During the clip of Pres' video, I fucked up the video and overlaped clips. You can really tell that I'm not feeling any better... GO WATCH THE VIDEO AFTER THIS ONE BEFORE CRYING ABOUT ME HATING ON THE GAME! It's really not that deep. Mintpickers
Microtransactions, the characters, AI Art, Modern Square Enix is fumbling…that merger did nothing to help. quick edit: Square is also known for going out of the JRPG field to make actual garbage mobile games, and other “ventures into new ideas.”
Back when Foamstars was announced I predicted 3 very particular things: - Shameless free to play live service (half correct, live service and dropping free on PS in the first month) - Overpriced cosmetic microtransactions (got that right it seems LMAO) - Battle passes!!!! (They have a season pass thing but idk if it's an actual battle pass or not and I'm not getting the game to find out) It's amusing how easily I could predict all of this
Honestly I don't mind battlepasses and f2p games as long as they're done right [like Fortnite, while there are cosmetics in the item shop, the battlepass is pretty easy to do, and you can get more vbucks back than you paid for!], but as for Foamstars, I won't be playing it as they've used AI image generation, which I don't support. Hopefully competition can help Nintendo make Splatoon stronger lol, as I live and breathe it lmaoo, although I do play other games like Fortnite and Deep Rock a bit more often now lol!
@@pls_stap_ I do get this, and with the modern gaming environment battle passes are kinda an inevitability in most online games, like it or not (even Splatoon 3 has a battlepass-akin system in it, abeit free). But like Foamstars feels like SEnix saw the possible microtransaction money from Splatoon left untapped on the table (because Nintendo refuses to do that in full priced games even still) and were like “we want a slice of that”. I do think there was a world where it could've been done right, like Fortnite obviously. But Fortnite is just one of the few obscene successes vs the likely hundreds of failed live services at this point lol And of course yeah one of the reasons I won't be supporting them even as a joke is the AI art thing, it's almost straight up parody at this point that the knock off of Splatoon, a game series built off creativity and expression, would use AI generation. The jokes write themselves
I really do hate how often Nintendo comes up with something super unique and gamechanging, only for other studious to then take that idea and create cheap imitations to try and ride the hype. They just cannot come up with something original themselves.
If there's one good thing I can say about Foamstars, is that it really made me appreciate Splatoon more than I did before, including stuff I took for granted. (Like having a single player campaign at launch that you can play without having to be connected to the online server)
13:51 in my opinion there can also be people who are straight and also play splatoon at the same time, Ik it’s harmless but i just don’t think splatoon is only for non-straight people, sorry for yapping i am *SO SORRY FOR THAT*
40 DOLLARS?? My cod, that’s way too much. And the skins like like dogshit too? Please wake up 😭 Foamstars is SO shameless it’s actually tragic. Can’t help but feel bad. As an artist myself, learning that Foamstars used AI art in the game hurts me on a new level. I’m not even going to go into why I hate AI so much, because you’d probably already know why 😭 Can’t wait for this game to come out and flop. I’ll be watching 🥰
And they probably *did* use AI. The outfits look aggressively generic. Based on what they said about the AI album art and songs, they see this as innovative meanwhile they are just sucking the flavour out of their own game and obliterating any potential it had to be decent.
@@Moo-a-gains exactly ugh! “Only for the album covers” yeah sure. I believe that. (Sarcasm.) I’ve said this before, but it’s so ironic that they choose to copy splatoon and then use AI. Splatoon is all about creativity 😭 that’s one thing they failed to copy
Me and my friends have been having a fun time with the game so far, and while it does have its problems I’m hoping they don’t give up on updating it. The game should exist along side Splatoon as another option for people who don’t play switch and to add competition in this more niche genre.
As for the costume prices, to mention ANOTHER game that is compared to Splatoon, Ninjala has Battle Passes that uses an in-game currency. The maximum price would be around $20. Yeah, there's not many customizations in the recent Passes due to the clutter of Gum Lab and the Fishing Minigame, but you at least have to EARN the rewards to somewhat justify its price.
