    That pal in the thumbnail looks like someone on the Palworld team took a fan edit of an Egyptian themed lucario and specifically designed that pal to look just like it.

      I would say almost all of them fall under the ‘legally distinct but totally is’ category.

        The server I set up for my friends is named “Portable Creatures: Exhalation of the Wilderness” for a reason.

      I read in steam reviews that the Dev is actually suspected to use genAi on Pokémon images to create their pal designs

    Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the “compatibility layer” to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).

    I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it’s worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don’t game on Windows anymore).

        I kinda do too. It’s nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.

        Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.

        That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.

        are there any games not running easily in linux these days?

        i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.

          Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.

            From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.

            oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

            i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.

            you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.

              I don’t know what any of that means but it’s not something I ever had to do with Windows.

                @helenslunch @umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.

                Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.

                On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw

                  Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.

                i never had to do this for original games on any os.

                windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.

      What’s even the point in these kinds of comments? The game doesn’t rely on the player community being large so why even bring it up?

        I would assume their point was that a lot of games seem to be driven by self propelling hype I’m not saying it’s not necessarily a bad game, I just think that he means everyone will have forgotten about it by then and everyone will jump on the next hype train

        I guess there’s nothing really being added to the conversation but I do see it in my friend groups where people hype up a game, buy it for a week then it’s never mentioned again, the last one being lethal company

          You nailed it. To the other commenters, my point is not that there wont be people playing it at all in a month. More that in a short amount of time the perceived “greatness” of this game will no longer be the consensus. Games that get this kind of hype excel on that hype alone, most times it’s fueled by streamers who are filling a gap while they wait for a more anticipated game to launch. Once players get a couple weeks in the honeymoon phase subsides and we are left with another early access title that was never really that great in the first place. It has been out 2 days. I’ll be happy to come back and say I was wrong. Time will tell. I’ll go back the patientgamers now.

      Fortunately, since it’s playable offline, it doesn’t seem to matter how many people will be playing in a month.
