Some thoughts: - Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes might also work for these criteria. - Games with bad downtime issues (like Super Mario Party) are great when you have friends over and also happen to have, like, a pizza on the table, so you can snack until your turn comes up. - Heave Ho and Unrailed are two of my favourite party games that not enough people talk about. I just wanted to say that out loud. - We are legally family, apparently. sorry.
My issue with KTNE is that for a lot of modules you need to establish what to call certain puzzles and elements, like the icons puzzle; one person says Psi, the other says a chandelier! It's hard to establish these things with brand new players
@@Shuroii well thats kinda the point your literally describing the difficulty coming from the people rather than the game.....idk just sounds like your complaining about the part I find fun & funny
I really like speedrunners but it has the same problem smash does to where when one person gets "too good" the other players aren't really allow to play the game. But when they are allowed, this game is such a blast
@@greyflow What I do when I play with my slightly worse friends is add even more handicaps in order to give them a fighting chance. It also helps to increase my skill at the things that I am allowed to use. For example, a couple of months after I started playing I was at the point where to make it fair I would only be allowed to use standard movement, so no grappling, items, or boosts in addition to using a golden character.
That last section about Jackbox hit really weird... He disapproved of Party Packs 8 & 9 and the Quiplash series, but worded it like they were fandom-wide opinions. Jay is the first human I've heard say they dislike Quiplash.
Legit when he implied people didnt like quiplash i was like huh???? Like if youre not playing with the best peeps for it sometimes it aint as fun but its still a great go to which is easy to learn and good for so many laughs.
I love the way you come up with genre guidelines that creates the perfect game and then follow through with not only great suggestions, but one that mets all the criteria. If anyone asks where all my money went, I'm going to point at my game library and then you.
5:55 If you think there's no skill gap in Ultimate Chicken and Horse you haven't played with non-gamers lol Tried to play with my sister and my parents and they struggled just to run and jump at the same time. My brother and I either had to sandbag which woukd be obvious and make the others feel bad, only be competitive with each other, or dominate completely. Was not fun. It's casual gamers and up only
And even with casual gamers, they're not gonna be able to take advantage of shit like coyote frames. The game has a bunch of bombs in it for when courses become too hard but I think most people would peer pressure you into not bombing the things actually making a course hard.
There are score handicaps in UCH for better players that work well for smaller skill gaps but I fully agree that players with no platformer experience will lose every time to good players.
To be fair, most non-gamers wouldn't be able to handle most games, let alone party games, the pre-request is probably that the people involved have at least played some games before, even only casually.
This is kind of why the nintendo DS was the golden age for party games. That download play option so many games had was amazing. Ofc you need to be local, but the amount of hours I played mario kart, mario bros and mario 64 multiplayer with my brother and sister is crazy
A few nights ago I was invited to come play JackBox with a few people on my college campus. It was the most fun I’ve had playing a game ever. Tee K.O was my favorite. All the insane drawings and quote combos really had me crying laughing
My favorite thing with games like Tee K.O. and Drawful is how a group of people can develop a set of jokes and gags that just continue to get funnier as they keep getting put together in new ways. At one point in a Tee K.O. game a drawing of a lawnmower with some nonsense caption got a riotous laugh, and for the rest of the night drawings of lawnmowers kept popping up and it just never stopped being funny.
What's fun is you can even order a t-shirt of the winning designs. I've got 2 I just ordered. One's maybe not safe to wear out in public depending on how people interpret "may I get freaky with you?"
Pummel Party and Duck game are both really fun party games that me and my friends have played a bunch. Maybe worth checking out. Outside of Party games, me and my friends have also enjoyed playing roguelites/roguelikes together a lot, like Ember Knights, 20XX and Never Split the Party. We're always looking for more party games to play together, so any suggestions are welcome! (As long as they are not just local with no online support)
He also said 8 sucked even though it has Job Job (peak), as well as saying he should be able to turn off hacks for Push The Button (which would make it extremely obvious who the aliens are). His Jackbox opinions are not to be trusted.
Counter point: the Cards Against Humanity issue. Most Jackbox games require you to perform and then be judged, which adds a lot of pressure and can alienate people. With close friends, it's not that big of an issue, but if you have a few (or even one!) Person who's weirder/edgier than everyone else, the whole party's vibe is off.
