. It remains to be seen if it's free of gacha elements or not, but so far from what I understand, it's not a gacha game.

Also the gameplay/combat looks much, much better, since it seems to have some Monster Hunter elements... I'll take Monster Hunter combat any time of the day any year over the combat of Fortnite (which's baked into Palworld, since it's probably the default gameplay in Unreal Engine game and the devs didn't bother changing any of the settings since they're artists and not game devs)

I'm checking it now, it seems to have really heavy gacha game energy.

if the trailers are showcase of what the game will be like, then it looks to have more polish than Palworld does. The main problem of palworld is despite pals looking good, most of the other stuff lacks ton of polish. It might be in EA currently but no I don't think they'll ever fix it, they already got their bag

>>716366132
Is it one of those PC-mobile multi-platform games that always play like shit?
