The fact that this is something that is worth celebrating shows how sorry a state the industry is in.
Real happy for Palworld though. Only two years in Early Access compared to the games that sit there for 5+ years, and Palworld actually intends to leave Early Access at a determined period of time instead of sitting there until the heat death of the universe.

>>720784789
Someone probably has a webm of that by now
>>
>>720784960
Since in japan nintendo patented gliding on an animal and throwing a ball to summon a monster, those two features were changed during the lawsuit. Now gliding pals enhance your gliders instead of carrying you themselves, and pals are summoned right next to you instead of throwing the ball at a distance. Two mods quickly restored them for players.

>>720789214
They're the ones that took off early, but there are a bunch more that could work in that role.

There's a lot of little new things here and there that you'll notice, too many to list.

There's also lots and lots of pages of Pal storage now, 320 extra, you would have to be very autistic to fill that up, add that one to the list of things Palworld does that Pokedon't.

It's not so much that it's the best possible, but that it's an example of how easy it is to make something more interesting and innovative (even though it isn't very innovative at all) than Pokemon.
There's always been really good monster collecting titles for their time left by the wayside. Recently replayed Azure Dreams, in GBC version this time as opposed to PS1, great classic.

Nintendo would go to Valve and tell them to delist it, Valve may or may not comply.

My complaints aren't even about specific pokemon designs. It's general artsytle. My problem was that people only buy monster collectors with literally no ambition that just use pokemon's formula and aesthetic. Slap on minecraft and Fortnite and call it a fucking day. It's a derivative market that's just bad as first person shooter video games.

Sorry Palnerds but Nintendo already won. The goal was never to actually kill the game but to surround the game with so much drama and to handicap the devs so much people eventually forget about it and move on to the next thing. The goal of the lawsuit was to destroy Palworlds momentum and Nintendo got exactly what they wanted.
Even with big updates the game barely makes it to 100k concurrent players at this point - far away from the 2 million initial peak. They successfully stomped it.

Palworld started as one of the most successful games of all time. 2 million launch players put its at the top with the other most successful titles in Steam history.
The game went from an omega phenomenal success to "just a very successful indie release"
Which is more than enough for Nintendo. This entire thing started because they saw Palworld and realized it could very well threaten the Pokemon dominated world they live in - and as it seems they successfully managed to prevent that.

It's not that I disagree with said statement, nor find it unlikely that it has happened before (in fact, I'd be more surprised if it doesn't at all) but with all the bootlegs, ROM hacks, knockoffs, and "re-envisionings" of pokemon-esque type games you'd figure that Nintendo would stomp out any and all attempts from others encroaching on their "turf".

But no, they allowed Palworld and PocketPair to grow until they actually became a threat to their IP, and only then tried their damned hardest to smack them down to no avail.

Are there any other well documented and clear-cut shenanigans out there pulled not just by Nintendo, but other companies trying to heft their weight like Nintendo has tried to do against Palworld, and utterly failed?

Here is an idea of anime courtesy of a somewhat random isekai title dropped by someone I was watching.

"I was sent to a monster capture world, but I decided to enslave people instead."

MC arrives, befriends some lesser pal like Chikipi, then some petty thief tries to mug him, during the chaos he traps the thief in a pal sphere, the thief now has to comply with his orders but still retains his memories and all, he curses, complains, etc., but he is always compelled to obey, more pals befriend the MC as he starts capturing people who usually try to take advantage on him, his "hu-mons" really feel humilliated as they realize how they eat from the pal feed box, sleep in straw beds, etc., they even discuss on their assigned labor, however they are incapable of just disobeying their master.

At some point the MC starts selling his surplus of workers to the black marketeer who finds it more lucrative than selling pals because sometimes people related to those captured humans basically pay to get them back, like the family of a nobleman who instead of just buying him back to "release him", he was very neglectful before, so now he is "forced" to spend time with his family as well as to help with the chores.

I haven't played the game since it was FOTM.

Are there any new islands?
Significant towns / quests / NPC's?

I'll admit I was totally addicted and spent countless hours managing my base. I never want to have to do that ever again. It would be cool if there were some streamlined story-mode where you travel around doing stuff like a Pokemon game. Back then, it was basically just "get strong enough to fight the tower bosses."

Yes. They added a lot of stuff but I guess in terms of story it's get strong enough to beat the tower bosses, raid bosses and the oil rig. ultra raids and hard mode tower bosses for extra measure. I actually think story will be fleshed out in 1.0 and possibly in media outside of the game itself. THE TREE

>>720807003
If you played back when it was JUST fotm, there are a few new tiny islands, each with their own allure to them, but no more than a few hundred square meters total. There's two new large islands (Sakurajima and Feybreak islands respectively) that are fairly fucking big. Sakurajima is about as big as the first island you got onto after waking up in Palworld, and Feybreak itself is fucking massive. Both are late-game islands, so if you still have your save, you should be ripe to tackle at least Sakurajima first.

