Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.
Leaning into the forced labor and slavery part is what I think is edgy. It’s an opinion, can’t tell someone what’s too edgy for them lol
Having played many hours, the game isn’t like that at all just the marketing, I haven’t really seen more emphasis on it being slavery or forced labor than any other game where you control creatures
Not trying to tell anyone what’s too much for them, just mean to share my experience
Yeah they made the first trailer a bit dark and edgy but that was just to generate controversy to get people talking about it, which clearly worked extremely well
Every comment I read about the actual game being edgy just has me like
Dawg I just don’t wanna play the game lol, not my vibe
That’s cool, no one has to play any game
I just don’t get the all the comments making assumptions about the game based on the vibes of a trailer from a year ago, I thought the trailer was stupid and was ready to hate the game but it turned out way different
The entire discourse comparing this to the actual Pokémon games and other monster collectors is also baseless, it’s apples to oranges because this isn’t turn based. If you prefer turn based games that’s great but they’re completely different and telling me to play a turn based game instead just shows that you don’t know the first thing about what you’re criticizing
None of this is directed at you or anyone personally but this may be the stupidest struggle session in the history of the site and everyone just needs to remember one thing, “no investigation, no right to speak”
