      that "shady stuff" was outright proven to be fabricated by someone with an agenda against palworld, and it would be good to idea to stop perpetuating that "they copied the models" hoax. the person who created that "evidence" admitted to altering the models to try and force them to match when they don't. the person in question specifically hated the violent themes in the game and was trying to hurt it

    Cut to months later and Palworld has released several updates. Several QoL updates, a raid boss, items, remolded some pals and have planed an even bigger update for the summer.
    They really seem to be in this game for the long haul and I look forward to it. They will finish this game.

      Pocket Pair to me seems like a game studio that has no veteran talent and just wants to break out big without the requisite knowledge to do so. All of their previous games very heavily lean on other more popular games and are all relatively simple in design (often using pre-made assets from the Unreal store). So when they started on Palworld and initially released the trailer back in Xbox's indie showcase a few years back and it got a lot of eyeballs (similar to Cuphead's story) suddenly the studio knew it had to focus on Palworld and make a product people would share and enjoy. The early success led to them being able to hire more senior talent who actually knows what they're doing which is leading to a more competent product.
      My guess is even if Palworld isn't "the one" to put Pocket Pair on the map, it's a critical stepping stone for them for their next game now that they'll actually have the skilled developer talent to make that project a success and the clout to get a publisher to publish whatever they decide to make.

      @@MetronaJ The move from Unity to Unreal is what created a lot of the problems with the game though, have you seen the pre-unreal footage? It's like a whole different game! They had the remake a lot of assets and start over with the actual game part when they moved to Unreal, including the world map. The environments shown in the Unity footage just fit the style of the pals better, more Pokémon, less breath of the wild. Also in the move we lost the factories and piece-by-piece building and instead got crafting stations and blue holograms that fill up as it builds.
      Although with the move they did dodge the bullet of Unity's proposed "charge per installation" bullshit, so that's nice I guess

    Whats really amazing about palworld is the fact that pals can actually dodge. In pokemon you have to depend on special items, rare pokemon personalities and odds to guarantee that your opponents move will fail on their turn while in palworld your pals can just step aside when a move comes their way. In pokemon arceus your pokemon can lose half their hp from a single move and a pal will straight up teleport out of the way. Watching my anubis and bushi take on bosses give me goosebumps because they're just so good at dodging incoming attacks. Pokemon could never. I played palworld for 100 hours before i went back to arceus, after taking on a mass outbreak and watch 4 pokemon take turns decimating my empoleon while it just stood there i turned my switch off. I didnt even bother saving.

      There's also the fact your player is more actively engaged in combat. Not only do you have weapons, but you can recall them into their sphere before they get hit if they can't dodge in time. The fact you're carving out a settlement alongside Pals; it mechanically is what Arceus tries to tell you it is. It's a game where you aren't simply wielding Pokemon, but living alongside them.

      They can work at your base, just craft shit but still. Also, other than merchants being in your base being a huge deal, all humans are the same, so once you can capture them relatively easy, you can commit a crime and have tons of guards spawning, giving you basically an infinite amount of resources (as long as you have balls to catch them with), and basically create an immortal god.

      I played pokemon series, and now its feels like a palworld ripoff. Lol.
      I always think the competitive aspect is a weird part of pokemon. I have no trouble with grinding and doing meta strategy. My problem is that the world is too colorful to be wasted on one final party of one strat.
      I do wanna catch them all, but pokemon too much IV and EV breeding focussed. Breeding one species too much to get hyper stats.
      While in palword, this aspect are reduced, while added with base building gameplay and trading that give value to the poor halfbreed pals hatched.
      Their soul like gameplay (should you choose this difficulty) is also simply a mindblow. Not a japanese RPG with ATK DEF command, but a complete different strategy I can choose in my combat. I can ask pal to battle them, or im battling them myself, or make my pals support me in battle, or both of us battle together with the guns.
      That combat aspect is just the final nail in the coffin for me. Instead of spamming statbuff moves and sweep my enemy, I can watch my large blingy dinosaur doing salvos of missile launchers. While riding that bad ass dino, dang.
      Its just what I want from a pokemon game. The colorful world with fitting design of its aspect.
      The fact that the world is gorgeous in my PC is also a big plus too.

      The main campaigns can *usually* be beaten this way… although even some of the Elite Fours and champions of some generations will kind of throw a wrench into that. The post games usually have content that will screw you if you played this way though. And then with Scarlet/Violet now, you’re gonna have a bad time with the somewhat challenging double battles that make up the second part of the DLC campaign if you played like that until then (so in a sense, you’ll have a rough time actually finishing the story as it’s defined at that point, if you can beat that at all) and you’re SOL for raids. Finally, every game since the 3DS has made the EXP share, on either by default or even recently made so you can’t even turn it off, set up so you kinda have to go out of your way not to have some semblance of a team at this point. This comment seems more based on cliches and memories of the older games than how the series has actually worked since the days of the 3DS and onwards.

