Thoughts After Spending 60 Hours in Palworld | Cold Take

[@dorongrossman-naples9207]

Frost's ability to write lines like "In the sand in front of me lies the last Wii U" and deliver them completely deadpan is utterly delightful.

[@kadnhart6661]

"Pals with fire powers are more dominant than pals with firepower" is such a clever bit of wordplay!

[@muntantmonsterx4365]

And the line " once I get enough bullets there will be two raid bosses in the tower"

[@brunop.8745]

literally, Fire is the best type in this game

[@6Qubed]

acquiring Mozillas early on is required for furnaces and automatic torches, they are the killer app

[@Shalakor]

@@6Qubed Wait, I'm actually still clueless about the specifics of this game, this being the first ever video I've ended up watching about it so far. ...Are Mozillas by any chance a fire type fox? Is the mad-lad-ery really browsing on that level?

@@Shalakor their proper name is Foxparks, but since my crazy brain laid eyes on a fire fox and immediately went "Mozilla!" that's just what I've been calling them

12:56 - "Some will undoubtedly be horrified by Frankenstein's Monster, no matter how nice the stitching might be, or how attractive the original body part owners were." DAYUM. That is a good line, dude. So many good ones right at the start, and then THIS gem right near the end. I mean, if we look at the original story, we should only be horrified if the monster isn't loved by its creators, and from what I see here, this game is blessed with that for sure.

[@Saggy315]

Victor Frankenstein was horrified by his own creation, his monster was still vilified by the rest of the populace.

​@@Saggy315I mean, he absolutely was. That's the entire reason for the events that followed in the book.

Personally, I prefer to call it a chimera, since saying Frankestein monster and stiched parts makes it sound like they went into steam and nintendo in the night and robbed pieces of other games to make this, heh.

[@86fifty]

[@mittensfastpaw]

You guys at Second Wind have given the most honest and well thought out take on Palworld. I appreciate it.

[@gus.smedstad]

Yeah, it's a very high-quality review. Most reviews, even reviews by enthusiasts, tend to be a bit shallower than this.

[@FlameSoulis]

I enjoy the direct explaination with how it's less creature collector and more of a 'Ark/Rust with creature collector on the side.' That's exactly how it plays, and as someone who is still salty with the whole 'Buy Ark again' situation, this feels like 'We liked Ark, but let's take out basically everything that sucked and keep the good.' Palworld is every survival game with the fat trimmed off, but enough still on so you have a juicy steak on your plate, and some of the fanciest garneshes thrown in for good measure.

[@willsoe]

Honestly I was kinda sad about yahtzees take. I don't know how much of it was playing up for the cameras but it really felt like he tried to dislike it.

[@tioseba7]

@@willsoe Tbh Yahtzee isn't a fan either of pokemon nor crafting survival games, and he does tend to be more cynical than most specially in regards to Early Access. I think it was pretty much what i expected from him.

[@gus.smedstad]

There are a number of genres and mechanics that Yahtzee just doesn't like. Many of which I personally enjoy. I don't generally watch his videos as serious reviews, just entertainment.

[@ThePiesrbest]

He calls the channel Cold Take because it's literally the opposite of a Hot Take. Completely predictable and in line with the majority opinion.

[@GeneralNickles]

​@@ThePiesrbest it's called "cold take" because of his cold deadpan delivery and downright reasonable and nuanced opinions. If you don't like his perspective, then don't watch the video. It's that easy.

[@ThePiesrbest]

@@GeneralNickles I never said I didn't like it. The implication is that you gotta know what it's useful for. And that use is not hearing a new take on a topic you've already seen discussions about.

In your last video you asked if people could tell you if they would enjoy seeing more game reviews from you, instead of the usual Cold Take content. Honestly you could just read excerpts from a physics textbook to me and I'd probably still watch. Smooooooth jaaaaazz vooooice.

