Wow, what a coincidence. I was just watching videos of every season of Fall Guys yesterday since I stopped watching the game 5 days after it got popular.
Because it was a kids game that had 0 competitive as a games as a service the better question i think should be asked is what made people think this game would survive as it clearly wasnt statistics or economics
As someone who still plays fall guys, the game is definitely not dead. There's way more maps, features, skins and gamemodes, definitely try it out again and you'll have a fun time
Its something for a game to have lots of content and its another thing for it to not have players. Its a great game and it has improved a lot but even then it doesnt remove the fact that its pretty much dead now. Still, maybe ill try it someday again
He said that but it has effectively died because of how many players it has currently it has lost all popularity people don’t even post in it because they will get low views
I still play fall guys and its a really enjoyable game, crossplay is coming next week and the game is going F2P in march, so i recomend everyone to come back to the game
Its going F2P? Thats great to hear, the reason i stopped playing it completely was because my ps+ subscription had ended, now ill be able to play it again :)
I mean dead game is a game that has no popularity on social media, even though the game that are dead that have no player do get popularity on social media so idk
It's not dead, it's just not as big. It got way bigger than anticipated and the current playerbase is relatively high for an indie game. It's a total success and everyone at EGX 2021 shown their love for it by mobbing the stall all weekend.
While i don't think the game died, but i believe that it lost alot of popularity. Switch and Xbox didn't come out yet, and the game is highly rumored and leaked (kind of) to be free to play in the next season. So maybe these will make the game grow again
I really hope Epic Games doesn't make the game free as that would just be a very lazy move to just popularize the game again without actually doing much to the game's content. Tbh I think the real reason along with the fact that Among Us happened is because Mediatonic didn't update the game fast enough and didn't fix any notable problems with the game for a long time.
No switch or Xbox release is probably the biggest issue here. It's missing a huge amount of players that won't be able to play it otherwise, and although any game that becomes as popular as it has so fast dies off nearly as quickly too it would've probably had more time before it started to falter and more players afterwards.
@@freshlyfishedbread5567 although it would have helped, I really don't think it would have done anything much as it literally just doesn't change the game much but make it more accessible. Millions of people already heard about the game and as you can get it on PC, it's mostly already accessible by a lot of people. When I think of playing a game, I don't immediately think about playing it on a Switch or something as that's just an additional version of the game that would be nice to have for portability, not as my main way to play. It doesn't change anything about the game and since a lot of people already knew the game, it would just not do anything at all unless the game actually gets updated well enough and in time. Releasing it on Xbox and Switch right now isn't going to do anything either, the game literally had its chance and missed it, what is it going to do by just releasing the game to platforms that are less accessible than something like PC or Ps4 when the game in fact was released free on there as a Ps+ offer? All it's going to do is bring people that have no idea of what had happened in the game and just think it's a good game to play cause its fall guys and it's a popular game and that's a slim amount of people compared to the many who already played the game starting from more than a year ago. They already pretty much screwed up by saying "it's coming to xbox and switch just trust me bro" month after month with no signs of it coming anytime soon.
I genuinely feel that this game would be so much more fun if they gave access to a level editor and a community made level system. Imagine being able to make your own levels and play any of them with friends or you could like select 10 maps from the community levels and then play them all together. The game would never get boring if there was constantly new levels and concepts made by the players themselves, although this is something only to dream about I hope it does happen, I mean hey mario maker is a thing so who knows.
For anybody who has not tried Fall Guys ever since season 1 or 2 and still have it, PLAY THE GAME. Trust me, there is loads new content and a bunch of new features! For example: there are events to get certain skins.
The game hasn't changed and it's mostly just a grindfest now. People who are mostly saying to play the game are just casuals would will mostly say anything positive about the game when in reality, it's just the same repetitive gameplay with season after season and crossover after crossover. The game really isn't as enjoyable as many people think as in order to get these skins, you have to win multiple times and play for hours. Not trying to shut others down who play it as that's fine but just saying, it already mostly met it's potential and now it's over and only seen as a game that's only sometimes fun every once in a good while. Mediatonic really just ignored most of the bugs and problems with the game and didn't update the game for a crap long time.
This is something I see almost nobody talking about and I think it played a major part in Fall Guys' original success. Prior to the game's official launch, they contacted streamers big and small and gave them hundreds of codes to give out to viewers for the game's Early Access Playtest (or something like that). This meant that tons of people who would have never considered Fall Guys got a chance to play it for free prior to it's official launch, with the $20 price tag and all. It's a really smart move for online games and I hope to see more of them do it because it makes for banging content
My main problem with the game is the controls, they feel really heavy and uneasy to me, but aside of my problems, it's without a doubt a good game, and it's sad not too many people care about it anymore
I want to add a little something that honestly doesn't help out with Fall Guys in the long run, and that is Epic purchasing the game itself. I am not one to complain as long as the game is still good, but they made it so that to those who get the game anywhere, such as steam for example, you are required to have an Epic account in order to play the game, it was implemented in the 6th season, so meaning it cut the player base, and made those who didn't have an epic account, (or want one) forced to make an account in order to play Fall Guys. I know it isn't something that made Fall Guys drop faster than a ball falling at the speed of light, but i wanted to point this out because it's something that potentially kills the potential of the game seeing fame again.
it's not dead, it just isn't popular as it was on release (Which is pretty normal for every game tbh), you can still enter a lobby quickly and devs keep adding new game modes and events
@@LordRayken what are you, 10? If a game still has a moderate player base and is still profitable, it's not dead. That shouldn't even have to be explained, Jesus. People like you think every game is dead if it's not the top selling game at that given moment, but that's not how ANY business works.