      I kinda agree and kinda disagree. It’s true they both share the same root concept, that being Anubis, so it’s not really accurate to say one copied the other. On the other hand there’s the point that it might have been chosen specifically because Lucario is so popular. It’s not illegal, I would even say the design is good. I wish they’d done it more as a mage than a fighter but then OG Anubis is a mage and it would have helped differentiate it from Lucario.

      When they say that you have no control over the Pal, but in reality you can control if your partner attacks everything around him, if he only attacks the one you decide to attack or if he simply does not attack anyone.
      And not only that, by playing with the order of the attacks and their cooldown times you can organize your strategy so that it attacks the way you want, although not necessarily in the exact time you expect, unless you use a Pal of mount, in that case you can control everything.

    • @main135s
      @main135s 4 місяці тому +17

      There is still *some* rocky edge cases, though. For example, Azurobe's model bears an incredibly striking resemblance to Prismarina; the hair is so similar, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that, at the very least, whoever designed Azurobe was directly looking at Prismarina when making it... especially when you consider the color scheme (plus the pink of Azurobe's tail being a match for Popplio's nose).
      In addition, while serpent-like body types will almost always be similar, adjusting the bones of Azurobe's model so the lengths match with Serperior shows nearly identical vector rings. The odds of this happening by accident are *nearly zero*, and it's much more likely that someone started with a Serperior model and adapted it into something else; perhaps using the rings for scaling, adjusting them how they wanted, and then re-making the model from there (as the Azurobe model does have more polygons).
      That said, Nintendo has always been super hardcore about copyright and plaigarism, and if there was a leg to stand on in Japanese court, we wouldn't have a Palworld, so it's probably transformative enough.

    I think what was also makes Palworld’s world less empty is there is actual reason to catch more of the same type of Pal. Either by giving more exp for each capture which helps you level up or by having efficient pals work in the camp. That was kinda my problem with LA where as soon as I caught most mons there really wasn’t much incentive to catch like 10 more

The amount of content this pre-1.0 game has is mind-blowing. And the best part is that it's enjoyable to go back to places where the enemies could one-shot you and just tank every hit. On the surface it seems a bit repetative but with how unique the bosses are it, it feels like a totally new experience every time you fight another boss.

      ​@@triadwarfare Eh, Monster Taming is a niche genre, so most devs in the space are pretty small, with the obvious exception being the two-hundred pound gorilla that is pokemon. There are some real-time games, but they're few and far between, and a steam search on the awful "creature collector" tag tells me that a lot of them are on the weaker end of the spectrum. If you're looking for alternatives to traditional mon games, right now I'm keeping my eye on Skyclimbers, which has its public beta coming up this summer(?). It's a real-time adventure/citybuilder with monster taming that's been in the works for about as long as Palworld. I only didn't bring it up in the previous because it's not out and I don't have backer access to it.
      As an aside, calling turn-based a "dying breed" is quite extreme. Indie sphere is loaded with turn-based darlings that do well for themselves, BG3's recent success is a culmination of a soft revival of the CRPG genre, and Persona 3 remake and SMT5 are doing well for themselves. That doesn't point to a dying supergenre. It's not the top of the charts, but hits and success stories do not a "dying breed" make. It's totally understandable if you don't like them, but you don't need to act like they're "dead."
      A dying breed would be something akin to classic Real-Time Strategy. Outside of Age of Empires 4, there's really not a lot of new blood entering the scene to revitalize it. Most people who play stick to some old titles, fan mods and free games like Mental Omega and Zero-K, or the hopes and prayers of small AA studios that are trying their best. Big hits are rare or remakes, and releases in the market can feel like a few times a year.

May 14th, May 1st, April 15th, April 9th, April 4th, April 2nd, March 29th, March 25th, March 15th (with a statement on the future development), March 13th, March 8th, March 1st. And that's just the last 3 months. Just because they're behind the unstable version doesn't mean they're not happening.

      So how long do you think Palworld will be in early access?

      Seeing how the opening of the video says "Palworld just dropped" and it's been 4 months from January it's safe to say that the script wasn't updated much since the start of the videos creation.

      Its also important for people to know its not the same developers. Its the same company yes but the two groups have nothing to do with each other and there is no cross over.

      @@moonyu189there wayyy to similar to just be inspired by the same concept. The hat is identical in shape (the irl version looks more conical so it’s not just inspiration from that) the flame on the top, the legs body shape, even stance they take normally. Taking that and overal vibe into account makes it kind of blatant. (It looks more alike than Pikachu and the pika clones like pawmi)