[@MeTheOneth]

[@CharlieALeigh]

Frost, this review is awesome. An anecdotal retelling that highlights the highs and lows. Love it.

[@RtheDoost]

Once they allow you to manually set the tasks your pals will undertake, the work management will smooth out

[@cybergeek11235]

set *and prioritize* - "if you can mine ore, then do so; otherwise, mine rock" is one that springs immediately to mind as SUPER necessary.

[@RtheDoost]

@@cybergeek11235 yeah... My brain was struggling with articulating that. Thank you for finishing the thought!

[@arcanum3000]

That might be left out deliberately to give a reason for people to use Pals that only have one or two work types. A Pal that only has e.g. watering and hauling will spend far less time task switching than a Pal with watering and crafting and hauling and planting etc etc etc. I think making single task assignment more reliable, and having the ability to turn off certain structures you don't want used, would be enough.

[@razzvyberry4694]

But this kinda has the opposite effect where I feel disincentivesed to use non single task pals because they go waste the time and work slots of specialist pals.

[@ijones36]

Even a pal with only 1 ability will often get distracted. I want my digtoise to mine ore and ONLY ore, but, since I have a quarry on the base for stone, it'll often fuck around mining stone instead. @@arcanum3000

@@enman009 I am at 60 hours myself, and I think its just an okay game for early access. There is currently not a lot of content outside of catching legally distinct pokemans and base building. As of right now there is no option for PvP. I can only recommend the game in its current state if you are a fan of the open world survival game genre. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for new forms of content to be added.

[@nateo3040]

Cold Take earned a new fan out of me, love your delivery and enjoyed your analysis

[@Mamba219]

The actual biggest reason not to buy this game currently is if you dislike open-world games or survival crafters. I watched three minutes of this game and knew it would never be for me.

[@AttackedByWolves]

I don't like either of those but for some reason Palworld works for me.

[@IAmDaDumb1]

Yeah I mean the inverse being true as well, that if you do like this type of game then you'll probably like this game. I normally don't like these types of games but this and Once Human have both really spoke to me this year

[@Jase_LV]

Never liked a single survival game except Subnautica. Palworld works hard on making sure you can automate what you don't want to do. Wanna start immediately without crafting base? Sure, up until lvl ~15 you can just go around and the map provides "pokebals" as treasure chests and just laying on the ground. Then come back and make a selfsustanable base (around ~40 min of basebuilding work) and leave again until lvl 25. At that point, you will probably need to invest some time in second base and iron production for armor, but afterwards you are again free to go until lvl 35. At that point it's hard to catch things with just map drops, so might need to put few hours in better pokeball production. But it's like 15h in game before that is needed.

[@nerdy-wizard]

I absolutely loved the delivery of this whole video and I am now here for more!

[@augustday9483]

For an Early Access game, Palworld is surprisingly dense with content. I was amazed to see how large the world is, and it doesn't feel empty at all. I think I might try a "no flying mount" challenge at some point. I hope to see the devs flesh out the story/questing part of the game, maybe introduce some named NPCs with personality. I feel that would go a long way towards rounding out the world. There are villages and friendly encampments but they're very bare bones at the moment. I'm still a ways out from finishing the game's content, and I'm very happy with my purchase so far. Palworld is great!

[@Quinz128]

Already doing a no flying mount challenge, but it was more because I wanted to take my time. The people in playing in my server with question me about it. You'll soon learn transversal tricks like siding down hills to launch yourself on your glider, your grapple gun will be your best friend and get your stamina up to climb and find safe footholds to regain said stamina. It's fun and I think I explored even more than some of those with flying mounts just for the adventure.

[@xsanguine8]

Try it the Pokemon way, where you have to switch your mount for each traversal type, using neutral types over land, and water pals to go between islands.

[@jadefire6231]

I would recommend Fenglope for a mount that doesn't fly. I found the boss version and it's super fun to ride. I'd say more but IDK how much you would be okay with me telling you.

