This isn't directed at you. But at the people in the industry who think it matters.

I mean, it's a Souls game. They try to package it as "open world", when the others already had a damn fast travel system and a character creator. When it comes to George "incest porn with a story" Martin, It'll be another "Executive Produced by Jay-Z" moment. he probably wrote some lore for the collectibles. It's a bullet point for the journo club to circle jerk on it. With maybe incest and/or gratuitous sex thrown in there somewhere. It's Bandai Namco published at the end of the day. Gotta satisfy the weebs and soy gaymers. Good god, the amount of consooming in the IGN stream.

OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO OWN A CAT CAFE.

Plus the blatant Pokemon clone. It's everything but the IP. At least Palworld is satire. I think. I'd buy Palworld just for the shits and giggles.
