What incited the proliferation of this particular genre amongst modern consumers, v?The genre is bloated.Are new games still getting better, or has the genre peaked?
twitchfags
Are extraction shooters friendslop or anti-friendslop?
Is this the golf lobbies thread or the peak lobbies thread? Is the infighting finally over?
is this friendslop?
>>734912179REPO is actually really fun.It only stops being fun when you become very good at the game, and have a long run end due to some bullshit.
>>734912258the only one I've played is tarkov and that was hackerslop
>>734912330can you do co-op in this game?
>co-op is slopWhats wrong with this board
>>734912370>have a long run end due to some bullshit.anon that game is pretty bullshits stacked upon bullshits, just that the earlier bullshits are manageable when they happen.
>>734912179it started with the trope of making an indie game in the hopes that e-celebes and 'tubers would play it (indie horror games, happy wheels, etc.) resulting in more sales.if you make it multiplayer, you're probably going to sell even more copies. the popularity of amogus for a period of time is probably what kicked off that deviation of the trend.
>>734912179Lack of good AAA multiplayer gamesGaaS scratch the correct feeling for most people
>>734912258they're extraction shooters
>>734912380Not all co-op games are friendslop.
>>734912380no one is calling trine or magicka slop u fagort
>>734912380i think the term slop now is just manufactured products that just keep coming out. like there was a few friend "slop" games and now theres a shit ton
>>734912227>What incited the proliferation of this particular genre amongst modern consumers, v?The rise of the prosocial gamer. /v/ wouldn't know about it.
>>734913094friendslop is the shit that twitchfaggots promote, then you and your friends install and play for 1-2 hours only to never touch it again and go back to your default vidya
>>734912327go to /vg/ or /vm/ you tranny
lobby ...doko?
>>734913418>1-2 hourshaha yeah...
>>734912380Co-op isn't well looked upon here. I'm not saying you won't find threads dedicated to it from time to time but is it really that surprising the majority opinion here is geared more towards single player? Think about who comes here.I have another theory though that's simply coop players don't talk about it because they're just busy playing coop. Also like any thread a thread that bitches about stuff is way more likely to last then a thread that compliments stuff. You liked thing? Who fucking cares. You hate thing? Lemme write four paragraphs on why you're a faggot bitch.

>>734914138eh, when we have LANs we just default to cs/wc3/aoe2
>>734914426I mean it's a gamble either way we're all just screaming into the ether looking for a response whatever it is. But yeah it also flies the opposite direction too.
I've been playing friendsloppa with friends, it's really fun.
>>734912380Because those games inherently aren't "co-op".Co-op requires collaboration with aligned incentives, not just multiplayer participation. I'm so fucking sick and tired of these fucking party games being called "co-op" because it has a team mode. PvPvE is not co-op. PvE is also not co-op. Co-op implies interdependent collaboration, where each player’s actions directly influence the outcome for all. If the difficulty is imposed by the AI rather than the need to cooperate, it’s multi-player vs environment, not “co-op” in the true sense.Left 4 Dead, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Halo: Campaign Mode, these are all REAL co-op games.
>>734914841>Halo: Campaign Modereal?
>>734914841>PvE is not co-op>L4D is co-op???
>>734912179The more I think about the friendslop epidemic, the more I realize it's a direct result of the obvious— AAA multiplayer-games catering too fucking much to tryhard esport shitters.You didn't need REPO or PEAK back in the day, because you could just hang out in Halo 3 and play icecream man. Modern MP is soass, with it's forced 50, role queues, fake progression behind bp's, etc etc, that "friendslop" is now here to fill the role of the actual fun you're supposed to be having in said MP games. "Friendslop" is just the moments that happen with your friends when playing a fun game. modern mps aren't designed for such moments.
>>734912258foeslop
>>734912965that's proto-friendslop
>>734914897A game can be PvE without requiring cooperation. Co-op is about dependency, not just PvE content. The game’s mechanics force players to work together.I probably should've worded it as>A game being PvE does is not automatically co-op
>>734912378>>734912851>>734915092K but like, Lethal Company IS just an extraction shooter without the shooting.
>>734915030>AAA multiplayer games are all shit these days>friendslop fills in the void of casual fun>…but those are just as shit tooSo is there any solution to this or are we all just fucked in perpetuity?
>>734915334Which is why I hate it. Friend bought me it, played it a couple times then uninstalled, then he stopped talking with me.
lmao game crashed
>>734915591I was gonna say, I was able to walk underwater for a bit
>>734915443I boughterened it, but I have zero friends.
>>734915679Well, come in here and make some!
>>734915679You should have saved your money. It's just a streamer-bait game. If you don't have a twitch it's worthless.

