Random thought. There are Pal souls you can pick up to further enhance your pals.
The pals you enslave and/or kill all have souls.

Xbox doing much bigger numbers than I expected. Yes I know ones sales and the other players, it's going to be all kinds of ridiculous if this actually moves the sub numbers substantially more than the big names that were going to.
please don't give people these ideas rofl I don't need this drama around souls games

I was watching a friend play. It was like a boss battle and it just made me realise how terrible the latest Pokemon game is. What this dev has achieved is very impressive.

Should I give Ark a second shot? It’s on game pass.

So how close to identical are they now?
It looks like xbox is catching up at a serious clip. Would be amazing to get cross play soon.

That’s when I will give the game another go. That and PvP.

So I tried ARK again. I played for about 2 hours. I thought that if I can have a great time with Palworlds survival/crafting elements, I might be ready to try ARK again.
Fuck me. ARK sucks. Palworld really just nails the systems. I tried Valheim when it got added to game pass, and I didn’t like that game either.
Palworld really just does it all better.

Could you elaborate more? What does it do better, exactly?
hahaha that's what I was saying in a post in some thread and

agreed, going back to excessive busywork in other survival games is like going back to everquest after wow. I think this game even for people who don't like it will benefit in future survival games as this will hopefully make others have to streamline the core gameplay mechanics.I played ALOT of ark the few years after it released and your talking 100's of hours to get ready for the green (easy) tier bosses.
To tame a dino in ark your looking at 20+ minutes if you know what your doing and what to feed the dino, and you can't really do too much else because your have to keep it tranqed (asleep). End game taming is much longer and then you need to breed alpha versions (rare finds) to get a low level alpha you can then level up to get the strongest version. That's only just the capturing mechanic which palworld lets you do by fighting the animal and throwing an orb at it before it dies. You don't want to mine ore? no problem set up a base near some ore and you can get the pals to do it for you while you go do something else, you can speed it up in ark by riding certain dinos that are good miners but they are generally slow moving and you still have to do it. There's a bunch of other mechanics we could talk about like getting keys for the boss fights each time you want to do one in ark which you have to do 3 times for each boss to get the high tier gear etc. Palworld just doesn't waste your time as much as ark or other things like conan exiles which is not as bad as ark but still lots of busywork.

500k per month for the servers? Tf is that normal?

I think no one did.
I hated Valheim so I wasn't planning on playing this, until I saw literally everyone playing it.
And honestly, I'm having an absolute blast. Unlike Valheim, this game was designed to be fun, not just challenging. Going out, exploring stuff, flying your pals, this game is the best pokémon game in existence in all but it's name.

Have you tried Enshrouded? I prefer it to Palworld personally, and it is a similar vein just a darker tone and obvs no pokemen involved

If it’s PC only, then nope.

Microsoft should assist with all of that

I bought the game on steam out of sheer curiosity, how does the multyplayer work? can i just be in a server with strangers? or do i have to invite\getting invite by friends?
I kinda wanna see people around me doing their shit while i'm doing mine, is there a mode for that? i feel like solo play could be boring.
Or it is better to start the game solo, upgrade a little and then join randoms (if possible)?
Also, am i forced to build a big base? can't i just build a basic thing and just go catch pokemon and explore and fight shit?

Yup. It works. Is it perfect? Nah. But the gameplay loop is good fun.
Great example of a game where you get more out of it, if you put the time in.

And no capturing/taming, no automation, no raids/base defense, in fact the base is mostly just a place to store your crap.
It's more of a conventional quest structure.
I like both games and have put close to equal time in both, but they have little in common aside from "You will start your journey by punching trees and you will explore a static/non-random environment"

Yeah i just played for like 3 or 4 hours straight.
With survivals\base builders i usually last from 5 to 30 min.
if the game doesn't force me to waste time on building a big base and i can just explore and fight\collect pals than i'm gonna continue playing, putting the pals at work for resorces and building a small 2x2 mt house with a bed and a sock for lonely moments is the max i can handle base builder wise, more than that and i'm gonna get bored.
At best i'm gonna place some walls to protect the pals.
I already crafted the charm that make the purple ghost pal follow me so i can have 2 pals in combat at the same time.
I'm finding the game very easy for now, i captured like almost 15 different species of pals and i wasn't close to die once and just used a spear even if i have a bow, should i play on hard?

There's no Poke Mart here so you have to do most of the work yourself, but realistically you're only going to have main base & 2 small sites for mining metal and other resources.
If you play on your own server or offline, you can edit difficulty (change world settings/custom difficultly) and fine tune to your liking. Remove death penalty so you don't need to do corpse runs for example. Plenty of options.

I think we waited till lvl 25 before we took her on. Quick google shows Eurogamer got her at lvl 16.
Upgrade everything, and craft the thingamabob pals need for their special attacks.
You can find improved rare/legendary schematics for weapons and other gear in dungeons. Those help too. I'm still using the regular crossbow in the legendary version most of the time at lvl 36.

Fucked her up when i got the crossbow and the pink dino pal who want to rape other pals, so yeah around level 15 or 16.
And also did a dungeon but the final price was a lame ice shirt.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looks like the Xbox and Steam versions are finally in-sync on version numbers.
