Anyone check this game out? My little bro is telling me to try it. I guess it is similar to Pokemon. It is free on Game Pass right now so I might give it a try this weekend. It seems to have really blown up. Like a hell of a lot of people are playing it right now. it is still in beta though.

Palworld is an upcoming action-adventure survival game by Japanese developer Pocket Pair. The game is set in an open world populated with animal-like creatures known as "Pals". The players can battle and capture Pals in order to use them for base building, traversal, and combat. Palworld can be played either solo, or online by up to 32 players on one server.

Nope. I refuse to watch anyone play it and I am not playing it myself. They allow people to "release" a pal with a cleaver. (Use your imagination here.) So, a big nope from me. I also tend to shy away from games that are pushed this hard to go popular/viral quickly.

Apparently, there is some suspicious chatter involving AI and NFTs surrounding the creator/game. I remember gamers and artists raging about how AI and NFTs are going to harm everyone... It's funny, because some of those same people are ok with this AI suspicion surrounding the creator/game because they want to teach Nintendo & Game Freak a lesson. It's so hypocritical.

I’ve seen a few Vtubers play it. Especially with the Pokémon mods. I’m enjoying the drama of Nintendo being one up’d as it were.

Found an article about the cleaver thing. Here's a screenshot:



Not something I'm trying to do OR see included in a game like this. Here it is in action:

Poor man's Pokemon, though apparently it's not as buggy as the real Pokemon.

It's also a $30 game.

Digimon
Bakugan
Metabots
Tem Tem
Pokémon
Dragon Quest
PalWolrd

Just to name few

Collecting and trading and battling, each with their own flair is all I’m saying.

It's not wrong for games to have their own flair, but let's not overlook copying.

Besides, that's not my concern with the game, nor the reason why I'm not playing it. What do you think of using a cleaver to release your animal and human pals (human slaves?)? Or the sweatshop and slave jokes surrounding the game?

I didn't hear about any of this, damn. I mean people are going to hate on it cause a lot of people are playing it. People were outraged over the Finals for AI reasons as well. I just can't keep up these day lol

So many people in their feelings over something which doesn't effect them.

Play the game if you enjoy it. Plagiarism is the Pokemon Company's problem.
