Palworld Is A Flawed Masterpiece

[Music] okay o wow pretty cool wait [Music] what he just killed a man is is that holding what what the hell what what the hell is going on why are they shooting people no are they oh my God I thought you said this was a Pokemon knockoff that's what I did they just murder everything okay where do we start we the years leading out to PO world's release were an absolute trip it seemed like every trailer we got the game introduced some new ridiculous thing you could do I like many of my friends thought this game was just going to be a joke at first but the more footage I saw the more it actually looked competent hey jerck here and my entire friends list is playing power world I can't even see another game on my Steam steam friends list it's all pow world and it's not just my friend group it's the entire internet pow world has sold 7 million copies in just 5 days that's ridiculous that has to be the most return on investment I've ever seen from a game it's breaking all kinds of steam concurrent playerbase records second all time only behind pubg's Max record so not only is this game selling but people are playing it and they're not stopping they're continuing to play the game except for one kind of person it seems that Twitter really hates this game because it's Twitter to be honest it's really irritating now to clarify there are genuine concerns about the developer pushing AI art and nfts both things I don't like at all nfts are incredibly dumb just in concept alone and they're legally questionable to say the least an AI art ruins the creative process literally steals art from artists and threatens many people's jobs along many different careers one problem power world didn't use any AI art in fact a lot of the programs that these devs support didn't even exist during vast majority of the development time of power world it's like a bad game of telephone one person says one thing they're a little concerned about how the AI art may be used because the developer is pushing it and then it spirals into this now suddenly if you buy poor on Twitter you're a morally horrible person on top of that if you hate po world because of the dev's involvement with AI art or nfts but you're okay with playing final fantasy Monster Hunter Digimon Persona shiman tensei then you don't actually care about this issue then there's part two of people screaming on the internet talking about how power world is just a soulless ripoff of Pokemon which is a red flag for saying you have not played the game it doesn't play anything like Pokemon it's more like an arc ripoff if you're going to say something like that this tired argument has existed forever across so many different genres and it's gotten so old first version Shooters used to just be called Doom clones at first it was an insult to of them and then it became endearing and now we call them first person shooters and it's one of the most diverse genres we have a more recent example is with platform Fighters if you don't know what a platform fighter is it's a quote unquote Super Smash Bros clone frear people still say that games like Rivals of either are just ripping off Smash and they're just soulless clones of Smash Bros despite the fact that they're innovating and doing new things that Nintendo will not I'm noticing a trend with that Nintendo thing 50 off of back ears the rrap is well the Hy wobbles into the down how do you get away with that and now we're seeing it with the monster Tamer genre which is what people have been calling Pokemon like games developers take tools from other games they take those tools they're inspired by their genre and they evolve them that's how this works playing power is a trip because it doesn't play anything like Pokemon it's something new and fresh as for the whole plagiarizing Pokémon designs I've heard so many people say that they would be down with playing power world if it had more original designs for the monsters and [ __ ] no you wouldn't you know how I know you won't because we have games like that already we have nexamon we have cassette Beast we have coromon you didn't play them despite the fact that they're great games because I quote they don't have Pokemon it's especially annoying in the case of nexamon because so many people call black and white the height of what Pokemon used to be and that Pokémon should just go back to black and white when Nexon Extinction is effectively an evolution of black and white but again they won't play it because it doesn't have Pokémon and these people yelling on Twitter and across the internet about these things are the vocal minority very much so the minority as you can tell from the sales numbers and concurrent players so I speak with everyone when I say please stop being this guy please shut the [ __ ] up this guy is really annoying let people enjoy their time and yes I understand the irony of saying all of this while standing in a Pokemon world but no one's made a pow world world yet it's just really godamn annoying you know what's not annoying today's sponsor into the am here I am being a dragon man on the internet not wearing clothes telling you to buy some clothes look they don't make them this big and they'd rip on my spikes anyway don't worry about it to break the fourth wall I do actually wear these clothes all the time and if you go to intotheam.com Dragon shirts you'll get 10% off sitewide like always and this does stack on top of deals but what does into the am offer you why should you even care well because their clothes are soft comfortable they stretch they look good I'm wearing them right now underneath what you can see I've gotten my friends to buy them with or without the