It's almost like Nintendo had every opportunity over the last 30 years to release pokemon on pc and it's their own fault for pretending like we still exist in an era of console exclusivity.
Go palworld go. Not interested myself but glad there's real competition to nintendo's bullshit now
Keep an eye on it anyway. There is a epic boatload of potential in the game just below the surface. Right now the game is good, and fun, though still only a little deep and plenty wide. A couple good choices could easily deepen that depth significantly. I honestly feel as if the current game is only a foundation to lay more on top of.
That said, I'm rather bias in my optimism.
Yup, I'd buy so many Pokemon games on PC it would make Nintendo's head spin.
The power of hype is borderless
When it’s just hype alone, games end up getting destroyed with bad reviews. If a game is hyped up and is actually good, that’s different, isn’t it?
People are loving the concept, but I've heard the game itself is pretty meh
If a game lives up to the hype, it's not hype. It's recognition.
All my friends and I never heard of this game until it came to early access. We weren't hyped at all more surprised. Plus I want to play it before Nintendo tries to sue. I know they have no right to but it's Nintendo, they'll probably try
Careful of accusing Nintendo of being litigious, they might sue you for damaging their rep.
That’s called hype 🤗
Nah I thought hype was like being excited for something to be. As far as I know most people weren't excited for it before it released
Hopefully they don’t pull a TemTem
I hope this will help the devolopment of the game so that this doesn't stay in early access forever like their previous game
I hope they don't just pack their pencils and leave after this.
I think we are safe on that front at least, there is way too much effort put into the game for it to be a cash grab and run
Wouldn't be the first. I mean, they already have millions in profit. I don't know how big their team is, but at 7$M development cost they are looking at 100M+ profit.
With a quick search, seems like estimates are that the team size is currently around 40 people. This makes it sound like a more committed effort than if it was a small team.
From what I’ve read, it’s ARK but not terrible. Watched the first 20 minutes and it was more reminiscent of BOTW. When’s it swap to ARK?
That is has some base building elements, it's a bunch of popular elements from other games put into a open world pokemon botw mold.