Those prices are insane. And I thought Epic Games was bad! Now I'm just thankful that they don't do this. Another infuriating thing is that you have to buy the pass with straight up money. No special currency that you can use to earn it, you gotta get out your wallet. Rubber Duck Battle is straight up tower control but more frustrating. Just go play actual tower control. You'll get nearly the same experience and you'll save yourself a headache. Other than these and a few other things, Foamstars is kinda fun. It's no Splatoon, but it's something you can pull out and have fun with if you're getting bored of Splatoon. I'm really enjoying all of the characters's personalities and the actual unique modes are pretty decent. That's not gonna make me spend 40-50 bucks on a skin pack though.
Im getting bored of splatoon. Got my 3rd five star weapon and lost my motivation. I might need to get foam stars just to try something different. Even Halo is looking more fun atm
"Foamstars is trying to do what splatoon did but put its own spin on it" Thats... how inspiration works. You take from another thing and put your own spin on it
2 things: first, the character prices are INSANE. Like for the price of ONE character in foamstars, i could get both a 1 year subscription to NSO, and splatoon 3s Dlc. Second, the game doesnt seem visualy appealing at all, even in the trailers, i was confused at what was happening due to the contrast of the dark skybox and bright colors
Not a bad video by any means but you only touched on comparisons but there really are differences. I love splatoon to death but Nintendo’s take on online gaming is just not my cup of time so im grateful for this opportunity to have “splatoon at home”
@@Fryethusiast I saw and left a comment there too. Overall Splatoon is far superior, it’s not even close. I do have hope though because i’ll never see Splatoon on PS5. Square doesn’t know how to do live service aside from mmos either. I just hope everyone grabs it while it’s free because I can’t see anyone paying $30 for this.
Hopefully you'll be better soon and if TH-cam is stressing you I advise you to take a small break from it as it is not worth being stressed from. I felt bad mentally in the past to and taking a break from it helped me a lot. And about the foamstars thing, I have not heard of it until now but from the looks of it, yeah it's very obviously a shameless ripoff.
Bro. Take. A. Break. It's fine. We'll still be here. Also if they don't come back are they really true fans? Probably not. You want true fans by your side that are willing to wait when you need a break.
@@Fryethusiast my main complaint is pvp with so much foam and how it stack it hard to see anything enemy's my health my teammates. I know it just released but they should really do a LOT of Changes.
@lazyfox3871 I don't like how floaty the foam is and how long it takes to actually lay on the ground for me to surf on. It's also really hard to tell what's going on sometimes because the foam is so obstructive
To be honest i was happy this game was gonna come out because there will be competition and Nintendo will add more updates to be better than the competition but i don’t think you need updates to beat this…
I just wanna go over pres' video, just to point out some things that splatoon doesnt own as a concept/ didnt even make. Splatoon did not make miniguns. Splatoon does not own the concept of cities (what??) Spatoon does not own the idea of rockets (the rocket launcher didnt even look the same) Splatoon does not own the concept of rocket launchers Splatoon does not own the concept of a push the payload mode Those are just the things i noticed before the editing went bad Idek how people think these things. Like, splatoon didnt come up with anything i just mentioned. Yet people say that these things are proof of Foamstars copying splatoon.
Foamstars is even imitating splatoon outside of the game. I Mean, they fucked up a translation on a tweet and misspelled their own name. Not as drastic as the storm/squeezer mistranslation, but still close enough. Oh yeah, and from what I’ve heard, there’s also an UNGODLY amount of DC’s and communication errors. Are they even trying to hide this?
yeah cuz god forbid you make a game similar to another game. These fanboys always get pressed over non nintendo titles. "oh no some random company 'copied' my glorious king nintendo. Grrrrrrr i need to express my anger with a video they wont even watch." Its all bs. Open yall small mind.
A valid point you got there, I'll have to agree with ya. BUT using those slangs make you lose the argument and also look very childish. Do better next time.
@@BakedCalamarihonestly lmao, if I like resident evil and I’ve played them all and I still have that itch then I’d give other third person survival horror games. These people really are weird, I’ll never get people defending Nintendo of all companies
@@Carlisle-mn3fvFr you see Souls fans, for example, abaolutly gushing for them Soulslike games no matter if its from Fromsoft, meanwhile Splatfans feeling threatened by a game that is alike Splatoon but absolutly not the same. I'm tellin ya, the gamemodes in Foam got me more convinced. Actualy controllergripping clutch gameplay.
