@@musicismyIifestyle same!! im so interested in the lore but theres so much and it sometimes gets annoying that its before every stage(especially if im stuck on a stage for awhile and i have to keep skipping it every time!) so i always jst skip it

i used to play in fall of 2021 but stopped sometime around january or february of 2022, and just started playing again two weeks ago. i forgot how fun this game is :)
Same. I was the literal same time but played longer. Stopped in April, came back the October after I started playing, quit again 4 months later, just got back into it
Yknow when i first met many people in the town square it felt like i was in a small community, it feels rather refreshing despite never being in a community before I see so many communties that are big like fnf and such have alot of crazies and some genuine masterpieces of music or mods but crk it feels rather nice to be in.
i wish townsquare had a little more to it than waiting simulation tbh, something that can only be done with friends(bar the cleanup and codes because those are boring as hell)
I played CRK since the day it launched, and loved it. Then after a while I got my first full time job, and it was just impossible to keep playing, there were too many events and modes at once that I had to keep track of, and it kept getting worse and worse, so I had to quit... I never went back to it, but I stayed updated via social media, and it looks like it just got even worse since I left, magic candies, super rare cookies, soul gems or whatever those are... I genuinely don't know how anyone with a job and social life can keep playing it without feeling overwhelmed 😭 I still long for the game and wish I could play it a bit, along with CROB, but it's just too much
exactly. i played the game when i just got into high school and loved it so much i could swear i would die for the game. but then, i eventually got into the second semester of 12th grade, it was so overwhelming because i had a lot on my plate in real life. getting into college, exams, and not to mention it was at the time where guild battles were so competitive, i got burned out so fast... i cant even manage the events that i had in real life, let alone the events in game T_T i was recently thinking of getting back into the game, but looking at the updates... i personally think it got worse to do a follow up
@@jackiejonesjefferson Exact same situation here, which is especially sad because personally I played for the characters like Mango and Red Velvet because I just love them a lot. Tempted to play again, but I know that if I want to get gems for new characters, competing in the arena will be absolute hell.
i've been playing since espresso banner, balancing is definitely not their strong suit. ever since they started adding random additional passives on the new cookies, it was a race to build the new meta, and then they'll try to balance it out by buffing old cookies, only to be outmeta'd after a couple of updates again, and then they started creating encyclopedias on the skill descriptions and now the power gap widened. I mean yeah it's fun but even f2p og players like me are just getting tired from hoarding and building again and again. I wish they hired a veteran dev that specializes in balancing/reworking, that way all cookies even the common and rares are still utilized in the meta
tbh idk what you expect its a gacha game and wind archer is an elemental cookie and creme brulee is a cookie on a piano its not really a shocker and i dont really get why people complain when everyone got a free wind archer if they actually tried
@@SBerrioww maybe its my team comp, but in the same team creme Brulee would do like 2-3 mill dmg and wind archer would do like 57 mill dmg. i was expecting it to be better, but not this much. in fact, if in arena i see the enemy uses wind archer with 3 stars and above, i would not even bother to fight it.
i joined crk in december 2021, and it was great. i would play 24/7, but now since ive progressed so far in the game theres not much use in playing anymore. yeah ill come back if an update interests me (like the faerie kingdom and burning spice) but really i dont touch the game as much as i used to, and neither do my friends. I miss the old crk tbh
I started in October 2021 but I suck so I haven’t progressed far. I started playing again quite recently (2-3 weeks ago) and how much they’re helping has helped a TON. Kingdom level 43 and episode 13 right now on that account
i think the game is just, slowly dyinhg, with more greedy they have been going slowly, creators who were big left, or called out with huge actions, or other reasons. im not sure if theyll be as big then they were esp with the sonic collab, i think if they fix up things, make the game less p2w, make it run better on older devices, rework the chances to get cookies, and how much rewards from events, arena, guild, or updates, then its possbile to get tthe game going again inm terms of popularity
The events and upcoming updates are peak CRK bro, im a completely f2p player never spent a cent, and i managed to achieve GM3 this season, cleared all trays, got massive dmg in guild boss, expert in c. Alliance and complete all world explorations except 5-30 beast yeast hard.. not that p2w actually
Im f2p and just came back after not playing for a year, and got two copies of ancient dark cacao, got burning spice and wind archer during their banners I think its a win
I started playing crk in December 2021 the game was super fun and all until mid 2023 that's where the intense powercreep in almost every update started like devsis got so greedy to the point they didn't even care about their player base. Ngl it feels like it's too late to start playing crk if your planning to play it for the first time cause of the powercreep if you don't get lucky in the gacha then get ready to suffer in the arena 😢 I wish the old crk would come back 😔
What else should they do though as a mobile game developer trying to make new updates “exciting” obviously people want cookies that are relevant in the current meta so power creep is natural. When I leave and come back to CRK I want to know that if I pull the new units that those units will be useful
I started a Brand New account 3 weeks ago and I'm already in Elite. Plus in the townhall they mentioned they are going to work on Powercreep. I think its a great time to get into the game! But I respect your opinion. 😎
@@CommonCookie They will never be able to put a cap on powercreep without introducing nerfs in the balance changes. I'm glad we're actually GETTING balance changes, some of them could be better (I'm sorry, but the Sea Fairy buffs were BAD and they buffed STORMBRINGER when she was already quite strong). I know it's a gacha game, but you can't only buff cookies because the power creep will just be rising higher and higher.
