Probably not big enough of a following to have any substancial amount of braindead people on here. Like in a slightly different way braindead than the other 90% of braindead people.
I generally agree with the video, but I think some of the anger is based on biases which can mislead people. 1. It's "F" to interact in a lot of games. I agree that "E" is used more often, but "F" is not something out of the world. It's just a matter of habits. I want to point out though that still most of them let you REBIND it, if you aren't comfortable. Not in Palword though 2. There is nothing bad with taking mechanics (especially if beloved and critically aclaimed) from other games. By itself, there's no problem in it 'taking mechanics' from Ark, Valheim and Pokemon; especially with that "Breath of the Wild climbing" sentiment you reminded me of Genshin's early discussions... and they were quite debunked, though still controversial. I don't think anyone would be that angry if they were just executed well. 3. Calling asset reusal of THEIR OWN old game the 'asset flip' is a stretch. The more concerning part is that they launched their game, made it early access, didn't finish it and relaunched it again under a different name and now there is no updates or fixes for a long time, which makes it pretty much a rug pull.
"had no hype before release" and "came truly out of nowhere" are crazy, there's videos of popular youtubers reacting to trailers two years ago genuinely seeming very interested for its release
Two things one I’ve never heard of palworld until it came out, but to be fair my perspective is not the only perspective and two maybe the videos only get popular after the game came out
@@LethalOlive Vinesauce was still popular before the release of Palworld as for the first part, I mean, I agree, it really depends on which youtubers you watch but a couple of the big ones did reaction trailers to the first trailer from 2 years ago and the second trailer from a year ago. It's understandable you might not watch those people or just didn't run into these videos but it did not come out of "nowhere" it was a game that was heavily anticipated for 2 years before its public beta was released.
Not spending money on making the game better for months is a lie and considering It has literally only been out for only 1 month as of the 19th and the fact that there has been 2 updates already and the devs said there are a lot more coming and they are working on it... so that means they are spending the money. Also the fact that a majority of the complaints about the game is about bugs that will be updated out of the game before full release considering its only 1 month into early access shows thats its a great game.
for me even without the bugs the game feel souless and mid at best i like the idea of open world pokemon but i don't think the excution here is up there yet
@@alimsag How do people like you exist, who plays a game and thinks about the soul of the game 🤣 I've never played a game and thought that in my life. Normal people just think a game is fun or not and it's that simple. If it's not fun for you, more power to you bro go play another game 🤣
@@ow3986yes people like me exist :D idk what is your point with that, and plz tell me what makes this game fun, because for me i don't see it and i said "for me" meaning that it doesn't hit my own preferences, just like many people who dislike titles i think are nearly perfect like hollow knight, celeste, terraria, the binding of isaac, cuphead, any game from fromsoft (except dark souls 2) they all didn't invent anything new, they took the ideas and make their own thing not only that but also excute it so well its insane, and to all the people who don't enjoy them i don't say they are simply wrong because "everyone love this so you should love it too" it doesn't make any sense if you like or not go ahead i simply don't care
@@ow3986and the games i mentioned are as i said near perfect, and now i see people like you defend palworlds which is beyond me its insane and as if there are no good early access games like the game made by a literal roblox furry, lethal company which i can see a lot of potential going for it and its well excuted
@@alimsag Clearly you're illiterate, I didn't defend the game and I didn't say you have to like it. I literally said more power to you if you don't like the game just play another game... I don't need to explain to you why I find it fun and you don't have to tell me why you don't find it fun. I just want to know what's this "soul" you speak of? Does the game go to an afterlife after it dies 👻🤣
Normally I like your videos but this one just felt like a mindless angry rant. You listed a bunch complaints that could have easily been solved if you'd done a simple google search : 1: Lots of other games like Resident Evil 7 have used an F key to interact even if most others use E. This becomes even more mute of a point when you can literally rebind the keys in the options menu. 2: The long timers and grind can all be adjusted within the world settings. Me and my friend don't want to wait hundreds of hours for eggs to hatch so we turned the timer off. We also increased the xp so it would be less grindy, increased the drop rate of materials and made a bunch of other small things to make it more our speed. The game gives you these tools to make you're experience fully adjustable because different players like different things. 3: Yes many game mechanics in palworld are taken from other games but it's the way they were used together that makes the game feel fresh and new. Show me another game that lets me fly around on a dragon shooting an assault rifle at invaders whilst my friend I'm playing with forces cute monsters to create hundreds of ice grenades to fight the next boss? No other game outside of perhaps Garry's mod with a bunch of addons could let me do that. On top of that it's not like you can copyright a mechanic. In the 90s fps were originally called doom clones but that didn't make titles like Duke Nukem 3d, Blood and many others from becoming classics. 4: Yes the game is buggy but it hasn't been months. It's been a single month since the game launched and the title is still in early access. Early Access is meant to be for games that are playable and enjoyable but still have aspects unfinished like models that will be replaced or bugs that can be fixed. You can complain about the bugs as it's valid but in a brand new early access game there are always going to be problems which the developer needs to fix. 5: Whilst I haven't played crafttopia myself I can tell palworld isn't a direct clone because it visually looks very different and mechanics have been adjusted again to make it more of it's own thing. I will however give you that they should have finished developing it before starting on Palworld. That is unfair on those players who bought it.
@@bryceamas Same, though I slightly disagree on the 5th point. I don't think they should be forced to ONLY work on Craftopia until it's "finished". It got a major update last June, and after they get caught up with the work they have cut out for them with Palworld, they will have the resources and more knowledge to be put into the next update for Craftopia. It would definitely speak to their character as a company to see Craftopia receive another major update sometime this year.
literally this, it kinda feels like htwo is being incredibly biased here instead of just picking out interesting or amusing negative reviews that he's done in past videos but oh well.
In my opinion palworld does not give you a good reason to explore its world all you can really do is get more pals and get more items which pals just contribute to either getting more items or getting more pals and getting more items usually just contributes to either getting more pals and getting more items over and over again.
I feel like without the rose-tinted glasses that most people have for the older pokemon games (the first and only Pokemon game I've ever completed is Moon), I saw a lot of these flaws immediately. Nothing felt really original, which as you said isn't a bad thing, but nothing felt like their own or just... good either. And whether the Pals were ripped from actual pokemon as the early controversy was about didn't matter to me because the inherent game just felt very soulless, relying on "hey look, it's that mechanic from that franchise you like!" and a lot of admittedly funny dark humor in the premise of the game to even interest me.
Ah, a young gamer discovering F for use xD We had it in the old games because Q and E were mapped to leaning left and right. Some titles even had Enter as a use key. Those were the wild times Nice video, btw. Good to know the history and details of the game since I am not planning to play it. Not a fan of Pokemon and its style in general. Cartoons were kinda neat though.
Games in preview, anyone hating the game because of the bugs is just childish. The “critical bug” is something games like rust, No mans sky, 7 days to die and several others have encountered. This game was made by 4 people with a 10k budget, hating the game for having bugs is ridiculous and hating on the game for taking other ideas is also ridiculous because that’s what makes the game so good. It took things we liked about those games and implemented them. Atleast try the game out, I wasn’t that much of a pokémon fan and I started playing this game 3 days ago. It’s a masterpiece and I love it. Crucial things like pvp are being added. The fact this video exists just shows how single minded people can be.
@@MemeWorldCentral Completely disagree, i think its specially important to complain about bugs in a game like palworld (considering what happened to craftopia).