What I find interesting is that there are games out there that are by an EXTREME AMOUNT similar as hell to each other but nobody bats an eye, for instance, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, those have games that are pretty much mirroring them, now that Splatoon has another game that is Mirroring it all of the sudden EVERYONE and I MEAN 99% of the community is taking that as some sort of... An evil and malicious threat against not only them as a community but Splatoon itself. Society today would pretty much get mad at anything these days. I honestly think it's good that Foamstars exists because this allows Splatoon to flourish and succeed even more while at the same time, people can have fun playing Foamstars because I KNOW for a fact everyone in the Splatoon community welcomed Ninjala with open arms.
@@Fryethusiast I was just trying to make a point since there are many games that are blatantly similar to another. But now all of a sudden people want to get over dramatic and want to turn something that happened many times before into an issue like it's the end of the world or something. I'm glad you understand my point at least.
@@Fryethusiast oh and for clarification I wasn't comparing smash and Mario Kart I'm talking about games that are similar to those two games specifically. (Individually)
@otomeroid Yeah I understand what you mean but I feel like in this situation, it's so much more obvious to the point that it feels shameless for how unoriginal and "samey" it is
@@Fryethusiast those other games do the exact same thing even games like Freedom Planet mirroring Sonic the hedgehog in a way. Sorry if it sounds like I'm being rude or being really negative but a little (or in this case a little MORE) similarity never hurt anybody.
It’s SE we are talking about.. yes they were amazing company 20 years ago but since then they have just been creating tons of gacha games and expensive soulless games that’s it. heck I even consider EA as much more costumer friendly company than SE that’s how bad they are, at least in my view..
Game inspirations is the trend. I’m a huge Nintendo and PlayStation fan. I don’t like Xbox, and having both, this matters. If someone was mad because palworld was similar to Pokémon, I’d just understand. The other community will always be mad. Not everyone is saying foamstars is bad. It’s barely getting attention at all. With that being said, it’s really a cool game to add SEEING inspirations being trends. I highly doubt this game will explode. It’s only Square Enix following a trend. Which is WHY it was surprising it was them of all people.
I've played Foamstars and not only did it knock off the gimmick but modes have also been knocked off, the game has a mode that is just like Salmon Run where enemies try to attack you but it's like Girl Power Station from OE where you have to defend a core so Salmon Run also got knocked off, but the game has a campaign for each character and that seems like a ripoff of the Hero Mode.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, foamstars is a Splatoon ripoff that has microtransactions with cosmically high prices, around the same price of some large indie games. Wow! That's absurd. And it doesn't even have salmon run or much customization at all! Seems like a low quality Splatoon clone to me! And even the specials are clones. The stages, especially that one that reminds me of blackbelly skate park mixed with humpback pump track, are just clones of the ones from Splatoon. Wow playstation, so unoriginal.
Btw, I'm just saying these to show things that they could improve apon! If they fixed these things, and made it original, they could make it a better game! So if the devs see this, they can improve, and make it less of a cash grab.
It's ok to make a game inspired by another one but at least make it good! I tried the game it wasn't any good, it was slow and i couldn't see what i was shooting at or even what I'm shooting! Too many things on the screen and i couldn't tell which is which.
When I played the beta, I had fun with it. But then they locked the character I played behind a paywall, took away all my cosmetics (which I had this cool Halloween one for Mel T) and now the game feels like a cheap cash grab.