>>734915030Doesn't help that modern AAA shit is not that fun subjective, fine, costs $80 and requires 5080 to barely run meanwhile friendslop runs on an ancient office pc and costs $10

>>734912380You're being dishonest by saying all co-op games are treated like this.
>>734917791S******...
>>734912179lonely zoomers like watching it as a friend simulation experiencecontent creators make content with these games for easy viewsindie devs make these games for maximum profitsthis will process will continue until an all-encompassing social experience reduces the desire zoomers have for watching strangers on the internet have fun with their friendsmaybe a new friendslop MMO or something
Missing blue scouts? last chance
>>734912179>What incited the proliferation of this particular genre amongst modern consumers,Because the indie development game revolution was always fake as I've always tried to tell people this at least since 2015 as it was getting bigger that these people were extension of the garbage bad part of the industry. Indie development is just as soulless as triple A is and gaming is dead. The sooner you realize it the better.
>>734914841By your own definition, peak and lethal company are both co-op.
>>734919983gay
>>734917791the single most loony troon groomer coded game that has ever existed
>>734912179Try having friends and wanting to play games with them, maybe you'll understand
>>734912179Once you figure out how to make MP without your game shitting itself (harder than it sounds) It's easier to make a multiplayer game fun than it is a single player experience.
>>734912179Define friendslop, you absolute mongrel.
>>734914841Ask me how I know you've never seen a vagina IRL
I like the idea of a general coop games thread, I hope this lasts all weekend
>>734920008that's why i found you to be the perfect candidate to play
>>734920985retarded low IQ groomer post
>>734912179Peak trend is over, Super Battle Golf is new hotness, I think it's the new Lethal Company honestly
Honestly the friendslop era really kicked off with Mario Kart 8 that game was fantastic for content of 20 plus year olds screaming and swearing at each other like retarded adult children, with World being shit they had to jump back into things like GTA Races, some channels straight up only do GTA stuff now, others chase trends like Rebo, Lethal Company, Peak and now Super Battle Golf but that game won't survive the month, next month they'll either go back to Peak or to some new game, hell maybe Backrooms games will make a comeback, what really gets me is the Subnautica multiplayer game just fucking died, sea horror mulitplayer for a game that was really popular before 2 ruined everything would be food for these people because of brand recognition, there was sorta game like that but it was less subnautica and more Lethal Company but water.
shieet another crash. sorry bros, was fun while it lasted.

>>734921401You gotta admit he cooked you bro.
>>734912179Funny, I actually saw the term "friendslop" being used in a piece of normalfag media about how modern games need to be ADHD-proof and if possible be a glorified hangout for people.
How does one host a golf lobby? I just set everything at the match setup menu right?
>>734923441the adhd bait is what contains fags from normal people who just want to hang out. Otherwise you get webfishing where all the fags realize there is more to life than optimizing a game to death, such as erping and drawing furry porn.
>>734917791Is this any good or is it some kind of trannyshit
>many friendslops>not a single good horror coopwhy can no one tap this one specific genre?
>>734924707Lethal company is still pretty good in short bursts...
>>734924707guess in a way that's phasmophobia?
>>734924751>>734924819both are fun for a little bit and then get hyper samey after a few hours
>>734924819>guess in a way that's phasmophobia?You reminded me of that DS Ghostbuster game which was really good and now I have to ask, why hasn't anyone made a four person ghostbuster game. It's free money if made correctly.
>>734924957Lisencing issues, lack of original actors still alive to do the voices, plus nu-Ghostbusters gets in the way because clueless investors will ask you why you're making something from the old instead of the new and won't give money to such a project.

We will degrade and shame people for having fun with these low-budget so-called "games">Friend slop sir?>Yes, Friend slop.