@@ninja_tony You're right. But the thing is that gameplay is boring no matter how many gamemodes there are. I played for a few months and stopped. Never forced myself to play again.
@@LordRayken It's absolutely not. Have you ever tried to play an online game where you can't even find a match because literally no one plays it anymore? That's a dead game.
@@Tanner_LaFond yeah, it always amazes me how even 5+ year old games which had plenty of newer versions come out still have enough people playing them to get in a lobby quickly. Even older games than fall guys aren't dead so fall guys definitely isn't dead lol
another sad case of everyone outside the community calling it dead while everyone inside is playing and having fun. if i can queue and get a full 60 lobby in a minute, its not dead.
People who say dead game are lost their eyes because dead game is the game has no update no player but Fall Guys have many people still play, have update.
The game was bought by epic games, is coming to literally every platform, is going free to play now and people who paid are getting exclusive cosmetics for being there earlier. The players aren’t decreasing even more now because they don’t like the game, it’s because you need an epic account to play now, and many people either don’t have it in their region or refuse to make one. Once epic solves these issues, the game becomes f2p and the “symphony season 1 (epic is resetting the seasons just like they did to rocket league) comes out, I’m pretty sure the game will rise back to popularity, even if it won’t be as big as it used to be.
I'm still playing fall guys myself but it's a little chill game that I play when I'm stressed and they have added new maps and that so it's fun to go back to if you haven't been on for a while
it’s boutta blow up. they just announced free to play, cross platform, and on platforms: -ps4 AND ps5 -xbox one, series X, series S -nintendo switch -epic games store
It didn't fail. Videos like this are so stupid, it's still going and still has a pretty solid player base. I hate this modern society where everyone acts like a game is either on top of the world or nonexistent.
It was really only so popular at the start due to the start of Covid and quarantine. It was a game we never really seen before and being stuck home this was it. Even now it’s not a bad game it’s still fun and entertaining at times
The thing is there initial marketing strategy was genius but it was also fleeting. Having it start as a creator only game to make intrigue before releasing it to the general public was really neat. But when the game blew up, it was lacking in content and options and had a lot of issues. Of course there’s also the factor of puffball releasing the Henry stickmin collection which very prevalently endorsed among us and soon enough people just saw fall guys as stepping stone towards among us.
I feel like fall guys worst enemy is its gameplay The game is fun and unique but also really clunky That was intentional of course but that also meant the gameplay loop would never engage people for too long It reminded me of the indie games with wonky character physics like human fall flat wherr seeing someone play was really fun but playing it was garbage
Just off the last point alone this falls flat. Playing human fall flat is just fine the only people I've ever seen have problem with controlling are complete idiots or complete noobs. Quirky kinda wonky movement isn't the issue by a long shot especially in this game where it has some of the most refined wonky control compared to any other game that has used the gimmick. Seriously tho if you had issue playing human fall flat just get gud
I feel like game more so found it’s small yet dedicated fanbase that have stuck around and it’s limelight died down big time, leaving the game feeling much quieter than before.
as a competitive fall guys player and content creator who never stopped playing the game, I feel that the reason this game lost popularity is solely because of lack of content, every season is getting longer and longer, and we have gone 3 and a half months without an update, and in the update, we are only getting ONE map. 3 months for one map. another flaw is the fact that the devs really just don’t care about fixing bugs anymore, there have been horrible tournament/game ruining bugs, like randomly getting eliminated for no reason in survival maps, auto win exploits by jumping into the middle of jump showdown for example, grabs simply not working and people floating on air due to desync on roll off, leading me onto the main reason why this game is simply unplayable. the servers are absolutely horrible, it could take a second for the servers to register movement, leading to getting slingshotted by other players, players phasing through obstacles and multiple players causing a “desync tornado” that flings any player caught in it flying, normally into the slime, and the devs aren’t doing ANYTHING about it.
It's dead? I could have sworn I was playing it recently with a bunch of people and not really having to wait too long for matches to fill. That's so weird. (I guess nowadays if a game isn't played by a billion people then it "fails" lmao)
@@LordRayken Not what dead means. Every tried playing an old online game and not being able to find anyone because literally no one plays it? Now that's an actual dead game.
Back in the day we had Fall Guys and Among Us in one game that was called Garrys Mod. Even Counter Strike had capability to handle these type of games.
For me it failed when it moved to Epic. Spent about two weeks of constantly getting disconnected from games, massive lag, and just quit playing from there.