@@MemeWorldCentralDude I don’t care if the game is in early access or not, if it’s charging me 20+ dollars to play it then there shouldn’t be bugs that make the game unplayable especially if the game has made millions at this point and the bugs are still there. Calling people single minded for disliking a game because it has game breaking bugs is just ridiculous. If you like the game that’s fine but that doesn’t give you the right to shit on anyone that doesn’t share the same opinion as you
@@MemeWorldCentral You do realize that highlighting factual problems or not liking something does not equate to hate, right? Bugs can be different, and the one which resets your progress in the game centered around progression and hours of grind is pretty damn critical one. Granted, it does not sound like it affects the official servers. Besides, everyone is doing it, so it's ok is the most bizarre logic. "Your honor, everyone was kicking this guy, so I thought it is ok if I did it as well". wat? Yes, there are plenty indi games developed by less than 10 people and on a shoe string budget. Some are good, some not so much. I am not sure why the effort of the teams that made games without major bugs should be degraded by saying that bugs don't matter. They kinda do, that's why devs are trying to avoid them. Taking ideas from other games is fine. However, shoving them as is without any rhyme or reason is cheap and lazy. This video highlighted exactly what I've seen from the style of the world: the game is an uninspired mesh of multiple ideas without any coherent vision uniting all the elements. Like a bunch of toys from different movies and games dumped on a carpet. Can people like this game despite of it? Yeah, people can like whatever they like. Can people dislike the game for this? Yes, people can dislike whatever they dislike. I do not have to try every single game in existence. I do not generally like mass multiplayer games. I do not like grind games. I do not like Pokemon games and unlike Pokemon, I don't like the artistic style of Palworld. There is not a single characteristic of this game that is interesting to me, so I don't see why I should buy it. The only reason I heard about it is because it is suddenly popular without any apparent reason, so it is a bit of a mild curiosity. This is also funny to me hearing that a critic of something popular is somehow single minded. While the main collective mind determined that the game is good, since you know, it is overwhelmingly popular. It is fine that you enjoy it. That does not mean that other people might not and are forever prohibited from expressing their points of view. The discussion can be had around the bugs and if they are that common, how much they impact the gameplay, how well the mechanics fit together and so on. The discussion cannot be had if your question is "Why you hate Palworld?". I can meet you in kind and ask: why do you hate good games?
@@Thebiggestchard2987play it since just release, bugs yes, glitch yes...unplayable bugs? Never...tf you guys complain about...oh right if 30$ enough for you to btching about then let throw 60$ on some FULLY released AAA surely its bug free lol
Honestly as a souls player. I have no idea. But it just feels different from most games that aren't souls-likes. But also as a soulsplayer I can say palworlds really doesn't feel like a souls dodge roll. And out of curiosity after watching this vid I tried using it like I use souls dodge rolls and it gets me killed more than using it normally did
@@Nayu-ls4xz There are quite a few games with strictly movement-based rolls. While its quite common to have i-frames during a roll nowadays, less recent games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Risk of Rain 2, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, and Monster Hunter just to name a few. These rolls either have no invulnerability or near frame-perfect execution requirements. So it is relatively original by Dark Souls and FromSoftware to introduce invulnerability to a previously-thought movement ability. TLDR; Dark Souls dodge is based on timing, other dodges rely on movement.
I about died laughing at the "asset flip" point, because Craftopia and Palworld aren't even made in the same ENGINE. Craftopia is in Unity, but during the development of Palworld they realized Unity couldn't handle what they wanted to do so they switched to Unreal. Also, not only are there custom settings for a world you can set to change both the timer length of eggs and the exp rate (and way more), but there are also customizable controls and the game's controller-friendly, so if you're complaining about controls then there's 2 ways to fix it. And finally, the game hasn't even been out for months, and the devs have done a TON of bugfixes in this time and come out and said what they're working on in terms of cheaters, as well as come out with a roadmap of what they're planning on adding (which includes pvp btw, so the timers being long is valid). These devs are working hard to provide a great, fun, stable game, and I think we should give them a chance.
I definitely agree with a lot of this, I played the game for a bit and had a lot of fun, but it got old kinda quick. Also love that your outro music is from ROR2, love that game to death
I think another reason for it's success is that the game is 29.99 and..well...I kinda disagree with it not being fun. To be fair, many issues are server side, and that's prolly cuz the devs didn't expect such a massive influx of players in their limited capacity servers. It'd be more apt to call Palworld an indie game. Also, fixing issues and bugs still takes time. it's barely been 2 months since the game's release back in January. The bugs aren't great tho, they are intensified in servers. I never really encountered most of these in single player. Then again, that's probably just my experience. edit: It's barely been a month since the game's release, and it's a small team...so yeah. It doesn't excuse a lot. Plus there was hype, I had a teacher in high school hyping this game. I hyped the game. It looked awesome. I still think its awesome. Also, there's a mod to remove crafting times, and you can have your own private server. And even without mods, you can get rid of egg timers by just adjusting the setting in the world config. People are actively choosing to make the egg timers so long Anyways, in the end its just a game that got big unexpectedly to some, and of course, like any big game, there will be controversy.
the thing i love about palworld is that its taking genres from different games and puts it into 1 game that combines all of them something no other company dares to try
Ok i don't wanna be that guy or promote hate but Early Access is a program where game developers can release early builds of their titles for the public to purchase. These aren't demos or simple pre-orders, they're unfinished, unpolished, and sometimes buggy alpha and beta versions of a game that's still a work in progress.
i imagine most people that play "hard mode" play on either their own server or some friends server, why not just reduce the egg timer it's only a few clicks to do so
some complaints about bugs annoy me a bit because EARLY ACCESS GAME. granted, EA is not a perfect shield against any critisism of flaws, but it should allow some leniancy with messy stuff (like the timers and all) , because it isn't a final product. granted save file corruption, if it is indeed as common as implied, should definitly be patched ASAP, and is not excusable edit: should have left the video running because Htwo calls the same thing out
I generally disagree with bug complaints on a early access title but i think the complaints are mostly justified (when they aren't used to specifically yell "game bad") considering what the studio did with their previous title, like one of the reviews said, it's taking most of its base from their previous game and retaining a lot of it's bugs, im personally inclined to leave a negative review despite liking the game specifically for that reason, you can be critical of something you enjoy and you should be.
I think the reason HH2 is most annoyed about the bugs it’s because as he says in the video, they’ve already released the game extremely similar to Palworld that they abandoned and who know they’re not just gonna leave this game behind too. I hope they don’t for the people who bought it and like it but they definitely could if they wanted to.
@@brokovnik Genshin with the hilichruls having the same animations as the Bokoblins and same climbing animations with no one giving a fuck: damn bro annoying af lol
Personally, I haven't played myself, but people hate Palworld for some stupid reasons. 1. It literally came out about 1 month ago of course it's going to be laggy; HECK a game worked on for 10 years was so laggy it had to be taken down. 2. It's not a rip off of games because of their mechanics or style Pokémon isn't the only game that can have tamable fighting creatures that may or may not be put into elements/types. 3. Hackers usually find a way to hack games no matter what blockages creators put in it. 4 Keybinds aren't the same for every game and F is also a common toggle button. THERE'S ALSO A KEYBING SETTING IN MOST GAMES TO CHANGE THEM UP. 5. Chill out about the grinding, ALMOST EVERY GAME HAS IT this one just be longer than expected I'm not saying that everyone should love the game, and I understand that they may just genuinely dislike it. You can still dislike the game, but just don't be so biased about it.
i know this is a little bit of an old video, but you got me thinking- personally i think its okay if a game takes a bunch of mechanics from existing sources if it combines them in a way that creates a unique experience. i think the pals and "volunteer" labor system really sets it apart from any of the games it aped off of, gameplay wise.
