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.

    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 wtf-am-i-reading

        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” costanza-maoist
