Hopefully Nintendo/The Pokemon Company will see how well Palworld is doing and stop putting out disappointing mainline Pokemon games.
Scarlet and Violet sold 10 million copies during the launch weekend, so I think they'll be pretty content to keep churning out mediocre games at a much faster pace.
Yeah but this is a literal nobody coming into the market and pulling almost half the sales numbers as the single biggest franchise in the world with near 30 years' worth of brand recognition. That's still got to be somewhat of a wakeup call.
Palworld is basically what I wanted Pokemon Legends: Arceus to be (minus the guns, obviously). The game has issues, which I mostly chalk up to early access woes, but it's a great case study in how to do an open world creature collector game.
Yup. Nintendo spends so much time making sure every Mario or Zelda game that comes out is arguably perfect. You can rely on those games being fun, polished and modern. It's about time someone reminds them that, hey, maybe they should actually try to keep the same standards for a Pokemon game again.
The problem as far as I understand is Nintendo doesn't have the same degree of control over Pokemon that they have over their other IPs since they share ownership of the franchise with Game Freak and Creatures Inc. I bet they'd like to hold Pokemon to the same standards as Mario or Zelda and probably just can't... Or maybe they just don't really care considering how Pokemon games sell like crazy no matter how much effort is put into them.
they do lots of polish on character design then its gamefreaks turn to churn out something mediocre in a 2year dev cycle
The power of hype is borderless
When it’s just hype alone, games end up getting destroyed with bad reviews. If a game is hyped up and is actually good, that’s different, isn’t it?
People are loving the concept, but I've heard the game itself is pretty meh
If a game lives up to the hype, it's not hype. It's recognition.
All my friends and I never heard of this game until it came to early access. We weren't hyped at all more surprised. Plus I want to play it before Nintendo tries to sue. I know they have no right to but it's Nintendo, they'll probably try
Hopefully they don’t pull a TemTem
I hope this will help the devolopment of the game so that this doesn't stay in early access forever like their previous game
From what I’ve read, it’s ARK but not terrible. Watched the first 20 minutes and it was more reminiscent of BOTW. When’s it swap to ARK?
That is has some base building elements, it's a bunch of popular elements from other games put into a open world pokemon botw mold.
