      I took Pokemon Legends Arceus to 100%. I can firmly say Palworld has a better loop than PLA.

      We were almost capped on Palworld and reset our server yesterday. I have spent over a dozen hours since our reset playing the game. I would have put PLA down permanently if I was almost done with the 100% dex and lost my save data. I am missing 2 achievements on Horizon Zero Dawn on steam for that exact reason.

      Early access is fine if you look at the game as it is now instead of thinking about “what it will be”.

        Agreed. The Early Access just tells me that they plan to make more content for the game, which is really exciting.

      Don’t get me wrong, as-is it’s already very playable and fun. Worth the price by a long shot. I’m hopeful it will continue to improve but even if the company vanished tomorrow and left the game in its current state, I would be satisfied with my purchase.

        Its pretty clear that the automation aspect was a little over sold in some of the trailers. In one trailer, two lines of cattiva are carrying iron bars from what appears to be a forge.

        Pals won’t pull out of forges AFAIK. So it feels like they threw 2 stacks of iron behind the forge and recorded it as an automation demonstration.

        I think I’ve spent the last 4 days not doing anything except trying to get the pal automation to be a little more controlled…

          Yeah it would be cool to see something similar to the factorio logistics network for pals, crafting stations, and storage. Requesters, providers, and storage settings on inventory slots is all it would take

              No the pals already do this by default, I just wish I could control which chests they use more finely

            Probably something more like RimWorld would be it. Filters on boxes, task bar to tell your anubis to stop wasting time on mining and prioritize crafting, stuff like that.

      I normally agree. In 99% of situations skip that early access and wait for, at minimum, fully supported Beta release after the major issues have been ironed out. This is that incredibly uncommon 1% that’s worth it. First Early Access title I have grabbed in years.

      My rule of thumb with early access is that if you’re happy in its current state, then it’s worth it. If you’re buying on the idea of future promises, you’re a sucker. If they were to suddenly declare the game finished, the content right now would be worth the price tag imo. It needs some polish, but then again it’s more polished then anything game freak has put out in recent years lol.