Raids are a thing, and are damn near impossible to do solo (but your pals damage and your own can be multiplied in the settings, so don't feel too bad if you feel the need to change them up to kill the raid bosses).

Some 'dungeons' have been worked on a bit, there are plenty of QoL improvements, building is a bit less janky, pathing for your pals inside your own base is a LOT better and you won't find them getting stuck nearly as much (but they will anyway, honestly), there are new weapons for low-to-mid tier players so there isn't such a stark contrast between weaponry from low-to-high-tier weapons until you get passed level 55 or so. Quite a lot more decorations for bases, a lot more tools available for players across multiple level-barriers, new pals, new goofy stuff, new pal interactions.

With the Terraria collab, theres even a Terraria themed dungeon with some nice loot for lvl 30-50 players.

There a lot more than there was before. Go ahead and give it a try once the base-building bug bites you.

Only Ultra raids. If you can do the tower bosses you can brute force normal raids doing the same with more pals. don't forget you can keep throwing out pals during a raid, replacing any that have low HP or get KO'd. pal wave tactics are real (or pal pod cheese if you are no fun)
>>
>>720807850
They are trying right now
>>
>>720807873
not officially but I think it's because retards got lost going "backwards" and railroading the tutorial area made more sense because of that. I hope they add a short cinematic of the player walking up the stairs and then an earthquake happens causing a cave-in behind them.

>>720807654
depends on your definition of stealing, but it's pretty obvious where they got their "inspirations" from
wait for the lawsuit to settle if you want a definite answer
>>
>>720808181
There are a few NPCs that have SOME lines, but not very much. Zoe is pretty much the only person in Palworld that has any sort of backstory, like how she got to be where she is, how she met and befriended Grizzbolt, etc...

There are a few new hamlets that are sparsely populated with some dialogue, but that kind of stuff has been on the backburner for a while now.
>>
>>720808181
A lot more NPCs that give quests so it's not just the notes, but nothing much past that. It is still mainly a sandbox so I don't expect a full-blown story even with 1.0. They can probably flesh the world out more in other media like smaller games, manga and anime.
>>
>>720808263
it's important to note that none of the lawsuits are about the pal designs themselves, just other mechanics.
So despite all of the who insinuate the pals are stolen legally they're in the clear there. Even if some do look pretty heavily inspired by existing pokemon.

it is hard to sue over vibes and there's probably not much legal precedent in comparing vague similarities between 3d models, so it's easier to go with something tangible, like patents
>>
>>720808987
I think the worst part is that Palworld would have found success even if they had not went with some easily identifiable not-Pokemon designs that anyone can take a glance at and go "yeah, that looks a lot like something straight outta Pokemon". Not that it would have stopped Nintendo eventually suing them of course.

In soulslike fashion the lore's in written descriptions, journals and NPC dialogues to speculate over. There are some environmental elements too if you're paying attention.
Zoe's short questline tells you a bit about her, but there are still significant loose threads and it's more a vehicle to get her as a summon after the boss catching exploit was patched.
>>
>>720808987
so pokemon should have a total monopoly on cute monster collectors?
If the designs aren't close enough to be infringement then they aren't infringement. Having to find something else to attack the game with makes nintendo look like they want to push out anyone else from making any vaguely similar games. Reminder than this game isn't even the same genre as any pokemon game.

>>720802578
Because Japanese patent laws allow that bullshit. You can make amendments to older, existing patents, and those amendments become valid from the same day of the original one still. So what nintendo does often is to set very broad base patents beforehand that only need to be renewed once in a blue moon, and then add amendments which cover specific cases whenever they need it. It's a scumbag move, to say the least.
>>
>>720810496
The BR's bimbo mods might be right up your alley then
>>
>>720810936
Makes me wonder why exactly it was set up like that. Not that patent systems elsewhere are stellar examples of how it should be.
>>
>>720802786
If you want to go further why even throw the balls at all?
Just do it on a sort of "point and call" sort of summon, they simply can be called from the spheres without throwing them, so you basically have the same mechanic (Pal being summoned in a specific spot) without the clunk of tossing a ball for it.
>>
>>720809512
except no one else got sued, it is just palworld
they're not trying to establish a monopoly, they're trying to protect a brand image, the most valuable brand in the world
just so happens that palworld cut a lot of corners in the one area nintendo really cares about

truth is even with all this nonsense going on, in the end palworld likely helped pokemon more than it hurt, as it renewed interest in these type of creature games
>>
>>720811009
What I heard is that the system is meant only for clarification when the OG patent isn't well understood and not to patent a separate concept, which is retarded because it creates a loophole that allows companies to easily make targeted attacks like this.
>>
>>720811009
Patents exist only for (((people))) to create monopolies Anon.
If you make a patent for something, you'll get screwed over technicalities and nothing will come of it.
If they make a patent about blue cars and you make a red bike, you'll get sued for everything you're worth and then something extra.
Some morons will say "IT'S NOT A MONOPOLY BECAUSE NINTENDO IS JUST ATTACKING PALWORLD" and they are retarded: obviously Nintendo is not going attack IPs nobody gives a shit about to pretend they are benevolent and allow everyone to do whatever, however when something threatens their monopoly (even free fangames and emulation, mind you) they will go haywire.

