Reminder that redditlawyers were CONVINCED this shit would get sued 
!g*mers how soon did you drop Palworld after realizing it was so shitty? I think I played for four evenings before losing interest

...eh, I got time, might as well sperg out a bit...
I didn't get a chance to play Palworld back when it was the hip and trendy thing to do (ergo, late January-February), since I was pretty dang busy with studies n sports. But even if I wasn't, I didn't know how to play - I certainly didn't have an Xbox One/Series X, and I sure as heck wouldn't be able to run it on my aging laptop. I assumed it was going to be just another game I would have to sit out on...
...until I realized that I had access to Xbox Cloud (thanks to a Christmas gift from my parents), and after browsing for a bit, it turns out that I could indeed play Palworld (even if on-the-cloud)!
...and then after a few hours, I realized that I wasn't really getting much out of it. Well, more specifically, I realized that a lot of the things that I wanted to do (i.e. get weapons, build giant factories, have Pals serve as de facto slaves, carry out a legendary/mythical hunt, etc) was going to take a lot of time and grinding in order to get there. Basically, playing the game was going to require a lot of commitment, which is something I ultimately cannot guarantee for the busy irl schedule I have.
Even then, I suppose that the game as a whole suffers from trying to follow other trends found in already-popular games. It wants to be Pokemon x Minecraft x Fortnite x Monster Hunter x Breath of the Wild x Horizon, all at once! And as a result, it ends up becoming a thing that is barely above other sorts of open-world-slop. Of course, it has interesting things to make it stand out (weeb/furry appeal, satirical inversion of typical Pokemon shit, a pretty dang intricate battling/building system, etc)...but alas, the "Pokemon with guns" gimmick can only carry you so far...
...with that being said, even with my criticisms, I wish to remain fair, and I want to try and explore the game more (I'm still in the starting area lol). And I suppose that a lot of my problems lay in the fact that I am trying to play all of this bigass game on an iPhone (with an attached Backbone controller) - which is more than likely limiting the mileage I can get out of this thing. Therefore, I will try and see how things go when I stream the game via desktop - which won't be as easy as it seems, since this is an Xbox cloud service, so you have to use controllers instead of a keyboard & mouse (even if you are playing via desktop)...
This is unfortune because I will either have to:
A. Shell out money to buy a new/used Xbox One/Series X controller (because I only have an old wireless 360 controller than can't use Bluetooth)
B. Shell out money to buy a 360 controller adapter (for the aforementioned wireless controller)
C. Shell out money for a "Backbone+" subscription (I have to download their app so that I can use the plug-in controller, and apparently you can only use the phone as an external controller with the paid subscription)
D. Shell out money for a "Keyboard & Mouse for Xbox xCloud" chrome extension (which is, granted, a pretty fair deal, since they only ask for a one-time $4 payment
E. Hope that Microsoft rolls out native keyboard/mouse support for Palworld
F. Do some sort of weird tech shit to bypass all of the above
Money is tight with me, and I ultimately am not really prioritizing playing the haha funny pokemon with gun game at the moment...so this all shall remain TBD...

Really?
I heard a few months ago that Microsoft was rolling out native keyboard/mouse support for only a limited selection of games, of which Palword was not one of them, so I didn't really consider it to be helpful in this particular context (it's much welcome for those other games lol)...
...if that is the case, then zamn, my problem's solved! Maybe...it's still in beta, so I would have to test it out later...

Some people are able to display their intelligence by going on at length on a subject and never actually saying anything. This ability is most common in trades such as politics, public relations, and law. You have impressed me by being able to best them all, while still coming off as an absolute idiot.
