I played Fall Guys yesterday with some friends and they've somehow managed to completely suck the fun of the game out. I don't know exactly what combination of things it is but there is no joy left in that game. It's sad and kind of impressive at the same time. They even added a 'help me' gimmick that lets you piggyback on other players which I think is both funny and useful, yet the game still feels fucked.Anyone else played it recently? We also tried Stumble Guys since it's somehow more popular now and it's absolute dogshit. No idea how the Steam player numbers are like 4-5x that of Fall Guys
My friend and I used to play it every day until just after it went free to play. It went to shit real fast.
>>683693628>>683693703What changed?
>>683696206They went free-to-play, removed crowns as the highest tier of currency (which you earned by winning games) and introduced map creation tools - players could make maps which would then be featured in the main playlists. I'm not sure why these changes alone would kill it - but it really feels fundamentally joyless now. Maybe the devaluation/ removal of crowns is the biggest factor.
>>683696427Does the game not have stats that track the times you first placed?
>>683696567It didn't used to - I used to use crowns as a vague guide since I didn't spend them too much