I miss fallguys. Was interested in it ever since I saw it first announced, knew I wanted to get it when devolver expo showed it off more, loved it at launch. Fell in love with slime climb and hex-a-gone (my first crown win final). Talked a few friends into playing it as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and had fun with it. But, friends weren't as in love with the game as me. Also weren't as good, maybe that had something to do with it; one friend only ever won a single crown. The game had it's issues, mostly nitpicks but there were a few huge glaring problems. The name thing wasn't that big a deal, slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker in the slightest. Not all the minigames were equally interesting or fun, and possibly negative bias here but some of those less fun ones seemed to show up more often. Absolutely hated most of the team games, most of all the egg one(and then for some reason one of the handful of events they added in that first season was another egg one, why?). And then there were the cheaters. At first, it didn't happen all that much, but over time I saw more and more, and they clearly weren't trying to be subtle about it. Really made the whole thing feel like a waste of time when they waited until the final to be blatant about it, but worse is seeing all the other players not recognize that a cheater is in the lobby, thus they don't actually stand a chance to win. Had a few team games where someone on my team started flying around so I'd try to throw to make sure the cheater didn't get the win and ruin the lobby for all the others, but the rest of the people on my team, and in general most if not all players that ended up on a team with an obvious cheater, would still try their hardest to win. All of this was probably the biggest reason I lost interest in the game. Then Epic bought the company. Not gonna get into it here, this is long enough as is, but I refuse to use Epic at this point. When they initially got bought out, it killed any interest I had in getting back into the game, because I figured it was only a matter of time before it got the rocket league treatment. Then back in november of last year despite Epic owning the game I got an itch to pick fallguys back up again, but by that time it was too late, Fallguys now requires an epic account link to play through steam. I refuse. Then, for the first time since I got the game, I uninstalled it, cementing the fact I wouldn't be going back.
"rl treatment" HAHAHAHAHA good joke because although epic brought more boosters the game is still the same and omg just click yes and move on its just a burner account that was confirmed, so sad how people can hate a company so much that they refuse to play a game just cause they were bought by epic i dont have one but if steam goes down then epic is my go to free is free i mostly play rl so its a win win.
Damn, imagine being a game dev: your game is really popular, but you just need a bit to get your update out. But then everyone isn’t there… it’s dead, everyone just left because they where impatient.
The people just play games that constantly have updates and no one play singleplayer games or games with and ending everithing is casual and that is sad and angry me so much I hate the casuals are ruining the industry
while i don't think this game is dead at all, there has undoubtedly been a drop in popularity and as a fall guys player myself mediatonic has shown to be incompetent at delivering content in a good enough time. next season is reportedly free to play though, so that could get interesting. also making videos on why fall guys died is getting really unnecessary at this point, just saying :P
Really? Using the :p face? You living in 2005 my guy? Also coming from someone who played this game for a year before quitting, it took 3-7 minutes to get a lobby. That shouldn’t take that long. Your entire channel is based around fall guys, so you’re biased af.
@@bubbaisweirdyt played several rounds today, it consistently took a little less than a minute to get into lobbies. I have no clue where your numbers came from.
Personally I just felt there weren't enough minigames at launch, and unfortunately team-based games were ruined as the community just collectively agreed to gang up on gold-team. I still go back to try it out whenever new minigames drop, so long as the devs keep making content I'll keep playing.
Fall Guys is about to blow up again. its going F2P on March 6 for ALL PLATFORMS!! (exepct mobile) It's going to be the next fortnite, because you have to buy the "battle pass" with real money. Unless, you bought it before SS1, (like me) then, you get it for free.
@@bread6085 It’s what kills a lot of games. Fair enough being like a month or two exclusive but they kept it out of all markets at the wrong time. Mid lockdown would’ve made them bank
@@mdlyonn0035 yup. Game wasn’t free as well. In the past few years sales show that the majority of best selling games are free. As fun as this game was it was bound to die
Something I always thought contributed in a weird way, when they released that art on the anatomy of a Fall Guy and revealed they're actually like... 2M tall? Suddenly they didn't seem like these cute lil beans running around and I think legit after that a lot of hype died
No they're 6ft tall actually lol, but yes i totally had the same feeling ever since i read that😂 but you shouldn't take that so seriously that you stop playing the game just because it was said that the fall guys are 6 feet LOL, that doesn't even have anything to do with the game
Even tho the game is "dead", it still manages to be the most viewed video in your channel 😅 the game is far from perfect, but still manages to be fun and dumb things still happen
I would say that there is a lot of hype around fall guys right know, atleast in it’s community Also it turns free and comes to xbox and switch on june 21 soo
Same reason Among Us is on the decline now. Its the equivalent to like... 1-3 Mario Party minigames. There's only so much you can do before it gets repetitive
In terms of the initial popularity, you totally glossed over the high marketing budget and the amount of youtubers/streamers that were paid the play/promote the game.
I’ve always hated fall guys for several reasons. 1: a one in 60 chance of winning? Seriously? 2: team games are horrible because your team is usually trash. 3: hackers and glitches. 4: the trolling is unfair. 5: it’s mostly based on luck. 6: like why would you make the center fan. It’s almost impossible. 7: you can’t expose the cheaters!!!!!
