dont let the contents of this video distract you from the fact that htwo is secretly a werewolf furry

at one point everybody will just lay fake negative reviews on games to appear in Htwo's videos

I generally agree with the video, but I think some of the anger is based on biases which can mislead people. 1. It's "F" to interact in a lot of games. I agree that "E" is used more often, but "F" is not something out of the world. It's just a matter of habits. I want to point out though that still most of them let you REBIND it, if you aren't comfortable. Not in Palword though 2. There is nothing bad with taking mechanics (especially if beloved and critically aclaimed) from other games. By itself, there's no problem in it 'taking mechanics' from Ark, Valheim and Pokemon; especially with that "Breath of the Wild climbing" sentiment you reminded me of Genshin's early discussions... and they were quite debunked, though still controversial. I don't think anyone would be that angry if they were just executed well. 3. Calling asset reusal of THEIR OWN old game the 'asset flip' is a stretch. The more concerning part is that they launched their game, made it early access, didn't finish it and relaunched it again under a different name and now there is no updates or fixes for a long time, which makes it pretty much a rug pull.

I had heard of this game years in advance

please explain my monkey brain how is dark souls s dodge roll different from any other fking dodge roll out there?

"had no hype before release" and "came truly out of nowhere" are crazy, there's videos of popular youtubers reacting to trailers two years ago genuinely seeming very interested for its release

Normally I like your videos but this one just felt like a mindless angry rant. You listed a bunch complaints that could have easily been solved if you'd done a simple google search : 1: Lots of other games like Resident Evil 7 have used an F key to interact even if most others use E. This becomes even more mute of a point when you can literally rebind the keys in the options menu. 2: The long timers and grind can all be adjusted within the world settings. Me and my friend don't want to wait hundreds of hours for eggs to hatch so we turned the timer off. We also increased the xp so it would be less grindy, increased the drop rate of materials and made a bunch of other small things to make it more our speed. The game gives you these tools to make you're experience fully adjustable because different players like different things. 3: Yes many game mechanics in palworld are taken from other games but it's the way they were used together that makes the game feel fresh and new. Show me another game that lets me fly around on a dragon shooting an assault rifle at invaders whilst my friend I'm playing with forces cute monsters to create hundreds of ice grenades to fight the next boss? No other game outside of perhaps Garry's mod with a bunch of addons could let me do that. On top of that it's not like you can copyright a mechanic. In the 90s fps were originally called doom clones but that didn't make titles like Duke Nukem 3d, Blood and many others from becoming classics. 4: Yes the game is buggy but it hasn't been months. It's been a single month since the game launched and the title is still in early access. Early Access is meant to be for games that are playable and enjoyable but still have aspects unfinished like models that will be replaced or bugs that can be fixed. You can complain about the bugs as it's valid but in a brand new early access game there are always going to be problems which the developer needs to fix. 5: Whilst I haven't played crafttopia myself I can tell palworld isn't a direct clone because it visually looks very different and mechanics have been adjusted again to make it more of it's own thing. I will however give you that they should have finished developing it before starting on Palworld. That is unfair on those players who bought it.

I feel like without the rose-tinted glasses that most people have for the older pokemon games (the first and only Pokemon game I've ever completed is Moon), I saw a lot of these flaws immediately. Nothing felt really original, which as you said isn't a bad thing, but nothing felt like their own or just... good either. And whether the Pals were ripped from actual pokemon as the early controversy was about didn't matter to me because the inherent game just felt very soulless, relying on "hey look, it's that mechanic from that franchise you like!" and a lot of admittedly funny dark humor in the premise of the game to even interest me.

Not spending money on making the game better for months is a lie and considering It has literally only been out for only 1 month as of the 19th and the fact that there has been 2 updates already and the devs said there are a lot more coming and they are working on it... so that means they are spending the money. Also the fact that a majority of the complaints about the game is about bugs that will be updated out of the game before full release considering its only 1 month into early access shows thats its a great game.

I about died laughing at the "asset flip" point, because Craftopia and Palworld aren't even made in the same ENGINE. Craftopia is in Unity, but during the development of Palworld they realized Unity couldn't handle what they wanted to do so they switched to Unreal. Also, not only are there custom settings for a world you can set to change both the timer length of eggs and the exp rate (and way more), but there are also customizable controls and the game's controller-friendly, so if you're complaining about controls then there's 2 ways to fix it. And finally, the game hasn't even been out for months, and the devs have done a TON of bugfixes in this time and come out and said what they're working on in terms of cheaters, as well as come out with a roadmap of what they're planning on adding (which includes pvp btw, so the timers being long is valid). These devs are working hard to provide a great, fun, stable game, and I think we should give them a chance.

