I honestly don’t understand how people saw this slop and all just threw their wallets at it. The only way I can cope with this beating fucking Counter Strike is that it’s “Adult Pokemon” premise was too interesting to pass up. I can’t imagine it’ll be like this in a month or several. As an outsider this is beyond bizarre to watch. Maybe PETA got to me but it turns my stomach watching people gleefully butcher and enslave Pokemon.

Yep! Clearly I’m in the minority thinking it’s distasteful to take innocent, bright, goofy looking creatures that resemble the childhood characters most of us grew up with and literally fucking slaughtering them with a butcher knife for soup. I’d rather shoot unnamed terrorist #32 in his terrorizing face. Correct.
If the game wasn’t also low effort slop that’s borderline an asset flip with how many designs they’ve stolen, I’d probably tolerate it more but I’m awestruck so many people are eating this trash up and celebrating it.
Are you this mad at pokemon too? They obscure all of this, but the premise is the same…
Oh the premise is the same but the difference is I can’t go stab my Pikachu, cut it up, then turn it into soup because I got bored. Pokemon still has kid gloves on it to where nobody dies, injuries are superficial, and everything gets better with a visit to a special building. Palworld shatters that and goes “Hey, fellow psychopaths, you can now enslave and butcher all those friendly creatures you grew up with!” like all of us were just fucking drooling at the chance to murder cute animals. Clearly I’m the weird one because I never grew up thinking the Pokemon should be killable.
I hope Game Freak sees this as a wake up call. People will kill for a Pokemon game with a little innovation.
Pokemon Arceus had a little innovation. The thing is: a little innovation after decades of doing the same thing is like a textbook example of “too little, too late”.
Also Pokémon Arceus was still empty and boring
So is Palworld if you played it. The island kinda lacks cohesion
Not even remotely the same level of empty. In Palworld there’s 10-100x times the density of creatures and resources. Plus Palworld just looks better than Pokemon Arceus and also doesn’t resort to fog to hide things popping into existence
Oh we wanna use graphics as an argument? Guess I should play Ark survival instead
Ok? Then go play Ark and leave the rest of us alone
