34:40 there is a P-Organ upgrade that allows for more than 1 Legion Arm to be equipped :)

Nice work thanks ❤

21:29 it’s not a grappling hook it’s your arm for fuck sakes. Thats why it has limitations.

thank you for mentioning the DJMAX series, I didn't know Lies of P would pull music from those games so when I heard Far East Princess after having heard it in djmax respect v and then realized one of the records i got in game was named the same thing i was curious and then elated when I realized it was the same song. This video is the first time I've seen a Lies of P video actually mention that about the music beyond "wow, Feel is really good"

I don't think you should complain about enemy damage in Sekiro when your Vitality is very low for what seems to be NG+ and you have both bell demon and charmless.

It's good.. but overrraaatteedd

And at 1:22:28 there is one option for you to exit stairs! Alucard can transform into a bat while on stairs, which is pretty cool

1:08:14 how was this a thing!?!? God, this is such an unbelievable video. The commentary, the ideas, the editing, and the nuggets of humor all work so well! <3

Oh, I'm so used to playing solo, I was like how do you have Ryptro AND Wixen out. But then I saw you had a buddy with you .

At this point, they have added the ability to warp back to your nearest base from anywhere other than inside dungeons. But, it's not free. You have to unlock it in the ancient tech tree. And, it's a consumable you have to craft so it's not just unlock it and use it as much as you want. It's unlock it and craft one for every time you use it. It requires Dazzi clouds, electric organs, and ancient civ part. So not too expensive, but not cheap per se either. That stuff isn't hard to get, but it's not readily available either.

I appreciate that dig on Zelda I hate how often weapons break in those damn games

Oooooh that’s why when I picked up I think it was dark souls in 2010 when I was in Japan There wasn’t a GameStop so my selection of games was rough on base Didn’t know what it was took it back to the barracks I don’t remember there being a hud or any directions So I wandered around found an a npc in a jail cell Think I killed him Ran from a damn Skeleton that wouldn’t die no matter how many times I downed him Than I found a courtyard with a giant troll who killed me in one hit Took the game out of my 360 Never played it again

LoP has incredibly tight hitboxes. That's a major evolution of soulslike combat mechanics.

It's always weird to me how Simons Quest feels like the template for games like faxanadu and the originsl blaster master

Pokémon isn’t in decline. It’s more than just the games, it’s a house hold name. One of the biggest ips with stuff everywhere probably coming in second to Disney and any of their ips. Palworld is now finished and people moved on, especially after the reveal of Pokémon legends az and the return of mega evolution

Well done. Very professional.

Hahahahhaha...finally some affordable housing.

Going to give the is a watch when I have some time! Looks very promising

Another hood classic and we're barely half a year in!

I find it interesting how often Castlevania's music seems to appear in other games. Pony Island's Beelzebub track directly samples from Castlevania 1's stage 13-15 music (Heart of Fire), and when listening to the Castlevania 2 music montage at 51:32, I was immediately reminded of Plants vs Zombies' Pool theme (Watery Grave). Makes me wonder how many other composers have taken inspiration from Castlevania's tracks.

i wanted to mention that the space konami had for tiles to spend on different areas in castlevania 2 vs castlevania 3 actually was a limitation of hardware: while the nes itself wouldn't receive many upgrades for it's lifespan, it did have support for cartridges themselves to upgrade the capabilities of the nes. many iconic games later in it's lineup would have the capability to swap out graphics data on the fly in order to achieve a larger effective amount of graphics, and the total amount available only increased with time

Castlevania 3 is my favorite NES game. It’s very replay-able and it’s got a pretty impressive scope for a game on the NES Sad that the franchise is basically just dead at this point

while not games i've played I do like learning about these wildly iconic retro franchises because it helps me appreciate what a love letter to them Shovel Knight is (one of my favorite games ever), i'll get to these someday though maybe.

So glad I've found this channel, I can already tell it's going to deliver ❤

Very nice video, you deserve a lot more subscribers!! I can not imagine the amount of work it took you to make an hour video long!

