    Maybe just me, but I see the new outfits and it's like 'cool' the first time, then it's more 'meh' when you see everyone's got the same and I feel like going back to basic skin just to be different :D I certainly wouldn't ever pay a cent for a costume in a game

    You can tell what's in the shop each day when about a quarter of the players all have the same new outfit.

    I'm mostly just going to stick to normal bean, change up colours and patterns every now and again. Will keep an eye on if something really good shows up in shop though, considering I've about 15 crowns and 20k coins.

    Perfect Match is a bit crap. I feel like everybody gets through. I don't even pay attention to the tiles, just run where everybody else does.

    Edit: I love Limmy too...



    "Lead the way, dickheads..." has become my mantra for that level.

    Seen a surprising amount fail sometimes, especially I think getting confused between apples and oranges. Last round can be pretty dicey just because it might only be 3 squares. Definitely been one or two times where if a certain fruit came up I just wouldn't have made it to one.

    That said, for the most part it's just boring.

    Haha, Limmy, love seeing him rage :D

    If I could manage to win some rounds I'd probably buy some more outfits [got a few already like the duck and pigeon] but yeah, I mostly end up going plain, nobody pays much heed to ya because they think you're a noob. I'm that guy though, forever the finalist ... never the champ :/

    Same haha only won my first game after about 25 hours playtime there yesterday in about 7 or 8 finals a day they new final seems like something i might be able to win a bit more.

    This might be a stupid question... but when you jump for the crown, do you have to use the grab button?

    Yes. Caused a lot of people to miss it in the first few days. Also, as the crown goes up and down, dont always jump immediately when you get to the top. Make sure while running up to it that it'll be within reach when you jump. Its often better to wait for the right chance. Me and another guy reached the top with him right in front of me. Both of us paused for a second as the crown was rising and as soon as it started lowering he jumped for it, but it was still too high. That extra second meant I had an easy win.

    Well, it says that you've to grab it at the loading screen and info box before the level starts. Think that's how I won it the first time, the person there just before me jumped at it, hit it and fell, and I grabbed it and won.

    Must say, I do like the Solid Snake skin. Waiting on a Jin Sakai one!

    It would take something special for me to fork out a couple euro for a skin. But, if they really want to get people paying up then the likes of - Link, Geralt, Sonic, Pac-Man, any main SW character and the Avengers/Marvel characters would get them spinning I reckon.

    I just hate the whole idea of paid skins in games. I see people using them and all I think is 'P2W noob' rather than how good they seem to be

    When grabbing eggs, do you just need to tap R2 or do you have to hold it? And also can you throw them? If so, how? By jumping and diving?

    Hold it.

    The best way to throw the eggs to jump and release hold at the same time and your momentum will launch the egg.

    Thats generally how i play that mode i sit in an opponents egg basket area and jump and release hold from the bottom of the stairs so you never need to actually walk up them,if you get the rhythm down you can thrown them out of the area where one of the teams will pick them up hopefully.

    It's RT on an xbox controller for PC at least, and you can throw them by jumping and diving but you also have to release [mid dive, takes some practice]

    Played the new Jump Showdown twice. Anyone else notice the camera swinging around by itself randomly in that mode?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Did brilliant earlier, aced every level and then the final was 6 of us chasing 1 tail, was ****ing stupid. Team game of it isn't too bad.... for a team game but as a final, it can **** right off.

    The fact that it's so quick to get back into a game and having fun again makes this a genius game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    I'm getting that ol' feeling I got from other games now ... a bit of performance anxiety :eek: Like I'll think to myself, what's the point? I never win ... :mad:

    I don't want it to become one of those traps, I had that in the past with world of tanks - it was fun to start, then people started to bring up stats and win rate and suddenly you felt like a right pleb because you were below 50% WR. Will this happen with FG? if you're under a certain amount of wins you're just a continuous noob? I hope they don't introduce in game player stats for a while yet at least. For now nobody knows I can't win a game until I tell them :D

    Got another couple of wins this evening - once on my first go on Jump Showdown, then finally got a win on Hexagone.

