Very happy to see Palworld to be so successful.
The game ain't my cup of tea but I am really happy to see small studio get this much success and love from the gaming community.
It's pretty great
There’s no AI use in the game. It’s been in development for 4+ years (there was a trailer 3 years ago that showed a lot of the game) at least. Before AI was as wide spread as it is. Anything AI could have done, was already done before AI started gaining traction. Everyone is just mad at the fact that the CEO was excited for the future of AI. 2 years ago. On top of all of this, Diehard Pokémon fans are malding at another monster catcher game doing well.
I'll admit it and Idc if I get hate. I work a night shift job, 10-12 hour shifts. I game to relax and have fun. Palworld is fun. Idc about any rumors and allegations. I have the right to spend my own money how i see fit and I'll be damned if I spend 100$ on some pre order bullshit game that feels like a chore. Great vid!
I think more specific to this case, the reason why Pal World is doing so good is because the pokemon audience has a large adult fanbase(as well as an "adult" fanbase) that's been getting ignored to maintain the kids audience, hell even the furry fanbase gets more red meat thrown to it which is kind of fucked up when you think about it.
Then we have Pal World, where you're using guns to hunt and capture the Pals for food and labour. Its just respecting and making a product for the adults which have been largely ignored by the Pokemon series.
That's a great perspective honestly.
Baldurs gate was released to wide spread success and admiration.
Yeah I know. One of my favorite games of all time. I referenced them in this video I think.
Baldurs gate really isn't triple a. At least was like an in-between. Now they might be considered triple a
@themangastand8475 Idk they're still privately owned but they are like a household name amongst gamers now so I'd say they're aaa.
Bg3 was made by a small indie studio, did get a huge amount of money to make. They even had to pay in order to be able to use the IP... I guess that's triple A these days?
@@GamingDad What crack are you smoking? Larian Studios has 450 employees and has been around for almost 30 years. They are not 'a small indie studio' lol.
Yes, that is Triple A these days, though it's actually called AAA... by definition, even a 'mid sized company' is AAA. And it has nothing to do with things like being privately owned. AAA just means it's at least a mid sized company. In fact, by some standards, AAA is more defined by the games themselves. When a game is a 'blockbuster' it's considered a AAA game. Developers started being called 'AAA Studios' because they made these massively successful games.
the last one was Witcher 3, if that can be considered AAA. And pretty much all of the From Software games?
this video fully convinced me to buy this game hopefully i enjoy it as much as everyone else!
I love building, and i love capturing monsters. Its a win-win.
True lol
"Helpers"
Interns
When Devs love making their games and understands what the Market is asking for
To your question at the beginning: Baldur's Gate 3.
Yeah, feeling not so cleaver anymore, huh?
Not AAA. They are now considered AAA but at Baldurs Gate 3's release they were considered AA.
@GeneralRubicon
What is the difference? I genuinely would like to know.
@@1Dark.Paradise.Lost1 I found this definition. "Triple-A games are synonymous with high-end visuals, extensive marketing, and large development teams. In contrast, smaller studios typically develop indie games, focusing on creativity and innovation. Between these extremes lie AA games, which offer a balance of quality and manageable budgets."
ARK Survival Ascended versus Palworld.... yeah no competition when both games share near-identical, if not completely identical, genres and gameplay. For an Early Access title, Palworld had gotten better coverage/marketting, the game is far more accessible and functional, has a low level of needless environmental irritations, and so far has not been involved in shady/questionable behaviors.
WildCard Studios boasted about selling 600,000 units without ever showing how many may have been refunded only to pull a loan not too lng after ASA's release and that game's playercoount has diminished far more significantly and quicker than it's predecessor ARK: Survival Evolved. WildCard also couldn't be more of a polar opposite since they just don't communicate very much or very well at all.
This studio has been doing everything right so far and they communicate frequently and honestly on Twitter (X).Assuming they're charging the same amount for the game on XBOX as they are on Steam 1 unit = 26.99 USD x 4,000,000 units sold totals to around 109 million USD.
I cannot wait for the next quarterly earnings call so i can see just how insane the contrast and how badly WildCard screwed up.
@Sheeeshman69
How much storage did Ark take on your hard drive?
