Riff Machine 2,105 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'm curious about this one. I was never a fan of the Pokemon series, but I've watched some streamers play this, and Sarah has shown an interest in it. Maybe I'll give it a go. Maybe? Hmm....

Spacedeck 915 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This game is amazing! Currently has the highest concurrent players at 1,221,744! What this has achieved so far is mind boggling. I still play Pokémon on Switch but for PC other games fell short. TemTem became a grind fest.

Luseth 1,869 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I paid for game pass for the month to give it a try and it is really good fun, it might give the pokemon dev's a bit of a kick up the backside, that said I can see the blatant rip off's of the pokemon monsters which is really poor in my eyes. It can't be that difficult to come up with new one's surely? Riff Machine and IRaMPaGe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be that difficult to come up with new one's surely? I think at this stage, Pokémon characters are heavily influenced in all monster hunter games. This game is something though, I'm trying not to burn myself out early on, so only play in stages for a bit at a time when I'm not grinding Monster Hunter World. If you're a Pokémon fan, this is definitely worth picking up, still enough content for Early Access. GP version is slightly different to Steam too. That is a couple of updates behind currently and there's no dedicated servers. On Steam you can have servers that support up to 32 players, on GP it's 4 player invite only. Also they pretty much brought GP version straight over from Xbox, as I couldn't even find an exit game button when I tried.

J4MES OX4D 9,990 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 The player count currently stands at 1,333,559 - bear in mind that this is a normal Monday morning in most of Europe and America is still very much still in bed. Absolutely insane figures really. Nobody had heard of this game last week! Riff Machine and IRaMPaGe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope the devs work on this title, hire a more professional team or whatever, and make this something to really last the long run. Im surprised the player count has stayed this high though, I thought it'd have already peaked after a few days.

I think more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon as the game gets more exposed. Hard to tell when it'll finally peak as there's still a lot of people interested in it who may not have the funds to buy it right now or may jump in on the weekend. I'm more surprised at how many players jumped in on the first couple of days with the game seemingly going under the radar. The likes of Among Us and Lethal Company really took a while to get going but this is flying right off the bat! Riff Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelchyTV 395 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I think the word spreading that this game is effectively Pokemon but with guns has spread like wildfire and everyone wants to see what the fuss is about! It’s also launching at a reasonable price and of course game pass helps. I haven’t picked it up yet but I’m sure I will at some point. My love of Pokemon has definitely fallen in recent years, but with every release I always hope the magic will be back. Maybe Palworld is the answer!

Ironically, if you look at the original pokemon and compare them to the monsters in early dragon quest games you will see that this is just the same arguement again. For that reason alone I kind of hope it costs them millions in court only to lose anyway. I grew up loving the pokemon series and do still enjoy it but as far as business practice goes they have not innovated until recent years, they have churned out the same game disguised under different artwork for years and years and made a fortune from it, they needed a kick up the arse ^_^ Riff Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have a leg to stand on but they will certainly use IP violating mods as an excuse to target the game and many have been taken down already. In terms of the core concept, I'm not sure if Pokemon can protect itself that much. Most of it is probably down to the usual Nintendo salt on top of the fact Pokemon has been hot garbage for many years now. A game upstaging it overnight and being immensely popular was never going to go down well with them. Riff Machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,268 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hilarious game, 2nd highest peak player base in Steam history, edging our CS:GO and just shows how, despite my love for Pokemon, Gamefreak could do so much more. The game is more Ark than Pokemon, and just a lot of fun.