This game is like the last game they made and thats why its souless is funny as hell 😂 how do people like this exist, talking about soul of a game. The only thing that matters is it just fun or not, ive never played any of the other games he mentioned that are "good" in his eye and said, mmmmm i feel the soul in this game
A game having an identity is really important, it's what makes it stand out from the rest, Dark soul at the time of it's release was an unique game. If a game is soulless then it's like all of those bland AAA game that feels all the same (Altho I disagree with his point that palworld is a souless game)
I don’t know why pc games can’t keep the interaction button as one button it’s always either F or E and we always have a stroke trying to remember. I just wish they had a option in the game to swap the button from F to E and vice versa
you do have some fair points but here is a thought, maybe people play the game because its... fun, I'm not at all a Pokémon fan and yet i really enjoyed the time i played it. Personally i didn't experience almost any game breaking bugs.
honestly i think another reason palworld was so popular was just because it was on more systems, especially steam. pokemon being switch/nintendo exclusive kinda stinks, and while i understand why, i just wish i could play them on other systems just so i don't have to fork out $300 for a new system and games to go with it. i know emulation exists, but nintendo is so hand and fist against it for some reason, and it doesn't really feel the same as owning the game. i never really got suckered into palworld since it looked so bland at a first glance, but this does really make me wish for a really good pokemon like game for steam, or just pokemon at all.
4:48 "bugs completely unresolved for months now" the game came out January 19 2024 its February 23 20204 its been barely a month 6:13 i get you point about coping other games but darksouls dodge rolls? ok now you are stretching to make a point games dont own mechanics and a lot of games are just what if 2 things together like good vid as always but this time i cant agree with you
Well, cause vast majority of them are empty, mindless slogs??? Only rare examples like SubNautica with some kind of narrative plot and over-arching story stand out, mate.
@@diamondhamster4320 You would not like Minecraft then. After some time it's just a empty sandbox survival game. If the genre is not for you, then it's only your problem.
@@Nayu-ls4xz No??? MC became popular BECAUSE of its core being BUILDING/CREATIVE game where people CAN self-express in sandbox almost without limits. Only dumb crackheads and dumb kiddies play Survival.
and come on, you can t tell me ONE thing out there that doesn t look like a pokemon... and let me remind you there s a pokemon that looks like anything. even one that looks like trash...
There's other creature catching games that don't get written off as plagirism because they have their own artstyle and design philosophy Mainly: Yokai Watch, Digimon and Bakugan Even though they have a similar premise: collecting creatures, they have their own style Barely anyone would look at a Yokai from Yokai watch and think that it is a Pokemon, because the style is not the same at all Meanwhile Palworld literally has the exact same artstyle
I honestly never understood why people want an open-world main series Pokémon game so badly. I could see it working for a spinoff, but mashing together a turn-based battle system, linear leveling system, and open-world exploration seems like a recipe for disaster. See: Scarlet and Violet.
I think S&V is a poor comparison considering the game itself is poorly made, take a look at the recent zelda games for example, would you not enjoy something with that level of quality on a pokemon game? (Tho i can't argue against it being a possible spin off)
No way... The *early access* game, made by a *small indie team* , with only a *month* since release that has *bugs* that need to be fixed has BUGS?!?!?! *wHO WoUlD'vE hAd tHOugGhT???*
And also, as he said, literally millions of people who bought it. So they can afford to hire around triple the size of their current team and deal with those bugs way faster than most indie Devs can.
To be fair, they already made almost exactly like this game and left it in the dust with no updates and leaving it in very buggy state they could absolutely do the same thing again so just wait and see I’m not saying they will but they can
You seem to be getting a lot of backlash but I agree with you There's ways to make creature catching games without being a blatant rip-off Yokai-Watch, Bakugan, Digimon, maybe Yugioh if you wanna count it. You show someone creatures from these series and they won't think they are pokemon, they clearly have their own artstyle and design philosophy
Warzone did the same thing. It got to watch battle royals come out and cheery pick the best things from each game to merge in their own. I was a big ark fan and never got into pokemon and palworld i've been able to continuously enjoy in solo world playing, to each their own tho. There is no denying they didnt steal things lol
Actually i want to correct something. While the game wasnt per say elden ring levels of hype. There was alot of anticipation for it when it released its first trailer.
I like how palworld has no identity, I think it's fine for some games to be just a sandbox. Not every game has to be deep rock or monster hunter. I didn't have any bugs in my game but I know other had so I can't say much about that but I think palworld is fine how it is. It's just a sandbox with creature mechanic and that how I like it. I think it's a lot better then Pokemon since it does not have a silly story and old game design.
although I can see where some people come from, in my opinion some of the things you bring up are what make the game fun for me. 1. The bugs, I know I know, they can be annoying. but during my time on single player, I have had no game breaking bugs that made the game worse. just some kind of funny ones. one of the only game breaking bugs I know of, (the tower boss catching) just makes the game better. 2. The grindyness. I hate it, but it can be taken away by just either playing the game to get better pals to reduce crafting time. (ahem Anubis) or by changing the difficulty setting to what you want the game to feel like. if you don't like the level times or resource amounts, BOOST IT. 3. The "ripping off". personally for most of the games you brought up, they are done well, in some cases better than the original. with the creature catching and combat, pal world does it better than even Arceus, which in my opinion does the whole "Pokemon" thing best. and I don't think its even wrong to steal the ideas, especially if they are very popular, and use them together to create a game with fun gameplay. the CEO of pocket pair even said that he wanted to take loved ideas and uses them to make the best game possible. 4. Palworld is made in a different engine than Craftopia, (unreal instead of unity), and is more polished, also ITS FINE TO REUSE THEIR OWN ASSETS. (and the unity assets stores) 5. I'm pretty sure you can rebind the use key. 6. the games not soulless, the attention to detail is amazing, specifically in the animation of the pals. Sorry for the yap ALSO ITS EARLY ACCESS GIVE THEM A BREAK edit: i get the worry that it might not get updated, but they seem to really care about the game edit2: they are working to fix the cheating, and on the 7th a patch came out with one fix saying: Fixed an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the total number of Pals captured by the guild reached approximately 7000.
It’s kinda funny tho how they fixed a lot of the bugs before modern shitfair 3 could that is crazy how do you have like idk how much but it is way over motherfucking 100 and still not fix your shit game
@@RavDeBestYeah, but why complain about keybinds if you could just change them? It seems like such a minor flaw unless you can't actually do so (haven't played Palworld at all and I don't intend to, so I can't tell for sure).
Did you just accuse the game of leaving bugs in for months when its only been out for ONE? Did yo. Even TRY to enjoy it? Or did you come in WANTING to bash it? A lot of your complaints could have been fixed in the settings
I’ve seen this argument so many times, the funny part being that you can shut down the argument instantly by saying “it’s an asset flip of a fully released game”
Did... did you play the game? Any Handiwork lvl 4 or higher pal can make anything in seconds. Timers for eggs are for multiplayer and can be turned off for your own servers. Lying about the game doesn't make your review any more compelling.
There's many problems with this critique: 1. Money by itself cannot all solve all problems in life. This is especially true for video games. You can't just throw money and bring in more people to fix a game in a span of couple of weeks, or months even. It takes time to onboard people. It takes time to grasp the type of game systems that have been implemented in the game before someone can go and begin to do something to help the situation. 2. It's kinda childish to complain about Palworld borrowing features from other games. You cannot copyright ideas. If someone can take what you did and do it better, there's nothing wrong in that. This is not the first one (like Genshin Impact), humans have always grown by taking references from each other. The same can be said about your CZcams content. Like it or not, Palworld is it's own thing, pal.