Im sorry but this game is DOA for sure as when u try to copy a famous IP and then add Micro-transactions and Live Service features then your game is DOA again. Did Square Enix like threaten the DEV company named Toylogic into making this failed clone that nobody is even playing right now for free on PS Plus? And did I mention it was liver service ya know that same feature that killed the avengers in less then a year as they are shut down now and taken off the PS Plus store as of now >:3
Personally, I like foam stars it’s got potential and just saying this is nothing new games copy other games just with a little twist the only thing I don’t like about it the skins are way too damn pricey, and I don’t like the whole rotation for the game mode playlist Other than that, I’m actually enjoying it
I dont get it, whats the issue here? like you said foamstars is putting its own spin on things as many other games do when it comes to popular genres of games. I fully agree that the prices for the shop are insane but for a game that just came out like a day ago its pretty okay, just casual fun for people who want to burn some time, and nothings forced in the game either money wise thats 100% up to the player, no pay to win just cool skins and cosmetics. Dont know what you're so mad about dude, let it exist.
if they did a little spin on the art direction, music, etc… (lower the price too lol) maybe i could give it a try. let’s just give it more time to see where this is going.
i have no care for foamstars but like really the things that where shown off as copied one is a gamemode that most pvp games has which is king of hill/holdpoint, the roomba is just a reference to curling, big gun is just a machine gun/lmg and the last one is just a rocket launcher. like it definitely does take some stuff but it makes it unique like surfboarding on the foam is pretty cool also the city is just straight up las vegas makes sense party game party city lol. also that buzzer was so loud compared to the rest of the video dear god. i'll agree the skins and premium stuff is dumb as hell but thats how square and most modern companys are look at call of duty or diablo 4 fucking 50 dollar horse armor, any other big game with skins are usually over priced as hell it sucks. and like I said I don't have any interest in the game I think its cool that splatoon has what seems to be competition.The ai stuff if true does definitely suck though since square has some god tier artist and character designers that they could of just used for stuff.
I will say after watching the video of you playing it, I'm a little interested now lol. and its cool that your going and checking it out even with the thought of it being a clone and are able to have fun with it still. too many people are overly negative about stuff nowadays but you don't seem to be one of them.
I'm not going to lie, I did initially shit on this game a lot because I thought it was funny and wasn't genuinely pissy about it. After playing, I'm still probably going to make fun of it but it is really fun and has its own charm
@@Fryethusiast which is honestly fair i feel like if its to be funny and not for purely negative reasons its fine since its played up for jokes and isn't coming from like real spite for whatever it might be .I just don't like overly negative stances since it feels very just pessimistic. I'm not saying yours was since its clear you don't outright hate the game just might roast it for some stuff.
This should've been a homerun if it weren't for overpriced DLCs. All of those stuff should've been earnable by just playing the game. Another live service game that is begging to be shut down, delisted or just be forgotten just like Avengers, Outriders and Babylon's Fall. All four of these are made by Square Enix, BTW. I felt like Square Enix is developing a worrying trend where they make attempts to make an online game that isn't Final Fantasy-themed that manages to shat the bed one way or another and doesn't realize it's their fault. So much potential and just bad executions! Failure after failure! History repeats itself! It's like they never learned! So worried about Final Fantasy games after VII Rebirth and Kingdom Hearts Missing Link and IV! Then again Square Enix gots lots of Ls in recent years like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, Balan Wonderworld, Kingdom Hearts Switch "ports" and Chrono Cross remaster so it ain't that surprising.
Bro how about you really, try this game? It's actually pretty good. Like do you Splatfans feel threatened by it or why are you hating so much? Game feels like an actual party whereas Splatoon sometimes feels like the biggest sweatfest. Like bo3 ain't even that sweaty my guy.
@@Fryethusiast Don't do that man I want this game to live and it would be beneficial for Splatoon aswell. Competition kills complacency, which is good.