I’ve played Jackbox with a lot of people, and there are some games you can’t play with people you don’t know or people who have different senses of humor to you. I personally I think Tee KO is absolutely hilarious and an absolute blast to play, but I tried playing it at my family New Year’s Eve party and it flopped. Games like fibbage, trivia murder party, or drawful are way better for mixed groups because they’re enjoyable due to things other than player input.
Honestly, that's kind of only an issue in the first round. Afterwards, unless you have a group that completly lacks social awarness, you will usually quickly see how edgy you can go or what jokes the group finds funny. If your sorta-edgy gets no votes/laughs, you might wanna cool it a bit....
7:00 First time I'm happy I live in central because I swear to god every game developer forgets we exist and we get stuck on eastern or western servers
Love this take, agree 100% Good replacement for jackbox might be gartic phone, cuz it's free and people seem to get it a lot easier, also because of language barriers.
I am in love with the jackbox series. But the fact that they never go back and update even the most minor things drops it from like an s-tier down to a b-tier. There's so many games where we'd go from playing them a few times or even not at all to playing them constantly if they just changed one thing. But they don't, whyyyy
Gartic Phone really only has downtime issues and even then you can just continue to edit and perfect things while you wait, other than that the criteria is met I'd say
8:06 when your friends don’t even like jackbox besides you. They complain about the trivia being boring or outdated. Rarely even want to play. When they didn’t even buy the jackbox games, I bought them. Smh my head.
@@Slothchimesskill gap issue does also exist in chicken horse and in gang beasts you atleast have the ability to gang (hah) up on good players. Also basic controlls for it are sorta easy to learn
@NoFlu the controls are literally the reason i never played that game again. And i played smash melee completely. It controls like shit, maybe that was the point, but i hated it
@mystraunt2705 personally I think the physics may not make you always feel perfectly in control but it gives a big fun factor. Also in terms of party games it's just you and some friends playing local and I'm not sure everyone's gonna be on the higher end of skill for the game yk?
I'm glad to see you mentioned some games I've played (Speedrunners, Ultimate Chicken Horse) however, 1. Ultimate chicken horse is on other platforms besides the switch (so you don't need a membership to online), and 2. Skill gaps do show up there which limits the fun, and sometimes it gets beyond just shifting score down (although not always, because an underdog can make a secondary route and with a higher percentage + underdog boost, spring back up to the front).
I agree. I remember staying up playing a lot of these with my friends. I also remember the misery that is fucking around with Hamachi and telling myself the lag was worth the trouble. Jackbox is one of my go-to's for party games. I'm really looking forward to Dokapon Kingdom being re-released, too. Also, I just want to say, I love your use of Nichijou and Doki Doki tunes. It's the cherry on the sundae.
I am SO glad you talked about SpeedRunners, I've been trying to get my friends to play it with me for YEARS. Even though you can't play it over for a long time, it's a ton of fun the first couple of rounds. I think it would work better if it were a minigame in a bigger party game.
Yo dude, just discovered this, you made me smile at least 10 times during this video, your weird crow sprite somehow works, the pace feels great and your meta humor is on point, keep it up, thank you
Ah yes, Mario party for n64, the grandfather of party games, humble, simple, the first of its kind. You can tell because my palms have been bleeding profusely the entire time I've been typing this.
