It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.

ALSO, MICROTRANSACTIONS = DLC.

Stop fucking buying fucking early access fucking games. Companies do shit like this because it's profitable

Nah there are actually good early access game (Palworld, and predecessor come to mind although predecessor is f2p) but one should use caution when buying Early access games

Palworld is pretty good but it is so fucking buggy it actually makes me want to stop playing sometimes and I feel a lot of resentment for having paid for such trash. It will definitely make me more careful to check bug reports and gameplay videos before investing more time and energy into a game in the future.

Bugs I have found so far include:

  • Invaders getting stuck really far away from my base and never reaching the base
  • Enemies tunneling through the floor and getting stuck there permanently
  • Pals being hungry even though the feeder has plenty of food (had to move my feeder to fix it, but still annoying)
  • Pals randomly floating in midair and getting stuck there
  • Pals getting stuck at the edge of my base and having to pick them up to get them unstuck
  • Escape button (in menus) being super flaky (have to press it twice sometimes)
  • Click to attack (with melee weapon) sometimes doesn't work, have to try pressing random buttons to fix it
  • Graphics glitches with the pal sphere that I'm holding - randomly flashes between blue and green, so I can't tell which one I'm about to throw

Controls also suck bigtime. I still keep accidentally throwing pal spheres with Q and I really suck at using 1/3 to switch between pals. They should make it so you have to left click to throw the pal sphere. Should also maybe allow alternative ways of selecting left/right for pals and in menus, other than 1/3. Maybe Ctrl+scroll or something, idk

It also is taking fucking forever to get a gun. I am level 17 and so far do not feel like it's "Pokemon with guns" at all. I have a shitty spear which is the most powerful melee weapon at my level, yet does almost no damage to level 18+, and a semi-shitty crossbow which is super annoying to get the arrows for (arrows don't drop from enemies and the grind to manufacture them is super boring)

Get a base and put a fixy in a pen. They drop arrows spheres and coins. No need to farm the arrows. Also lvl 17 is like 3hours of game time Max. So quite early in the game
