DUDE LETS PLAY THE LATEST STREAMER APPROVED FRIENDSLOP

HAHA IT IS SO WACKY AND RANDOM

GROUP HUG
LETS ALL TRAUMA SHARE AND FLUID BOND *NUZZLES U*

the ramblings of an utterly depressed friendless incel

yea I also have 0 friends and want to kill myself everyday but even I don't shitpost like this...

>>715514182 (OP)
I think my fav thing about this term is how assmad people get over it.

But it genuinely fits the description of these kind of games, there's no real gameplay to either of them(there's legit no reason to care a out any of the loot in these games) and they are carried by "being fun with friends" and wacky voip moments as your buddy dies and his voice cuts out.

If you have to be on voice chat with your buddy cracking jokes actively to make a game more fun, I'll give you a hint: it's not the game you're enjoying. Try playing friendslop solo and you'll see what I mean. You do not like these games.

The friend angle is stupid. They are just shallow games with no real gameplay that allow friends to troll each other/laugh at each other.

I can still go back to lethal company and have fun
stuff like Peak is just really boring
I have no desire to play it after beating it once

>>715514182 (OP)
you know OP if you didn't act like this, your "friends" might want to play with you.

You fuckers aren't watching me, are you?

If I play one of these will I make friends? Is that how people do that?

>>715514534
Nah there's been like 20 of this thread crying that games on the right have as much legitimacy as the game made by the roblox furfag on the left.
Whether that means high or no legitimacy is vague on purpose.

>>715514316
Yeah, I have friends and play with them every day, but these games are still shallow dogshit made for streamers to bait retards into buying them thinking the enjoyment they are seeing is genuine

>>715514495
Way to miss the point of Peak. It's not about the destination but the journey to get there. You think people who climbed Everest get bored because they did it once? Nah, they do it several times because the conditions aren't the same each time.

Modern gamers are so fucking retarded. Developers really turned normies into drooling retards with their solo focused no punishments type of games. You would think that the twooter tranny is not normie but oh boy he is. Only true gamers like games, normies are absolute haters

Why are people here so insecure?

You're not wrong, but it's an activity I can enjoy with my friends. It's getting close to 10 years since the last time I really enjoyed a multiplayer game. My buddies cracking jokes hasn't saved non-friendslop games for me

Look man I'm sorry to tell you this but that fun you had was fake artificial forced souless nu-fun. This is a serious hobby for elite gamers and if you didn't have fun the correct way then frankly you did not have FVN.

STOP BEING MEAN TO THE FRIENDSLOP STREAMER BAIT GAMES!!!!

I call this genre of posts "whineslop", it's sole purpose of existence is to whine about some irrelvant shit that nobody cares about

Lethal Company was the only good friendslop.

>>715514182 (OP)
Isnt the kids horror game with the funny looking robots the current streamer co-op game?

>>715516264
it is annoying being dragged through these short-lived rituals of games that, by definition, are only fun with friends by virtue of relying on tertiary human involvement.
effectively it creates a hollow half-measure genre of game industry catered exclusively to this phenomenon and we've rapidly reached the event horizon where all of them begin to generally feel and play the same

the issue is then watching your midwit retard companions eternally bounce with gleeful locusts whenever the next repainted themepark game comes out. an eternity of bread and circus where you always know the flavor of the rye and the performance of the night long before the curtains rise

it's about monotony, you motherfucker, and that shit sucks

Hmm...

>>715515919
It is. There's no value in it whatsoever. You can get the same experience playing pretend in the back yard.

It's childish and pathetic. Functioning adults don't spend time with their friends in such a stupid setting. They actually hang out with their friends.

theme parks are fun, I fail to see how that's supposed to be a bad thing

>>715516740

>>715514182 (OP)
I enjoyed left for a bit with my friends, it's alright.

>>715516868
Yes they do. There's an ESRB rating that legally dictates a game cannot be sold to a minor as well.
You're just grasping at straws at this point. Friendslop is for utter retards and the only argument is that anyone making such a claim must simply be mad. It's so retarded and pathetic that it's genuinely funny.
Children argue like this.