My main issue with Palworld (outside of it being a survival-crafting game) is the combat. I like that you can fight beside your Pals and ride them, or perform some kind of tag-team option with them (like Foxsparks' flamethrower), but outside of that, I hate that you have very little control over what moves your Pal performs. They have a bad habit of using super-effective attacks when I'm trying to catch a Pal, and not using super-effective attacks when I'm trying to kill a Pal. The AI is also horrible in that they'll frequently get stuck on terrain, or completely miss attacks often. I feel like I'm doing much more of the work sometimes during fights. On top of that, I really don't like the lack of evolution. It basically makes early game Pals get far outclassed by more late game Pals. Sure, there are some ways to make sure the early game Pals can keep up, but it requires a lot of work and time when I could just, ya know, catch a more powerful Pal instead. There are other issues I have too, like the overly simplistic type chart, 3 moves instead of 4 for each Pal, and 5 Pals on a team instead of 6, but the other issues I feel play a bigger role into why I find the combat lacking.

28:47 if Rook thinks Foxsparks' weapon is humorous, wait till he discovers Tocotoco

Hmm is that why my first skeleton in dark souls kept getting back up? Because I was using a sword instead of a blunt weapon?

Very well put, kudos

38:20 It's funny how you mention those genres considering I've heard of Pocket Monsters since the first gen, but I was more of a spin-off person. And considering I've only kept up with the series just for the monsters/creatures themselves and nothing else. Heck, just watching someone play the mainline games to me is boring as freak, and the battling doesn't even help either. My family, siblings and I are more of a mixed bag/variety of genres. We usually don't stick with a specific genre very long as it's more of based on mood. For me, while I did like playing and buying video games, in the long run, watching videos, movies, tv shows, and listening to music were four things that I loved spending time on more often than I did playing video games. And when the internet came along by the time my school did a project on it in September 2005, I completely dropped playing video games altogether in favor of spending hours, and hours, and hours of my free time just searching the web, watching movie trailers I never knew existed, and with TH-cam existing, it gave me content and stuff (ranging from content centuries ago all the way up to the present), it was basically heaven/time machine to be able to discover content that my parents and grandparents watched back in the 20th century, and learn a ton of stuff from centuries ago that my dad would have loved to learn, look up, and read about if it existed back in the 1980s and such. Because of this I ended up going from a person loving and playing video games 24/7, to more of a video/movie watcher and music listener that I prefer to do more often than play video games. Not to mention being a person who discovered 1980s content in October 2008 thanks to Back To The Future long before the nostalgia 1980's trend occurred five years later in 2014, I was so hooked onto looking everything up about that decade, from the mainstream to the underground (and there's still more out there in many decades prior to the 21st century from where we are currently). So I ended up becoming a person who loved Back To The Future more often than Pokemon, but I would absolutely love to see elements of time travel appear in the game at some point, or added more islands in this game for me to explore and such (but we'll have to wait and see). And not to mention the possible court case towards Yuzu/Switch emulators and Pocketpair, this year is going to be one of the second most controversial gaming years (last one being 2004 and 2007) that I've seen in a very long time. As for Palworld though, with many people already uploading mods into the game, it's only going to get better from here, even if they update the game to a new version in the next 8 months or so. But for Palworld, it reminded me a lot of how much time I've spent on the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, 7 Days To Die, and most of all, the endless, ENDLESS amount of hours spent on playing online multiplayer and solo mode of Call of Duty Black Ops 1 Zombies, with the "FIVE" map still being my favorite zombie map of all time (Most people like Kino but I'd prefer FIVE because not only is it a challenge, it's just a lot more chaotic, fun, and waaayyy more intense compared to Kino. But that's just me.) And while Pokemon for me, much like Digimon, were on and off franchises, I feel like Digimon (in Japan at least) was one of those franchises before Palworld that was more on the mature side of lore/story. But again, it was similar in gameplay to do turn based battles like Pokemon did. So seeing Palworld be able to take a stab into not only one of the ideas I had in mind of being able to fight alongside your creatures/monsters you had on board, but also be able to explore pretty much anywhere you like in multiple different regions, whether in the fictional world, or in real life being able to use your monsters/creatures to go around the world from North and South America to even the polar caps of North and South Poles. So for my family and I, we're usually casuals to the gaming side of things, but my sister is more of a person who likes to beat games at her own pace, while my oldest brother and I are more of video game players that just like to have fun and go crazy with stuff (my second older brother still prefers to play on consoles and buy physical/digital copies on his playstation consoles to this very day). Personally, I pretty much love each and every creature in this game, and considering the amount of dragons and birds included in the game, they're all my favorite. Plus, I don't know if Pocketpair knows this, but seeing one of the bird creatures be called "Nitewing" was a very nice but obscure reference to one of the very early TH-cam video game reviewing channels (along with AVGN, Irate Gamer, and Wiiviewr to name a few) being "Knightwing" or K-Wing for short. When I saw that name, I couldn't help but name it "Knightwing" as a reference to one of the very first youtube video game reviewing channels I came across (Not just Irate Gamer which I still love his late 2000s Seasons 1-7 videos to this very day, including his "History of Video Games" series from parts 1-9 that I'm not sure why he hasn't finished the series yet or something.)

