Thoughts on Palworld (+my computer has been dead forever)
a year ago
My Win10 computer is dead. I don't want Win11. I only want ReactOS.
After hearing a lot of discussion videos on the game, I really want to put my two cents in. Here's a copy of what I said under Rimmy Downunder's video on Palworld, with an edit or two for a journal format.
I have never seen any more (mechanically) accurate "poke-clones" like Coromon or TemTem see this much hate for ripping off Pokemon, it seems like the hate is more due to the game being too edgy, or the dev's other game that is essentially Jackbox's "Push The Button" but with an AI generator. Both of which, although I agree a bit that perhaps this wasn't the game that should've broken the "pokemon-clone" curse and finally cemented 'mon games as a Genre, shouldn't be something that makes us fight like children in the playground like in the "Digimon's just a rip-off of Pokemon!" days.
I also hate that every-other person I've subscribed to is now playing this and titling the game "Pokemon with guns". "Skyrim with guns" was a buzzword about Fallout 4 having mostly the exact same pros and cons as it but in another setting, this is a totally different game than Pokemon. Even going through a list of 'mon games I know of I can think of nothing like it.
It would be like calling Half Life:Alyx a "Doom Clone in VR", like who does that? Who would use "Doom-Clone" in 2024? Who would send death threats to Valve for ripping of ID?
I mean yeah some of the Pals are too close to Pokemon for comfort, but others are way different, and copies alone shouldn't be what makes or breaks a game.
I'm very interested in how this game pans out in the future, both in terms of how the genre evolves in the future and in terms of how The Pokemon Company responds (either legally, mechanically, and hey! maybe diplomatically; they are a separate entity to Nintendo and gave a green light on emulations(don't know how much green)) Even though I don't think this game is for me and Even Though I've never played a Pokemon game since Blockbuster existed (and never any mainline!)
I have a lot of thoughts about this game that should probably go into like a discussion video, but I don't know how to make those so enjoy my six-paragraph journal entry. Also when are we getting Smash or Pass: all mon games edition?

I'm gonna do something [stupid], that will require too much effort from me, and will make anyone who views it question my sanity
