  2. Man I was really excited for the blood dragon-esque new far cry spinoff until the multiplayer part. This really sucks

  3. imagine bringing up "did they copy some pokemon and just change them a little" without even acknowledging how pokemon LITERALLY DID THAT TO DRAGON QUEST LMAO

  4. Imo Palworld is more fun then any Pokémon game in awhile. We want fun games, who cares how they made it. It's crazy how ppl wanna dog on this game just bc the Pal's are similar to Pokémon models. smh

  5. Commentary on TLOUs contrast in between no return and game theme is nonsensical. It’s a fucking game, supposed to be fun lol…

  6. Palworld is for sure going to be one of those games that you say, oh yeah that also came out this year, when December rolls around. (Even though it's early access)

  7. Feeling like the only designs palworld comes close to is the "generic" mons that every monster collector has.

  8. I don't think Wakerunners is a MOBA. From what people in Korea who have played closed alpha test seem to suggest, it's more of an objective-based top-down Arena brawler.

  9. I love you ShillUp, but referring to Jennifer Coolidge as “Stifler’s mom” in 2024 wasn’t necessary, nor was it funny. Actually, kinda sexist even. She’s had such a wild success lately and a shitty role from a shitty movie was all you could remember? Ngl it sounded very condescending. Give that woman some respect. She’s so much more than that.

  10. pal world was able to fill the market that pokemon has dominated and under served for years. Nintendo has been pumping out bad pokemon games for years and this is what happens.

  11. So stupid. You can’t use cats now because of stray. You can’t put monsters in your game because of monster hunter. You can’t cartoon animals in your game because of Pokémon (which they copied from Dragon Quest. You can’t put aliens in your game because of half life. You can’t put cars in your game because of Forza. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
    Palworld didn’t copy one-to-one so it doesn’t matter.

  12. In case anyone reads this – it's now been proven that the whole 'asset ripping' weas completely fake and made up, and was done purely out of spite and protest against 'animal abuse'. Sheesh.

  13. It’s sad people trying to Defend a company that doesn’t care about them. Nintendo should be the only one that gets upset if they copied. Which they haven’t or Nintendo would of stepped in.

  14. Almost all the accusations against palworld copying pokemon have been disproven at this point. The person that conveniently provided the mesh comparisons and said they used AI to alter them has come out and said he lied about it all

  15. The game is on PC and Xbox where Pokemon will never be released. Can't we just play what we got? And at this point in time even if a kindergarten kid makes a creature out of his/her imagination, that's gonna be similar to some Pokemon too, with soo many already created. Just play.

  16. Soooooo fucking sick of Palworld news. Had to skip that shit. Ten fucking minutes of it, really?
