This game looks kinda fun. Pokemon with guns!



Anybody gonna check it out?

Trying to download on Gamepass, but I think some Windows permissions settings I changed to get rid of some Windows folders that were triggering my OCD is causing an install error. As soon as I can get it sorted, I will be diving in.

EDIT: Fixed the issue. If anyone runs into similar problem, I found the solution here - Unable to install games anymore (Error Code 0x80073d0d) (SOLVED) - Microsoft Community

Didn't know it was on Game Pass. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on Steam.

Ok, got it up and running, first impression is very much this is ARK crossed with Pokemon.

I've never played Ark, is it fun?

It is fun if you like survival/crafting style games. In ARK you capture Dinosaurs and use them to battle/travel/gather resources/etc.

Played it for like 6 hours today. Really digging it.

Played it a few hours, got to level 15 or so, built up my base and collected several Pals.

During that time my base occasionally got raided by a group of monsters around my level, which I was able to deal with fairly easily. Then right as I was getting to call it a night, my base gets raided by 3 level 30 boss monsters, who kill me, all my Pals, and destroy half my base before leaving.

Might be a shelf moment for me.

Played 5 hours tonight on steam. Pretty fun game. Up to level 17 or so. Killed the first 2 mini bosses and 2 dungeons but not the tower trainer battle yet. That *****es knockoff electabuzz is mean. You definitely want ranged weapons and to work on dodging for him and let your pals do the attacks as you dance around the pillars.

Played it yesterday.

First game to suck me in like that in probably 10 years.

Use the earth Pals you find in the dungeons. Fiddura ? Fiddula ? something like that.

Seems susceptible to earth type damage.

I captured the big mammoth guys and they wiped the floor with her. Theres some lower lvl 31ish ones i found i was able to hammer down with 2-3 pals and spam my green balls until i capped them.

Purchased this today. It is a fun game; more so than I thought it would be. Definitely would be a lot of fun with a group of people.

Wow.... I downloaded this on Game Pass and lost four hours very quickly..

This game plays great on the steamdeck as well. I followed the recommended settings listed here:

Been playing on steam and absolutely am loving it so far.

Meh...can't/won't play until they fix the kaymapping support to make it playable for a left handed keyboard and mouse player. I hate when games don't support proper keymapping from the beginning.

Suck on THAT GameFreak

My buddy rented a server host so we could all play on it. About 9-10 of us. Super fun.

Hatched a Jormantide Ignus yesterday at level 25.

Dude is a beast.

Not sure if this fixed what you needed but they did something with keymapping the mouse

Patch Notes:

===

Major Fixes

Fixed an issue where the game would crash under certain conditions
Fixed an issue where if another player's pal/base pal had HP 30% or less, it could be captured by using a sphere.
Fixed an issue where enemy pals would get stuck in walls due to charge attacks.

Implemented the first fix for an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the guild's total number of pals captured reached around 7000.

*The game no longer crashes even if the total number of captured objects exceeds 7000.
However, save data that has already been in this state (in the case of a server, the server's world data) prior to this update will still be unable to load.
We are continuing to work on fixing this issue permanently.

Key Configuration
Added support for mouse side keys and numeric keypad in keyboard key configuration.
*Further improvements are currently planned, such as support for interact key configuration.

Player Issues
Fixed an issue where players on dedicated servers and co-op (online) were receiving damage twice.
Specifications have been changed so that you can move at extremely low speed even when you have exceeded the weight limit.
Players will no longer pass through walls when dismounting.
Fixed an issue where capture power strengthened by Lifmunk Effigies was reset when using memory reset drugs.
Fixed an issue where armor could be equipped in the wrong slot.
Adjusted camera positions of several Pals to make it easier to see when mounted.

Base Issues
Specifications have been changed so that Pals who are manually assigned to a breeding farm will not become hungry and their manual assignments will not be removed.
The key to lift Pals has been changed from F V (Pad: X Y) in order to prevent accidents.
Reduced the speed and range of fire spreading on wooden buildings.
Fixed an issue where manual work assignments could not be set at all under certain circumstances.
Fixed an issue where extremely high-level Relaxaurus would attack the base during raids.
Added several measures to prevent base Pals from getting stuck.
Fixed an issue where Pals would get stuck while transporting items and would drop them on the spot.
Fixed an issue where Pals at the base would continue to cut down trees that were already cut.
Fixed an issue where Pals at the base were on the verge of death due to unexplained falling damage.
Fixed an issue where Pals at the base would float under some conditions.
Fixed an issue where if a farm was built on the second floor or above, work pals would be unable to move on the floors below.

Other
Corrected incorrect text
Measures have been added to prevent cheating and stealing other players' Pals.
Many other minor fixes such as the addition of a UI key guide.

We will continue development placing top priority on fixing major problems and issues.
Thank you for your continued support of Palworld.

So multiplayer isn't existent yet on Xbox console without invite to a world. Will it be? Will that be a start over?

Palworld Sakurajima Update announced at Summer Game Fest. We can make a Texas base, we get OIL Rigs! Definitely looking forward to jumping back to try this update.

Just found this released on PlayStation last month. Always wanted to try it. It's been a lot of fun so far!

It was fun until I got stuck in a spot that had an invisible drop off without a way out. I could load backwards but I didn't want to do the same crap over and over again to get back to where I was.

I waited on an update week after week and it never came. I don't want to play what is basically a beta game that might get eliminated by lawsuits at any time.

Otherwise it was very fun

All the PAL's are super huge in size and ruins the whole game really.

That and there really is no strategy. Its just a collection-and-your-done game.

Resouces are a joke… you can leave your game/server running while you sleep and it auto does everything resource-wise.
