Fall Guys.

[CastletonSnob]

Just heard about this game the other day, but it's apparently gotten really popular.



To give you an idea of what the game is like, it's a battle royale with Mario Party style minigames and Wipeout-style obstacle courses.

[Nerph-]

And it's currently one of this months free games on PS Plus.

As for the game itself it's pretty fun. If you don't have a Playstation 4 it's €19.99/$19.99 on Steam.

This game is a predatory scam specifically targeted at donks that love to spend endless amounts of money on new shiny cosmetics. It doesn't surprise me the gameplay is based on randomness and not skill because that's the only way to make donks feel like winners is when the rng is in their favor. Donks love playing low skill ceiling games where they don't need any skills to win at the game. That's why they love mobile games. This game is pretty much a mobile game.

Rng based games like this one are predatory games. Rng is there to manipulate players into replaying the game because much like gambling you win some and lose many. Those few wins will keep you coming back though. These predators know you'll get that huge dopamine rush when you get that lucky clutch win after being frustrated for hours after getting screwed by the same rng factors.

It's definitely not supposed to be as skill based as Fortnite or Apex, but it's definitely not all RNG. I get to the last round pretty consistently which would not happen if RNG was fucking me over constantly. There is RNG sure, but there are strategies you can employ to counter it.

It's just a fun, goofy game that you're not supposed to take too seriously. Something you obviously failed at.

Agree. The only thing with legit "RNG" would be the team games. If the others just go completely potato or even AFK, there's absolutely nothing you can do. I mean in the tail game, you can only have one tail, if the others lose them, you can't do anything about it. Or if you have the other two teams go completely against yours in the egg collection or ball games, there's nothing you can do with skill.
But in general, yes, it's just meant to be some goofy fun and not a "serious BR" or something.

You sound like a person that would want to "balance" fucking mario party.

There is no real strategy to conquer rng. Rng is rng. If the game wants to fuck you it will. It goes both ways.

And lol, I bolded the part of your post I found to be funny. I mean seriously dude these games are poison to these kids as they're trying to subconsciously get them hooked on gambling through gameplay. I feel like I'm the only one that sees this game for what it is. It's a predatory game no different from these mobile games.

I've seen some of the last round games that are non teams. Those have rng in them as well. The game uses "fun" to hide its predatory element.

They're mind controlling you without you even knowing. When the game fucks you on that mountain stage by putting you last in line it makes you want to play "ONE MORE DUDE" and the next thing you know it you're spending another 10 hours playing a casino game that does everything in its power to get you to buy their little shop microtransactions. The more time you spend on the game the more likely you are to spend more money on the game.

I just know the donks are loving that store right now. They can't help themselves. As soon as they see cosmetics and character customization, they lose their minds and instantly spend the money like a bunch of crack addicts.

....Man who broke your heart to make you that bitter. The game looks incredibly silly as fuck, game isn't for me but man... I aint that salty about it though.

This invidividual is very sad. Said Ghost of Tsushima would suck, obviously it didn't.
Can't play FPS games because he's too old so it caters to all the young kids
Thinks every game with a store is designed to lure crack addicts in when it gives you no incentive to even do so

Walk outside and breathe a little, you sound so bitter

Dude shut up. The gaming community is so weak these days. Games like these would've been laughed at back in the day. Now you have the grown ass men playing these casino toddler games designed to manipulate the next generation of kids into gambling.

Really tired of the fact that nowadays I'm the heel here.

Ghost of Tsushima is everything I said it was going to be. A shitty movie simulator open world game that has the gameplay depth of a puddle. Doom Eternal is pretty much the only good fucking game this year because its not just an overproduced game with nothing in it. It's one of the few "modern games" these days to actually have some kind of GAME behind it.

Most people that jerk off to these shitty console IP's just have shit taste and there's nobody to call them out on it so they think their worthless ideas of what a good game is valid. I'm tired of you people. Go play your mobile games or watch your movies. You don't belong here.

People like games I don't like, how dare they!? /reeeeeeeeeeeeee

Get over yourself, taste is all subjective.

And you should adhere to your closing statements about ideas of what a good game is, because that [your opinion] is worthless too.

[Jtbrig7390]

Clearly you never played or heard of Mario Party.

That's all this is, Its a different take on a party style game. You really should learn to just chill and enjoy something or not shit on the things others enjoy at lease.

You are "it". Not the others.
It's a party game people used to play since they were kids 20 years ago on their gamecubes and other consoles. Nothing more, nothing less.

What a bitter twat you are. Geez.
I can understand that you have trouble liking a game like that, because they are usually enjoyed with friends or with a group of people.

[Blackmist]

I described it at work as "Like It's A Knockout, but you get touched up by pigeons and ninjas, rather than Stuart Hall".

[Orby]

I actually am having balls of fun. Shame about the very shitty fornitey style monetisation, but its not really stopping my own enjoyment so that's a good thing.

ITs cute its silly, its not that frustrating either, its just fun and a good game to hop back into then and again

Well played lol. xD

Hey man, you're free to like or dislike any game you want...but this gate-keeping bullshit is why "you're the heel here" nowadays. The only people that "don't belong here" are the ones trying to keep anyone that doesn't agree with them out.

You know what a "good game" is? A game you enjoy. That's it. And everyone's "worthless ideas", even yours, are valid when it comes to what they think a good game is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Dude no fuck you and all of your shitty ideas. I'm so tired of all of you people in here telling me to allow these morons to express their shitty opinions unchecked.

You know what happens when people just let shitty ideas and dumbass donks run wild without anyone telling them they're wrong? We get more shit games that cater to this ever increasing demographic.

Fuck all of you morons that defend this insane idea that "everything is subjective" and that people like me who have real standards and want to enforce them are the bad guys. You people are the enablers for these predatory scam games because you look the other way instead of calling it out for what it is.

Welp. Enjoy your vacation.

I hope it's worth it.

More on-topic: yeah, it's a fun game. I found it watching Markiplier's video, and I got really interested on it, but I'll pass for now as apparently there are server issues, or something like that? But I'll definitely revisit it later when the servers are more stable.