The game has only been out for ONE MONTH and you claim these issues have gone unresolved for months? Now i know you're just a typical hater who can't stand when their favorite multi-billion dollar corporation finally has some competition.
the part in the end is my big realisation from palworld's hype: pokemon fans (the ones that don't eat up anything gamefreak shits out like it's from god himself, anyway) have been wanting some breath of fresh air for ages. *some* change. the battle system, the exploration gameplay, the majority of the story beat and game structure have been the same ever since the first editions. sure, the games look like gamecube games rather than gameboy games now, but at the end of the day you're still doing the same old things. the fact that the last few entries have pretty blatantly been cheaply thrown together, are butt ugly* and have loads of bugs doesn't make that any better. and *because* this lack of improvement has gone on for so long, even something as soulless, low-effort, bugged and garbage as palworld scratches that itch enough to generate the hype it did. because pokemon is that stuck. and i don't think the solution is "make palworld but with pokemon". it's "make pokemon, but different in some way". again, the core mechanics are still the same as in the first entries in the series. look how other JRPGs, say final fantasy, have evolved over time - different combat systems, MMO elements (that actually work and don't have a 7 second latency :D), different perspectives and all. hell, maybe do make it a survival game. just give me something new, an actual adventure**, an experience that i haven't had with every pokemon game i played so far. side notes that aren't relevant to my point, but that i still wanna rant about: *which for the record isn't because "the switch can barely run them" but because the devs don't get nearly enough time to polish it to be able to run on the switch. BotW looks so much better and also runs on the switch. don't blame the hardware, blame the management setting way too tight deadlines and budgets. **ideally also without the god awful pacing pokemon games tend to have. i don't want to have to spend several hours before i see multiple pokemon other than "starter", "local bird", "local bird from other region", "local worm", "local worm from other region", "not zubat again", "not geodude again" or magikarp, and i don't want to have to have collected several fucking badges before getting to a location more interesting than "city", "grassland", "forest" or "cave" (or "beach" if the developers feel daring this time). why do i have to sink so much of my time into the game before i see any pokemon that aren't just the most boring animals they could think of, and to see any cool places? i'm currently replaying alpha sapphire and getting past badge 3 became such a breath of fresh air because i finally got to see an even mildly interesting location. why can't i already be exploring volcanoes, icy mountains, ashpits, the seas, a desert tower or any other cool stuff before sinking >10 hours into this game?
14 seconds into this video currently i bet at least a quarter of the negative reviews are going to be "pokemon with guns" or a variation wish me luck edit: well that didnt age well
Every one of these complaints completely undermines one fact: Palworld is a shitpost developed by 3 people who made this game on limited resources in their free time. The game's identity comes from it spoofing Pokémon and implementing mechanics from other games, almost as if it is a love letter to those other titles. The game even goes further beyond with this as it goes absurdly dark at times that you can't help but laugh. And in response to you handwaving that Palworld should have made their mechanics unique orbelse it's a copy, well what about the FPS mechanics in Battlefield, TF2, CoD, DOOM and Halo? Are they copying each other on that front? And how are you meant to make a dodge mechanic not similar to Dark Souls? No game owns its mechanics and it's better to do what you know works instead of fumbling it trying to innovate when it's not needed. Next the bugs, the size of the studio means they don't have the manpower to fix the bugs or make QoL changes quickly. GameFreak can't use this excuse because Pokémon's a multimedia conglomerate owned by Nintendo, all the bugs and boredom in Gen 9 are a result of laziness. Plus it seems the devs are focused on adding more content to the game, which I would argue the game need far more desperately. Obviously they should fix the bugs, but don't say that there's no excuse because "game's made many monies!" Finally, asset flipping... how do you asset flip your own resources? As far as I know, every asset used in Palworld and Craftopia are made by PocketPair, so how is it a problem when they take their own assets from one of their games and reuse them for another? I'd be a waste of resources otherwise.
Well the game was never to be something new to begin with. They devs has already said that they don't want it to be something new and creative, and that they like to reuse good game mechanics in their game. You seem to be angry on every single bug by sound of it, I'm no game developer but I have heard from many of them that it's not easy creating a game.
As an ark official player for 1.5 years before it got taken down, palworld really just feels like a worse ark. More unnecessary mechanics, crafting isnt automated, the same kind of creature taming, mechanics, and utilities. This is why i would sooner buy ark ascended than palworld
-Open access, lots of bugs. -There's a fix for lost save dats in the info screen when you boot up the game, it's a manual fix but it's something. -There are public servers you can find that are pass protected in the palworld discord, I've had 20+ hours on just that and am throughly enjoying myself. Offical severs are basically unplayable tho, this is true. -I have 60+ hours and still having fun, and still finding new content. The grind seems larger than it is, it's easily overcome with, ya know, playing the game. (Pals collect for you, better pals=faster collecting/helping) -Ik it's a ripoff, I don't care, I'm having fun. The only major concern I have is the track record with the devs. -You don't have to enjoy it, you don't have to play. Just don't knock the ones that are. :) Happy hunting.
I didn't realise it was a straight asset flip. I knew the game took a lot from other games, but it looked fun and I had a good time qith it qhen i did get it. But there was always a feeling that something just felt off about it, that explains it. Kinda dissapointing, but guess that's a lesson to be more careful in the future.
This doesn’t really matter but technically this game is not an asset flip as an asset flip is when you buy premade assets from a asset store and then slam those assets together to create a game but as far as anyone knows the developers of this game made those assets maybe they did just buy them.
Wait, people has problem with grind? I just let the pals do everything, specially after the recent att. I just let them in the base while I go on a adverture to kill everything. BTW, this one is a very biased video. And come on, the complain about the F key is just childish lmao
I will say, I respect it for how popular it got and my friends actually gave it good reviews. I can't get over how some of the pal designs are literally just Pokemon but different color. I'm not sure which one it is but it's a pal that's literally just Cinderace but green.
i can't help but dislike palworld, the designs are just so uninspired. i don't care if they used ai or not it's still boring to look at designs i already know but a little different
Palworlds art style is all over the place. Theres a screen shot of cartoony pokemon with realistic miniguns. The enviorment looks like real life. At least mario oddessy can keep a consistant artstyle. Nothing feels out of place in that game.

I generally agree with the video, but I think some of the anger is based on biases which can mislead people.
1. It's "F" to interact in a lot of games. I agree that "E" is used more often, but "F" is not something out of the world. It's just a matter of habits. I want to point out though that still most of them let you REBIND it, if you aren't comfortable. Not in Palword though
2. There is nothing bad with taking mechanics (especially if beloved and critically aclaimed) from other games. By itself, there's no problem in it 'taking mechanics' from Ark, Valheim and Pokemon; especially with that "Breath of the Wild climbing" sentiment you reminded me of Genshin's early discussions... and they were quite debunked, though still controversial. I don't think anyone would be that angry if they were just executed well.
3. Calling asset reusal of THEIR OWN old game the 'asset flip' is a stretch. The more concerning part is that they launched their game, made it early access, didn't finish it and relaunched it again under a different name and now there is no updates or fixes for a long time, which makes it pretty much a rug pull.
This is very well put!
yep exactly what I was pretty much thinking while watching the video lol
Copping fr
I thought the "F interact" complaint was weird but maybe that's because I play a lot of games with F or even R as the interact key.
@@idk_lizordInstead of making any counterpoint you assume you are correct. The irony...
"had no hype before release" and "came truly out of nowhere" are crazy,
there's videos of popular youtubers reacting to trailers two years ago genuinely seeming very interested for its release
Two things one I’ve never heard of palworld until it came out, but to be fair my perspective is not the only perspective and two maybe the videos only get popular after the game came out
@@LethalOlive Vinesauce was still popular before the release of Palworld
as for the first part, I mean, I agree, it really depends on which youtubers you watch but a couple of the big ones did reaction trailers to the first trailer from 2 years ago and the second trailer from a year ago. It's understandable you might not watch those people or just didn't run into these videos but it did not come out of "nowhere" it was a game that was heavily anticipated for 2 years before its public beta was released.