>>715514182 (OP)
I dismiss them since i don't have friends to play with and i get nervous about being pushed into talking to people on discord.

>>715516624
>it is annoying being dragged through
Who drags you through them?

>, by definition, are only fun with friends by virtue of relying on tertiary human involvement.
Again, what is bad about having fun with friends?
>effectively it creates a hollow half-measure genre of game industry catered exclusively to this phenomenon
Someone is selling a product that people enjoy in company of their friends. What is wrong with that? They're not advertised as single player games so everyone knows what they're getting into?
>and we've rapidly reached the event horizon where all of them begin to generally feel and play the same
That is just a normal effect of oversaturation that affects literally all of entertainment media. People always copy succesful concepts. Sometimes they improve on it but more often they're just derivative. This isn't inherent to games best played with friends. Open world games, survival indie metroidvania soulslikes and earhtbound like indie rpgs about depression are notable examples of a formula getting old.

>the issue is then watching your midwit retard companions eternally bounce with gleeful locusts whenever the next repainted themepark game comes out. an eternity of bread and circus where you always know the flavor of the rye and the performance of the night long before the curtains rise
Seems like you don't really like your friends and you should get new ones.

>it's about monotony, you motherfucker, and that shit sucks
as I said above, monotony is not inherent to "playing games with friends".

What I gathered from this post is that the market is currently just oversaturated by these types of games but there's inherently nothign wrong with them.

>>715515919
Explain to me what part of lethal or repos gameplay is fun that doesn't rely on you yelling stuff over the in game voip.

Even playing them with friends the gameplay was very boring imo.

>>715515358

>>715517337
>Things no one has ever said in the history of being non-trans

Why are people afraid to enjoy themselves?

>>715517068
nta, but for lethal company what I like is the sudden shift in tone. It is effectively just an excuse to talk with my friends in voip for a good chunk of the experience, but can very quickly devolve into a survival horror like experience of being alone and scared. I'm also a fan of spelunky and similar to that game I find the nature of dying tends to be a series of unfortunate events. It's fun to commiserate with you friends about it when you die or gives an great feeling of accomplishment when you survive.
That being said, my friend group tends to disagree about which games are fun. Some like Repo and just tolerate Lethal Company, some are the other way around. Personally I find Repo too boring, I'm never scared and just generally don't care. Some of my friends say Lethal Company is just unfair so they just check out and don't care. But overall, the friendgroup seems pretty okay with the concept of running into a room and collecting objects while talking in voip. Peak has unified us all though.

>>715517949
Well that anime is about killing your friends

>>715516740
Maybe this makes me a non-functioning adult, but "actually hanging out with friends" sucks or relies on alcohol. We talk about work, we gossip about people at work, we discuss stories of our child hood or interactions with our families. We're certainly bonding, but it's not a game. If it were socially acceptable to just play tag in the park with my friends as an adult I would pick that over the "acceptable" forms of interacting.
If I'm being honest, I think most people my age are supposed to have a few children by now. We're not supposed to hit our 30s with only adult friends, we're supposed to hit our 30s and start playing childish games with our kids. No one is supposed to "grow up" when it comes to entertainment, we're just supposed to direct the energy to people younger. But we all failed, so friendslop it is.

>>715514565
actually yes kind of, I am an always invisible never play with friends even if I add them kind of guy and I ended up with like a dozen 'friends' from lethal company, half of them women. I dont play with them but we had a laugh and they added me for future games (that have never happened)

>>715514396
This. I only ever see streamers playing it with other streamers.

making friends and cooperating with others is le bad and only le npcs do it

What always surprises me is the anger these games generates from non-players. It's like if you were playing some racing games and someone who doesn't like the genre starts screaming at you for playing.

>>715514416
I assume by context it means "farming friendship points with the people you play with" or something

>>715521471
Please. If what I'm saying is right, the conspiracy is bigger than Mossad.

