It looks fun, smooth, but I can’t unsee how much shit they’ve ripped off and killing Pokemon just rubs me the wrong way.
What did they rip off? There are over a thousand pokemon, most of which are very similar to real animals or mythical creatures so you’re inevitably going to have some similarities. If there were actually copyright infringement going on, Nintendo would be all over it. Don’t tell me anubis (the pal) copied lucario when lucario copied anubis (the god)
Breath of the Wild - Stamina meter in the same style, position, and orientation. Glider and air movement, (Haven’t checked if they ripped off the cliffside climbing too but probably.)
Pokemon - At least half their designs are 80% likeness to already existing Pokemon, you use ‘balls’ to capture the creatures when they’re weak enough, you use these captured creatures to fight for you, you’re considered a ‘trainer’.
Like do I really need to spell out every fucking piece of this game that was stolen to you? Taking tons of shit from other games and mashing it into a new game is not creative, shouldn’t be celebrated, and damn sure isn’t legal. Nintendo have already confirmed they’ve only recently been made aware of it and are “investigating” it. The fact it hasn’t been Thanos snapped yet doesn’t mean it won’t be.
There’s no way Nintendo is “only just aware of it” when the trailer was from 1-2y ago. If they had anything obvious to stand on, they’d have blasted it before release.
The stamina meter with gliders. Looks like genshin. But was it really novel in genshin? Should we complain that RD ripped off witcher bc you can ride a horse? Mechanics like this are not legally protected, which is a good thing or someone would patented the minimap and the game industry would suck.
BOTW - None of the things you mentioned were original for that game either. I remember gliding around as Spyro all the way back in the 90’s. Even the Just Cause series had them before Zelda. Stamina bars have been in so many games I think you’d need an archeologist to work out where they originated from.
The Pals are obvious rip-off Pokémon, but as Nintendo / Gamefreak don’t give a shit about making a half-decent game from their own IP, I think it becomes fair game for other companies to have a crack at it.
A comment I saw on another forum basically pointing out that Palworld demonstrates the gigantic demand for a real new Pokemon game that isn’t whatever Scarlet was.
Yeah Nintendo need to make better Pokemon games but it doesn’t make Palworld anything better than ripped off slop.
Yeah imagine killing a 20+ year old franchise that pisses on their fanbase.
If you’re delusional enough to think this slop game is going to kill Pokemon I don’t know what to tell you bud
I can get over the Pokemon ripoff, my issue is their earlier, unfinished, semi abandoned game craftopia.
The little Breath of the Wild stamina meter and glider kinda drive me up a wall. They’re just adding the same shit they’ve nabbed and put into that game and threw fuckin Pokemon in it.
The more I scroll, the more of your diatribe I see.
You know that third person game mechanics was a thing before either game existed, yeah? Did they both steal that too?