Fortnite is a 1 in a 100 chance of winning, so is cod warzone and pretty much every battle royale, but people love those. Hackers aren't as common as they used to be, so it looks like you're basing it off of how it was a year ago. I rarely get trolled now, and if I do it's pretty easy to get out of the troll. If you've played the game for a while and and don't just run through everything with no train of thought, you'll realize that (,although some of it luck based,) the majority of maps do have some skill needed. You can expose the cheaters (if you find one in game nowadays) through fall guys discord, but no in-game so I guess I agree with you on that. Also, Fall Guys recently went F2P so it will def rise in player count for a while. Sorry if i seemed a bit mad there lol just my response, and sorry for making and entire damn essay.
All those you listed are YOU problems. If your teams trash, don't blame the game. It's not based on luck actually watch gameplay for once. Nobody even hacks anymore due to the addition of reporting. The center fan IS possible just get good. And if you don't like 1 in 60 chance of winning, play squads show or a different mode. Come back to me when you actually replay the game.
I had a community of friends to play with, but after the servers became worse and worse, we weren't even able to finish an entire match without people disconnecting. Fun game but without a stable connection it was useless
Literally played it a couple of days ago and the matchmaking for 60 players took less than 20 seconds. I’ve played the sh** out of it and I’ve never had an issue, never found a cheater, never had connection problems. So it doesn’t suck and it isn’t dead at all.
The worst part is that there are many rip offs way worse than fall guys getting more popularity than the current fall guys *I'm looking at you, "stumble guys"*
I remember when someone on twitter asked them if the game is coming to other platforms and they responded with "does it look like we're struggling with popularity" and look at them now
My biggest issue with this game is the fact that there arent enough maps. They get boring really fast when it feels like u get the same maps over and over it doesnt feel like a complete game.
Ok, i loved fall guys, to me this is WAS the perfect battle royale, no microtransactions, a surprisingly competitive landscape, really rewarding wins, there was a point past s1 where i would boot up the game every day and grind for hours on end, nothing beat out this game for me, untill... Epic games services, yup, thats what killed the game for me, the fact that i had to use EGSe to play it made me so mad that i just left cold turkey, they could've made the game just better on steam and kept it consistent which is what i loved about it, but now i need stupid passthrough services to play my funny bean game, and sadly; i don't wanna have epic games spying on my pc, so i guess that was the end of an era for me, i left the game with 400 hours and all of the achievements done (one of only 2 of my games which i have 100% on steam) And thats not the worst of it, Fall guys is going to go F2P which to me just means that they are abandoning their old playerbase and pleasing new players, They are leaving the long time fans in the dirt and just trying to make a quick buck off of new people spending a few dollars on a skin, and so i just said: Hell no. and just left before that actually happened.
This game is 100% NOT dead just because fewer people play. We're still having fun. The only issue is that when too many people are on it can still kick you. That sort of disproves everything you said though because a dead game wouldn't have too many players.
I remember back then on any online event chat like game awards, playstation presents or whatever was flooded with: "Where's fall guys!??????" "Fall guys season 2!!!!!!??????" Yadi yadi yada, I'm pretty sure those were the ones who first stop giving a crap about the game once among us took over
But after 6 months I finally confirm Among us isn’t a reason make Fall Guys lost many player. The reason is the game problem because developers didn’t know the game will popular so how they can fix it fast like Among us got too.
short version : they killed themselves with no-report system and the fake-switch version that got announced to come out over a yr ago and still isnt here cuz they wanna add the crossplay so bad before dropping, that every potential player/buyer on switch or xbox wont pay anything anymore for it or even play it. self destruction. rlly sad cuz at the beginning it was rlly great, but then it started to only crashing or/and got ruined by hackers and is almost unplayable. hopefully switch version (xbox too) will drop before gta 6 lmaoooo
long story short epic bought it epic sucks see how they ruined rocket leauge cosmetics instead of getting a box you have to do annoying challenges same thing with fall guys but for skins that suck
Fall guys player here, now with over 400+ wins, the game is actually pretty fun! New maps, tons of outfits, it's now easier to get crowns, it's just a very fun game in general. If you have the cash laying around and you're super bored, hop on the game, so worth it
To anyone and everyone who is "personally offended" because people call Fall Guys dead... It has lost 95% of it's player base since release. That's what dead means. Just because 10,000 people still play it and YOU still find matches, doesn't mean the game is anything comparable to it's peak.
dead means that absolutely zero people play it anymore. the culling franchise is a good example of a dead franchise because it had only like 8 matches on the launch day before dropping to consistently ~1 concurrent player and shutting down
@@FilmBucketlol that’s not what dead means people are always still going to play games, if someone is cancelled it doesn’t mean they have 0 subscribers.
I still play fall guys and they made a lot of improvements. Crossplay and teams helps a lot with the multiplayer aspect. While the game's not dead, there's def a drop in players since you rarely get a full lobby anymore
I got falsebanned by their terrible anticheat early on so the game quickly hit a roadblock for me. Support team was somehow even more useless as the anticheat as they blindly trusted the anticheat and wouldn't say what got me banned. Eventually, this was replaced by the easy anticheat but the false bans from their awful anticheat still remain as far as I know. I looked this up on the internet a week or two ago and it seems I'm not the only one who encountered this.
