My steam name is RodShaftMD, and the ONLY time I started in the front row was when there were only 5 of us. So no back row at all.

I'm generally in the front so there's probably something to it.

Speaking of poo poo I wish I had recorded: a 5v5 Fall Ball that had 4 balls in play the entire time. That was some raw chaos.

I just don't think the season felt like much of an update. Like I was disappointed. The mid-season update did more to increase replayability then the new season did.

On PS4 at least you have to pay subscription for online play as well though. My subscription actually ran out just before the first season ended and I was going to sign up again if the new season seemed like it improved things, but it is going to take a bit more to get me back into it.

My desires aside, I hope they don’t lose the popularity they have with the growing pains. It’s kinda cool how many nongamers I know who enjoy playing it. It’s also the one BR game I can play casually because it isn’t twitch/aim based.

They introduced a ton of freezing into Hex, at least on the PS4. So, from my perspective, they've introduced large bugs into the two best finales.

That's one perspective. The other one is that they happened to hit the jackpot with the popularity and media coverage of their game but are in danger of squandering it. I guess if depends on whether they are happy with the level of success the game has already had and are happy just to ride that wave out naturally or if they want to be more ambitious and capitalise on the viral nature of the game.

Filling up the shop with the lowest effort content I've ever seen (text for your title card) is not the way to go. They managed to turn something that could have been kinda fun (earning titles by doing something cool in game) into sabotaging their own dlc income by trashing the shop.

If you were to be generous to them you might say:

1. The massive success has given them the resources to expand the team to produce more content, but hiring and on boarding developers takes time and brand new devs are typically a net drain on manpower for a short period, so they'd likely only be starting to benefit from that now.

2. The unexpected success has meant a huge amount of their resource since release has been taken up by anticheat/networking work, whereas a more modest release would have allowed them to spend more time on quality of life/minor bugfixig/ new levels.

That being said s2 was definitely underwhelming and if the mid season updates dont come fast and add some cool stuff they're in real danger of bleeding a lot of players before season 3.

By the way, every month I'm paying £8.99 for "PlayStation™Now" and £6.99 for 'PlayStation®Plus', but I think i got Fall Guys for free having those. Do i still need both to play FG? I find Playstation so confusing I'm sure theres at least three separate subscriptions.

Playstation Now is their 'netflix', lets you stream or download games without owning them from their library, PS Plus is (1) internet access for multiplayer games and (2) Gives you a few games permanently* every month.

Yes.

But if you already have the game, chances are you got it free through PS+.

Which means it’s yours forever and you can play it just using the PS+ account.

Also, just get a 12 month Playstation Plus account giftcard. It’s $59.99, and usually on Black Friday/Cyber Monday you can find it for $39.99 at various videogame outlets.

I have no idea how that map even made it past initial concept, all it takes is the initial fly over to realise how bad it is. Then you play it and :negative:

Possibly it could be salvaged by turning it into a 3-way fall ball with each team trying to launch the most boulders into their castle.

If you only play Fall Guys, dump Now, but keep Plus. You can get a year of Plus for £43 from cdkeys at the moment, I'll probably do that and keep on fallin' once I've played through the Last of Us 2.

I like the idea behind the Gauntlet mode, I use it from time to time when I hit a string of bad luck, but I worry they're going to make the same mistake so many other games have made & end up splitting the playerbase.

cerebral

I keep checking to make sure that I'm not in Gauntlet mode, and sure enough, I am not, and yet it is Fall Mountain after Fall Mountain.

Has anyone ever even heard anyone say, "Man, I've had Hex a Gone or Jump Showdown 8 times in a row?" No you have not, because the weighting of Fall Mountain is messed up.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
They could fix one of the main problems with fall mountain by having all the players arranged in a semi circle, equal distance from a door that leads to the rest of the course.

Starting position doesn't make that big of a difference in whether you qualify from other races, but in a final, starting should be as equal as possible.