when i saw splatoon in first part of the video, i realized that it would be an ass-busting reviweiv of splatoon fun who played foamstars with only play/pause on youtube. Gut damn i was right 😂😂 Foamstars is not splatoon, get over it. No one who play splatoon will play foamstars, these games are different
People are hella upset that it’s a copy of another game but what about battle royals, what about cod look alikes, what about racing games aren’t they all basically imitations of other games y’all will find anything to complain about enjoy the fu**img game 🤣 it’s a new game right nothing new/good has come out lmao
Bro… there is nothing more then I hate then a person who doesn’t see that games (as long as they aren’t copyrighting art & names) should be able to pop off with similarities and take certain aspects of games and make them better?! Like come on dude, u wasted ur time bashing this game when there are games like PALWORLD openly burning ur argument to ASHES! Palword is a blatant pokemon rip off but they made it better with weapons and crafting! And it made sooooo much money!! You need to accept that not one game should hold a monopoly on a genre of game even if they did it first. ur splatoon biased is showing and it doesn’t make for a good reviewer or gamer
I've played the game and enjoy it a lot. Watch my recent video. This wasn't a review and I never claimed it to be. Y'all are getting so upset over something miniscule
Who cares how much skins cost? It doesn’t give you power ups , it’s cosmetic , don’t buy it then. , $6 for battle pass is fine , the ONLY thing I agree with you is , that it shouldn’t be $30 but F2P , everything else your rant is biased completely, and no one cares that you don’t feel well. You’re a splatoon player going by your channel which is fine , splats a great game but mostly everything you said is biased.
There’s no way you’re making a video about a game you don’t even play. Cry and get tf over it. It’s not a splatoon ripoff and I’m pretty sure the developers don’t even know what splatoon is. MANY games are alike. Apex, Fortnite, Pubg, cod are all very similar and oh what do you know, they’re all shooter games! Not every single game that releases is gonna be completely unique and different. Some games are gonna be like others and there’s nothing wrong with that. Y’all wanna complain so much about Foamstars, go ahead that’s adding more recognition for the game so more people can play it lol. But soon enough y’all splatoon weirdos will come over here sooner or later to see what the hype is all about. I hope y’all stay in splatoon tho foamstars is perfectly fine where it’s at and I don’t want any of y’all they them weirdos coming to foamstars
I do play it actually. You lost me when you said the devs might not know what Splatoon is. Peak intellect here. You can stay mad that I'm shitting on a game that clearly is a cheap cashgrap. I enjoy the game but you probably wouldn't believe that so thanks for the view and comment💛

GO WATCH THE VIDEO AFTER THIS ONE BEFORE CRYING ABOUT ME HATING ON THE GAME! It's really not that deep. Mintpickers

@@Moo-a-gains maybe we should blame you, your preference of tetra dualies ruined the video
No worries Fryethusiast feel better soon
Im secretly hoping it only serves as a way for Nintendo to make better updates on splatoon to establish it as THE peak ink shooter game
Yes. Competition is always good
It's still the peak ink shooting game because its literally the only ink shooting game.
Nintendo is already doing great updates to splatoon 3 and it getting a lot of positive feedback and foamstars is already dead

To be honest i was happy this game was gonna come out because there will be competition and Nintendo will add more updates to be better than the competition but i don’t think you need updates to beat this…
if they did the “palworld” move (if you get where i’m going here) THEN i would leave it be.
I just wanna go over pres' video, just to point out some things that splatoon doesnt own as a concept/ didnt even make.
Splatoon did not make miniguns. Splatoon does not own the concept of cities (what??)
Spatoon does not own the idea of rockets (the rocket launcher didnt even look the same)
Splatoon does not own the concept of rocket launchers
Splatoon does not own the concept of a push the payload mode
Those are just the things i noticed before the editing went bad
Idek how people think these things. Like, splatoon didnt come up with anything i just mentioned. Yet people say that these things are proof of Foamstars copying splatoon.
Foamstars is even imitating splatoon outside of the game. I Mean, they fucked up a translation on a tweet and misspelled their own name. Not as drastic as the storm/squeezer mistranslation, but still close enough.
Oh yeah, and from what I’ve heard, there’s also an UNGODLY amount of DC’s and communication errors. Are they even trying to hide this?
yeah cuz god forbid you make a game similar to another game. These fanboys always get pressed over non nintendo titles. "oh no some random company 'copied' my glorious king nintendo. Grrrrrrr i need to express my anger with a video they wont even watch." Its all bs. Open yall small mind.
I find it weird that splatoon fans don't want to play Splatoon like games... like, isn't that what you like?
The point is that Foamstars is super uninspired; on par with Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It rips off Fortnite too
A valid point you got there, I'll have to agree with ya. BUT using those slangs make you lose the argument and also look very childish. Do better next time.
