BIG YEETUS

[Cheez]

is it real or just a meme? and if its real, wut do u think about it?

[IShowFinance]

Pandering.

I think it is just a meme, but if it is real I think it will be a bad addition to the game, it will be more of an annoyance than anything else

This.

But it does seem to be a meme, and also something that will be added.

Don't care, wish they spent more time fixing the game instead of memeing

Well if you're a hater of team games you should really be supporting the idea!

Think about it, one big element that makes team-games a persistence in Fall Guys is the means to reduce the number of highly skilled players in finales, which is something that needs to be considered for casual player retention, which makes up the majority of the player base in so far.

Instead of this, design could focus on elements that add more RNG to solo games that can remove unattentive skilled players, but keeping agency to the point where they can get by if they focus.

A perfect way to achieve this would be Risk-Reward elements. Something that Big Yeetus seems to be gearing for. A skilled player could use a Big Yeetus jump to skip ahead of the pack but with a chance that they get hammered into a void if approached wrong. Sound familiar? *points to -that- fan in whirlygig*.

Its a RNG element that can eliminate skilled players...yet if they are eliminated, they can't complain about its fairness because it was they themselves that CHOSE to take that chance. If this is basically MT's way of trying to gear map design to lean towards more solo games, whilst keeping older maps fresh and minimise casual player falloff. Then, y'know, go for it.

It is in fact not real

the last time I played I got launched by a big yeetus in the first round lol

I really detest how hard the Fall Guys twitter panders to the "community". Big Yeetus, Chonkus Maiximus or whatever, it's all just got zero content and zero voice of its own.

They just are saying whatever the community wants to see them say so they can appear to stay "connected and engaged with their audience". It works for the younger ones but everyone else just sorta rolls their eyes.

The Fall Guys twitter isn't the worst video game twitter but it's one of the most transparently "fake" twitters out there - it really sorta hurts the appeal of the game.

The ones at the end of Slime Climb got me good the other day, while I was in first place with like a 5 second lead. Oops...

Please do not presume to speak for "everyone else" and self-proclaim a magical knowledge of age demographics that share an opinion.

So the "problem" is that they have fun with their fans? I'm not seeing how that's a problem, other than to be grumpy for the sake of it. What's so wrong about fun?

It's not about having "fun with their fans" it's that this brand of "fun" is the "How To Engage With Your Audience 101" level of fun. It's pandering and it has no voice of its own.

I'm not being grumpy, I'm being jaded because I've see countless Corporate Twitters try to do the same thing. They show up in a Music Band shirt going "Hey There Fellow Kids, Big Chungus, Eh? he he he :eyes:"

It just is tiring. I would prefer to hear what the team's sense of humor and joviality is outside of the boring takes of "lol big yeet" and "thiccus".

The messaging behind Fall Guys is selling the game short. It's a unique game with gameplay not found elsewhere, and if you go to the twitter it's all eyerollingly basic "Company Trying To Relate To Young People" talk.