    Seems to be a good bit of luck involved with Jump Showdown, I just stayed where I started and kept jumping over the beam. The two sections either side of me fell away and I was on my own on one section, then there 3 others on the other side, and my section dropped last. Hexagone was a satisfying one as I've been on that several times and came close.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,235 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Yeah, pretty disastrous night. Not sure if I'm a fan of the randomness of Jump Showdown platforms falling away. As poster above says, if you pick the wrong choice you're screwed but it's completely out of your hands and removes any skill from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Laggy as **** tonight

    Still got the win, **** lag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Feels like the skill ceiling isn't high enough for some of the game modes. Some of the stages are literally run forward and hope a 200mph ball doesn't make you lose the game.

    Had to refund it

    That is half the attraction of the game tbh everyone has a decent shot regardless of skill,BR's are pretty competitive and try hard this is a breath of fresh air in the genre thats super popular hopefully we see similar devs try a more casual non shooter BR

    Was never very adept at any BR and they get frustrating getting killed by some arse hole camping in corner for half an hour.This i can pick up for an hour have a laugh make a few finals and not feel i just wasted my time dying a few minutes into each game and queuing again.

    Obviously everyones different but the casual low skill nature is why it has taken off imo.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,294 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    I really enjoyed this at the start but it quickly became repetitive. The team games are also very annoying, I actually quit a few times during tail tag in R2.

    It's definitely a game for playing 2 or 3 rounds and then onto something else.

    If the tail games come up, single or team, I can't even be arsed to be honest. They're awful. Does anyone like them?

    They're hit and miss for me. The team one is pretty awful, as is the Jinx team one. The solo tail one where there's maybe 20 or so players can be alright, but there's almost no point doing anything for the first minute and then just go after one in the last 30 seconds. The final round one with only one tail is very dependent on how many players are in it. Less than 5 it's almost impossible to catch the player with the tail. More than that and it's okay.

    On the whole though, the grab mechanic itself needs work for any of those modes to be successful, and right now it's still flimsy as f*ck.

    It's just a party game. The kind you play with friends with some drunkeness possibly. It lends itself very well to streamers so that has probably boosted it well beyond what it normally would attract.

    I played it for free from a family shared account. Played about 3 games and was already done with it. For a game with such friendly asthetics it's actually unbelievably frustrating to play. I've played some competitive games like CSGO and Tekken 7 but never felt the frustration I did with this. There's so much luck involved and things outside of your control. Doesn't feel good to play. Glad I didn't have to pay a cent for it.

    I agree with everything you've said, but as far as I'm aware, the skins will be special items at x cost, which you can earn in game. The problem would be not having enough for that costume if it's on a special timer. But I'd imagine the branded ones will be permanent in the store but just cost a lot of the in game currency/crowns (wins). And of course you can buy the currency with real money, but you don't have to. I don't mind that way of doing it.
    I'm getting that ol' feeling I got from other games now ... a bit of performance anxiety :eek: Like I'll think to myself, what's the point? I never win ... :mad:

    I had to try and explain this game to my nephew. He's autistic and can get very upset when something doesn't go the way he expects/wants it to, so to try and convince him it's not about the winning, it's just about playing and enjoying what you're doing, and if you win, great, if not, try again. Hope it got through, but you're right, people will lose the rag over this game!

    I can see the appeal but it's just not for me. Downloaded it but yet to launch it, anytime I think of doing it I just can't engineer any enthusiasm to do so. Maybe I'm too old to have fun anymore.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    I really liked the idea of this game in principle. It’s essentially Takeshi’s Castle ffs!

    And I see the appeal of the game for younger people or drunken parties but there’s too many things outside of my control to make it fun.

    Like what’s the deal with having a team football game in there when you have to rely on two others.