>>715515919
There's a difference with normal coop games and friendslop. Games like Darktide and Borderlands can be played solo. You can enjoy the story alone. Having friends just enhances the experience. With friendslop, playing with friends IS the experience. You can play Content Warning solo, but unlike Darktide and Borderlands, the odds of you enjoying the solo experience is almost none.

STOP HAVING FUN

Friend slop is the video game equivalent of stand up comedians doing nothing but crowd work. It's not that hard to understand. People just pretend not to get it so they can make epic clapbacks because they dislike a buzzzword.

I like friendslop, it's fun. Recently my friends gifted me "peak" it was fun time

"Friendslop" is a great term because it denotes a specific subgenre of multiplayer games that are specifically designed to be picked up and thrown away for cheap because you're playing "with the boys" on mic.

Not all of them are slop (aka, low quality cash ins on popular concepts) but there are a lot of those. And even the better quality ones in the genre (ie Lethal Company) are not exactly the most high quality games out there.

>>715516264
At the core, nothing is wrong, but it isn't as simple as that. Literally anything is good with friends. You could all sit in a room and communally shit together and have fun.

This means that the games in this genre need to do very little to serve their purpose and as a result are easy to make and in turn, will be shit out in the dozens by countless low quality devs. Sometimes that's great and you get a genuinely fun idea that doesn't need more than that (The Headliners) but also for every one of those, you get 10 sets of absolute generic horseshit.

>>715518203
If you don't see someone in person 99.9% of the time, you are not friends with them, you are online acquaintances. Real friendship means putting in the effort to see them in real life. This is not a hard concept to grasp.

>n-nuh friends. h-haha no fwends!
no taste lmao

>>715514182 (OP)
These games are usually under ten bucks, if they grant a couple of evenings of fun with friends what's the problem
Never understand "fotm" as an insult, yeah no shit I don't want to play jumping rope with my friends till the end of times

>>715514182 (OP)
Not every game needs to be ICO or Shadow of the Colossus

>>715522826
Honestly out of all the "friendslop" games, Peak is probably the most fun. Too many of these types of games pretty much require having friends to make it fun, but Peak is pretty enjoyable solo when nobody else is around.

>>715523359
You're proving their point, loner

>>715516264
"Fun with friends" is a very dangerous genre. Because there are so many, far better "fun with friends" things you can do, depending on your friends.

The real problem with friendslop is the kind of "friend" it appeals to. The kind of friends who play this shit are the ones constantly trying to keep up with the latest zeitgeist, and they're the worst kind of friends you can have. I'm not saying playing Lethal Company once or twice is a bad thing, but if your "friends" are always down for these zero effort co-op titles, you need some better friends.

>>715523302
You don't necessarily have to see them in real life but a real test is if you lose in a game/play a different game besides friendslop
if they suddenly "have to go" when something goes bad or only want to play friendslop then they aren't your friends

It's not a joke, it's a thoroughly useful term to describe products of low quality. Troons, furries and gooners---the sort who made the games pictured in the OP---are only capable of producing slop.

Think the issue with these games is how disposable they are. I'll still hop into Left 4 Dead with dudes all these years later but who in the fuck will be playing Lethal Company in 5 years time? Difference is the former is still a good game that's fun to play whereas the latter isn't really fun at all. It's not the game you're enjoying it's just the company of friends, you lot could be doing anything else and still be having a good time.

>>715526595
We're talking about a generation of people whose response to being addressed in public is to stare blankly. Completely socially inept.

>>715526856
Aspiring indie dev here. How do I make a game that's fun by itself but also with friends, without a million dollar budget like Left 4 Dead? What do you guys want from a friendslop coop game?

>>715526856
People seem to still like lethal company. Decent modding scene. No idea about the other one. The real problem with these games isn't with them itself, but the dev team sizes and not being able to provide enough content to make a product with a large enough scope to stay interesting. There just really isn't a whole lot going on in the "friendslop" genre. The games just don't have enough variety, depth, or challenge to have real staying power. And a lot of that comes from having tiny dev teams who are incapable with keeping up with demand for new content.