Ah, a young gamer discovering F for use xD We had it in the old games because Q and E were mapped to leaning left and right. Some titles even had Enter as a use key. Those were the wild times Nice video, btw. Good to know the history and details of the game since I am not planning to play it. Not a fan of Pokemon and its style in general. Cartoons were kinda neat though.

some complaints about bugs annoy me a bit because EARLY ACCESS GAME. granted, EA is not a perfect shield against any critisism of flaws, but it should allow some leniancy with messy stuff (like the timers and all) , because it isn't a final product. granted save file corruption, if it is indeed as common as implied, should definitly be patched ASAP, and is not excusable edit: should have left the video running because Htwo calls the same thing out

Who would think a early access game would be buggy

"the game have been out for months snd they didn't fix the bugs" -game came out a month ago

the opps are taking my bitrate

interact is F in a lot of games, particularly games made in the mid to early 2010s

htwo just rewatched the tf2 all wierd movement tech video and i woul like to ask for the "1 hour wallbug clip video" u said u could make. thx :)

I definitely agree with a lot of this, I played the game for a bit and had a lot of fun, but it got old kinda quick. Also love that your outro music is from ROR2, love that game to death

Love how you complain about the controls, when you could just go into the settings a little put it to how you like.

I think another reason for it's success is that the game is 29.99 and..well...I kinda disagree with it not being fun. To be fair, many issues are server side, and that's prolly cuz the devs didn't expect such a massive influx of players in their limited capacity servers. It'd be more apt to call Palworld an indie game. Also, fixing issues and bugs still takes time. it's barely been 2 months since the game's release back in January. The bugs aren't great tho, they are intensified in servers. I never really encountered most of these in single player. Then again, that's probably just my experience. edit: It's barely been a month since the game's release, and it's a small team...so yeah. It doesn't excuse a lot. Plus there was hype, I had a teacher in high school hyping this game. I hyped the game. It looked awesome. I still think its awesome. Also, there's a mod to remove crafting times, and you can have your own private server. And even without mods, you can get rid of egg timers by just adjusting the setting in the world config. People are actively choosing to make the egg timers so long Anyways, in the end its just a game that got big unexpectedly to some, and of course, like any big game, there will be controversy.

Well actually climbing was added to real life as a reference to breath of the wild

Cassete Beasts is the game that deserves this level of success. That game actually feels like an improved Pokémon game.

The one thing i don't understand is why they didn't just keep the art style of Craftopia. I think it fits much better with the cartoony creatures.

i imagine most people that play "hard mode" play on either their own server or some friends server, why not just reduce the egg timer it's only a few clicks to do so

oooor... use a bindable controler instead of being a masochist and get palls to do your work for you...

I’d actually love to read the negative reviews about this specific game to see how people feel about it and see how much I agree >:)

I don’t know why pc games can’t keep the interaction button as one button it’s always either F or E and we always have a stroke trying to remember. I just wish they had a option in the game to swap the button from F to E and vice versa

I love watching your videos ever since i found you by the uncletopia video

can u do a reading geometry dashes negative reviews so u dont have to

I still hear "jump_hanami" whenever I hear your voice :D

i mean we all now the bigest flaw there isnt any *** in valheim with pokemons

Ok i don't wanna be that guy or promote hate but Early Access is a program where game developers can release early builds of their titles for the public to purchase. These aren't demos or simple pre-orders, they're unfinished, unpolished, and sometimes buggy alpha and beta versions of a game that's still a work in progress.

you do have some fair points but here is a thought, maybe people play the game because its... fun, I'm not at all a Pokémon fan and yet i really enjoyed the time i played it. Personally i didn't experience almost any game breaking bugs.

i know this is a little bit of an old video, but you got me thinking- personally i think its okay if a game takes a bunch of mechanics from existing sources if it combines them in a way that creates a unique experience. i think the pals and "volunteer" labor system really sets it apart from any of the games it aped off of, gameplay wise.

I think H^2 just doesn’t like survival games if he doesn’t like Valheim ngl lol

You should do a negative reviews video for outer wilds

I'm from the future - the save bug is STILL in the game

1:41 the beast grows stronger

Well, the game is in EA - meaning it is an unfinished products so maybe in a year or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.

also it is a game that people enjoy, did you just never look at steam, 94% of the 222,000 reviews are positive.