I can tell you why I like it: This game scratches an itch that Ark Survival Evovled usually scratched - survival crafting, creature taming, world exploration, base building. Love that stuff so, so much.
Plus I grew up with pokemon. Blue was my first pokemon game. I'm 35 now and I *yearn* for the pokemon games to be better, to run better, to not grab me by the hand all the time and never let go because duh yeah I know this is for kids but surely, Nintendo knows adults also play this. Let me skip things already, like in a real videogame from the 21st century.
Plus, the sheer chaotic energy of all the nonsense you can do in Palworld is giving me so much joy. See a human npc? Just capture them if you want to. It's funny but nonsensical.
It was on my wishlist since it was first announced
With Pokemon being the biggest franchise but also leaving a crater sized hole when it comes to intriguing games in recent years, it doesn't surprise me that tons of Pokemon fans are flocking to any Pokemon style game they can get their hands on.
well i hope as a indie game dev myself my game one day sell 10k or 20k copy XD Gotta grind XD
I first played palworld on gamepass than next day bought on steam. Nice game 8/10. There are things i dont like about it so far but it is early access so it can get lots better
Keep going man! I'm sort of trying to learn right game dev now. After I got out of the military I started night school going for a software development degree. Hopefully AI doesn't replace it lol.
@@GeneralRubicon Cool man ^^ Well eventually ai can probably replace everything. After all of automation development handmade stuff still sell tough
I’m definitely buying this game on steam when they add the steam workshop. This game is 🔥🔥🔥.
Clubbing? You're being nice lol
Another part to its success is the fact that game freak hasn’t put a good game in almost a decade besides legends but even that game looks like ps2 game
That depends on if you consider larian an AAA studio or not, haha
I would say they weren't when they released bg3 but they are now.
@@GeneralRubicon that's my take on the situation as well haha
Cause Xbox and pc players support if a game has great mechanics
genshin impact was successful, answering the first question of the video
Forgot about that
Did you forget about Tears Of The Kingdom?
Crap yes I did
I think everyone forgot about that mere weeks after it dropped
What do yall think of the Twitter AI debates surrounding this game?
It’s the future no matter what anyone says it will start with the indie and then Ubisoft you start also and everyone will hate it but will still buy it 😂
idc, if the game is fun, i'll play it regardless whether the game is fully ai or not.
@@infernoeagles5812exactly. Only twitter is angry about this.
@@randombleachfanso true.
@@GeneralRubicon yeah i dont pay attention to any of those looney bins there so many unhinge people in comments which is funny to read when your seriously super bored
Uhm, from the very start of your video... 'When is the last time that a AAA title has released in the past few years that has lead to widespread support and admiration'
... Baldur's Gate? I mean you went on to talk about it but, you do realized Larian Studios isn't an indie company right? They have 450 employees and have been around for almost 30 years.
Just because you're not indie doesn't mean your AAA.
Being around for 30 years doesn't make one not indie, they're not tied to a publisher which is exactly what indie stands for. This makes the indie(independent).
it wasnt 4 mill tho wasnt it over one below 2?
It's now over 5 mil
@@GeneralRubiconlol 6 now
@@thetrashcanman7537 numbers don't lie
This is a joke right? This game was made by people who have ripped off from other franchises before and this game is just a horrible amalgamation of current trends. It’s not special stop treating it as such
So you would rather have Game Freak continue to deliver us Alpha builds of video games for full price with no type of IT support/debug process? Please.
And stop with the weak “rip-off”arguments because by your logic that would make Pokemon a “rip off” of the Shin Megami Tensei.
Shin Megami Tensi release 1987
Pokemon release 1996
It’s a really fun game actually, it feels better to play than Pokémon. I think it’s about time for Pokémon to have some real competition so Game Freak actually tries to make a good game. No reason for the Pokémon games to look or feel as crappy as they do in this day and age. I’m playing on game pass right now, but I can assure you I will be buying Palworld before I buy Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. 😊
Cry me a river dude, you’re just upset this game doesn’t only look better, run’s better, but also plays better than your precious modern Pokemon games.
It's actually super fun man! Try it! Pokémon meets Tears Of The Kingdom meets Valheim meets Ark. It's really really fun.
@@GeneralRubiconwith the toxicity of Ark lmfao 😂
