yeah, agree Dialga
I could give a huge list of flaws or half-baked ideas in Big Walk, at its core I think the devs just didn't fully commit to what they were making
But yeah, it's one of the best friendslop experiences I think you can have, assuming a group size of 5-8 (everyone is free to argue about the precise ideal number)
big walk was great
I think every single person of our group who played it walked away with at least one or two memorable experiences
a mic is required, and I think you sort of need to know the people you're playing with
and yeah, the central mechanic is solving puzzles, it's a video game version of teambuilding challenges you have to do in school/work
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ I didnt play big walk, but it seems like a good iteration of friend slop. Everything post LC has just been a slightly different version of LC where you just extract loot
As I see it, tiy have 3 main branches of friendslop. mass coop game (puzzle, adventure, etc), leathal company, ttt/prophunt likes
but I think deep down people actually like those, even if you were "to cool" for them when you had the chance to do them irl
Because of mecha chameleon, expect a lot of prophunt likes in the next 2-5 years
bigwalk might spawn a few puzzle variety likes
and you do just get fucking lost
it is so dark at night in big walk, that you will just wander aimlessly
or if you walk away from the party, it will take 10+ mins to find them again
co-op >>> pvp
with friends
or if you are spooky, I wwill literally see you, have confirmation you and regi are on the way (4 min distance) and you just never show up
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak it is so dark at night in big walk, that you will just wander aimlessly
yeah not alot of games do that anymore with darkness I think I was telling bopit about it
big walk does forced yap in the funniest way
one of the puzzles is just "you must sit in this room for 5/30 minutes
Max and I were talking about why Lethal works where a lot of the other copycats don't
and it does a good job managing downtime
while still giving you stakes
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak one of the puzzles is just "you must sit in this room for 5/30 minutes
Very funny and evil
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak one of the puzzles is just "you must sit in this room for 5/30 minutes
I'm still upset about this
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak one of the puzzles is just "you must sit in this room for 5/30 minutes
I was in both of those btw
the longer one was a postgame hard mode puzzle
I was in neither, funny as shit
I didn't know there was a 5
I think that one may have taken us longer than the 30 if I was there
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Max and I were talking about why Lethal works where a lot of the other copycats don't
Yea, theres plenty of "nothing is happening" time in LC where its fine to just blab. The game will always offer some kind of looming threat to lock in on despite that.
it was polu, syren, tiny, xbrox in the 5 iirc
my bad
I think friendslop is a perfect genre description despite retards getting mad at it
the same way people did for walking sim
friendslop is correct, it is different from coop
but I'm not ready to try to assign subcategories yet, give it a couple more years
I would not call it takes two friendslop
agree
minecraft hs done a lot of the popular game ideas first
not surprising

This happened in my voice chat last week and the guy got really upset about the -slop part. I dont get it.
slop was negative, then it became ironically used, now it is just a descriptor
quality slop is my favourite shitpost one
friend gem is like bullet heaven where I just think "fuck you, not calling it that"
