People be like “tHiS gAmE wiLl KiLl pOkEmOn” then show you fucking ark survival with a mildly bigger emphasis on cute monsters and bare bones ass gameplay
Oh what’s that you made a witty meme about “GREAT GRAPHICS”? You mean to tell me the GRAPHICS are you selling point when the game you keep jerking off is literally just ARK with worse graphics? WOWIE
Pick up fucking Cassette Beasts or the upcoming Beastie Ball, not plagiarism simulator 9000. At least those games are made by people who support LGBT instead of someone who couldn’t give less shit about your right to exist.
I just want to say that as somebody who never played Ark, the discourse on this game is infuriating. Game reviews suck now because they’re all predicated on other games: “this game is like Blasphemy 2 meets Stardew Valley,” well that’s great unless you haven’t played either Stardew or Blasphemy.
When did we forget that good journalism defines all terms before using them? When did we start accepting this lazy non-commentary?
To me, and anyone else who has never played Ark, all we know is that Palworld apparently isn’t Pokemon-like but is some nebulous something else instead. It’s so frustrating.
It looks like a shit game but calling it plagiarism because they’re both games about capturing monster seems a bit silly.
The plagiarism part is about creature designes. They are very simillar to Pokemon at times, down to proportions being nearly identical:

Why does this has to mean anything legally? I see an obvously traced asset, and what I get from that is that there was not a drop of passion put into the designs. It just adds to the feeling of this game being uninspired as fuck.
Go go gadget strawman meme. Do you think the same about Hogwarts legacy too?
Using the same game mechanics as a billion dollar company = denying the existence of transgender people
People shitting on the game are so much more annoying than people praising it. Obviously it’s not going to kill pokemon, no shit. It’s still a fun game. The progression is solid, and its fun collecting cute creatures. The whole reason it blew up is because it was surprising that what was thought to be a meme game released with the amount of quality and depth it has.