May I remind you Nintendo used to copyright strike videos that reviewed their games: they are ontologically evil, much like all international corporations and businesses.

This. Tons of other games copied Pokemon's mechanics, some even more so than Palworld, and if anything, Nintendo suing the only company that made a creature collector successful enough to nip at their heels is a telltale sign that this is nothing but protecting their monopoly

The best part is that Pokémon has to borrow the Mystery Dungeon concept and name from Spike Chunsoft, so Nintendo wouldn't be able to lay claim to it for another lawsuit. SC could potentially sue them, but everyone would see through it as them being blatantly puppeted by Nintendo.

I think this is a case where the mod tools would just be the UE SDK since that's what the devs are using to make the game, which is what people are using to mod the game already anyways. I don't think they have any specialized tools they used to make the game, is my point.
You can even use Blueprint to mod the game.

Their holiday lineup doesn't look inspiring to push the system hard.
>Mario Kart World doesn't have must-play buzz or legs because they sacrificed the longevity of its online multiplayer in favor of chasing a singleplayer-focused rehash of BotW's world (seriously even the biome layout is identical besides the ice and lava regions being swapped) and forcing the bland same-y highway courses that resulted from it onto players quite hard
>DK Bananza has no legs, and they made this clear by putting out a demo two months after launch
>Mario Galaxy 1/2 are Wii ports and already run at 1080p60 on Switch 1, so there's no performance incentive to upgrade for it
>Metroid Prime 4 is the continuation of a series that hasn't had a new game in nearly 20 years and whose previous two entries still haven't been rereleased on Switch 1/2 to catch people up in the ample time they had to do so, plus it already runs at 60fps on Switch 1 so there's no strong performance incentive either
>Kirby's Air Riders is a spinoff and followup to a game that also came out two decades ago and barely sold a million copies (I'm not dissing the game and I respect that Sakurai is having fun making it, I'm just being realistic here)
>Age of Imprisonment is a spinoff focusing on characters people don't care about (the Mary Sue rabbits) and the Sages who were completely anonymous in TotK (the reason Age of Calamity was compelling is because we actually got to know the non-OC characters in BotW, here there's nothing to go off of to generate interest)... And this isn't even factoring in potential BotWverse Fatigue
It'll sell this holiday, but it won't be a "everyone is trampling each other and willing to buy 300% upcharged scalped units" rush. and this is to say nothing of how they also did a horrible job of establishing continuing momentum for the Switch 2 in 2026 with that abysmal Direct

Neither were removed and the mechanics that were altered can be mostly reversed with mods

Turn player damage dealt to 0.5 and pal damage dealt to 2 for a mostly-pals run
Then set player damage received to 2 and enable hardcore player and hardcore pals

Pal spheres haven't been removed and neither has mounts. Pals being deployed where you aim, and gliding via pals is what's been removed

>>720822849
It's not goalpost moving if it's true.
>>
>>720822862
mounts are removed if you can't glide with them and the pal spheres WERE removed

>>720822745
uncondensed pals with good moves do about the same as legendary guns as long as you are rotating them. the last 3 bosses are literally impossible to beat solo without pals unless you stack gobfins on standard settings

>do not even entertain the idea of making extensions to keep players engaged (game was basically built for it, could just have "newly discovered islands" every few years with new pals, items, towns, etc)

>>

no. Summoning via the pal spheres was removed. And ground/sea/flying mounts still exist just gliding (which most people don't even use) was the only thing that got removed

It's at a good spot right now imo, but for it to be considered GREAT they need to do a few things:
>Make a cohesive narrative or story that drives you to the towers.
We know theyre gang leaders, but what is OUR reason for stopping them? Did their gang shipwreck us or something? We need personal stakes.
>POV NPCs
Since we don't actually speak, there needs to be a vehicle for introducing lore of new areas. We have that with letters and nameless NPCs, but even better would be a single iconic character (maybe a cat-lady, or incognito Pal wearing a hood thats curious about civilization) that we meet at each important area and can interact with. Basically something to tie us to the world with a personal touch
>Add mystery to the story
We already have lots of cryptic mystery boxes like what happened with the ruins, why are previously kind pals becoming hostile, and there's the tree island no one can get to. They just need to have actual significant answers and tie it directly into the main story.
Sandboxes are good but having a "lived in" world will take it a step beyond. Hell once they get the bugs for everything major worked out I'd take a 3 month delay and bring in an expert just to make sure they have a satisfying lore filled story prepared.