@@BakedCalamarihonestly lmao, if I like resident evil and I’ve played them all and I still have that itch then I’d give other third person survival horror games. These people really are weird, I’ll never get people defending Nintendo of all companies
@@Carlisle-mn3fvFr you see Souls fans, for example, abaolutly gushing for them Soulslike games no matter if its from Fromsoft, meanwhile Splatfans feeling threatened by a game that is alike Splatoon but absolutly not the same. I'm tellin ya, the gamemodes in Foam got me more convinced. Actualy controllergripping clutch gameplay.
What I find interesting is that there are games out there that are by an EXTREME AMOUNT similar as hell to each other but nobody bats an eye, for instance, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, those have games that are pretty much mirroring them, now that Splatoon has another game that is Mirroring it all of the sudden EVERYONE and I MEAN 99% of the community is taking that as some sort of... An evil and malicious threat against not only them as a community but Splatoon itself. Society today would pretty much get mad at anything these days. I honestly think it's good that Foamstars exists because this allows Splatoon to flourish and succeed even more while at the same time, people can have fun playing Foamstars because I KNOW for a fact everyone in the Splatoon community welcomed Ninjala with open arms.
I agree with some of your points but Smash and Mario Kart aren't really anything alike other than both being family party games
@@Fryethusiast I was just trying to make a point since there are many games that are blatantly similar to another. But now all of a sudden people want to get over dramatic and want to turn something that happened many times before into an issue like it's the end of the world or something. I'm glad you understand my point at least.
@@Fryethusiast oh and for clarification I wasn't comparing smash and Mario Kart I'm talking about games that are similar to those two games specifically. (Individually)
@otomeroid Yeah I understand what you mean but I feel like in this situation, it's so much more obvious to the point that it feels shameless for how unoriginal and "samey" it is
@@Fryethusiast those other games do the exact same thing even games like Freedom Planet mirroring Sonic the hedgehog in a way. Sorry if it sounds like I'm being rude or being really negative but a little (or in this case a little MORE) similarity never hurt anybody.
It’s SE we are talking about.. yes they were amazing company 20 years ago but since then they have just been creating tons of gacha games and expensive soulless games that’s it. heck I even consider EA as much more costumer friendly company than SE that’s how bad they are, at least in my view..
Foamthusiast when?
April 1st
March 5th
Game inspirations is the trend. I’m a huge Nintendo and PlayStation fan. I don’t like Xbox, and having both, this matters. If someone was mad because palworld was similar to Pokémon, I’d just understand. The other community will always be mad.
Not everyone is saying foamstars is bad. It’s barely getting attention at all. With that being said, it’s really a cool game to add SEEING inspirations being trends. I highly doubt this game will explode. It’s only Square Enix following a trend. Which is WHY it was surprising it was them of all people.
I've played Foamstars and not only did it knock off the gimmick but modes have also been knocked off, the game has a mode that is just like Salmon Run where enemies try to attack you but it's like Girl Power Station from OE where you have to defend a core so Salmon Run also got knocked off, but the game has a campaign for each character and that seems like a ripoff of the Hero Mode.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, foamstars is a Splatoon ripoff that has microtransactions with cosmically high prices, around the same price of some large indie games. Wow! That's absurd. And it doesn't even have salmon run or much customization at all! Seems like a low quality Splatoon clone to me! And even the specials are clones. The stages, especially that one that reminds me of blackbelly skate park mixed with humpback pump track, are just clones of the ones from Splatoon. Wow playstation, so unoriginal.
And don't get me started on the weapons and subs. Clones as well.
But other than that? If there wasn't a battlepass and overpriced cosmetics, I might've given it a bigger chance.
Btw, I'm just saying these to show things that they could improve apon! If they fixed these things, and made it original, they could make it a better game! So if the devs see this, they can improve, and make it less of a cash grab.
I can't tell if this is satire...
@@Fryethusiast neither can I really
It's ok to make a game inspired by another one but at least make it good! I tried the game it wasn't any good, it was slow and i couldn't see what i was shooting at or even what I'm shooting! Too many things on the screen and i couldn't tell which is which.