So where is the Pokemon declining?

I have been catching an unhealthy amount of Cremis and Chikipi. The chickens will come home to roost, and the Fluff of my armies shall lightly smush my enemies!

How I see Palworld, this is just my opinion, it's sort of parody BUT at the same time makers have passion for it and do things with players in mind. Like progress and overall mechanics are fun. I think it's good that pokémon company gets slap on their fingers. The latest two games and their pokémon designs have been horrible and lazy.

ill start by saying that i diidnt grow up with pokemon games, i grew up with theyre predicesors and betters games like final fantasy 7, final fantasy tactics, and legend of the dragoon, games that genuinly reached the very peak of what rpg's could be at that time and even some years after, pokemon is whats called a beginners rpg, light on mechanics story and characters that could overwelm the toddlers that played them, sadly pokemon never grew up with those todlers... and even sadder, by the sales numbers of there most recent and worst games... they never had to grow up... the fans will eat the slurry regardless of quality... i dont know whats more depressing, that gamefreak will never have to try... or that the fans will never care to force them to try.

Pokemon has gone too high for long enough

Palworld will be here for the next 5-10yrs. Assuming they do not make a Palworld 2 or extend the franchise in some sort of way. Pokemom HAD it when they made PL-Arcues, then dropped the ball. Palworld is here to stay and I am so glad I got AC. LETS GOOOOOO!! 🦾🦾

Um, you do NOT drop the pals you were carrying when you die, just your items

I don't think Palworld will simply be a quick flash and gone. The cult following is strong (and I'm right there with everyone) if anything. I actually really love the Pal designs more than the recent Pokémon gen. They've really captured my heart while I was capturing them.

25:44 heck yeah! Having your flying mount get obliterated by a gang with rocket launchers in the desert and having to walk it back out on foot and find a new fast travel spot is so desolate and epic. Makes for memorable gaming experiences - the event actually becomes part of your story and adds to the immersive experience.

That was really good. I enjoyed hearing your commentary on how much more engaging Palworld was that made it a smash hit. Make sure to bob and weave some information about Pokemon and Palworld together in the future because my idiot brain made me forget something you were talking about 5 minutes later, lol. I also appreciate the pro-competition message at the end.

"I don't think Palworld will beat Pokemon." As of today, Palworld has more players across Steam and XBox than Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, the best-selling game in the franchise.

Ragnahawk looks better than any bird Pokemon does IMO.

I'm very mixed on the lack of Evolution in palworld. On one hand, I wish i could improve my early game pals into stronger versions of themselves, turning like my Foxparks into a more powerful fox, or even evolve it into a Wixen or something so I could keep using it well into the endgame rather than replacing it... but at the same time, the POINT of Palworld is that pals are expendable, so it makes sense.

Technically there is no Pizza Party option, but I'm pretty sure there already are foods which increase SAN or make SAN decrease more slowly.

Nice vid 👍

Another excellent video man. I haven't gotten to play Palworld yet but your discussion was very thoughtful. Happy to see your channel is starting to pick up subs and more views as well!