you know, my thought was ain't no way this man makes a whole website for a seconds long bit in 7:10 of the video... but I decided to check anyway... first off, I am not going to spoil it, no it is not a rick roll, I am impressed but also seething with anger, and why would anyone do this much effort for 5 second bit! I also decided to check the site with inspect element, and tbh the most hanjous of crimes is the source to the video is from fucking discord out of all places
oh yeah! Reccomendation here, with all the things you said I think Frantic fanfic is in fact, a TOP TIER party game by those standarts. Go try it with friends, its free, its for all devices and dont let the word fanfic scare you, its a BANGER
I've noticed a lot of people mention the skill gap issue with Ultimate Chicken Horse but modifier settings also exist, plus you can change the points settings. I make it so bizarre with my friends that even I, a pretty good player, will tend to lose matches against them. The settings are there to make it a more even playing field lol
Yep you can handicap yourself to only 80% of the points, or you can increase comeback points, or you can add a respawn option etc etc. The game is like infinitely replayable just because of how much shit you can do in it and mess with the modifiers
It's funny that you bring up board games at the beginning of the video because the way I see it, Jackbox, the game you say ticks all 4 boxes, plays like a digital board game
Really fun video (also very fun of you of getting me caramell'd); loved the shoutout to Ultimate Chicken Horse and Speedrunners as those two are goated party games (though I would have also mentioned Duck Game and Boomerang Fu). I have watched videos of people Jackbox and it looks mad fun with silly enough friends, though I'd have to figure out not only how (and when) to convince my friends to try these with me; the other barrier was language as it seems that only a handful of Jackbox games are officially translated to Spanish, but it seems that most of the Jackbox Part games are translated...so it is a matter of time on when :) Also, shoutouts to anything that can be played for free (online or not) for very obvious reasons, and also thought that you would make the fourth point before revealing it about netcode (I was guessing solely because of "The Nintendo Problem" and multiple locations mentioned looking like something leading up to netcode problems lol)
Highly highly recommend rounds. My favorite 1v1 game to play, that is incredibly repayable and the skill gap can be adjusted by taking worse upgrades. It has a rouguelike upgrade system where you pick a card that effects your build every time you lose a round. So the player who's getting beaten is getting stronger and stronger. Fantastic game and I absolutely love how twitchy and good the movement is.
one thing you didnt point out about speedrunners is that the skill ceiling is incredibly high for a party game. it kinda goes hand in hand with how you said the game isnt replayable because the game can become monotenous, but if that doesnt slow you down, you ruin the game for everyone else because you´re just innately faster than everyone else, either from experience of the map which may let you frontrun with minimal risk, or tech like tackles, fast falls, crate blocking, effective grapple use etc.
Yep. The speedrunners skill ceiling is unbelievably high. I find it more oppressive than someone being too good at smash because at least in smash everyone can team up against the biggest threat and basically frame trap them for doing anything. The items also feel like they don't minimize the skill gaps in the same way they do in something like mario kart. Most items can be avoided in most situations with enough skill and positioning imo, so there isn't really anything like a blue shell. I don't know if this is true or not so I might be wrong, but it *feels* like you have equal chances of getting any item regardless of placement. So in first you can still get the bullet bill-like invincidrill for a free win. Or you can just use map knowledge to place unavoidable traps. Still absolutely adore the game though and I'm rly glad it's being talked about here. More people should play it honestly.
3:07 getting points despite losing is supposed to fight against a negative feedback loop; In a game where the worst player doesn't receive any points, they won't be able to buy any perks, putting them at a disadvantage against those who probably can purchase perks, _decreasing_ their overall chances of winning, putting them at risk of losing again, which means no coins, which means no perks, which means losing again, so on and so forth. I can't defend the other stuff though
this may not be as"video game" as something like ultimate chicken horse, but jackbox has proven itself to be a long-standing entry in the list of party games that are most commonly played with me in the homies edit: holy shit 8:00 I called it
currently sitting through carameldansen, I have absolute faith that there will be something worth it on the other side of this EDIT: Aaaaany second now EDIT EDIT: man somebody really looked at those face proportions and thought "yeah, that looks good." Song is still a banger though EDIT EDIT EDIT: anybody else realized that tiktok basically reinvented nightcore but with lofi and folk music
The fact that the friend link actually works and is not a generic rickroll makes me wish it was real even more Another banger video, glad i found your channel ^^
Let's hope eventually we get a jackbox top 10 games party pack so we won't have to buy several versions just to get the games we want. Or even better, a custom jackbox order so everyone gets EXACTLY what they want.
Ultimate chicken horse skill gaps, not really People who have mastered the movement can make the level as hard as possible for others while still being able to finish it. Other players can make things easier but since all winners=no points they are lot more hesitant on making things easier than the good guy is on making things 10x harder. There is the comeback point bonus if you win, IF
Mario Kart Wii is still my favorite party game of all time the memories are amazing and it was just so fun and quick so you could play a few rounds then just move on to the next thing
I’ve been really enjoying PlateUp, it’s like Overcooked but you can also start automating your kitchen. Randomizing maps and mods definitely made the game infinitely repayable.