I still know of at least 1 channel that streams Fall Guys. It’s definitely not as popular as it used to be, but it definitely isn’t dead. If there’s at least one person playing the game, it isn’t dead.

@@Strato_Casterrr9898 And it'll be 2 years since it blew up. Can we call it the game of 2020 despite it coming out in 2018?
@@justsomeguywithoutamask5805 might as well lmao, no other game has conquered the internet in 2020.
As an original Half-Life Player, I feel ancient now.
This is something I see almost nobody talking about and I think it played a major part in Fall Guys' original success. Prior to the game's official launch, they contacted streamers big and small and gave them hundreds of codes to give out to viewers for the game's Early Access Playtest (or something like that). This meant that tons of people who would have never considered Fall Guys got a chance to play it for free prior to it's official launch, with the $20 price tag and all.
It's a really smart move for online games and I hope to see more of them do it because it makes for banging content
In my country, it's just around 9$
@@Ndoelicious who asked?
@@johnandrews9433 I asked.
My main problem with the game is the controls, they feel really heavy and uneasy to me, but aside of my problems, it's without a doubt a good game, and it's sad not too many people care about it anymore
@Sam Bridges ask your mom
I want to add a little something that honestly doesn't help out with Fall Guys in the long run, and that is Epic purchasing the game itself. I am not one to complain as long as the game is still good, but they made it so that to those who get the game anywhere, such as steam for example, you are required to have an Epic account in order to play the game, it was implemented in the 6th season, so meaning it cut the player base, and made those who didn't have an epic account, (or want one) forced to make an account in order to play Fall Guys.
I know it isn't something that made Fall Guys drop faster than a ball falling at the speed of light, but i wanted to point this out because it's something that potentially kills the potential of the game seeing fame again.

2018: Among us
2020: fall guys
it's not dead, it just isn't popular as it was on release (Which is pretty normal for every game tbh), you can still enter a lobby quickly and devs keep adding new game modes and events
thats what dead means
@@LordRayken what are you, 10? If a game still has a moderate player base and is still profitable, it's not dead. That shouldn't even have to be explained, Jesus. People like you think every game is dead if it's not the top selling game at that given moment, but that's not how ANY business works.
@@ninja_tony You're right. But the thing is that gameplay is boring no matter how many gamemodes there are. I played for a few months and stopped. Never forced myself to play again.
@@LordRayken It's absolutely not. Have you ever tried to play an online game where you can't even find a match because literally no one plays it anymore? That's a dead game.
@@Tanner_LaFond yeah, it always amazes me how even 5+ year old games which had plenty of newer versions come out still have enough people playing them to get in a lobby quickly. Even older games than fall guys aren't dead so fall guys definitely isn't dead lol
another sad case of everyone outside the community calling it dead while everyone inside is playing and having fun.
if i can queue and get a full 60 lobby in a minute, its not dead.
Dead game makes no sense.
People who say dead game are lost their eyes because dead game is the game has no update no player but Fall Guys have many people still play, have update.
By dead they don’t mean that
@@chickenman5137 by that metric, Destiny 2 is dead.
@@kymerahYT and by dead we don’t really me single players game most of the time
Fall guys now like: “Are you sure about that?”
One thing that could skyrocket this game back to the top is adding voice chat.
The game was bought by epic games, is coming to literally every platform, is going free to play now and people who paid are getting exclusive cosmetics for being there earlier. The players aren’t decreasing even more now because they don’t like the game, it’s because you need an epic account to play now, and many people either don’t have it in their region or refuse to make one. Once epic solves these issues, the game becomes f2p and the “symphony season 1 (epic is resetting the seasons just like they did to rocket league) comes out, I’m pretty sure the game will rise back to popularity, even if it won’t be as big as it used to be.
its a grind game now you need to do challenges to get skins and that takes time
@@tigerazoz2910 don't easy challenges ruin the point of it being, you know a challenge?
@@lylelylecrocodile2538 yep the only challenge your supposed to have is to collect crowns and be good at the game
I'm still playing fall guys myself but it's a little chill game that I play when I'm stressed and they have added new maps and that so it's fun to go back to if you haven't been on for a while
it’s boutta blow up. they just announced free to play, cross platform, and on platforms:
-ps4 AND ps5
-xbox one, series X, series S
-nintendo switch
-epic games store
Stopped playing when I realized I would never get the last trophy to platinum because it's nearly impossible to win 5 games in a row
If you do squad celebration is possible
I also did 2 times 4 wins in a row in main show but I already did 5 wins in a row thanks squad celebration
that totally aged very well
It didn't fail. Videos like this are so stupid, it's still going and still has a pretty solid player base. I hate this modern society where everyone acts like a game is either on top of the world or nonexistent.
Just sensationalist BS as always.