@@SurfRaygood to know
I had heard of this game years in advance
Not spending money on making the game better for months is a lie and considering It has literally only been out for only 1 month as of the 19th and the fact that there has been 2 updates already and the devs said there are a lot more coming and they are working on it... so that means they are spending the money. Also the fact that a majority of the complaints about the game is about bugs that will be updated out of the game before full release considering its only 1 month into early access shows thats its a great game.
for me even without the bugs the game feel souless and mid at best
i like the idea of open world pokemon but i don't think the excution here is up there yet
@@alimsag How do people like you exist, who plays a game and thinks about the soul of the game 🤣 I've never played a game and thought that in my life. Normal people just think a game is fun or not and it's that simple. If it's not fun for you, more power to you bro go play another game 🤣
@@ow3986yes people like me exist :D idk what is your point with that, and plz tell me what makes this game fun, because for me i don't see it and i said "for me" meaning that it doesn't hit my own preferences, just like many people who dislike titles i think are nearly perfect like hollow knight, celeste, terraria, the binding of isaac, cuphead, any game from fromsoft (except dark souls 2) they all didn't invent anything new, they took the ideas and make their own thing not only that but also excute it so well its insane, and to all the people who don't enjoy them i don't say they are simply wrong because "everyone love this so you should love it too" it doesn't make any sense if you like or not go ahead i simply don't care
@@ow3986and the games i mentioned are as i said near perfect, and now i see people like you defend palworlds which is beyond me its insane and as if there are no good early access games like the game made by a literal roblox furry, lethal company which i can see a lot of potential going for it and its well excuted
@@alimsag Clearly you're illiterate, I didn't defend the game and I didn't say you have to like it. I literally said more power to you if you don't like the game just play another game...
I don't need to explain to you why I find it fun and you don't have to tell me why you don't find it fun. I just want to know what's this "soul" you speak of? Does the game go to an afterlife after it dies 👻🤣
Normally I like your videos but this one just felt like a mindless angry rant. You listed a bunch complaints that could have easily been solved if you'd done a simple google search :
1: Lots of other games like Resident Evil 7 have used an F key to interact even if most others use E. This becomes even more mute of a point when you can literally rebind the keys in the options menu.
2: The long timers and grind can all be adjusted within the world settings. Me and my friend don't want to wait hundreds of hours for eggs to hatch so we turned the timer off. We also increased the xp so it would be less grindy, increased the drop rate of materials and made a bunch of other small things to make it more our speed. The game gives you these tools to make you're experience fully adjustable because different players like different things.
3: Yes many game mechanics in palworld are taken from other games but it's the way they were used together that makes the game feel fresh and new. Show me another game that lets me fly around on a dragon shooting an assault rifle at invaders whilst my friend I'm playing with forces cute monsters to create hundreds of ice grenades to fight the next boss? No other game outside of perhaps Garry's mod with a bunch of addons could let me do that. On top of that it's not like you can copyright a mechanic. In the 90s fps were originally called doom clones but that didn't make titles like Duke Nukem 3d, Blood and many others from becoming classics.
4: Yes the game is buggy but it hasn't been months. It's been a single month since the game launched and the title is still in early access. Early Access is meant to be for games that are playable and enjoyable but still have aspects unfinished like models that will be replaced or bugs that can be fixed. You can complain about the bugs as it's valid but in a brand new early access game there are always going to be problems which the developer needs to fix.
5: Whilst I haven't played crafttopia myself I can tell palworld isn't a direct clone because it visually looks very different and mechanics have been adjusted again to make it more of it's own thing. I will however give you that they should have finished developing it before starting on Palworld. That is unfair on those players who bought it.
Just basically said everything here in my own comment. Thank you for having some decent common sense and not being quiet.
@@bryceamas Same, though I slightly disagree on the 5th point. I don't think they should be forced to ONLY work on Craftopia until it's "finished". It got a major update last June, and after they get caught up with the work they have cut out for them with Palworld, they will have the resources and more knowledge to be put into the next update for Craftopia. It would definitely speak to their character as a company to see Craftopia receive another major update sometime this year.
literally this, it kinda feels like htwo is being incredibly biased here instead of just picking out interesting or amusing negative reviews that he's done in past videos but oh well.
The first point was hyperbolic, if anything. I doubt he actually believes every other game uses E to interact, there are obviously games out there.
In my opinion palworld does not give you a good reason to explore its world all you can really do is get more pals and get more items which pals just contribute to either getting more items or getting more pals and getting more items usually just contributes to either getting more pals and getting more items over and over again.
I feel like without the rose-tinted glasses that most people have for the older pokemon games (the first and only Pokemon game I've ever completed is Moon), I saw a lot of these flaws immediately. Nothing felt really original, which as you said isn't a bad thing, but nothing felt like their own or just... good either. And whether the Pals were ripped from actual pokemon as the early controversy was about didn't matter to me because the inherent game just felt very soulless, relying on "hey look, it's that mechanic from that franchise you like!" and a lot of admittedly funny dark humor in the premise of the game to even interest me.
Ah, a young gamer discovering F for use xD We had it in the old games because Q and E were mapped to leaning left and right. Some titles even had Enter as a use key. Those were the wild times
Nice video, btw. Good to know the history and details of the game since I am not planning to play it. Not a fan of Pokemon and its style in general. Cartoons were kinda neat though.
Games in preview, anyone hating the game because of the bugs is just childish. The “critical bug” is something games like rust, No mans sky, 7 days to die and several others have encountered.
This game was made by 4 people with a 10k budget, hating the game for having bugs is ridiculous and hating on the game for taking other ideas is also ridiculous because that’s what makes the game so good. It took things we liked about those games and implemented them.
Atleast try the game out, I wasn’t that much of a pokémon fan and I started playing this game 3 days ago. It’s a masterpiece and I love it. Crucial things like pvp are being added. The fact this video exists just shows how single minded people can be.
@@MemeWorldCentral Completely disagree, i think its specially important to complain about bugs in a game like palworld (considering what happened to craftopia).
@@MemeWorldCentralDude I don’t care if the game is in early access or not, if it’s charging me 20+ dollars to play it then there shouldn’t be bugs that make the game unplayable especially if the game has made millions at this point and the bugs are still there. Calling people single minded for disliking a game because it has game breaking bugs is just ridiculous. If you like the game that’s fine but that doesn’t give you the right to shit on anyone that doesn’t share the same opinion as you
@@MemeWorldCentral You do realize that highlighting factual problems or not liking something does not equate to hate, right? Bugs can be different, and the one which resets your progress in the game centered around progression and hours of grind is pretty damn critical one. Granted, it does not sound like it affects the official servers. Besides, everyone is doing it, so it's ok is the most bizarre logic. "Your honor, everyone was kicking this guy, so I thought it is ok if I did it as well". wat?
Yes, there are plenty indi games developed by less than 10 people and on a shoe string budget. Some are good, some not so much. I am not sure why the effort of the teams that made games without major bugs should be degraded by saying that bugs don't matter. They kinda do, that's why devs are trying to avoid them.
Taking ideas from other games is fine. However, shoving them as is without any rhyme or reason is cheap and lazy. This video highlighted exactly what I've seen from the style of the world: the game is an uninspired mesh of multiple ideas without any coherent vision uniting all the elements. Like a bunch of toys from different movies and games dumped on a carpet. Can people like this game despite of it? Yeah, people can like whatever they like. Can people dislike the game for this? Yes, people can dislike whatever they dislike.
I do not have to try every single game in existence. I do not generally like mass multiplayer games. I do not like grind games. I do not like Pokemon games and unlike Pokemon, I don't like the artistic style of Palworld. There is not a single characteristic of this game that is interesting to me, so I don't see why I should buy it. The only reason I heard about it is because it is suddenly popular without any apparent reason, so it is a bit of a mild curiosity.
This is also funny to me hearing that a critic of something popular is somehow single minded. While the main collective mind determined that the game is good, since you know, it is overwhelmingly popular.
It is fine that you enjoy it. That does not mean that other people might not and are forever prohibited from expressing their points of view. The discussion can be had around the bugs and if they are that common, how much they impact the gameplay, how well the mechanics fit together and so on. The discussion cannot be had if your question is "Why you hate Palworld?". I can meet you in kind and ask: why do you hate good games?