>>715514416
You make a game that requires 3-5 friends to play. So you convince all of your friends to spend $10-20 on a early access game that will never get finished just to play it for a weekend

>>715527210
Devfag also, easiest thing would be to make the moment to moment gameplay enjoyable. L4D is still fun solo or with friends because at it's core it's a fun shooter with good level design and likeable characters. LC has none of that, the game itself is a slog to play and it relys solely on outside factors to be fun. I can see LC having more staying power if it was a great survival horror experience on it's own but it really isn't.

>>715515505
Humans are social creatures, being alone all the time is the result of decades of coordinated effort to make a class of asocial bugmen

>>715527210
For starters, you stop listening to buzzword spouting friendless autists on this board for advice. If you make a game thats <$10 and people enjoy it for a month or two with their friends, good enough

>>715514182 (OP)

Complaining about a coop game requiring friends to play is akin to "adult woman fetish".

>>715528660
Nice try, but I wont eat banana the fag way

Honestly, the claim of
>"it's fun with friends" is meaningless, you'd have fun with doing literally anything, so there's nothing special about these games
falls apart the minute you apply absolutely any logic to it. If it were true, then nobody would actually buy any of these games, let alone en masse. They wouldn't need to in order to have fun. The fact that people choose to play them regardless, to focus on any one specifically, inherently shows that the games have value tied specifically to their own gameplay and mechanics.

Can people just admit it's not that these games are bad but that you're tired of getting streamer/clip/meme content of it? We did this with Among Us 3 years ago.

lethal company fucking sucks nigger same with repo

>>715526856
don't really understand why you'd think that l4d, a 4 player co-op game that was innovative for the time but has been iterated on better since it came out, would suffer a different fate than LC

>>715514418

You're far too kind to your furfag "friends."

You should find joy in playing with your friends. Your inability to even understand that these ephemeral FOTM games are meant to be played/binged with friends then forgotten about leads me to believe you are simply friendless.

>>715522259
I think normal people just have trouble with the idea that the game is bad because it relies on playing with others/friends. Most normal people would go something like “oh that’s fine it’s like every other multiplayer game ever made.” But the people itt act kinda retarded.

>>715514182 (OP)
>people have fun playing with their friends
>this angers others for some reason
I think games like lethal company and repo are boring and would rather play something more engaging but come on

>>715529625
Yeah and if the original Doom or GTA3 came out today nobody would care most likely, point being? They were pioneers for their genres which caused plenty others to take their own spins on them. Even if better games have since came out people still go back to them and always will. People will remember the innovators, this isn't just a video games thing.

>>715529174
These retards will blame everything but their inability to filter shit they don’t want to see.

>>715532079
>these ephemeral FOTM games are meant to be played/binged with friends then forgotten about
Definition of slop, then. What more would you expect from a "genre" popularized by a furfag...

>>715532840
I’m glad that normal people enjoying cheap games for some laughs makes you seethe so much. There’s always a bigger loser out there.

>>715514182 (OP)
You faggots won't play anything that isn't approved by your favorite e-celeb anyway.

You sound like you'd be fun at a partnot

>>715533525
but ecelebs love these games because it's an easy way to get new viewers through collabs

>>715526856
Most games are not made to be played forever.
People that go back to play the same few hours of content repeatedly have an unnatural fixation or are simply too lazy to find something else to play.
Left 4 dead was fun but there is no fucking way you are running those same maps for the 50th time and having the same amount of enjoyment as the first few times.
Turning a game into a routine completely defeats the point and turns fun activities into boring ones.

I love friendslop. I play mostly with friends but lately I've been wanting to play with randos and talk to new people.
The best ones are coop ones, Raft was really fun. I thought Webfishing was really special too but it didn't really keep enough attention to build a good community.

>>715514182 (OP)
i like repo, its fun, also got me to reconnect with some highschool friends from over a decade ago.

>>715534904
Sometimes a game is just fun to play. You don't need an "unnatural fixation" to replay something you thought was fun. Saying that someone is lazy to find something else to play especially when talking about L4D is dumb because no other game does what that game does as well as it does.