When I played the beta, I had fun with it. But then they locked the character I played behind a paywall, took away all my cosmetics (which I had this cool Halloween one for Mel T) and now the game feels like a cheap cash grab.
That is saddening. I'm having a blast with the game but I'm most likely not going to buy it when it drops because I know it won't last😔
Mel T's actually free. You can get her at level 31 of the pass. Although some of the prices of cosmetics are a bit expensive.
Im sorry but this game is DOA for sure as when u try to copy a famous IP and then add Micro-transactions and Live Service features then your game is DOA again. Did Square Enix like threaten the DEV company named Toylogic into making this failed clone that nobody is even playing right now for free on PS Plus? And did I mention it was liver service ya know that same feature that killed the avengers in less then a year as they are shut down now and taken off the PS Plus store as of now >:3
Personally, I like foam stars it’s got potential and just saying this is nothing new games copy other games just with a little twist the only thing I don’t like about it the skins are way too damn pricey, and I don’t like the whole rotation for the game mode playlist Other than that, I’m actually enjoying it
I've been playing it recently and it's actually so fun
I’d rather play splatoon than whatever this knockoff is.
I dont get it, whats the issue here? like you said foamstars is putting its own spin on things as many other games do when it comes to popular genres of games. I fully agree that the prices for the shop are insane but for a game that just came out like a day ago its pretty okay, just casual fun for people who want to burn some time, and nothings forced in the game either money wise thats 100% up to the player, no pay to win just cool skins and cosmetics. Dont know what you're so mad about dude, let it exist.
if they did a little spin on the art direction, music, etc… (lower the price too lol) maybe i could give it a try. let’s just give it more time to see where this is going.
The problem are microtransactions on a paid game.
If it was free like Fortnite, okay, but that's not the case.
@@brksmiguelCoD?
@@brksmiguel its so crazy how its not forced for the player to buy them at all though. and with a season pass thats only 5 bucks? like who cares bro.
I'm not mad. Like I said, if people want to play the game and enjoy it, all power to them. I'm just having fun ranting about it
i have no care for foamstars but like really the things that where shown off as copied one is a gamemode that most pvp games has which is king of hill/holdpoint, the roomba is just a reference to curling, big gun is just a machine gun/lmg and the last one is just a rocket launcher. like it definitely does take some stuff but it makes it unique like surfboarding on the foam is pretty cool also the city is just straight up las vegas makes sense party game party city lol. also that buzzer was so loud compared to the rest of the video dear god. i'll agree the skins and premium stuff is dumb as hell but thats how square and most modern companys are look at call of duty or diablo 4 fucking 50 dollar horse armor, any other big game with skins are usually over priced as hell it sucks. and like I said I don't have any interest in the game I think its cool that splatoon has what seems to be competition.The ai stuff if true does definitely suck though since square has some god tier artist and character designers that they could of just used for stuff.
I will say after watching the video of you playing it, I'm a little interested now lol. and its cool that your going and checking it out even with the thought of it being a clone and are able to have fun with it still. too many people are overly negative about stuff nowadays but you don't seem to be one of them.
I'm not going to lie, I did initially shit on this game a lot because I thought it was funny and wasn't genuinely pissy about it. After playing, I'm still probably going to make fun of it but it is really fun and has its own charm
@@Fryethusiast which is honestly fair i feel like if its to be funny and not for purely negative reasons its fine since its played up for jokes and isn't coming from like real spite for whatever it might be .I just don't like overly negative stances since it feels very just pessimistic. I'm not saying yours was since its clear you don't outright hate the game just might roast it for some stuff.
This should've been a homerun if it weren't for overpriced DLCs. All of those stuff should've been earnable by just playing the game. Another live service game that is begging to be shut down, delisted or just be forgotten just like Avengers, Outriders and Babylon's Fall. All four of these are made by Square Enix, BTW. I felt like Square Enix is developing a worrying trend where they make attempts to make an online game that isn't Final Fantasy-themed that manages to shat the bed one way or another and doesn't realize it's their fault. So much potential and just bad executions! Failure after failure! History repeats itself! It's like they never learned! So worried about Final Fantasy games after VII Rebirth and Kingdom Hearts Missing Link and IV! Then again Square Enix gots lots of Ls in recent years like the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, Balan Wonderworld, Kingdom Hearts Switch "ports" and Chrono Cross remaster so it ain't that surprising.