@@Thebiggestchard2987play it since just release, bugs yes, glitch yes...unplayable bugs? Never...tf you guys complain about...oh right if 30$ enough for you to btching about then let throw 60$ on some FULLY released AAA surely its bug free lol
please explain my monkey brain how is dark souls s dodge roll different from any other fking dodge roll out there?
Honestly as a souls player. I have no idea. But it just feels different from most games that aren't souls-likes. But also as a soulsplayer I can say palworlds really doesn't feel like a souls dodge roll. And out of curiosity after watching this vid I tried using it like I use souls dodge rolls and it gets me killed more than using it normally did
Unique multi staged animation frames and invicibility effect applied only during the middle section of the frame data???
@@diamondhamster4320 Try guild wars 2 dodge roll, pretty much the same except you are invulnerable during the whole animation
@@diamondhamster4320 Like most of the games with a roll?
@@Nayu-ls4xz There are quite a few games with strictly movement-based rolls. While its quite common to have i-frames during a roll nowadays, less recent games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Risk of Rain 2, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, and Monster Hunter just to name a few. These rolls either have no invulnerability or near frame-perfect execution requirements. So it is relatively original by Dark Souls and FromSoftware to introduce invulnerability to a previously-thought movement ability.
TLDR; Dark Souls dodge is based on timing, other dodges rely on movement.
I about died laughing at the "asset flip" point, because Craftopia and Palworld aren't even made in the same ENGINE. Craftopia is in Unity, but during the development of Palworld they realized Unity couldn't handle what they wanted to do so they switched to Unreal. Also, not only are there custom settings for a world you can set to change both the timer length of eggs and the exp rate (and way more), but there are also customizable controls and the game's controller-friendly, so if you're complaining about controls then there's 2 ways to fix it. And finally, the game hasn't even been out for months, and the devs have done a TON of bugfixes in this time and come out and said what they're working on in terms of cheaters, as well as come out with a roadmap of what they're planning on adding (which includes pvp btw, so the timers being long is valid). These devs are working hard to provide a great, fun, stable game, and I think we should give them a chance.
Who would think a early access game would be buggy

Early access isn’t an excuse to have a game breaking bug go unfixed for multiple update cycles

@@MrFox5428Having Save file corrupting bugs is enough of a reason to complain
the opps are taking my bitrate
"the game have been out for months snd they didn't fix the bugs"
-game came out a month ago
I definitely agree with a lot of this, I played the game for a bit and had a lot of fun, but it got old kinda quick. Also love that your outro music is from ROR2, love that game to death
I think another reason for it's success is that the game is 29.99 and..well...I kinda disagree with it not being fun. To be fair, many issues are server side, and that's prolly cuz the devs didn't expect such a massive influx of players in their limited capacity servers. It'd be more apt to call Palworld an indie game. Also, fixing issues and bugs still takes time. it's barely been 2 months since the game's release back in January. The bugs aren't great tho, they are intensified in servers. I never really encountered most of these in single player. Then again, that's probably just my experience.
edit: It's barely been a month since the game's release, and it's a small team...so yeah. It doesn't excuse a lot. Plus there was hype, I had a teacher in high school hyping this game. I hyped the game. It looked awesome. I still think its awesome. Also, there's a mod to remove crafting times, and you can have your own private server. And even without mods, you can get rid of egg timers by just adjusting the setting in the world config. People are actively choosing to make the egg timers so long
Anyways, in the end its just a game that got big unexpectedly to some, and of course, like any big game, there will be controversy.
Cheap game with a theme people have been asking for while the "big boss" of the genre simply produces slop, no wonder it got popular really.

Ok i don't wanna be that guy or promote hate but
Early Access is a program where game developers can release early builds of their titles for the public to purchase. These aren't demos or simple pre-orders, they're unfinished, unpolished, and sometimes buggy alpha and beta versions of a game that's still a work in progress.
interact is F in a lot of games, particularly games made in the mid to early 2010s
I’d actually love to read the negative reviews about this specific game to see how people feel about it and see how much I agree >:)
Genshin players cried when he said "In every other game, it's E" XD
i imagine most people that play "hard mode" play on either their own server or some friends server, why not just reduce the egg timer it's only a few clicks to do so
htwo just rewatched the tf2 all wierd movement tech video and i woul like to ask for the "1 hour wallbug clip video" u said u could make.
thx :)
oooor... use a bindable controler instead of being a masochist and get palls to do your work for you...
some complaints about bugs annoy me a bit because EARLY ACCESS GAME.
granted, EA is not a perfect shield against any critisism of flaws, but it should allow some leniancy with messy stuff
(like the timers and all) , because it isn't a final product.
granted save file corruption, if it is indeed as common as implied, should definitly be patched ASAP, and is not excusable
edit: should have left the video running because Htwo calls the same thing out
They weren’t expecting it too be popular simple as day
I generally disagree with bug complaints on a early access title but i think the complaints are mostly justified (when they aren't used to specifically yell "game bad") considering what the studio did with their previous title, like one of the reviews said, it's taking most of its base from their previous game and retaining a lot of it's bugs, im personally inclined to leave a negative review despite liking the game specifically for that reason, you can be critical of something you enjoy and you should be.
I think the reason HH2 is most annoyed about the bugs it’s because as he says in the video, they’ve already released the game extremely similar to Palworld that they abandoned and who know they’re not just gonna leave this game behind too. I hope they don’t for the people who bought it and like it but they definitely could if they wanted to.
Well actually climbing was added to real life as a reference to breath of the wild
at least they diddnt copy every line of code from botw like palworld did
@@brokovnik Genshin with the hilichruls having the same animations as the Bokoblins and same climbing animations with no one giving a fuck:
damn bro annoying af lol
Personally, I haven't played myself, but people hate Palworld for some stupid reasons.
1. It literally came out about 1 month ago of course it's going to be laggy; HECK a game worked on for 10 years was so laggy it had to be taken down.
2. It's not a rip off of games because of their mechanics or style Pokémon isn't the only game that can have tamable fighting creatures that may or may not be put into elements/types.
3. Hackers usually find a way to hack games no matter what blockages creators put in it.
4 Keybinds aren't the same for every game and F is also a common toggle button. THERE'S ALSO A KEYBING SETTING IN MOST GAMES TO CHANGE THEM UP.
5. Chill out about the grinding, ALMOST EVERY GAME HAS IT this one just be longer than expected
I'm not saying that everyone should love the game, and I understand that they may just genuinely dislike it. You can still dislike the game, but just don't be so biased about it.
i know this is a little bit of an old video, but you got me thinking- personally i think its okay if a game takes a bunch of mechanics from existing sources if it combines them in a way that creates a unique experience. i think the pals and "volunteer" labor system really sets it apart from any of the games it aped off of, gameplay wise.
This game is like the last game they made and thats why its souless is funny as hell 😂 how do people like this exist, talking about soul of a game. The only thing that matters is it just fun or not, ive never played any of the other games he mentioned that are "good" in his eye and said, mmmmm i feel the soul in this game
A game having an identity is really important, it's what makes it stand out from the rest, Dark soul at the time of it's release was an unique game.
If a game is soulless then it's like all of those bland AAA game that feels all the same
(Altho I disagree with his point that palworld is a souless game)
also it is a game that people enjoy, did you just never look at steam, 94% of the 222,000 reviews are positive.
i mean we all now the bigest flaw there isnt any *** in valheim with pokemons
I don’t know why pc games can’t keep the interaction button as one button it’s always either F or E and we always have a stroke trying to remember. I just wish they had a option in the game to swap the button from F to E and vice versa
People actually find it difficult? How many brain cells do you guys have? And you can change the keybinds in Palworld.
you do have some fair points but here is a thought, maybe people play the game because its... fun, I'm not at all a Pokémon fan and yet i really enjoyed the time i played it. Personally i didn't experience almost any game breaking bugs.
honestly i think another reason palworld was so popular was just because it was on more systems, especially steam. pokemon being switch/nintendo exclusive kinda stinks, and while i understand why, i just wish i could play them on other systems just so i don't have to fork out $300 for a new system and games to go with it.
i know emulation exists, but nintendo is so hand and fist against it for some reason, and it doesn't really feel the same as owning the game.
i never really got suckered into palworld since it looked so bland at a first glance, but this does really make me wish for a really good pokemon like game for steam, or just pokemon at all.