>>715536115
>no other game does what that game does as well as it does
Case in point. You just got comfortable with one game and stopped looking.

Technically Jackbox and Gartic Phone are friendslop too, but some of the times in my entire life where I've laughed the hardest came from Jackbox.

>>715536290
Sure there's vermintide and darktide but when it comes to zombies what do you have? back 4 blood? lol

>>715536290
Oh I have, and even had fun with some other co-op shooters even. But every so often I'll just be in the mood for L4D every half year or so, and 9 times out of 10 if I ask any of my bros if they're down to play they nearly always are. I don't play it constantly but it's always a good time when I do.

>>715514268
/thread

>>715536623
I realised that first part is phrased weirdly, I mean that I have looked for other games like L4D. And while I've played other shooters similar to it, I never found anything to outright replace it.

>>715536409
Didn't /v/ have rooms for these games all the time years ago? What a bunch of hypocrites kek

>>715514182 (OP)
Most insufferable person I know reposted this in meme channel today.

whats the point of having mods if they dont delete garbage threads like this?

>>715521084
You should probably stop watching streamers

>>715536789
Still do. Maybe less so now that the brown takeover is complete and the board is more antisocial than ever, but they happen a lot

>>715526856
does it matter? these games are priced around $5. a $5 game doesnt need to be competing with AAA games for 5 years.

LC has its spooky moments which elevates the humor in a way. Repo has more polish but I dont ever remember having as many "Oh shit all my friends are dead and I can die any second" moments as I did in LC.

REPO feels really good to play and I enjoy it much more than lethal.
The only issue I have is that even though the game has massive amount CCU, there's not that many servers to play online with so making new friends is slow.
Meanwhile playing phasmophobia it's so damn easy to hop in a random lobby, have fun and end up with someone adding you to steam.

I'm sure this thread of seething /v/irgins will convince people and their friends that they aren't having fun actually.

>>715514396
i kinda started using it since it sounded funny and now i'm like
>New friendslop just dropped wanna play?

>>715514182 (OP)
Are you upset you don't have any friends to play these games with? Are you upset that these games you're excluded from are popular because others who do have friends enjoyed them?

>>715514406
>play a co-op game solo and it's not nearly as fun
Yeah no shit you colossal nigger, that's how it works.

this is what OP looks like

>>715520189
You haven't realized these idiots don't have friends?

By this threads retarded definition, every multiplayer game is friendslop.

>>715528868
Nah, you're missing the forest for the trees. Some games are better solo and having friends with you makes it a little more fun. These games are boring as fuck solo, but they're designed to be extremely wacky and fun with friends, hence friendslop. You're a retard.

i.e. literally every multiplayer game in existence and you single player tards are just uber jelly

>>715542378
What's wrong with a game being only fun with friends? This describes Jackbox and also 95% of board and card games

>>715514182 (OP)
I hate that these games exist and get popular not because I have any issue with the games themselves, but how they see. To eat away at the brain of any person who plays them, in the sense that people are just not willing to try a new game and actually give it a serious shot. I can't imagine playing a game and NOT trying to figure it our, like people actively avoid taking in or absorbing information, or using said information and them observing the effects on gameplay
Oh bro wanna play palworld? Oh bro play peak with me!! Oh bro play repo with me!!!!
PoE? Nah too complicated. Always will be. I don't have the ability to learn.
Halo campaigns co-op? Nah I've already played those one time 15 years ago so that invalidates any reason to replay
Pointless monotonous game with no progression or goal with FRIENDS to? Sign me UP LETS GO VALHEIM BROOOOS
Fucking hate flavor of the month

>>715514406
>coop game
>better with friends
No shit you colossal retard. I'll throw you a bone, both Lethal Company and Repo suck dick. Peak, however, is Peak.

>>715537212
Lethal Company is barely a game.

>>715514182 (OP)
Peak is really good friend slop btw. had my doubts.. but it's actually fun solo too for what it is lol.

>>715543359
There's nothing wrong with a game only being fun with friends. That other tranon was implying that these games are fun enough without friends, and I was correcting him.
