[@BlazeMakesGames]

I honestly wish that Legends Arceus was like this. Rip-Offs and pointless clickbait violence aside, it seems like such a massive wasted opportunity that pokemon hasn't basically tried to combine like Pokemon and Stardew Valley. Not to mention that survival crafting games tend to do a lot better when automation is involved to help take care of the more tedious aspects, hence why I only really play Minecraft with Industry mods like Create these days. And the way this game works is you can get some real automation going pretty much instantly thanks to how the pals work.

[@ghostshrimp5006]

I don’t know man, Boulders gate, New World, Cyberpunk, palworld’s sitting pretty cozy on top of them as the fourth biggest player based on steam, skyrocketing into the millions in only three days. Seems to me like rip offs and pointless clickbait violence seems to be what the people want, especially if it means that people can thoroughly rip into a stagnant franchise

[@Kektus1]

It's weird. I know the Pal designs lack originality and can see their original influence every time I see them. Yet hanging around at base and watching them grow plants, build things, craft stuff, cook food, smelt ore... and getting happy every time they finish one of these things, is just cozy as hell. I'd play tons of Pokemon if it played like this. And the combat, crazy as it can be, is actually fun compared to Pokemon's turn-based formula. Dodging attacks, firing a musket at thugs while riding a big bird... it's so good.

[@SeanCrosser]

Pokemon's done some good between Legends adding in Pokemon functionality outside of Moves, and stuff like picnic and camping... but they're just side features, in the end. Like Pokemon aren't "alive" outside of those contexts.

[@PixelOverload]

2:09:25 Most headphones will bypass any bluetooth modules and such entirely when you plug in an AUX directly, so if they're not working (and everything up to them definitely is) there's basically two possibilities: 1. (Hopefully) you got some schmutz in your AUX port, if you're getting occasional crackles when rotating or replugging the jack this is probably the issue. Just clean it out with a qtip or tweazers, etc 2. The headphones took some percusive damage (or the cups were ripped off the headband at some point) and a wire is loose internally. More likely the case if shaking the headphones can cause crackling (when plugged in of course) or no sound happens at all no matter what. This will require dismantling the headphones and identifying the loose wire to resolder it, much more hassle but it's all you can do 🤷

I think people comparing this game to Pokemon don't understand the actual appeal to Pokemon. Also gamefreak should maybe do a better job, Nintendo should give them perhaps more than a year to put out a game, and also maybe having to animate less than like 900 fuckin mons would help (palworld apparently has 137 which is a respectable number) . Palworld is a feat as far as indies are concerned, but this is less like Pokemon and more like bad Satisfactory. I say bad Satisfactory, because everything about the crafting loop seems to be at the greatest inconvenience possible. Rotting food alone makes me not want to even bother

[@Dr.Spatula]

People comparing this to pokemon don't know what games are, you don't have to redo animations from scratch every time like the idiots at Gamefreak do, and they already heavily limit the number of mons in a game so the argument is irrelevant.

Like, if I come up to a door irl, and I can't figure out if it's a pull or push door, I'm gonna be a little annoyed at whoever designed the door.

"Pokemon with guns" is literally the original Pokemon universe, especially if you read the manga. They cleaned it up so much for the games and anime... It's supposed to be legit dangerous to go outside without your guardpet. The villians are actual criminals with weapons that don't just go stop b/c a random kid dueled them. Modern Pokemon is unplayabley dumbed down (I wouldn't have enjoyed it when I was 9) and WORSE gltichy af. The videogames used to be rock solid, with difficult to find bugs, not falling apart, thru the map, with busted cutscenes... Yall need to stop accusing everything of being AI that you don't like, too. AI work is incredibly easy to spot. If it was a free fan game, you wouldn't even be crying about it.