This game is like the last game they made and thats why its souless is funny as hell 😂 how do people like this exist, talking about soul of a game. The only thing that matters is it just fun or not, ive never played any of the other games he mentioned that are "good" in his eye and said, mmmmm i feel the soul in this game

honestly i think another reason palworld was so popular was just because it was on more systems, especially steam. pokemon being switch/nintendo exclusive kinda stinks, and while i understand why, i just wish i could play them on other systems just so i don't have to fork out $300 for a new system and games to go with it. i know emulation exists, but nintendo is so hand and fist against it for some reason, and it doesn't really feel the same as owning the game. i never really got suckered into palworld since it looked so bland at a first glance, but this does really make me wish for a really good pokemon like game for steam, or just pokemon at all.

Intro to palworld spawn area is copy of Elden ring, I saw video that compares them and I am utter shock how similar!

the thing i love about palworld is that its taking genres from different games and puts it into 1 game that combines all of them something no other company dares to try

why did you said months it is aout in just 1 month?

Huh. I love Valheim and Palworld, just waiting for more content to be added to both. Guess I'll click off now lol

£20 i'm never getting back

Dude… Can you at least TRY to research a topic before making an argument?

you sound like the people you make fun of in your other vids

Warzone did the same thing. It got to watch battle royals come out and cheery pick the best things from each game to merge in their own. I was a big ark fan and never got into pokemon and palworld i've been able to continuously enjoy in solo world playing, to each their own tho. There is no denying they didnt steal things lol

You should read negative reviews for Undertale

although I can see where some people come from, in my opinion some of the things you bring up are what make the game fun for me. 1. The bugs, I know I know, they can be annoying. but during my time on single player, I have had no game breaking bugs that made the game worse. just some kind of funny ones. one of the only game breaking bugs I know of, (the tower boss catching) just makes the game better. 2. The grindyness. I hate it, but it can be taken away by just either playing the game to get better pals to reduce crafting time. (ahem Anubis) or by changing the difficulty setting to what you want the game to feel like. if you don't like the level times or resource amounts, BOOST IT. 3. The "ripping off". personally for most of the games you brought up, they are done well, in some cases better than the original. with the creature catching and combat, pal world does it better than even Arceus, which in my opinion does the whole "Pokemon" thing best. and I don't think its even wrong to steal the ideas, especially if they are very popular, and use them together to create a game with fun gameplay. the CEO of pocket pair even said that he wanted to take loved ideas and uses them to make the best game possible. 4. Palworld is made in a different engine than Craftopia, (unreal instead of unity), and is more polished, also ITS FINE TO REUSE THEIR OWN ASSETS. (and the unity assets stores) 5. I'm pretty sure you can rebind the use key. 6. the games not soulless, the attention to detail is amazing, specifically in the animation of the pals. Sorry for the yap ALSO ITS EARLY ACCESS GIVE THEM A BREAK edit: i get the worry that it might not get updated, but they seem to really care about the game edit2: they are working to fix the cheating, and on the 7th a patch came out with one fix saying: Fixed an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the total number of Pals captured by the guild reached approximately 7000.

I love slavemon

No way... The *early access* game, made by a *small indie team* , with only a *month* since release that has *bugs* that need to be fixed has BUGS?!?!?! *wHO WoUlD'vE hAd tHOugGhT???*

Actually i want to correct something. While the game wasnt per say elden ring levels of hype. There was alot of anticipation for it when it released its first trailer.

honestly the F key thing makes me extremly angry as well

this video is just man complaining about early access game because it's early access

It’s kinda funny tho how they fixed a lot of the bugs before modern shitfair 3 could that is crazy how do you have like idk how much but it is way over motherfucking 100 and still not fix your shit game

i love valheim. i have 140 hours in the game. it was my life for weeks. (:

I mean hey, I did kinda like Legends of Arceus. Not as good as Pokemon: Infinite Fusion but it was fun for me.

I DONT SEE THE PROBLEMS xd i hade 0 bugs

I like your profile picture The answer is H cubed btw

This video aged like milk and its only been 4 days. They just droped the third update today and its only been 1 month and 1 week since the early access came out. You should prob delete this video 😂

more like Ark survival with pokemon.

i mean i get it, but at least its better than call of duty modern warfare III black ops 7 zombies

4:48 "bugs completely unresolved for months now" the game came out January 19 2024 its February 23 20204 its been barely a month 6:13 i get you point about coping other games but darksouls dodge rolls? ok now you are stretching to make a point games dont own mechanics and a lot of games are just what if 2 things together like good vid as always but this time i cant agree with you

tbh, palworld’s controversies are stupid. The worst part of it is the fact that it sucks

I will say, I respect it for how popular it got and my friends actually gave it good reviews. I can't get over how some of the pal designs are literally just Pokemon but different color. I'm not sure which one it is but it's a pal that's literally just Cinderace but green.

imagine taking an old game, add cool shaders and replace models, and call it a new game

hot

My theory on why walporld is so popular is that because popular youtubers made a video on it, it got popular. Just like with everything else thats popular.

i got 86 hours in this game pretty fun i do NOT LIKE HTWO anymore

Balls

palworld has the pokemon legends arcues dodges

More modern games tend to use f not e for interact. It's usually games with older roots which use e

Perhaps the biggest problem with this game is they literally stole NOTHING from Rain World.