THIS
just because the game isn't pouplar doesn't mean that it isn't dead
hes using "fail" to refer to popularity smh
It’s not dead. There are just a lot of flaws
It was really only so popular at the start due to the start of Covid and quarantine. It was a game we never really seen before and being stuck home this was it. Even now it’s not a bad game it’s still fun and entertaining at times
I Still Play Fall Guys But i miss The Hype Around it😕
The thing is there initial marketing strategy was genius but it was also fleeting. Having it start as a creator only game to make intrigue before releasing it to the general public was really neat. But when the game blew up, it was lacking in content and options and had a lot of issues. Of course there’s also the factor of puffball releasing the Henry stickmin collection which very prevalently endorsed among us and soon enough people just saw fall guys as stepping stone towards among us.
Who else watching this when fall guys is alive again?
Me
I feel like fall guys worst enemy is its gameplay
The game is fun and unique but also really clunky
That was intentional of course but that also meant the gameplay loop would never engage people for too long
It reminded me of the indie games with wonky character physics like human fall flat wherr seeing someone play was really fun but playing it was garbage
Just off the last point alone this falls flat. Playing human fall flat is just fine the only people I've ever seen have problem with controlling are complete idiots or complete noobs. Quirky kinda wonky movement isn't the issue by a long shot especially in this game where it has some of the most refined wonky control compared to any other game that has used the gimmick.
Seriously tho if you had issue playing human fall flat just get gud
I feel like game more so found it’s small yet dedicated fanbase that have stuck around and it’s limelight died down big time, leaving the game feeling much quieter than before.
theres prolly still a bunch of people playing it just less people streaming or making content abt it
as a competitive fall guys player and content creator who never stopped playing the game, I feel that the reason this game lost popularity is solely because of lack of content, every season is getting longer and longer, and we have gone 3 and a half months without an update, and in the update, we are only getting ONE map. 3 months for one map. another flaw is the fact that the devs really just don’t care about fixing bugs anymore, there have been horrible tournament/game ruining bugs, like randomly getting eliminated for no reason in survival maps, auto win exploits by jumping into the middle of jump showdown for example, grabs simply not working and people floating on air due to desync on roll off, leading me onto the main reason why this game is simply unplayable. the servers are absolutely horrible, it could take a second for the servers to register movement, leading to getting slingshotted by other players, players phasing through obstacles and multiple players causing a “desync tornado” that flings any player caught in it flying, normally into the slime, and the devs aren’t doing ANYTHING about it.
I haven't played this game in a while because it won't let me play and keeps disconnecting me even if my internet is normal. I loved the game.
well...they did fix the majority of the bugs you listed yesterday lmao.
@@RedLemonCola and added more bugs than they fixed…
It's dead? I could have sworn I was playing it recently with a bunch of people and not really having to wait too long for matches to fill. That's so weird. (I guess nowadays if a game isn't played by a billion people then it "fails" lmao)
Yeah it's dead. it lost 95% of its playerbase in one month.
@@LordRayken Not what dead means. Every tried playing an old online game and not being able to find anyone because literally no one plays it? Now that's an actual dead game.
Back in the day we had Fall Guys and Among Us in one game that was called Garrys Mod. Even Counter Strike had capability to handle these type of games.
Fall Guys was the type of game you buy, play for the entire day and after sleeping you can't be bothered starting it anymore
I've probably sank 200 hours into it. It's still super fun, they keep adding new stuff and it's all been great.
For me it failed when it moved to Epic. Spent about two weeks of constantly getting disconnected from games, massive lag, and just quit playing from there.
But everything will change when Fall Guys launch the satellite for ( connect Metaverse, other video game from Nintendo and Xbox )
The naming system has changed from random Dumb animal names to ur epic game’s Name for pc
I miss fallguys. Was interested in it ever since I saw it first announced, knew I wanted to get it when devolver expo showed it off more, loved it at launch. Fell in love with slime climb and hex-a-gone (my first crown win final). Talked a few friends into playing it as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and had fun with it.
But, friends weren't as in love with the game as me. Also weren't as good, maybe that had something to do with it; one friend only ever won a single crown. The game had it's issues, mostly nitpicks but there were a few huge glaring problems. The name thing wasn't that big a deal, slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker in the slightest. Not all the minigames were equally interesting or fun, and possibly negative bias here but some of those less fun ones seemed to show up more often. Absolutely hated most of the team games, most of all the egg one(and then for some reason one of the handful of events they added in that first season was another egg one, why?).
And then there were the cheaters. At first, it didn't happen all that much, but over time I saw more and more, and they clearly weren't trying to be subtle about it. Really made the whole thing feel like a waste of time when they waited until the final to be blatant about it, but worse is seeing all the other players not recognize that a cheater is in the lobby, thus they don't actually stand a chance to win. Had a few team games where someone on my team started flying around so I'd try to throw to make sure the cheater didn't get the win and ruin the lobby for all the others, but the rest of the people on my team, and in general most if not all players that ended up on a team with an obvious cheater, would still try their hardest to win. All of this was probably the biggest reason I lost interest in the game.
Then Epic bought the company. Not gonna get into it here, this is long enough as is, but I refuse to use Epic at this point. When they initially got bought out, it killed any interest I had in getting back into the game, because I figured it was only a matter of time before it got the rocket league treatment. Then back in november of last year despite Epic owning the game I got an itch to pick fallguys back up again, but by that time it was too late, Fallguys now requires an epic account link to play through steam. I refuse. Then, for the first time since I got the game, I uninstalled it, cementing the fact I wouldn't be going back.