    Fair enough if the whole thing was team based but it’s not. So I can take responsibility for my own errors of judgement but then all my good work is erased by two numpties.

    Just too frustrating. I’ll stick to Apex Legends with mates.

    Make no mistake though this game will make a LOT of money.

    This is definitely the games biggest downfall. You can spend ten minutes getting to R3/4 and end up on a useless team where it's literally impossible for you to get through.

    It would be great if they could introduce an option to turn off team games. I would definitely play it more then.

    Surely this will happen in the future! Its my only real gripe with the game. I generally really enjoy it, dont have much time for gaming these days unfortunately so this is ideal when I do have a spare half hour to jump in and play something.



    Having an all solo mode would def increase my enjoyment of it though, as others have said its infuriating getting to round 4 only to be let down by a load of useless teammates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    I think I'm over this one already, it was fun to stick on for an hour here and there but it actually feels like a chore now. The music irritates the hell out of me, and once the silly/cutsey factor blows over and you realise everyone is actually try harding in this game it doesn't feel fun anymore [for me at least, some probably still loving it] I also really dislike that for a SP game, you have to rely on others to do well - one round with one bad team and you're done, this can happen a few games in a row and there's that session ruined. It can feel you've just wasted that hour or two.

    I'll check back when they release any new content, I mean I did predict that I would get bored of it fast, shame I was so right.

    All sounds reasonable. They need to fix lag though because it f*cked me over twice last night.

    God, that bit!! I must have had 10 games of slime climb and only once this morning got past it!

    On the whole I’m loving this game. Easy to jump into, the missus loves it(currently p*ssing herself laughing in a game right now) and my niece and nephew are in lockdown in Kildare so was great to have an hour this afternoon to play it with them. Team games are also way more fun with people you know on your team!

    It can be annoying when you miss out because of lag or a crap team or something, but it’s like MarioKart, where there’s enough randomness where everyone can jump in and have a possibility to win, so just enjoying it is as important as trying to win every game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    They need more games and I would like to see a roulette wheel of stages and the most people that press the button on the stage they want that is the next stage played.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,235 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    4 games last night, made it to final round in each.

    First Fall Mountain, I mistimed my jump for the crown and lost. My mistake.

    Second Fall Mountain, went to jump for the crown and guy behind me grabbed me causing me to fall short. Annoying, but had to laugh.

    Third Fall Mountain (just random luck that FM had been final round each time so far), me and guy jumped at same time and even though I was clearly in front of him a little, he got it (I'm presuming lag is why he looked to be behind me).

    Fourth time, server disconnected before final round could load.

    So not a productive night by any metric.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,188 ✭✭✭McFly85


    Few games this morning, and finally got my first win! Was in the one where you have to be the last one with the tail. Was a bit lucky, 5 in the final piled on top of eachother and I came out with it. The lag on this one can be annoying, earlier a guy grabbed the tail off me while he looked to be a good bit away, and I could be right next to the person and I can’t grab anything!

    And while I don’t mind team games even though you can be ruined with a crap team, had a game of the football one with 9 people so the other team got the man advantage and we got destroyed. I hope they patch it so those kind of games have to have an even number for that game to be picked so you don’t feel like it’s pointless from the first second.

    They are. Patch this week will mean no team games if theres an uneven number of players. Dont know why they make it so say 43 players advance to the next round. 42 is divisible by 2 and 3, or 40 by 2 and 4 so they could have any team game after that. Or 19 players etc. Must be random but doesn't need to be.

    They're also going to fix the camera movements in Jump Showdown thankfully. That one really annoyed me.

    Three games in a row tonight where after the first few rounds whittled us down to 8 players we ended up in a game of Fall Ball. Just go straight to the final round once it's 10 players or less left. Going through Fall Ball at that stage is just a waste of time and always means you end up with Royal Fumble as the last round which, with fewer than 5 players, is just awful.
