Like a second of new gameplay in here, Indy hanging from a chandelier, Lol.

That is what How Long To Beat has the average main + side playtime at:

Eh, I've not heard great things about it. No party member control, meh side quests, story compared to Game of Thrones (not what I want out of a JP game story wise). I'll still play it at some point, but certainly not at anywhere near full price. FF7R I will likely buy at a higher price, though they better not pull some $70 BS on Xbox fans after making us wait 4 years to play it. Ideally Xbox will put it on Gamepass, but I'm not going to hold my breath there. 

Looks like Palworld peaked at 855k CCU, I'm not sure if it will increase anymore today.

So close to 1m

Lol, gotta love Asmon ripping into idiot gaming writers. The best part is that you know these hate articles will have the opposite effect and drive more people to play the game, we saw it when they tried to cancel Hogwart's Legacy last year. 

There's A LOT of very angry Pokemon fans, Lol.

I'm pretty sure if The Pokemon Company had a case, they would sue them already, but we shall see, a lot of the designs are suspicious but I don't think they'd be grounds for a lawsuit, I'd love a lawyer to comment on this, but I feel like a court would just rule it in the grounds of inspiration or protected under parody rather than straight up copyright violation, Lol.

There's clearly a lot of Pokemon "influence" but they also appear changed enough to avoid any legal complications. A lot of Pokemon fans demanding TPC sue the studio or wishing it happens, Lol. Not sure they'll get their wish, but it's generating a lot of anger amongst certain circles so I think it will grow overtime. Seriously doubt Microsoft heavily advertises it anytime soon, Lmao.

The comments about animal cruelty are dumb.

Omg its Nessa from Sword/Shield lmao

i think everyone has the right to be mad at palworld & dog on it purely for the white nessa knockoff. it’s like a punch in the gut every time i see it pic.twitter.com/9dCvXimlnA

What Nintendo and Pokemon Company should do is see it as a wake-up call. There is alot of wasted potential within the Pokemon franchise, nearly every Pokemon game they release is overly safe and paint by the numbers, and they still treat the series as if though it is a handheld series even though Switch is both handheld and home console. They could deliver a AAA pokemon game that blows both Palworld and their own earlier games away, with a huge open world, crafting, voice acting, higher end graphics, detailed pokemon attack animations, and more, but instead they keep playing it safe and making lower budget handheld game offerings even though Pokemon's strong sales more than justify a much higher budget going back into development. 

That last line is why they won't, Lmao.

Game sells tens of millions without them having to change anything or improve on anything.

You kill virtual innocent humans in GTA but ohh no this cruelty against Pokemon WTF
