I hate Fall Guys

Eric writes: "Everyone else in the universe seems to be having a glorious time with Devolver Digital's new bumbling battle royale, but I can barely touch the controller without being gripped with a terrible rage that makes me want to take a sledgehammer to my PS4."

Damn, fall guys managed to break the human psyche.

In all fairness these days it's a pretty fragile thing.

'I hate Fall Guys'

Fine, don't play it. Don't write a whole blog post about your trauma!

"I'm glad that everyone is having such a good time with Fall Guys, and I'm deeply happy for Devolver Digital - which is the video game company equivalent of the funny kid in the back of the class that everyone is secretly in love with"

I wrote it earlier, reminds me of the legendary Takeshi's Castle. Tastes are in the nature, but writing an article about a game you don't like is dumb

come on this isnt a battle royale..... might as well call every racing game out there a battle royale then

roadkillers2015d ago

The way I see it, if there are a large number of people who start and the numbers start dwindling over time, it is a battle royal.

WWF (even before then) literally had a match that was called “battle royal” where the guys would through each other out of the ring. Once thrown out, they were eliminated. Battle Royals been around well before video game shooters

I think you'll find it was called 'Royal Rumble' https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Yeah I remember the battle royale’s in WWF. (not to be confused with the Royal Rumble)

MoonConquistador2015d ago

@SaveFerris - Not quite. The Royal Rumble was a variation on the battle royal where a new entrant was introduced every few minutes.

A WWF Battle Royale started with everyone in the ring at the start of the match

Let's see,
- Contestants get eliminated until 1 wins
- Modes consist of Races, Survival, Gathering, sports games, king of the hill

What isn't battle royale about it? That it doesn't have guns like Fortnite? That no one dies?

Profchaos2016d ago (Edited 2016d ago )

Everything he complained about is why it's fun.

It's unpredictable nature which includes getting stuck behind other players is a key game mechanic which is why there are multiple paths to take.

But it's simple controls mean that anyone from non gamers to hardcore can play on a similar level.

I'm shocked no one did this sooner

RgR2015d ago

And I'm so glad they finally did

They should add split screen co op and 4 player smaller minigmaes for local party time.

Love it! A new take on Mario party :)

crazyCoconuts2015d ago

Isn't it really "Nintendo-ish"? Some of the music even sounds like it was lifted from Splatoon

generic-user-name2015d ago

Nintendo-ish? It has decent functioning online (teething pains aside) mp, nothing Nintendo-ish about that.

Hedstrom2014d ago

Yea! A kind of mix between Nintendo (Mario party) and bomber man :)