UMMMMMM TOO BIG STOPPPP
you really hate epic?
bro just make an epic account and stop crying
the game is good now lol
"rl treatment" HAHAHAHAHA good joke because although epic brought more boosters the game is still the same and omg just click yes and move on its just a burner account that was confirmed, so sad how people can hate a company so much that they refuse to play a game just cause they were bought by epic
i dont have one but if steam goes down then epic is my go to free is free i mostly play rl so its a win win.
"rl treatment"
Thanks for posting this cause I forget that the game even existed.
Damn, imagine being a game dev: your game is really popular, but you just need a bit to get your update out. But then everyone isn’t there… it’s dead, everyone just left because they where impatient.
The problem with Fall Guys is essentially the problem of every single modern game. You cannot sustain a game solely on hype.
The problema is than no one play games for much time everithing its short
The people just play games that constantly have updates and no one play singleplayer games or games with and ending everithing is casual and that is sad and angry me so much I hate the casuals are ruining the industry
4 months later.....
Fall guys: "are you sure about that?"
while i don't think this game is dead at all, there has undoubtedly been a drop in popularity and as a fall guys player myself mediatonic has shown to be incompetent at delivering content in a good enough time. next season is reportedly free to play though, so that could get interesting.
also making videos on why fall guys died is getting really unnecessary at this point, just saying :P
totally not biased since ur entire account is based on making fall guys content
Really? Using the :p face? You living in 2005 my guy? Also coming from someone who played this game for a year before quitting, it took 3-7 minutes to get a lobby. That shouldn’t take that long. Your entire channel is based around fall guys, so you’re biased af.
@@bubbaisweirdyt It took me a minute to get in a lobby last time I played. I haven't played in months because it keeps disconnecting me for no reason.
@@bubbaisweirdyt well yeah naturally what do you expect lol
and yeah I'm living in 2005 lmao
@@bubbaisweirdyt played several rounds today, it consistently took a little less than a minute to get into lobbies. I have no clue where your numbers came from.
Personally I just felt there weren't enough minigames at launch, and unfortunately team-based games were ruined as the community just collectively agreed to gang up on gold-team. I still go back to try it out whenever new minigames drop, so long as the devs keep making content I'll keep playing.
The Co-Op was Bunk.
Even when the Platforming was good, the Dev Team went Rainbow, and nobody wanted to support that garbage.
I want to support it
You not respect game developers at all.
Didn't the game become full mirco transaction hell? If anything kills it then this.
the fact we are talking about fall guys doesn't mean it is dead
Fall Guys is about to blow up again. its going F2P on March 6 for ALL PLATFORMS!! (exepct mobile) It's going to be the next fortnite, because you have to buy the "battle pass" with real money. Unless, you bought it before SS1, (like me) then, you get it for free.

Exclusivity is what killed it. Should’ve branched out to far more systems on release
Big facts. They really limited themselves from not putting it on Xbox and mobile.
@@bread6085 It’s what kills a lot of games. Fair enough being like a month or two exclusive but they kept it out of all markets at the wrong time. Mid lockdown would’ve made them bank
@@mdlyonn0035 yup. Game wasn’t free as well. In the past few years sales show that the majority of best selling games are free. As fun as this game was it was bound to die
Something I always thought contributed in a weird way, when they released that art on the anatomy of a Fall Guy and revealed they're actually like... 2M tall? Suddenly they didn't seem like these cute lil beans running around and I think legit after that a lot of hype died
i wish i didn’t read this :(
No they're 6ft tall actually lol, but yes i totally had the same feeling ever since i read that😂 but you shouldn't take that so seriously that you stop playing the game just because it was said that the fall guys are 6 feet LOL, that doesn't even have anything to do with the game
Words like "fail" and "dead" are thrown around so casually and in an overly exaggerated way.
Even tho the game is "dead", it still manages to be the most viewed video in your channel 😅 the game is far from perfect, but still manages to be fun and dumb things still happen
The game is pretty good to chat with friends or chill while listening songs on Spotify and YT
The reason it died was the exclusivity and the push backs of the switch/xbox ports
I would say that there is a lot of hype around fall guys right know, atleast in it’s community
Also it turns free and comes to xbox and switch on june 21 soo
Yeah and allot more people will play since its free
Same reason Among Us is on the decline now. Its the equivalent to like... 1-3 Mario Party minigames. There's only so much you can do before it gets repetitive
In terms of the initial popularity, you totally glossed over the high marketing budget and the amount of youtubers/streamers that were paid the play/promote the game.
This dude sounds like the burger king foot lettuce guy. He drags out the word at the end of every sentence.
LOL
I’ve always hated fall guys for several reasons. 1: a one in 60 chance of winning? Seriously? 2: team games are horrible because your team is usually trash. 3: hackers and glitches. 4: the trolling is unfair. 5: it’s mostly based on luck. 6: like why would you make the center fan. It’s almost impossible. 7: you can’t expose the cheaters!!!!!