and come on, you can t tell me ONE thing out there that doesn t look like a pokemon...
and let me remind you there s a pokemon that looks like anything. even one that looks like trash...
There's other creature catching games that don't get written off as plagirism because they have their own artstyle and design philosophy
Mainly: Yokai Watch, Digimon and Bakugan
Even though they have a similar premise: collecting creatures, they have their own style
Barely anyone would look at a Yokai from Yokai watch and think that it is a Pokemon, because the style is not the same at all
Meanwhile Palworld literally has the exact same artstyle
Huh. I love Valheim and Palworld, just waiting for more content to be added to both. Guess I'll click off now lol
can u do a reading geometry dashes negative reviews so u dont have to
I honestly never understood why people want an open-world main series Pokémon game so badly. I could see it working for a spinoff, but mashing together a turn-based battle system, linear leveling system, and open-world exploration seems like a recipe for disaster.
See: Scarlet and Violet.
counterpoint: Legends Arceus (although it does have that dynamic turn system with agile and dynamic style moves, but you get the point)
I think S&V is a poor comparison considering the game itself is poorly made, take a look at the recent zelda games for example, would you not enjoy something with that level of quality on a pokemon game? (Tho i can't argue against it being a possible spin off)
Exactly what I’m thinking
No way... The *early access* game, made by a *small indie team* , with only a *month* since release that has *bugs* that need to be fixed has BUGS?!?!?! *wHO WoUlD'vE hAd tHOugGhT???*
And also, as he said, literally millions of people who bought it. So they can afford to hire around triple the size of their current team and deal with those bugs way faster than most indie Devs can.
To be fair, they already made almost exactly like this game and left it in the dust with no updates and leaving it in very buggy state they could absolutely do the same thing again so just wait and see I’m not saying they will but they can
it’s an asset flip of a fully released game that pocket pair also made
You seem to be getting a lot of backlash but I agree with you
There's ways to make creature catching games without being a blatant rip-off
Yokai-Watch, Bakugan, Digimon, maybe Yugioh if you wanna count it.
You show someone creatures from these series and they won't think they are pokemon, they clearly have their own artstyle and design philosophy
Well, the game is in EA - meaning it is an unfinished products so maybe in a year or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.
Warzone did the same thing. It got to watch battle royals come out and cheery pick the best things from each game to merge in their own. I was a big ark fan and never got into pokemon and palworld i've been able to continuously enjoy in solo world playing, to each their own tho. There is no denying they didnt steal things lol
Intro to palworld spawn area is copy of Elden ring, I saw video that compares them and I am utter shock how similar!
tbh, palworld’s controversies are stupid. The worst part of it is the fact that it sucks
The one thing i don't understand is why they didn't just keep the art style of Craftopia. I think it fits much better with the cartoony creatures.
Actually i want to correct something. While the game wasnt per say elden ring levels of hype. There was alot of anticipation for it when it released its first trailer.
Cassete Beasts is the game that deserves this level of success.
That game actually feels like an improved Pokémon game.
You should do a negative reviews video for outer wilds
I like how palworld has no identity, I think it's fine for some games to be just a sandbox. Not every game has to be deep rock or monster hunter.
I didn't have any bugs in my game but I know other had so I can't say much about that but I think palworld is fine how it is. It's just a sandbox with creature mechanic and that how I like it. I think it's a lot better then Pokemon since it does not have a silly story and old game design.
although I can see where some people come from, in my opinion some of the things you bring up are what make the game fun for me.
1. The bugs, I know I know, they can be annoying. but during my time on single player, I have had no game breaking bugs that made the game worse. just some kind of funny ones. one of the only game breaking bugs I know of, (the tower boss catching) just makes the game better.
2. The grindyness. I hate it, but it can be taken away by just either playing the game to get better pals to reduce crafting time. (ahem Anubis) or by changing the difficulty setting to what you want the game to feel like. if you don't like the level times or resource amounts, BOOST IT.
3. The "ripping off". personally for most of the games you brought up, they are done well, in some cases better than the original. with the creature catching and combat, pal world does it better than even Arceus, which in my opinion does the whole "Pokemon" thing best. and I don't think its even wrong to steal the ideas, especially if they are very popular, and use them together to create a game with fun gameplay. the CEO of pocket pair even said that he wanted to take loved ideas and uses them to make the best game possible.
4. Palworld is made in a different engine than Craftopia, (unreal instead of unity), and is more polished, also ITS FINE TO REUSE THEIR OWN ASSETS. (and the unity assets stores)
5. I'm pretty sure you can rebind the use key.
6. the games not soulless, the attention to detail is amazing, specifically in the animation of the pals.
Sorry for the yap
ALSO ITS EARLY ACCESS GIVE THEM A BREAK
edit: i get the worry that it might not get updated, but they seem to really care about the game
edit2: they are working to fix the cheating, and on the 7th a patch came out with one fix saying: Fixed an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the total number of Pals captured by the guild reached approximately 7000.
£20 i'm never getting back
you sound like the people you make fun of in your other vids
You should read negative reviews for Undertale
It’s kinda funny tho how they fixed a lot of the bugs before modern shitfair 3 could that is crazy how do you have like idk how much but it is way over motherfucking 100 and still not fix your shit game
Perhaps the biggest problem with this game is they literally stole NOTHING from Rain World.
this video is just man complaining about early access game because it's early access
I love slavemon
honestly the F key thing makes me extremly angry as well
**laughs in XBOX**
Can't you just change keybinds in settings?
@@JenyaFio He can he just need something to complain
@@RavDeBestYeah, but why complain about keybinds if you could just change them? It seems like such a minor flaw unless you can't actually do so (haven't played Palworld at all and I don't intend to, so I can't tell for sure).
@@JenyaFio Also u can make so u earn xp faster and remove timers of the egg in the settings. Half of things can be solved in world settings
i love valheim. i have 140 hours in the game. it was my life for weeks. (:
imagine taking an old game, add cool shaders and replace models, and call it a new game
Did you just accuse the game of leaving bugs in for months when its only been out for ONE? Did yo. Even TRY to enjoy it? Or did you come in WANTING to bash it? A lot of your complaints could have been fixed in the settings
clearly the latter 😂 0 research and a bunch of accusations out of nowhere 🤡
Bugs shouldn't count in this video since its only in early access and every game has some bug early on in development
This is only in my opinion btw
I’ve seen this argument so many times, the funny part being that you can shut down the argument instantly by saying “it’s an asset flip of a fully released game”
i mean i get it, but at least its better than call of duty modern warfare III black ops 7 zombies
at least modern warfare III is actually fun
@@maksuzbrojony8221 So, the shit ton of people having fun with Palword doens't exists? There's also a lot of people who thinks MWIII is boring.
@@Nayu-ls4xz Never seen a single person say something positive about it
@@maksuzbrojony8221 Not my problem that you turn a blind eye to the huge number of people playing and having fun with it. Anyways, do as you wish.
I mean hey, I did kinda like Legends of Arceus.
Not as good as Pokemon: Infinite Fusion but it was fun for me.
Most of the time I’m reading the reviews of a game that I actually like.
Please don’t tell me you liked Overwatch 2..
Did... did you play the game? Any Handiwork lvl 4 or higher pal can make anything in seconds. Timers for eggs are for multiplayer and can be turned off for your own servers. Lying about the game doesn't make your review any more compelling.
i got 86 hours in this game pretty fun i do NOT LIKE HTWO anymore
There's many problems with this critique:
1.
