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. Spooky Phijkchu Max and I were talking about why Lethal works where a lot of the other copycats don't

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:14 PM games

Mostly due to the drastic difference in time

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:14 PM games

Very funny and evil Phijkchu_Pikachu one of the puzzles is just "you must sit in this room for 5/30 minutes

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:13 PM games

Or youre standing on the doorway exit with your dick in your hand

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:13 PM games

I guess the difference in LC is youre not lost for 10 minutes, your probably dead in like 5

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:12 PM games

I started playing MTG with friends recently, its just a nice time killer to chat over tbh. I like to imagine part of the padding in some things that grind progress to a halt are just artifical ways to allow more "chill yap mode" shit

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:11 PM games

I liked PvP slop, but theres too many hoops you need to jump through to enjoy it with friends (relatively same skill level, same desire to bash head into wall, etc)

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:10 PM games

I never picked up Mecha despite it looking fun, i saw it had a horrible breach in data when you played online though

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:01 PM games

I assumed it was just friends wander around to solve puzzles

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 6:00 PM games

That good?

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:57 PM games

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

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:46 PM games

Yea, you can release the most barebones product possible and as long as you slap some esports/ranked on it then itll be taken "seriously" taxes i just think that the fact pve is much harder to do and its much easier to push out a ladder and competative angle that pvp does well

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:36 PM games

Because you vocally stink up the entire call

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:35 PM games

Games like this are also really really fucking annoying to play if youre in a VC Spooky Phijkchu I mostly just get tired of sweaty pvp FPS's, if I can have fun and its not discouraged then I'm into it but if I'm expected to sit somewhere and make callouts to the rest of the team I'll need a group I like to play with to

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:34 PM games

Fighting games are simply not popular outside of random hits like Dragon Ball or SF6 (exclusive to JP)

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:34 PM games

Which also makes 2xko more baffling

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:34 PM games

Its the nature of the genre, so I get its a hard to give incentives for people to stick around

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:33 PM games

Though, there still isnt a way to enjoy the game unless youre ready to sweat

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:33 PM games

I dont mind a dumb/fisher price version of comp games. Rivals of Aether 2 is a simpler version of SSBM. Which is great, melee is a game that requires you to bust your hands

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:32 PM games

There's never really a chance to just have fun in a game

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:31 PM games

Every game made needs to generate 1 gorillian dollars + esports circuit

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:31 PM games

This is kind of what I meant when I said "fun modes"

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:31 PM games

^ Polar_ I swear if more fighting games added "fun modes" outside of the generic fighting game arcade/survival mode theyd be more accessible. Instead accessible in FG terms means auto combos and simple inputs

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:25 PM games

That is only one ultimate, youre going to have to eat like 3 other things + walls + flash

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:24 PM games

Theres a guy in Valorant who's ultimate is Kunka Aghs for example

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:24 PM games

My main issue with Valo is inevitable power creep of agent skills, and visual clutter and cc in a shooter are very very annoying.

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:23 PM games

The tag fighter market obviously shifted, Marvel Tokon is out now and has its own issues. Tokon does solve some of the issues that casual players have with team games

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:22 PM games

I will say, I give Riot some props. While they did ape the idea, the two markets were relatively low competition. There really wasnt any alternative to CS at the time Valorant launched. 2XKO released during a big drought of Team Fighters with the only exclusion being Dragon Ball (Marvel vs Capcom Infinite died before l

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:16 PM games

Real. I forget which company makes Wuwa, but they just copy whatever Hoyo puts out. Hoyo themselves are also just copying

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:14 PM games

They were also, the first that I know of, who did their beta keys through twitch drops. Which means tons of people were botting streams for codes. Which was just free marketing boost.

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:14 PM games

Valo I think got very lucky due to it also being a pandemic era launch

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:13 PM games

We can only ape

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:13 PM games

Impossible, the company is chinese and has been for a long time taxes instead of just copying shit

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:13 PM games

I was just going to say, if Valve and the chinese guy who made autochess came to an agreement I wonder if TFT would've taken off as much

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:12 PM games

TFT is literally part of the client even now, so I agree

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:10 PM games

Valorant survives by being an E-dater app, cant convince me otherwise

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:09 PM games

I swear if more fighting games added "fun modes" outside of the generic fighting game arcade/survival mode theyd be more accessible. Instead accessible in FG terms means auto combos and simple inputs taxes the best way to do this is to make the base very very simple and then add a ton of features that require certian i

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:08 PM games

Tbf, this was inevitable, Riot saw the week 1 numbers and fired half of the staff.

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:08 PM games

It didnt go hard enough to garner a hard-core fgc fan base, but was still too complex/fucked up to have casuals stick around

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:07 PM games

I also dont thing Tag games in any regard are new player friendly, excluding the fact that you could play with a duo

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:06 PM games

If it wanted a casual audience it needed to have like 40 characters on launch and not the like 11 or so it had

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:06 PM games

The game could not answer the question of "who is this for" at any point

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 5:06 PM games

Exlcuding SF6 which seemingly has JP people by the balls, i agree.

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 4:00 PM games

8 months after launch btw

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 3:59 PM games

literally

China is cursed, they all drowned in groups Spooky Phijkchu where the fuck are all the CN teams

Polar_ Aug 20, 2026 1:23 PM games

I want to see WR pick/win%