Fortnite is a 1 in a 100 chance of winning, so is cod warzone and pretty much every battle royale, but people love those. Hackers aren't as common as they used to be, so it looks like you're basing it off of how it was a year ago. I rarely get trolled now, and if I do it's pretty easy to get out of the troll. If you've played the game for a while and and don't just run through everything with no train of thought, you'll realize that (,although some of it luck based,) the majority of maps do have some skill needed. You can expose the cheaters (if you find one in game nowadays) through fall guys discord, but no in-game so I guess I agree with you on that. Also, Fall Guys recently went F2P so it will def rise in player count for a while. Sorry if i seemed a bit mad there lol just my response, and sorry for making and entire damn essay.
Its a decent game
All those you listed are YOU problems. If your teams trash, don't blame the game. It's not based on luck actually watch gameplay for once. Nobody even hacks anymore due to the addition of reporting. The center fan IS possible just get good. And if you don't like 1 in 60 chance of winning, play squads show or a different mode. Come back to me when you actually replay the game.
Just realised it does have an in game report system
I had a community of friends to play with, but after the servers became worse and worse, we weren't even able to finish an entire match without people disconnecting. Fun game but without a stable connection it was useless
I’m happy its back alive
Literally played it a couple of days ago and the matchmaking for 60 players took less than 20 seconds. I’ve played the sh** out of it and I’ve never had an issue, never found a cheater, never had connection problems.
So it doesn’t suck and it isn’t dead at all.
Bingo. I've tried to play old online games where I couldn't find a single match. Now that's an actual dead game.
I stopped playing Fall Guys because it became too competitive but it was a really fun and funny game
90% of finals are RNG. You don't need to be good to win, unless it's roll off of jump showdown
would've loved to play it 2 years ago, sadly it never released on xbox and the hype is over.
The worst part is that there are many rip offs way worse than fall guys getting more popularity than the current fall guys

Fall guys isn't dead it's still alive. On console
im still waiting for local multiplayer, cause this would be a fun one locally with friends
Ok, i loved fall guys, to me this is WAS the perfect battle royale, no microtransactions, a surprisingly competitive landscape, really rewarding wins, there was a point past s1 where i would boot up the game every day and grind for hours on end, nothing beat out this game for me, untill... Epic games services, yup, thats what killed the game for me, the fact that i had to use EGSe to play it made me so mad that i just left cold turkey, they could've made the game just better on steam and kept it consistent which is what i loved about it, but now i need stupid passthrough services to play my funny bean game, and sadly; i don't wanna have epic games spying on my pc, so i guess that was the end of an era for me, i left the game with 400 hours and all of the achievements done (one of only 2 of my games which i have 100% on steam) And thats not the worst of it, Fall guys is going to go F2P which to me just means that they are abandoning their old playerbase and pleasing new players, They are leaving the long time fans in the dirt and just trying to make a quick buck off of new people spending a few dollars on a skin, and so i just said: Hell no. and just left before that actually happened.

This game is 100% NOT dead just because fewer people play. We're still having fun. The only issue is that when too many people are on it can still kick you. That sort of disproves everything you said though because a dead game wouldn't have too many players.
it's always the developers fault, they don't listen to what the community wants until it's too late ...

imagine if among us wasnt popular at that time its possible fall guys would've been successful
But after 6 months I finally confirm Among us isn’t a reason make Fall Guys lost many player. The reason is the game problem because developers didn’t know the game will popular so how they can fix it fast like Among us got too.
short version : they killed themselves with no-report system and the fake-switch version that got announced to come out over a yr ago and still isnt here cuz they wanna add the crossplay so bad before dropping, that every potential player/buyer on switch or xbox wont pay anything anymore for it or even play it. self destruction. rlly sad cuz at the beginning it was rlly great, but then it started to only crashing or/and got ruined by hackers and is almost unplayable. hopefully switch version (xbox too) will drop before gta 6 lmaoooo

To anyone and everyone who is "personally offended" because people call Fall Guys dead... It has lost 95% of it's player base since release. That's what dead means. Just because 10,000 people still play it and YOU still find matches, doesn't mean the game is anything comparable to it's peak.
dead means that absolutely zero people play it anymore. the culling franchise is a good example of a dead franchise because it had only like 8 matches on the launch day before dropping to consistently ~1 concurrent player and shutting down
@@FilmBucketlol that’s not what dead means people are always still going to play games, if someone is cancelled it doesn’t mean they have 0 subscribers.
I still play fall guys and they made a lot of improvements. Crossplay and teams helps a lot with the multiplayer aspect. While the game's not dead, there's def a drop in players since you rarely get a full lobby anymore
This video aged like fine wine…
I still like to play fall guys every now & then but definitely not as much as I used to lol
I got falsebanned by their terrible anticheat early on so the game quickly hit a roadblock for me. Support team was somehow even more useless as the anticheat as they blindly trusted the anticheat and wouldn't say what got me banned. Eventually, this was replaced by the easy anticheat but the false bans from their awful anticheat still remain as far as I know. I looked this up on the internet a week or two ago and it seems I'm not the only one who encountered this.
I still know of at least 1 channel that streams Fall Guys. It’s definitely not as popular as it used to be, but it definitely isn’t dead. If there’s at least one person playing the game, it isn’t dead.