Money by itself cannot all solve all problems in life. This is especially true for video games. You can't just throw money and bring in more people to fix a game in a span of couple of weeks, or months even. It takes time to onboard people. It takes time to grasp the type of game systems that have been implemented in the game before someone can go and begin to do something to help the situation.
2. It's kinda childish to complain about Palworld borrowing features from other games. You cannot copyright ideas. If someone can take what you did and do it better, there's nothing wrong in that. This is not the first one (like Genshin Impact), humans have always grown by taking references from each other. The same can be said about your CZcams content.
Like it or not, Palworld is it's own thing, pal.
The game has only been out for ONE MONTH and you claim these issues have gone unresolved for months? Now i know you're just a typical hater who can't stand when their favorite multi-billion dollar corporation finally has some competition.
Dude… Can you at least TRY to research a topic before making an argument?
the part in the end is my big realisation from palworld's hype:
pokemon fans (the ones that don't eat up anything gamefreak shits out like it's from god himself, anyway) have been wanting some breath of fresh air for ages. *some* change. the battle system, the exploration gameplay, the majority of the story beat and game structure have been the same ever since the first editions. sure, the games look like gamecube games rather than gameboy games now, but at the end of the day you're still doing the same old things.
the fact that the last few entries have pretty blatantly been cheaply thrown together, are butt ugly* and have loads of bugs doesn't make that any better.
and *because* this lack of improvement has gone on for so long, even something as soulless, low-effort, bugged and garbage as palworld scratches that itch enough to generate the hype it did. because pokemon is that stuck.
and i don't think the solution is "make palworld but with pokemon". it's "make pokemon, but different in some way". again, the core mechanics are still the same as in the first entries in the series. look how other JRPGs, say final fantasy, have evolved over time - different combat systems, MMO elements (that actually work and don't have a 7 second latency :D), different perspectives and all. hell, maybe do make it a survival game. just give me something new, an actual adventure**, an experience that i haven't had with every pokemon game i played so far.
side notes that aren't relevant to my point, but that i still wanna rant about:
*which for the record isn't because "the switch can barely run them" but because the devs don't get nearly enough time to polish it to be able to run on the switch. BotW looks so much better and also runs on the switch. don't blame the hardware, blame the management setting way too tight deadlines and budgets.
**ideally also without the god awful pacing pokemon games tend to have. i don't want to have to spend several hours before i see multiple pokemon other than "starter", "local bird", "local bird from other region", "local worm", "local worm from other region", "not zubat again", "not geodude again" or magikarp, and i don't want to have to have collected several fucking badges before getting to a location more interesting than "city", "grassland", "forest" or "cave" (or "beach" if the developers feel daring this time). why do i have to sink so much of my time into the game before i see any pokemon that aren't just the most boring animals they could think of, and to see any cool places? i'm currently replaying alpha sapphire and getting past badge 3 became such a breath of fresh air because i finally got to see an even mildly interesting location. why can't i already be exploring volcanoes, icy mountains, ashpits, the seas, a desert tower or any other cool stuff before sinking >10 hours into this game?
Legends Arceus is Pokemon but different and people still complained. You can never make everyone happy
I don't think god has any money
14 seconds into this video currently
i bet at least a quarter of the negative reviews are going to be "pokemon with guns" or a variation
wish me luck
edit: well that didnt age well
I like your profile picture
The answer is H cubed btw
I agree with this, pal world is horrible, also you should read Ellen ring reviews
why did you said months it is aout in just 1 month?
Because he did no research
Every one of these complaints completely undermines one fact: Palworld is a shitpost developed by 3 people who made this game on limited resources in their free time.
The game's identity comes from it spoofing Pokémon and implementing mechanics from other games, almost as if it is a love letter to those other titles. The game even goes further beyond with this as it goes absurdly dark at times that you can't help but laugh. And in response to you handwaving that Palworld should have made their mechanics unique orbelse it's a copy, well what about the FPS mechanics in Battlefield, TF2, CoD, DOOM and Halo? Are they copying each other on that front? And how are you meant to make a dodge mechanic not similar to Dark Souls? No game owns its mechanics and it's better to do what you know works instead of fumbling it trying to innovate when it's not needed.
Next the bugs, the size of the studio means they don't have the manpower to fix the bugs or make QoL changes quickly. GameFreak can't use this excuse because Pokémon's a multimedia conglomerate owned by Nintendo, all the bugs and boredom in Gen 9 are a result of laziness. Plus it seems the devs are focused on adding more content to the game, which I would argue the game need far more desperately. Obviously they should fix the bugs, but don't say that there's no excuse because "game's made many monies!"
Finally, asset flipping... how do you asset flip your own resources? As far as I know, every asset used in Palworld and Craftopia are made by PocketPair, so how is it a problem when they take their own assets from one of their games and reuse them for another? I'd be a waste of resources otherwise.
Well the game was never to be something new to begin with. They devs has already said that they don't want it to be something new and creative, and that they like to reuse good game mechanics in their game. You seem to be angry on every single bug by sound of it, I'm no game developer but I have heard from many of them that it's not easy creating a game.
thought i was the only one who just dislikes the game.... hates the game...
palworld has the pokemon legends arcues dodges
As an ark official player for 1.5 years before it got taken down, palworld really just feels like a worse ark. More unnecessary mechanics, crafting isnt automated, the same kind of creature taming, mechanics, and utilities. This is why i would sooner buy ark ascended than palworld
-Open access, lots of bugs.
-There's a fix for lost save dats in the info screen when you boot up the game, it's a manual fix but it's something.
-There are public servers you can find that are pass protected in the palworld discord, I've had 20+ hours on just that and am throughly enjoying myself. Offical severs are basically unplayable tho, this is true.
-I have 60+ hours and still having fun, and still finding new content. The grind seems larger than it is, it's easily overcome with, ya know, playing the game. (Pals collect for you, better pals=faster collecting/helping)
-Ik it's a ripoff, I don't care, I'm having fun. The only major concern I have is the track record with the devs.
-You don't have to enjoy it, you don't have to play. Just don't knock the ones that are. :) Happy hunting.
Oh, I should note actually, the public server I'm playing on is x2 xp and drop rate, so ig it's not fair for me to comment on the grind. Mb
Also I don't use the CZcams app cause ads, so I can't edit comments, hence the replies. Sorry again. (Brave browser ftw)
hot
Balls
I didn't realise it was a straight asset flip. I knew the game took a lot from other games, but it looked fun and I had a good time qith it qhen i did get it. But there was always a feeling that something just felt off about it, that explains it. Kinda dissapointing, but guess that's a lesson to be more careful in the future.
This doesn’t really matter but technically this game is not an asset flip as an asset flip is when you buy premade assets from a asset store and then slam those assets together to create a game but as far as anyone knows the developers of this game made those assets maybe they did just buy them.
Eh, I like it
Wait, people has problem with grind? I just let the pals do everything, specially after the recent att. I just let them in the base while I go on a adverture to kill everything.
BTW, this one is a very biased video.
And come on, the complain about the F key is just childish lmao
I will say, I respect it for how popular it got and my friends actually gave it good reviews. I can't get over how some of the pal designs are literally just Pokemon but different color.
I'm not sure which one it is but it's a pal that's literally just Cinderace but green.
That ones called Verdash. And frankly? As someone who's disagreed with some of the "copied" allegations, I have zero defense for Verdash
More modern games tend to use f not e for interact. It's usually games with older roots which use e
Theres more pokemon fans than palworld fans. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
i can't help but dislike palworld, the designs are just so uninspired. i don't care if they used ai or not it's still boring to look at designs i already know but a little different
Palworlds art style is all over the place. Theres a screen shot of cartoony pokemon with realistic miniguns. The enviorment looks like real life. At least mario oddessy can keep a consistant artstyle. Nothing feels out of place in that game.
10:13 lmaaaooo