link I do genuinely support these products I like them a lot they make graphic te is with a bunch of really nice designs they're constantly updating these and constantly getting in new shirts they make comfortable boxers you got to protect that junk if you need clothes it is on their website so again check out intotheam.com Dragon shirts and get 10% off sitewide also be sure to check out their best sellers to see what people are buying okay now that this is all out of the way let's actually talk about pow World instead of complaining about everything around pow World God po world is a trip to play you come into it expecting a Pokémon clone and then you don't get that at all let's start with the [Music] [Music] story [Music] there is none yeah this game kind of just throws you into the open world with a very limited tutorial and says go have fun which is a good thing because the way the saves work is pretty much just like ark or Minecraft every instance has its own save so if you're joining friends saves a lot you're restarting a lot and you don't want a 2hour long tutorial interrupting everything like every time you restart Pokémon I don't hate Pokémon for the record I think it is a very fun franchise I still play every single game but God the tutorials have gotten out of control I mean hell if I hated Pokémon I wouldn't be sitting in a sword and shield world right next to this thing corat badass by the way all this said I would highly encourage you to listen to the tutorial on the top right this is getting you into the game's flow what I was really surprised by with power world is that everything feeds into itself now that should be self-explanatory if you played a survival game but again there's a lot of thought that went into this game more so than the typical logic of wouldn't it be funny if we did this my base started like this and after 15 hours of play now looks like this oh my Lord oh that frame rate oh God Jesus but the first thing you'll craft is a workbench which is what you would expect the next thing you craft is a pow box this is basically your PC box like Pokémon except for it's in your base and you can make as many of them as you want wherever you want you'll craft something simple like a wooden beating stick or just use your fists and go beat the [ __ ] out of some poor monster this never got old smacking a round lamb and watching it roll all the way down the hill is video game comedy and it has no reason to be funny this is just stupid why am I laughing at this more importantly though when you kill these creatures you'll get meat you'll get leather you'll get a bunch of different m materials to craft with or you can use a pal sphere they could have come up with a better name than that and just catch it your pal can then be put at work at your Camp making more resources and materials this is the gameplay Loop you probably didn't expect you probably expected something more from get back here you probably expected the more traditional Pokemon Loop where you capture these and then you beat Gym Leaders or something but no you turn them into slaves and you build whatever you want you can pet them and feed them so it's okay in all reality you do have have to give them actual faculties if you want them to not immediately get upset at you and immediately get tired and get cranky you have to build beds you have to build them somewhere to eat you have to build a bunch of this stuff to keep them happy and to keep making you resources what actually is messed up is that in order to gain more resources you can Slaughter your own monsters now I refuse to do this my friend he might need to go to therapy I need to run this so you can leave so you can reset the server need I actually knew to do this you hold on oh my god well I need the leather what the huh just murdered a dog you murdering dogs I need the leather and yo I can't believe it I can't believe that fox is literally just [ __ ] qu me to pet it you're going to pet it before you murder it this is this is the wor you what is wrong with you you you are the worst I equ I equ the wrong item oh my god you're an evil person you're awful you want the how many of these do you have I didn't censor that myself that's just in the game as you can probably tell I've been experimenting with this channel a little bit I mean not really the format's the same but the presentation is now a dragon because jerk the game of dragon I wanted this to be this way for years but finding a modeler was pretty difficult at least one that would fit my vibe and art style largely you guys have seemed to enjoy it and for the new people that are popping in finding a dragon for the first time if you haven't subscribed consider subscribing I'm almost in 250k I'm trying to reach that Mark so go ahead and help me out and a big thanks to my YouTube members over here they get to see my videos early as soon as I'm down to the video I posted early for them to watch so consider that it's right next to the Subscribe button now with all of this said there is still a team building process to this game your monsters on your team are going to to help you fight and there is a type chart you do want to know this stuff it's an Unholy amalgamation of Arc other survival games Pokemon Legends archus a bunch of stuff and it feels totally new and fresh personally myself I don't care too much for the survival part I'm mostly playing it to explore see new things and capture new monsters but there's one thing I've always really wanted out of a Pokémon game I've always wanted a liveaction Pokémon game an action RPG if you will but without the RPG you know I don't even want the RPG I just want an action game give me something like