Ok but like how’s the gameplay?
Pokemon does not have a monopoly on silly monster designs.
you remember in sword and shield when you had to run from pokemon in that shitty open world? well now you have a bat, and its pay back time
Initially I was into it, but then at about level 20 I realized it wasn’t going anywhere. After a few levels, it’s literally the same thing over and over again, but you upgrade the equipment. Nothing really makes a huge difference after you get them farming basic materials.
There’s NO plot after you complete the tutorial. What it says about taking down the bad guys in the description? It’s all in your head. You kill plenty of them. You make zero difference to the world that lasts more than a hour.
It’s alright. Little bit of an identity crisis… But as a pokémon clone, it’s pretty good. I picked it up today and I can already tell you I have put more hours into it than I put into Scarlet and Sun combined.
The only thing Pokemon-esque about it is the monster designs and that you catch them in spherical objects.
Everything else about it lends itself more to the survival crafting genre.
Gameplay I think is quite enjoyable from the bit I’ve played. It feels a lot more sandboxy than Pokemon would have ever allowed in their games because they care a lot about story narratives that everyone now finds super boring.
For those who didn’t read the article:
- Palworld devs used generative AI in the past and think it’s a really good tool
- There is no proof that AI was used to create Pals even though that wouldn’t even be illegal or anything
- Pals are very clearly derivative of Pokemon since that was the entire inspiration
That’s literally it, this is just AI ragebait.
This was bound to happen since its so successful.
Also, this article is basically spreading slanderous misinformation. Its entirely speculation and conjecture, and until proven otherwise people need to remember that its “innocent before proven guilty.”
I am getting really tired of these “guilty because we decided already” witch-hunts going on these days.
Welcome to the court of public opinion.
First time?
Pokemon invented all monsters, obviously
Fuck all of this incoming wave of AI generated crap
Okay, but no one has said / verified that anything in this game is AI generated. The only thing we know is one of their previous games used generative AI as a core mechanic.