As a Texan, I tried to visit your site, and I think it is bugged. All that was there was a video of the 3 most masculine men in Sweden. Please take down this European propaganda or at least put a content warning so that people are not subjected to Europe without their consent.
Ultimate Chicken Horse absolutely has a skill gap problem. Make the level too hard for everyone but yourself. The only way for other players to stop you is to make the level impossible for everyone, but that just keeps you in the lead until the end of the game. This happened with me and the ones I tried to play the game with.

Totally agree. Sometimes using golden skins helps but a lot of the time it makes it impossible to avoid dying like if you start in any kind of boost
chicken horse is the same way.
If you suck at platforming games but your friends don't then you just end up not having fun with anyone
That’s why you activate stupid game modes like insta-death 👍

"Stop re-releasing games that nobody likes"

Easily the worst take I've heard on this channel

I think the only problems with quiplash 3 is the lack of a skip tutorial button and thriplash, I preferred the big board from the first quiplash.
Every video you release has a funnier script and better delivery than the last, you are going to be huge someday soon mark my words

Yep you can handicap yourself to only 80% of the points, or you can increase comeback points, or you can add a respawn option etc etc.
The game is like infinitely replayable just because of how much shit you can do in it and mess with the modifiers
It's funny that you bring up board games at the beginning of the video because the way I see it, Jackbox, the game you say ticks all 4 boxes, plays like a digital board game
Really fun video (also very fun of you of getting me caramell'd); loved the shoutout to Ultimate Chicken Horse and Speedrunners as those two are goated party games (though I would have also mentioned Duck Game and Boomerang Fu). I have watched videos of people Jackbox and it looks mad fun with silly enough friends, though I'd have to figure out not only how (and when) to convince my friends to try these with me; the other barrier was language as it seems that only a handful of Jackbox games are officially translated to Spanish, but it seems that most of the Jackbox Part games are translated...so it is a matter of time on when :)
Also, shoutouts to anything that can be played for free (online or not) for very obvious reasons, and also thought that you would make the fourth point before revealing it about netcode (I was guessing solely because of "The Nintendo Problem" and multiple locations mentioned looking like something leading up to netcode problems lol)

bro has literally never had an inside joke with friends
Man I love the Jay channels ❤
s?
Shit, looks like I was missing out
@@hundvd_7 there’s a certain history jay… not to mention the Live channel
Highly highly recommend rounds. My favorite 1v1 game to play, that is incredibly repayable and the skill gap can be adjusted by taking worse upgrades. It has a rouguelike upgrade system where you pick a card that effects your build every time you lose a round. So the player who's getting beaten is getting stronger and stronger. Fantastic game and I absolutely love how twitchy and good the movement is.
one thing you didnt point out about speedrunners is that the skill ceiling is incredibly high for a party game. it kinda goes hand in hand with how you said the game isnt replayable because the game can become monotenous, but if that doesnt slow you down, you ruin the game for everyone else because you´re just innately faster than everyone else, either from experience of the map which may let you frontrun with minimal risk, or tech like tackles, fast falls, crate blocking, effective grapple use etc.
Yep. The speedrunners skill ceiling is unbelievably high. I find it more oppressive than someone being too good at smash because at least in smash everyone can team up against the biggest threat and basically frame trap them for doing anything. The items also feel like they don't minimize the skill gaps in the same way they do in something like mario kart. Most items can be avoided in most situations with enough skill and positioning imo, so there isn't really anything like a blue shell. I don't know if this is true or not so I might be wrong, but it *feels* like you have equal chances of getting any item regardless of placement. So in first you can still get the bullet bill-like invincidrill for a free win. Or you can just use map knowledge to place unavoidable traps. Still absolutely adore the game though and I'm rly glad it's being talked about here. More people should play it honestly.
3:07 getting points despite losing is supposed to fight against a negative feedback loop; In a game where the worst player doesn't receive any points, they won't be able to buy any perks, putting them at a disadvantage against those who probably can purchase perks, _decreasing_ their overall chances of winning, putting them at risk of losing again, which means no coins, which means no perks, which means losing again, so on and so forth.