I'm not necessarily hoping for any overarching plot but what I would like is to have settlements have their own stories. For an example of what I'm thinking of, bethesda games like oblivion where the main story is completely secondary to my enjoyment of the game. Obviously not going to be at that scale but still some things like seeing the local area of a town change through quests would be the best possible outcome for me.

>Make a cohesive narrative or story that drives you to the towers.
You're a castaway in an unfamiliar region, probably shipwrecked by some unseen assailant off coast.
The tablet you pick up at the beginning displays a message that draws your attention to the world tree and towers, which are guarded by hostile factions stationed everywhere. They also raid your camps.
The region has some element that makes it impossible to leave, and why that is can be deduced from later journals. The Castaway's describe the journey of someone in the same situation, possibly very long before you.

If we ever see the other castaway I think it'd be neat to use someone from early development like picrel, though it looks like the Unity build setting has been repurposed into a pre-Calamity world.

Last I checked there are plenty of mods that mess about with some single Pal one way or another, but I don't think there is any really huge mod that changes all of 'em. Maybe someone will bother to do one after 1.0 is out, I'm sort of interested in the Digimon asset-swap mods. Have you considered the porn mods just to slap some tits and asses on everything? And I do mean everything.

I'd rather get something like faction-based story and progression.
If you want to go full Ork time to strap all the dakka on all Pals, join the syndicate
Or if you want to maximize palphilia, join the free pal alliance
Or if you want to make Palworld turn into Judge Dredd by arressting and apprehending some creeps, join the cops
And so on, or say no to everyone and go anarchy mode following nobody but yourself

Yes to the current version being 0.6.5, no to the "rushing and skipping content".

Their update model thus far has been that every "major" update goes up by one digit. From release into EA, it went to 0.1.5 where most of the game-breaking and irritating bug issues like saved games getting nuked got fixed.
Then we jump to 0.2 that introduced raids which had quite a few updates where it stayed at 0.2.x and fixed the bugs that cropped up during raids and added some decorative stuff to the tech tree.
Then it went to 0.3, where Sakurajima was released. In between had a lot of improvements to base building jank, pal pathing jank, and general bug fixes. A few tech tree things were put in as well here, but not as many as 0.2.
Then there was 0.4 where Feybreak was introduced. Feybreak is their biggest expansion so far, and added so damned much to the game that the map had to be massively expanded to include the Feybreak Island
Then came 0.5 which brought crossplay. Not exactly the biggest update, but not exactly a pittance either for friends who wanted to play across platforms and such.
And now we're at 0.6 where Tides of Terraria came out, and most recently we're holding at 0.6.5, which the update history has shown to be the usual jumping-off point towards the next big update.

We know there will be a 0.8, and then the release to 1.0 *sometime* in 2026, so who knows what we will see for 0.7 and 0.9, but with that in mind, there is more than enough time from today, to the end of 2026 to achieve their milestone.

I don't know where the fuck you're getting this "they're rushing everything out the door" horseshit from, but it's obviously from somethings anal cavity. By now in the lawsuit, the only standing one amounts to a $70,000 fine even if the japanese court finds Pocketpair in the wrong and infringed. Pocketpair is sitting pretty right about now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, even with the new patents.

It could have some cool storybits as shit goes, hell have the final ending make you rewrite the law to be pure, equal and fair for the individual, with no room for corruption or failure.
Just off of Judge Dredd-isms you could do a whole fucking lot, from doing the usual shit about arresting baddies to purging the corrupt from the force to full Dredd/Robocop styled Seige fights as you break through loads of goons and pals.
Bonus points if you get character specific perks like police perk turns the game into Star wars: Republic Commando

i haven't actually played a single pokemon game besides unite past gen 5
i still like the pokemon, and the setting in general, but GF is so terrible at handling it that it's an eternal potentialman franchise, there's so much they could do yet do so little that i cannot be assed to care past some fanon stuff
palworld is actually a fun game, although its setting feels way more limited and less interesting overall, but pokemon had decades worth of games, spin-offs, mangas, anime, etc. to build that up

I'd rather have a fully finished game for it's modding possibilities than a perpetual rolling release clusterfuck of broken compatibility layers like current minecraft

keep in mind custom maps are pretty much baked in already in its current state so endless gameplay is guaranteed

They're not going to get shut down because they already removed the features in question until they win the lawsuit. Version no. indicates milestones not progress %. 0.6 doesn't necessarily mean 60% done.

Abusing and torturing Pals constantly is a meme, yeah there's a select few abusive things in the game but it's better to keep your Pals happy and well fed.
