What the fuck is friendslop? A co-op game?

>>715912737
Yeah it’s a co-op game that isn’t fun with randoms.

it's flavor of the month friendslop

The proliferation of the word slop has been a fucking disaster. When someone says slop, you can safely dismiss all of their opinions

>slop slop slop slop slop

>>715912590 (OP)
Feel like we get a new "great indie success" every other month

Streamerbait would be a better name

Buzzwordslop

>>715912737
low effort coop game with minimal mechanics that relies on the players to make their own fun, usually indie, requires having friends who shout about inane shit happening in-game to be entertaining
Youtube shorts/tiktok bait, and dead within 3-6 months

>>715912861
wtf... rollslop hating /v/ros... our response?

>>715912910
Probably because there are a lot of good indie games coming out.

>>715912861
>>715912878
You only have yourself to blame

>>715912737
Minimum viable product, co-op edition. Basically the designers are banking on the game being fun enough with friends to skimp by with a pretty basic loop.

'Friendslop' is a bit cynical for my taste but I kinda see where people are coming from. These games weren't nearly as prolific before Lethal Company hit it really big and all the copycats started crawling out of the woodwork for their slice of the pie.

>>715912737
A word use by people with friends

>>715912737
yes, it’s a term friendless faggots came up with

A more accurate term is streamerslop.

Games made to be played by streamers/youtubers so their goy fanbase buy the game in hopes of being like thier friend simulators.

>>715912948
This

>>715912737
friendslop is the genA term for "its fun with friends", a term used to defend 6/10 games

No. Peak will be forgotten like every other streambait FOMO game.

it's literally shitllennials propagating the buzzword though

Peak is fun.

>>715912737
It's a term used by people who cry on 4tran about not having friends.

>>715912737
Its a term used by bitter friendless people

>youtubers using 4chan lingo
when did became acceptable?

>>715918702
Friendslop is a twitter term.

>>715918180
It isn’t

>>715918767
-slop came from goyslop which was a /pol/ term that got sanitized for normalfags

>>715918995
And friendslop was made by a twittertroon.

>>715918995
Slop came from sloppa ackshually.
Polcels expose themselves yet again as twitter secondaries.

>>715912878
>SLOP SLOP SLOP SLOP
>GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANT GET PREGNANT

>>715912737
Friendslop as I understand it are games where it's ONLY fun with friends and it was made with that only in mind. Something like Phasmophobia but even more reliant on you playing with friends. It's an even more specific iteration of a co-op game.

>>715919139
The Youtuber Pyrocynical is credited in making slop mainstream as its most widely known use before that was indeed /pol/'s use of goyslop to refer to mostly US-based goods and media.

>>715918886
It is.

>>715920346
And /ck/ used the term sloppa before a poltranny ever said goyslop.

>>715912861
Slop is the slop derivative of goyslop to be kosher made for the slop masses.

>>715920619

>>715920598

>>715912737
Cheap indie co-op game that banks heavily on moments that go "viral" on social media that will hopefully sucker at least one person in a friend group to buy the game and then shill it to the rest of his friends

>>715912737
lethal company-likes or whatever you want to call them if you don't like friendslop
it's these shitty indie games that would be excruciatingly boring if played by yourself and the only entertainment comes from playing them with friends

>>715920732
>>715920769
Why are people here so mad that people like spending time with their friends?

>>715918702
>He thinks 4chan coined the term and its not the other way around.
Its not 2012 anymore man, 4chan isn't at the forefront of creativity and with how often eceleb threads pop up you should know the term came from there first

>>715920874
Because my friend group used to play real games and now all they want to do is play the reddit friendslop flavor of the month

>>715912861
It's okay we're about a year early before the normalfags adopt calling each other jeets like /v/ does today.

>>715920874
who's mad? I just get annoyed when my friends want me to throw money down the drain on these boring ass games we'll play for a week tops

Peak is actually fun.

>>715912590 (OP)
funny how every 4ch meme becomes mainstream

>>715920949
Awww got anymore buzzwords?

>>715921027
>twittertranny meme
>4tran
Actually yeah checks out

I think friendslop games are a good, albeit short term way to bond with people online.

>>715921046
>no argument
You asked, I answered. These games are very much "flavors of the month" that get shilled by reddit. Every month it's some new low effort indie co op shit that's going viral, and then the next month it's dead.

>>715920598
Sloppa had a completely different use case

>>715921165
How fucking dare you want to do something fun for an afternoon with your friends, don't you know /v/ will judge you for it?

Purple kingberries are better than honeycomb.

>>715920598
Sloppa was more of the use of the word of itself, which is slop, it was never used as an exploitable suffix. Unlike goyslop or kurwaslop or krautslop

>>715912590 (OP)
if l4d2 came out in 2025 you people would be calling it friendslop

>>715921165
Why the fuck would you be playing video games with friends? Don't normalfags prefer going out and drink at pubs or something?