Bro how about you really, try this game? It's actually pretty good. Like do you Splatfans feel threatened by it or why are you hating so much? Game feels like an actual party whereas Splatoon sometimes feels like the biggest sweatfest. Like bo3 ain't even that sweaty my guy.
I am planning on trying it. I don't hate the game, it's just an easy target. This video was a low effort rant
@@Fryethusiast Don't do that man I want this game to live and it would be beneficial for Splatoon aswell. Competition kills complacency, which is good.
@dice5709 I know I'm being harsh in the video but I'm looking forward to playing it and giving it chance. I'm not blindly hating
@@Fryethusiast aye do that it's hella fun and the ost is godly.
The game is super fun and you sound completely bias, I was hoping for an objective review, what a shame.
Yeah, I was expecting a genuine review, not a rant lol
Literally within the first minute of the video he said that it's going to be opinionated, I don't know what you were expecting
I never implied it was a review. I don't hate the game, it's just easy to laugh at
@@Fryethusiast oh, okay
If there's one thing foam star isn't a splatoon ripoff for, it's the importance they give to art (in general) and creativity.
when i saw splatoon in first part of the video, i realized that it would be an ass-busting reviweiv of splatoon fun who played foamstars with only play/pause on youtube. Gut damn i was right 😂😂 Foamstars is not splatoon, get over it. No one who play splatoon will play foamstars, these games are different
Check my recent video then come back
People are hella upset that it’s a copy of another game but what about battle royals, what about cod look alikes, what about racing games aren’t they all basically imitations of other games y’all will find anything to complain about enjoy the fu**img game 🤣 it’s a new game right nothing new/good has come out lmao
Maybe go look at my recent video
Bro… there is nothing more then I hate then a person who doesn’t see that games (as long as they aren’t copyrighting art & names) should be able to pop off with similarities and take certain aspects of games and make them better?! Like come on dude, u wasted ur time bashing this game when there are games like PALWORLD openly burning ur argument to ASHES! Palword is a blatant pokemon rip off but they made it better with weapons and crafting! And it made sooooo much money!! You need to accept that not one game should hold a monopoly on a genre of game even if they did it first. ur splatoon biased is showing and it doesn’t make for a good reviewer or gamer
I've played the game and enjoy it a lot. Watch my recent video. This wasn't a review and I never claimed it to be. Y'all are getting so upset over something miniscule
Who cares how much skins cost? It doesn’t give you power ups , it’s cosmetic , don’t buy it then. , $6 for battle pass is fine , the ONLY thing I agree with you is , that it shouldn’t be $30 but F2P , everything else your rant is biased completely, and no one cares that you don’t feel well. You’re a splatoon player going by your channel which is fine , splats a great game but mostly everything you said is biased.
Cry harder. I said it would be opinionated. I'm also about to upload a video of me playing Foamstars. Calm down
There’s no way you’re making a video about a game you don’t even play. Cry and get tf over it. It’s not a splatoon ripoff and I’m pretty sure the developers don’t even know what splatoon is. MANY games are alike. Apex, Fortnite, Pubg, cod are all very similar and oh what do you know, they’re all shooter games! Not every single game that releases is gonna be completely unique and different. Some games are gonna be like others and there’s nothing wrong with that. Y’all wanna complain so much about Foamstars, go ahead that’s adding more recognition for the game so more people can play it lol. But soon enough y’all splatoon weirdos will come over here sooner or later to see what the hype is all about. I hope y’all stay in splatoon tho foamstars is perfectly fine where it’s at and I don’t want any of y’all they them weirdos coming to foamstars
So yeah womp womp foamstars is better than splatoon
I do play it actually. You lost me when you said the devs might not know what Splatoon is. Peak intellect here. You can stay mad that I'm shitting on a game that clearly is a cheap cashgrap. I enjoy the game but you probably wouldn't believe that so thanks for the view and comment💛
foamstars used ai art so its automatically worse idc