Devil May Cry but for Pokemon that's a ridiculous sentence you know what I'm saying we saw that to an extent with Legends arus and then they removed a lot of the features like having to dodge Pokemon that want to kill you that didn't come back in scarlet and violet I loved that stuff but that's fully here in this game and you can fight back with or without your monsters and now you get guns yeah people jokingly said this is Pokemon with guns it's not really but I'm still going to roll with that because it's fun and again that really is what this game is all about wouldn't it be fun if you could do this there's so many things you'd never think to do that work in this game or so many little interactions that happen a dead pal is going to get eaten by another pal I think I have a bigger wingspan than hoo what was I talking about I lost my train of thought all right this is why I know this game is not just a soulless ripoff there's so many little details that wouldn't be here if it was just there to make a quick buck and the same can go for the designs like yes you can point out obvious designs that just kind of mash two Pokémon together like this zor oround Doom thing here I kind of don't care that's freaking sick but at the same time there's so many new unique monsters I've not seen anywhere that I love the designs of and one of the things you can craft is something that you effectively attach to whatever pal that is and it'll be something different depending on the pal for most of them it's for most of them it's get your freaking Wing out of my shot for most of them it's something simple like a saddle so you'll be able to ride them and I would highly encourage you to do this because you travel much faster this way yes there are fast travel points but you can't grab them from the map you have to go to those points to fast travel between them and just using something to travel faster is always good especially something that flies I got lucky and grabbed one that had the passive ability of Runner which makes you go 20% faster as you level up you'll also be able to put your points into whatever you want I put a lot of Mind into stamina and being able to carry more things stamina also applies to your pals as you're riding them so you definitely want to upgrade this but some of these Pals have something way more interesting than just being able to ride them for example you can upgrade your penguin and turn it into a rocket launcher or more accurately ammo for your rocket launcher that was the perfect time do this my God this is the kind of ridiculous stuff we saw in the trailer and it's every everywhere in this game and it's better for it I love the silly Ridiculousness of this game it just never gets old on top of that it has old-fashioned ragd doll of bodies flopping all over the place it's just fun it's silly video game fun and I've missed this in games lately as you can probably tell I really have been enjoying powerl much less for the survival crafting Parts I don't really care about those too much in fact one of my friends whole goals was just to do all the crafting for me I mean I did it don't get me wrong but it was a struggle to actually craft anything cuz he wanted to craft everything before I could even get to it and I do appreciate it because that part of the game is well you just do it so I can get to the more fun Parts at least for me the parts I really enjoy are just exploring throughout the world you will find mini bosses and even shinies the first shiny I found doesn't work like Pokémon in fact none of them do they're not shiny cuz they're a different color they're shiny cuz they literally Sparkle shiny they're bigger and they'll have a special ability they'll know different moves that they wouldn't usually learn the first one I found was a chicken with Draco meteor all right attack them chicken Jesus Christ you can also catch the mini bosses at designated areas and those respawn every hour or so they'll give you materials you can't find anywhere else and there's even more traditional bosses in these massive Towers this is the story part but it's not really a story now this game isn't Early Access for $30 but what's here for $30 is pretty ridiculous there's a lot I played for 15 hours this is all I found of the map after I finished making this video I'm definitely going to go back and play it some more now this video was not intended to be a breakdown of how pow World Works a real in-depth review it was more meant to just kind of be a ramble about what I enjoyed about the game and what I didn't like about the game and also kind of rant about just how the internet has responded to it and by the internet I mean the people that just loudly screaming online most people are too busy playing the game to be doing that at least at the time of making this video which is a week and a half before it actually gets posted the am's not been out that long as of right now me making the video You' probably already figured out most of the stuff by now you probably played the game quite a bit by now I played the game a lot more by now but I just really felt motivated to make a video about power world even though it probably won't get many views my channel focuses on first version Shooters and no one watching me really cares about Pokémon they'll probably not give this video the time of day but again I just wanted to make a video of power world I've been having fun with it so hey thank you guys for watching I stream this game if you want to follow me on Twitch you can find it right over there somewhere maybe it's over there don't remember which side you have things to click on if you really want to thanks again I'll see you next time