>>715920598
>Stealing existing words/creative efforts and ruining for a radicalized meme version
yep, that's our /pol/

>>715921117
why dont you stop stealing 4chan memes and come up with anything original, tourist

>>715921484
L4D is played best with randoms rather than your friends trying to do the best possible strat available. Same goes with any other shooter.

>>715921269
>>715921443
Still came first poltrannies.
>>715921526
Hilarious coming from a poltranny stealing /ck/ terminology

>>715912861
It perfectly describes what is going on in the industry. The concept predates the popularity of the word, people knew there was something about those games but couldn't put it into words.

No, you're just a faggot who doesn't understand what "friendslop" means despite there being multiple good definitions in this very thread.

>>715921009
>we'll play for a week tops
hey that's a lot! I got baited into buying two of these games by my friends and we played them 1 day each
never again

>>715920949
>because my friend used to play [games they played until they got tired of them] and now all they want to do is play [new games until they get tired of them]
oh noooooooooooo, how could friendslop do this.......................

NOOO YOU CANT PLAY A 10 DOLLAR GAME FOR 6 HOURS WITH YOUR FRIENDS THEN NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN

>>715912806
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANNOT HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy! Streamer FOTM game!

>>715921952
"FOTM" is my favourite /v/ cope. I hope you have never stopped playing a single game you have ever purchased.

Threadly reminder that so many anons call these "streamer games" because that's the only way they're ever able to interact with or observe them, due to being friendless.

I have buzzword fatigue...

Friendslop screams
>I don't have friends to play this with

>>715912861
I'll give a pass to AI slop but everything else can fuck off.

>>715922184
>>715922237
>HAHA YOU DON'T HAVE FRIENDS LMAOOOOO
Where do you faggots think you are?

>>715922205
"Fatigue" itself has become a buzzword, retard

>>715922663
No...

>>715922479
Hanging out with my friends.

>NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST HANG OUT AND PLAY GAMES WITH PEOPLE YOU LIKE
Most pathetic thread on /v/ now.

>>715912590 (OP)
Objectively he's right
it's a success
and it's a fun game

>>715922171
Not a single year has passed without me replaying HL2, Endless Space 2, Furi, Civ 4/5, Fear, Mount and blade at least once, but by all means keep buying shit every month because your streamer "friend" told you its the greatest game ever

>>715924237
Notice how you stopped playing them.
FOTM slop.

>>715912590 (OP)
>Tfw my only friend already played through this with his other friends

It never even began for me

>normies stealing the goyslop meme without the goy

>>715912590 (OP)
Just wanna say this game is also pretty fun solo. It takes more care without friends though.

>>715912590 (OP)
>no no no THIS one isn't friendslop but all the past ones and futures ones le are!!
least obvious shill

>all the friendfags triggered ITT
friends are for women and insecure numales

That's only 6 good games a year. Disheartening.

i dunno im not going to play that game or watch that video
can we talk about something else?

>>715912806
So Left 4 Dead is friendslop?

>>715912737
games where the actual gameplay is pretty shallow and all the fun comes from interactions between players
content warning demonstrated this, they literally gave it away for free because they knew that all the free marketing from streams would make it pay for itself in the long run

>>715912861
unc-core post

Did they release those key arts in higher res? The stream only loads at 720p for me for some reason.

it's sad to see discourse as a whole genuinely affected by the retarded13 year old mouthbreathers on this site who come up with this shit

>>715912737
As others have said, it is a game that is generally low effort and wouldn't be fun on its own but because you're playing with friends and they can die (or you can kill them) it naturally just makes you laugh and you associate that with the game itself.
It is less about the games being irredeemable trash, and more about them just relying heavily on the fact that you're playing with people you like to make the experience tolerable. Another example could be board games:
Candyland is literally not a game. There are no choices made. There is nothing you can do. Upon the deck being shuffled the winner is determined and no one knows until someone wins. There is no skill. If you played this with your friends and took a shot every time someone drew a certain color, you'd probably end up having fun. Would that make candyland a good game? Absolutely not. This is the most extreme example.
Compare that to another decent or highly rated game. Quacks of Quedlinburg, Dominion, Pandemic, Spirit Isle. These are games that are genuinely good and fun. If played with friends they are an EXTREMELY good experience as you have the benefits of a good game AND a good set of people to play with. However, these games are fun even with acquaintances or even well meaning strangers. As long as someone is not actively a huge asshole, you'll probably still have fun.
That is the difference between a good game that is co-operative and a game that is just "friendslop".

No Peak fucking sucks it's the worst entry in the friendslop genre

I've only played Peak solo and it's still fun.
