Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.
At press time Pocket Pair says that should Nintendo’s legal team also get involved they have lawyers equal to Nintendo’s but with guns.
Lol
I am so tired of hearing about this game.
Everyone keeps asking me if I want to play or am going to play. Its like dood the game is like Rust. I fucking hate Rust.
Something just puts me off about it, I usually love indie monster collecting games, but I just get off vibes from this one.
I think maybe I played too much Ark to enjoy the survival angle, or the humour reminds me too much of the part of the 90s I’d like to forget
I’m just not into the type of content that game provides I think. I have been vibing and playing something called INFRA. You play a civil engineer who goes around taking pictures of safety violations while fixing things like water treatment plants along the way. Its done in the source engine so feels super comfy to play for me as its mostly urban exploration based.

What is this referencing?
1 hour into the five hour Palworld video, HBomberguy suddenly appears in a courtroom where he is explaining evidence of various financial crimes to a jury.
I feel like a hbomberguy video would be kind of redundant when the Palworld developers are pointing directly at the media conglomerate across the room and announcing at the top of their lungs “WE’RE COPYING THIS. WE ARE DIRECTLY RIPPING OFF POKEMON BUT EDGY. WE ARE MAKING POKEMON WITH GUNS. WISHLIST ON STEAM TODAY”.
Edit: That being said, if Palworld really did rip geometry from pokemon 3D models (and things are looking pretty bad on that front), they have a lot more to worry about than hbomberguy.
Everything I hear about this game doesn’t sound real