I can't defend the other stuff though
this may not be as"video game" as something like ultimate chicken horse, but jackbox has proven itself to be a long-standing entry in the list of party games that are most commonly played with me in the homies
edit: holy shit 8:00 I called it
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood music playing while you're talking about Mario Party is hilarious. Truly the philosophical question of our time.
currently sitting through carameldansen, I have absolute faith that there will be something worth it on the other side of this
EDIT: Aaaaany second now
EDIT EDIT: man somebody really looked at those face proportions and thought "yeah, that looks good." Song is still a banger though
EDIT EDIT EDIT: anybody else realized that tiktok basically reinvented nightcore but with lofi and folk music
Dude, I love being in your WII family! WII SPORTS BABBBBY!
I love how 2:45 is the most replayed 💀
Bruh 😂
It's from 2:34 to 2:50 but close enough
@@gregoryderyWhat
I love jackbox for a party game but you’re def wrong about quipplash, it’s one of the best ones
The fact that the friend link actually works and is not a generic rickroll makes me wish it was real even more
Another banger video, glad i found your channel ^^
Coincidence that I get a Jackbox Ad on this video? I think not.
Ballsack caught me off guard at 1:36
Let's hope eventually we get a jackbox top 10 games party pack so we won't have to buy several versions just to get the games we want. Or even better, a custom jackbox order so everyone gets EXACTLY what they want.
Its gonna be jackbox im calling it now
8:08
other games that fulfill this criteria also includes gartic phone and King of the castle
Ultimate chicken horse skill gaps, not really
People who have mastered the movement can make the level as hard as possible for others while still being able to finish it. Other players can make things easier but since all winners=no points they are lot more hesitant on making things easier than the good guy is on making things 10x harder. There is the comeback point bonus if you win, IF
The quiplash slander is crazy work my friend
Never thought that being Caramell Dansened would be better than being Rick Rolled
Mario Kart Wii is still my favorite party game of all time the memories are amazing and it was just so fun and quick so you could play a few rounds then just move on to the next thing
8:18 CHILE MENTIONED
I just love how he knew crawl, just revisited it with some friends and I kinda bullied them with 2 slime upgrades.
Have you played Pummel Party? It is an indie version for Mario Party. Definitely needs more maps/boards but is solid
I’ve been really enjoying PlateUp, it’s like Overcooked but you can also start automating your kitchen. Randomizing maps and mods definitely made the game infinitely repayable.
@@happyplum2822 overcooked is super fun
Mario party 9 is my whole life. Unfortunetly we didnt have wii sports
WE ARE FAMIILY 🎶
I was actually saying jackbox for the entierety of the video so yay
ultimate chicken horse better
Ok
The way the silhouette moves like a literal fidgety bird 😭
1:59 THE WAY I HOLLERED LMAOO
Hahg
We all saw jackbox filling the criteria from the start, lets be honest
just found this channel, and i'm having a blast. loving all your videos thus far. definitely gatekeeping newer fans when you get more popular.
I love quiplash and fibbage tho !! I hope they make one whole jackbox with only sequels to both of those games just to spite you
3:01
you...huh wanna tell us something ?
i'm listening ( load shotgun )
I'm just so surprised you nailed how people play said party games so perfectly.
As a Texan, I tried to visit your site, and I think it is bugged. All that was there was a video of the 3 most masculine men in Sweden. Please take down this European propaganda or at least put a content warning so that people are not subjected to Europe without their consent.
Killer video but it would have been nice to hear more about jackbox since I don't know it
Ultimate Chicken Horse absolutely has a skill gap problem. Make the level too hard for everyone but yourself. The only way for other players to stop you is to make the level impossible for everyone, but that just keeps you in the lead until the end of the game. This happened with me and the ones I tried to play the game with.

3:00 that background is from my favorite regular show episode
Ayeee those hours struggling with Hamachi got the bois a Minecraft server back in the day! 💪🏽
Iam from israel
it's the first time ive heard anyone else talk about speedrunners it's SO GOOD
the amount of party games my friends and I convicted ourselves to buy some $10 party game we probably played twice is insane
Also great party game: Rounds. Meats all the criteria, and especially with all of the amazing mods people made.