14 seconds into this video currently i bet at least a quarter of the negative reviews are going to be "pokemon with guns" or a variation wish me luck edit: well that didnt age well

Eh, I like it

I don't think god has any money

Wait, people has problem with grind? I just let the pals do everything, specially after the recent att. I just let them in the base while I go on a adverture to kill everything. BTW, this one is a very biased video. And come on, the complain about the F key is just childish lmao

Personally, I haven't played myself, but people hate Palworld for some stupid reasons. 1. It literally came out about 1 month ago of course it's going to be laggy; HECK a game worked on for 10 years was so laggy it had to be taken down. 2. It's not a rip off of games because of their mechanics or style Pokémon isn't the only game that can have tamable fighting creatures that may or may not be put into elements/types. 3. Hackers usually find a way to hack games no matter what blockages creators put in it. 4 Keybinds aren't the same for every game and F is also a common toggle button. THERE'S ALSO A KEYBING SETTING IN MOST GAMES TO CHANGE THEM UP. 5. Chill out about the grinding, ALMOST EVERY GAME HAS IT this one just be longer than expected I'm not saying that everyone should love the game, and I understand that they may just genuinely dislike it. You can still dislike the game, but just don't be so biased about it.

the part in the end is my big realisation from palworld's hype: pokemon fans (the ones that don't eat up anything gamefreak shits out like it's from god himself, anyway) have been wanting some breath of fresh air for ages. *some* change. the battle system, the exploration gameplay, the majority of the story beat and game structure have been the same ever since the first editions. sure, the games look like gamecube games rather than gameboy games now, but at the end of the day you're still doing the same old things. the fact that the last few entries have pretty blatantly been cheaply thrown together, are butt ugly* and have loads of bugs doesn't make that any better. and *because* this lack of improvement has gone on for so long, even something as soulless, low-effort, bugged and garbage as palworld scratches that itch enough to generate the hype it did. because pokemon is that stuck. and i don't think the solution is "make palworld but with pokemon". it's "make pokemon, but different in some way". again, the core mechanics are still the same as in the first entries in the series. look how other JRPGs, say final fantasy, have evolved over time - different combat systems, MMO elements (that actually work and don't have a 7 second latency :D), different perspectives and all. hell, maybe do make it a survival game. just give me something new, an actual adventure**, an experience that i haven't had with every pokemon game i played so far. side notes that aren't relevant to my point, but that i still wanna rant about: *which for the record isn't because "the switch can barely run them" but because the devs don't get nearly enough time to polish it to be able to run on the switch. BotW looks so much better and also runs on the switch. don't blame the hardware, blame the management setting way too tight deadlines and budgets. **ideally also without the god awful pacing pokemon games tend to have. i don't want to have to spend several hours before i see multiple pokemon other than "starter", "local bird", "local bird from other region", "local worm", "local worm from other region", "not zubat again", "not geodude again" or magikarp, and i don't want to have to have collected several fucking badges before getting to a location more interesting than "city", "grassland", "forest" or "cave" (or "beach" if the developers feel daring this time). why do i have to sink so much of my time into the game before i see any pokemon that aren't just the most boring animals they could think of, and to see any cool places? i'm currently replaying alpha sapphire and getting past badge 3 became such a breath of fresh air because i finally got to see an even mildly interesting location. why can't i already be exploring volcanoes, icy mountains, ashpits, the seas, a desert tower or any other cool stuff before sinking >10 hours into this game?

I agree with this, pal world is horrible, also you should read Ellen ring reviews

Most of the time I’m reading the reviews of a game that I actually like. Please don’t tell me you liked Overwatch 2..

I wished for it muahahah

10:13 lmaaaooo

The game has only been out for ONE MONTH and you claim these issues have gone unresolved for months? Now i know you're just a typical hater who can't stand when their favorite multi-billion dollar corporation finally has some competition.

Everytime I visit my Dad's house on the weekends he's playing this game (or DayZ) and from what I've asked him about why he likes it is that he just likes survival games. He's always been a big Pokemon fan, but he's never owned a Nintendo system to play any of the games, only just watched the anime and such. I think it's like you said but even more general, some people just want a Survival Pokemon game that's marketed on most systems. There's a market for Pokemon on non-Nintendo systems and Palworld is eating that market for breakfast.