[@GeneralNickles]

I think the one thing that would give the NPCs some personality without very much extra work is voice acting. If they actually talked, it would help a lot. But yeah, deeper and more interesting NPCs are definitely needed. They all seem very hollow.

[@UnexpectedDanger]

Does seem like the "content" is a lot of busy work and grinding

The game is on its way to sell 10 million copies. There’s two paths here. 1. The devs just disappear into the ether never to be seen again with the get rich cash they made, or 2. They realize the stupidly big install base and ravenous fan base they have and continue making a game for them. Considering the development story I’ve heard of the game, I’d be shocked if they chose the first option

[@Wizard_Level_1]

Thanks for diving so deep into the game before putting something out about it. There are a lot of folks doing one or 2 hours and then giving their take on it as if a few hours is enough time to gauge any survival game. Those of us that play this genre know that a few dozen hours is often just enough to scratch the surface. My biggest take away is how impressed I am at how much content and how many of the systems in this game actually work considering it just released into early access. There have been so many survival crafting games that would consider the current state of this game a finished product, not that I do, just pointing out that in this genre, this game really is punching well above it's weight.

The only reason I'm not quite ready to jump into Palworld is that this is the publishers/developers 3rd game in early access currently. Now I'm not a conspiracy mind chap who thinks everything is a scam, but maybe Pocketpair should finish their other open world sandbox creative game before starting a new one. The people that paid money for Craftopia would probably feel better about their purchase if the dev wasn't chasing the next big thing.

[@RoboVenturer]

They made a second team to work on Craftopia while their primary focus is on Palworld. It seems to me that Craftopia was a stepping stone that helped made Palworld come to fruition

[@Johnnyb3g00d]

This is 100% the biggest issue with the game, and it's pretty frustrating to not hear anyone talk about it. The only thing that sets my mind at ease a little bit is that a community manager mentioned that a different team worked on Palworld, and right before Palworld's release, Craftopia received a roadmap. If Palworld's success can make both games make it to the finish line, then we're all good. Will it? I don't know, but it warrants serious criticism that nobody seems to give.

[@ryan_nstuff]

Craftopia just got a patch 5 days ago. That said, I already feel like I got my moneys worth of gameplay from craftopia, and palworld does everything craftopia did just better. It feels more like a sequel really. I already feel like I've almost got my moneys worth for palworld.

Theres a decent number of games that have a similar inventory layout but the tech is a good point that I forgot about, even if personally I don't think the tech tree mechanic is actually groundbreaking in any way and was mainly designed to gate things off while games like ark developed.

I actually am editing a video for another creator's channel where they make that comparison, too. So it's actually kinda funny to see that here too

This guy + the zero punctuation guy, this channel is going places.

[@MrProthall]

It's a very early early access game, and it runs better than ANY OTHER open world survival game in EA right now. So it has a leg up on those already Edit: It also has a better Character Creator than the last 3 Pokemon game so... LOL

[@JChaosMaster]

Honestly this was a really helpful review. It's nice seeing the game play loop by someone who knows the loop but doesn't feel the need to spoil everything along the way.

Fell off Palworld super quick but the narration of the video rules so much that I want to give it another shot.

[@WoodlandDrake]

So glad you pointed out that Palworld is less "Pokemon with guns" as people call it, and more "Ark with Pokemon" as I have been trying to tell people I know.

[@LucyBean42]

I'm really nervous about playing Palworld, mostly because I had to buy 3 real full price games to get 1 I liked. I've been burned so much by games lately I have purchase Paralysis now. Baldur's Gate 3 was my one game purchase last year I didn't regret.

[@sharlacka]

Good thing is it's not AAA price it's 30 bucks, well worth the purchase imo.

[@blairfujin]

have you played and enjoyed any other crafting-survival type games? if so, then you'll probably enjoy this one if you don't expect anything innovating from it otherwise... check if others under similair tags are on sale for less
