nintendo did it to themselves, the one franchise they refused to innovate in
GameFreak makes the Pokémon games, not Nintendo.
are they owned by nintnedo? also makes sense cause in-house nintendo is always great
Nintendo owns a stake in the franchise, but doesn’t do the development
If you think Nintendo has no creative control over mainline Pokémon games, I have a bridge to sell you.
Can you elaborate on what you mean to say here?
I’m predicting we’ll see even crazier numbers once the work week is over
I personally think we’re close to the high water mark, might see 2.5m, maaaybe 3 but I’m skeptical. You’ve seen most of what the game has to offer after 10 hours, and the jank + lack of story is sure to cause lots of people to bounce off of it pretty quickly. I think given some time it’ll improve, but by then you won’t get these crazy peak concurrent numbers.
I’m not a fan of survival games. Is Palworld that fun? I may give it a try. It’s on Game pass anyway.
For anyone considering the game, there’s a relevant quote from the developer in one of their blog posts, that I think could help them decide whether it’s a game for them or not:
Although Pal World is a very interesting game, I would like to add one point: it is not at all suitable for players who prefer single-player games and want to enjoy the story, so please be aware of that. There’s almost no story, so those people won’t enjoy it. Fans of survival craft genres such as Minecraft and Valheim will enjoy this game.
