Something a little less 'sandbox' and more structured perhaps?
> I do feel they skirt a little close to the "straight ripoff" line on a lot of these creatures.While it's a bit of the popular narrative, I have to say, the vast, vast majority aren't. Like, there's only about, maybe, 10-20ish I can say are "blatant ripoffs". And of those, only two are to the point of being actually distracting, as, most of those 'rip offs' are like Chillet or Loveander where they're pretty unique in their own right even if you can kind of see what they were trying to do.
It's one of those things a lot of folk like to parrot and push, but, I don't think they're actually aware the game has over 200 pals, the vast majority of which are fully unique designs in the first place.
> I am on the side of it being a good thing that it wasn't cracked down on too hardIt was, though. They just weren't stupid about it, and Nintendo had no real room to stand. Even when they tried to patent frankly absurd things like 'throwing an object to summon a creature' or 'gliding via monster', or any of their other claims that ultimately got tossed out (and, in the US at least, attempted to get patented AFTER Palworld came out...)
Keep in mind that a huge chunk of Palworld's revenue had to go to fighting off Nintendo because of all this.
Frankly, I find it a wonder we got 1.0 at all, let alone it's this solid.
Any other indie title, even if they got money like Palworld, would've caved, wrote off the game, and moved on.
These guys got my support for standing up to the BBEG that is modern Nintendo.

>>1209419Well, certainly not the MMO Action RPG-style I am seeing from gameplay videos. But then I am a bit of an old school turn based RPG fan, so I'd prefer more focus on actual 'Mon collecting and battling. I feel like there are other games I can play if I wanna run around as a person with weapons fighting big monsters personally.
I think you misunderstand me. While I haven't sat down and carefully analyzed every Pal, I am perfectly aware that there are plenty more than the few popular examples people like to dig up. Hell, I JUST said there are definitely some I genuinely really like.
I remember the throwing object thing. That was ridiculous. Like I said - I am on Palworld's side on standing up to Nintendo trying to crack down on the genre and its conventions as a whole. That shit ain't cool, and I am glad it didn't get far.
So I'm not just sitting here going on some "Ugh fuck the ripoff game" spiel.
Just saying I am of two minds based on what (admittedly limited) knowledge I do have, and that the gameplay and visual style combo doesn't look super up my alley. I'm sure it's fun for those it appeals to, and I am glad it is for you.
In any case, it's unlikely I'll ever play it much.

>>1209413Some of the pals are pretty much rip offs to be honest. A lot of them, while some what similar are so different that they have their identity, and a lot feel completely unique. Either way, pals do have a different feel to them than pokemon in my opinion.
As for Nintendo getting their buttholes blown out by the Japanese government and video game fans, that was a long time coming.
When the game first released pre 1.0, I had my complaints about the game. It was good, but felt emptier and less polished. From the mechanics to the world, to interactions. 1.0 feels like an actual good-game. Been addicted to it.

>>1209422I'm not familiar enough with the genre to really say, but, considering there aren't a pile of actions or skills you gotta think about, I don't think it's quite applicable.
I'd describe the player-side combat as 'dark souls' esque. The pal-side is pretty much entirely inactive from your own end, save for activating pals; Placing, as well, should you use a mod to restore the throwing ability.
>, I am perfectly aware that there are plenty more than the few popular examples people like to dig up.Sure; My point was more that it is not really "a lot of" the designs. The vast majority are unique designs, and even those that're 'ripoffs' in a sense are usually different enough to be their own thing.
>Like I said - I am on Palworld's side on standing up to Nintendo trying to crack down on the genre and its conventions as a whole.Sure, as am I. The point was more, though, that they WERE cracked down on hard by Nintendo.
Nintendo just overstepped massively trying to do it, and Palworld, unlike most games, let alone indie ones, had the integrity to actually fight them on it even at great costs to themselves.
Frankly, it's something that has needed to happen for ages, and I was expecting would only really occur when, though this may've been whistful thinking, some fans get together to challenge some of their more shady practices.
Though this is certainly an acceptable route.
>>1209445Flat ribbons hardly count.
Chillet bodies the pink harlot.
> It was good, but felt emptier and less polished.Similar stance;
I thought it was good enough to sell full price as a '1.0' game mind you.
Because I've played a ton of games that have less.
Buuuut, it was pretty obvious certain things were lacking, and rather than follow the style of most game studios these days, they decided to actually make the thing pretty 'full'.
Albeit I am having issues with the total lack of anywhere 'empty' now... But that's for the basebuilding side, and a result of me not really liking their usual flat dirt patches they expect you to use.

And overworked pals require more mincromanagement as you gotta swap them for others.
Better to make them your BFFs and give them luxurious beds that you can sleep next to them in, alongside cool spas, good food, and plenty of rest so you can spend all day adventuring without having to worry about them.

I need to emphasize this; I have NEVER seen a game, EVER on Steam, land a successful early access launch, and actually deliver a clean 1.0
Most the time they either keep the slow trickle updates, and just declare 1.0 years later without anything clean, leaving a still clunky game, or they just don't bother at all, basically abandon it, and give only lipservice updates at best.
Palworld is one of very, very few games I've seen actually deliver. And, hell, that's with company like No Man's Sky, that HAD to after the reputational disaster that was their launch.

Gets into the weeds a mite. I wish we had a different term for it. Especially these days as it's not really that notable any more if someone's publishing by themselves, since publishers are really rather irrelevant in the age of digital platforms and ease of self advertising.
>>1209734I'm a bit proponent of freezing as 'cool' pun intended. Big fields of ice were a ton of fun. Though alas, immunity to freezing meant I just didn't do much damage. The healing was definitely nice, though.

It's definitely a favorite, and why I tend to prefer ice dragons in many ways. Just wish the DnD variety of white chromatics were more interesting. But, dnd sometimes struggles with such things. They don't really do the elemental trope of personalities to character design, which I find a shame.

>>1209740Both Wikipedia and the company page on Steam refer to it as an independent studio, so I assume the company itself also considers itself an independent studio. Personally, I see any game either not developed or published by a major studio or publisher as an independent game. If a game isn't backed by EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, or some other major company, then I consider it an indie game. Doesn't matter how big the team is or how much money the developer has, if they make the game and put it out without outside help, it's 100% indie.
The point where it gets muddled for me is when a big company like Microsoft has a program for smaller developers.
