{
"body": "My guess is it's a rip off of horizon and monster hunter"
},
{
"body": "I’m usually giving things the benefit of the doubt and err on the side of things just being inspired by other properties.\n\nBut in this case holy hell even the promotional art looks like it’s intentionally ripping off horizon"
}

},
{
"body": "I looked this up and to say it's a Horizon clone isn't enough. [The title screenshot](https://news.instant-gaming.com/en/articles/9453-polaris-quest-has-announced-light-of-motiram-a-survival-horizon-like-for-pc?utm_source=igStore&utm_campaign=home) is practically Horizon with a slightly different font and name."

{
"body": "Light of Motiram x Palworld Crossover will destroy the world with its unoriginality.\n\n\"There is only so many ways you can draw robot animals.\""
},
{
"body": "Trailer looks cool, but then I learned it's also got survival crafting elements, which pretty much killed my interest in the game. They're just not for me personally, I don't want to spend time worrying about hunger/thirst and sitting at a location building something, when I could be out exploring/fighting/etc.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Thanks to your comment, I saved time by not even looking at the trailer and instead got a snack and a drink which I will enjoy much more than yet another survivalcraftingopenworldgame",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Be real, you were here looking at the comments, you were never going to watch the trailer."
},
{
"body": "As a big Horizon fan, the machines and world look cool. But.. I don't want to have to worry about \"Oh no tummy is empty, must forage for food\" when I could be all \"Hey I wonder what's at the top of this mountain\".",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Yeah I’m playing Zero Dawn right now and I would loathe to imagine playing it with an added layer of survival mechanics. I’m sorry the only thing that I should be worrying about is “oh my God do I have enough resources for this fight”."
},
{
"body": "I wouldn't mind if food was handled like the new Zelda games. Ingredients are all over the map and any food ingredients can be combined. No specific recipes or amounts which requires specific grinding, just throw it together and see what happens, you'll always end up with something usable.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "The cooking in botw is about the only crafting system I can tolerate. Way too many times it's \"pick up everything you see, but you're still missing an ingredient for crafting something basic\""
}
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"body": "More for me. If it is a monster hunter but with mechs, having a persistent open world to survive in would be a fantastic addition to that formula. Monster hunter gets a bit hung up on its missions where you’re in and your out. I love those breathing environments and if I could actually survive in one I’d be so happy."

{
"body": "What in the souless, unlikely to ever come out, Horizon ripoff fuck this? \n\nIs this a new meta to scam for funding, make a high quality trailer of a mishmash of popular games together?",
"replies": [
{
"body": "It's the new genre of Palworld-like games."
}
]
},
{
"body": "It's obviously a blatant Horizon ripoff, but my friends and I are suckers for new open-world survival co-op games. I'll definitely be checking it out if it ever gets released."
},
{
"body": "Like how people are calling this a soulless ripoff but somehow Palworld is ok 😂\n\nLike are we ok with soulless ripoffs or not?",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Did you go through all their comment histories to get their take on Palworld? 😅"
},
{
"body": "Who says Palworld is ok? Plenty of people I know disagree, me included. It's a pretty blatant ripoff too"
},
{
"body": "... but Palworld has guns!"
},
{
"body": "Palworld is a parody, that's the difference.\n\nIt's also a better game than any of Pokemon's recent offerings, so that helps win people over.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "[By Pocket pair's CEO own admission. Palword is not a parody. ](https://www.thegamer.com/interview-palworld-not-just-pokemon-with-guns/). And has no inspiration from Pokémon",

{
"body": "I've got a bridge to sell and you seem like an excellent prospective customer. Interested?",
"replies": [
{
"body": "Lol. If I were a Palworld/Pocketpair fan, I would probably be interested."
}
]
},
{
"body": "Did you even read your own link? Nowhere here does it say that it's not a parody of Pokemon, the word 'parody' isn't even mentioned. All they said is it's not 'Pokemon with guns', rather, it's more inspired by survival/crafters like Rust, Ark, and Rimworld - which is evident from the gameplay.\n\nAlso, there's this concept called 'death of the author'. Whether they admit that it's parodying Pokemon or not, it is regardless.",
"replies": [
{
"body": "The comparison to Rimworld is completely laughable. There is way more Pokemon in that game than Rimworld. If you have to deny the obvious similarities to Pokemon then you are just proving everyone's point...",