Did you just accuse the game of leaving bugs in for months when its only been out for ONE? Did yo. Even TRY to enjoy it? Or did you come in WANTING to bash it? A lot of your complaints could have been fixed in the settings

0. No, its not a direct copy, because then Coral island is a direct copy of stardew, actually many farm cozy games are blatant plagiarizing copies. Genshin is a blatant plagiarism rip off of legend of zelda sweetie. MY POINT: The reason the game is so successful is because the devs were clever and are allowed to, and used genres that are popular amd combined them. This is how design works, this is how games work. 1. Mad about something means you liked or are excited about something... So maybe say angry or put off. 2. Motion blur off actually works so many peoples reviews are inaccurate which is hilarious shows how much they acdtually played the game or understood that some issues are on their side. 3. F is actually also interact. If you play more multiple games, just saying. But fair enough they need to fix assigned keys. 4. I wonder how long you have played and whether or not you have caught everything and completed the entire world as much as there is. 5. ALSO not valheim, its Genshin/Legend of Zelda, ARK, Pokemon 6. The bugs arent that bad, its more like rng, you get them or you dont 7. The game is EARLY ACCESS.... Baldurs Gate 3 was early access, the day of release every cut scene youd wait 30 min maybe more max then realize its frozen and you need to restart the game, and worse bugs, but that is early access... IF YOU DONT LIKE BUYGS or ASSIGNED KEY features missing... DONT play early access. I mean really? 8. If youre worried about losing your account on dedicated servers because again, early access, just play on your own game then invite friends to join. No issues there ever. 9. Early Access... All early access have bugs 'n issues 10. "You think theyd spend their money on fixing these issues and stuff" They did. They are, They still are. Read the steam patches, they are actively improving the game. 11. Current update is to fix the hacking issue. 12. Stop spreading false information about the devs and the games progression and improvement. 13. Hackers shouldnt be new, they are everywhere in many games even in competitive games like valorant or League ....You're welcome

You should do a video reading the negative reviews on Geometry Dash, especially with its long awaited(7 years) 2.2 update.

Every one of these complaints completely undermines one fact: Palworld is a shitpost developed by 3 people who made this game on limited resources in their free time. The game's identity comes from it spoofing Pokémon and implementing mechanics from other games, almost as if it is a love letter to those other titles. The game even goes further beyond with this as it goes absurdly dark at times that you can't help but laugh. And in response to you handwaving that Palworld should have made their mechanics unique orbelse it's a copy, well what about the FPS mechanics in Battlefield, TF2, CoD, DOOM and Halo? Are they copying each other on that front? And how are you meant to make a dodge mechanic not similar to Dark Souls? No game owns its mechanics and it's better to do what you know works instead of fumbling it trying to innovate when it's not needed. Next the bugs, the size of the studio means they don't have the manpower to fix the bugs or make QoL changes quickly. GameFreak can't use this excuse because Pokémon's a multimedia conglomerate owned by Nintendo, all the bugs and boredom in Gen 9 are a result of laziness. Plus it seems the devs are focused on adding more content to the game, which I would argue the game need far more desperately. Obviously they should fix the bugs, but don't say that there's no excuse because "game's made many monies!" Finally, asset flipping... how do you asset flip your own resources? As far as I know, every asset used in Palworld and Craftopia are made by PocketPair, so how is it a problem when they take their own assets from one of their games and reuse them for another? I'd be a waste of resources otherwise.

I didn't realise it was a straight asset flip. I knew the game took a lot from other games, but it looked fun and I had a good time qith it qhen i did get it. But there was always a feeling that something just felt off about it, that explains it. Kinda dissapointing, but guess that's a lesson to be more careful in the future.

I like how palworld has no identity, I think it's fine for some games to be just a sandbox. Not every game has to be deep rock or monster hunter. I didn't have any bugs in my game but I know other had so I can't say much about that but I think palworld is fine how it is. It's just a sandbox with creature mechanic and that how I like it. I think it's a lot better then Pokemon since it does not have a silly story and old game design.

real

Well the game was never to be something new to begin with. They devs has already said that they don't want it to be something new and creative, and that they like to reuse good game mechanics in their game. You seem to be angry on every single bug by sound of it, I'm no game developer but I have heard from many of them that it's not easy creating a game.

Can you do Sea of Thieves negative reviews

thought i was the only one who just dislikes the game.... hates the game...

and come on, you can t tell me ONE thing out there that doesn t look like a pokemon... and let me remind you there s a pokemon that looks like anything. even one that looks like trash...

_"They'd make more money than god"_ -Htwo