I started playing like November/december 2021 and stopped playing sometime in may 2022 I think. I kept up with the story tho and earlier this year when white lily came out I started playing the game again, however I stopped playing AGAIN when stormbringer cookie came out, because the game began crashing every two seconds and its really annoying 😭
Tbh the reason why i downloaded the game in the first place is because of the story XD I got so invested on a like fan made animation and went to download the game myself HAHHAHA
I’ve been on CRK since the first update. Around 2023, I just kind of stopped playing. Not just CRK, but Ovenbreak and Puzzle World to. There wasn’t any factors in my life that prevented me from playing. I think somewhere around that time, Devsis started to appeal much more to new players, and forgot that veteran players even existed. Pure Vanilla server is rough. Around early 2023, I still played a lot of OvenBreak, but started to drop Kingdom. Not just because of OB, but because I started playing a lot of other Gacha games (Azur Lane, Snowbreak, Battle Cats, KFK). I eventually dropped pretty much every CR game by 2024, thinking of it as just a dumb phase of my life i’ve moved on from. I still reinstall Kingdom to claim rewards and see if ANYTHING has changed, but then uninstall when I realize nothing has changed. I see some similar sentiment from other veteran players. Games updates all feel the same. I’m not sure when, but I believe when Cotton Cookie came out, all of the events became “do quest, get story.” All Cookie Run games have this problem, but with others, you can modify the gameplay for the specific event. To me, it seems hard to make Kingdom’s main “gameplay” different or interesting. I really do miss those first few updates, when the world was expanding and updates felt fresh. It also doesn’t help old modes or updates are completely forgotten. I still remember when that cake tower thing came out, and found it so cool. Now when I reinstall, I forget it even exists since it’s at the very back of the modes section. Does anyone even still use the Mango Cookie island thing? Kingdom is still a good game, if your a new player.
I dont really play arena and i dont care about meta:)) i just play something i enjoy I love the stories and the overall gameplay Nothing to complain about I m a veteran player and i also got a pause for a couple of months and i come back yesterday Its feels refreshing
(Im sorry in advance but, rant warning, heres my take) Hey! Been playing since the start of the Disney Update. I think this game got worse once Crimson Coral was added, when they redid the arena format, whalers went through the roof. I whaled a LITTLE bit back in the day, but it was primarily for cosmetics i.e the costume gacha or kingdom pass to get landmarks, but these people who get 5*A legendaries within a month of a new legendary or ancient releasing is bullshit. NOT TO MENTION THE GACHA IS RIGGED AS HELL for older players and or whalers who get those 80,000 gem rewards for consistently placing in the top of the Arena. On top of the fact that if youre that high up, when it resets, youre still in master rank. WHY NOT SET EVERYONE TO A 0 RANK AT THE START OF A NEW SEASON?! I've had updates where I have god tier luck pulling ancients, legendaries, new cookies and costumes left and right, then Ill have a 6 month period where my luck is BULLSHIT, and I keep getting...goddamn Angel Cookie Soulstones. The worst part is, TOA is a kinda mid cookie run game, and I wish we either got a new update to balance all the changes, or got a new game with a similar format to crk, with the whole story based kingdom building asset. The community, especially the competitive and shipping parts of the community, are also, fucking psychotic! You either have whalers, people who grind the game to an unhealthy amount, or you have the shippers who claim a fictional character and will fucking doxx you over you liking a different ship or being a simp for or even liking one cookie! I swear this community needs help and seeing as how it was my first cookie run game, not a great introduction. Why is the community so toxic, if anyone knows just say it in a reply. Look, I love the game but the community just makes the whole experience just...depressing, and somewhat unplayable. I wish the community was nicer... ☹
Let put it this way. I have played more than one Gatcha game so far in my life and the main factor for me to "quit" a game is when it has powercreep issues. Two examples that I used to played were Final Fantasy Brave Envius and Fire Emblem Heroes. The latter I felt glad on quitting earlier as that game shut down global side last month! The short version (become a wall of text if I explained everything) is the two games had become frustation thank to the new unit/ rarity and game mechanic that powercreep the whole game. This in turns make the game less fun to played and became a chore to login everyday. When it come to CRK, this has not happened "yet". The key different between CRK and the past two gatcha game is basically the pity system in that the gatcha rate is more "fair" cos the game focus more about pulling more than one of the same cookie. Ok FeH had this too (pulled 40 times to get a focus units) however their banner feature 1-4 new characters meaning the currenry used in those banner drain ALOT more when compared to CRK Cookie cutter or crystals which you get tons of! That being said however, I don't think the game is not newbie friendly right now. Like if you start the game right now, it's alot harder to get the ancient/ legendary and beast cookies even with the pity rate. I mean you can still get far but not on the more difficulty stuff like hard or master mode and aswell the pvp side to it!
I still remember when i first played crk, 19th september of 2021, damn, i've been playing some random cookie game for over 3 years, i love this game... Also i loved that they put on the portuguese sub, since i am from Brazil, seeing my favorite game being translated to my language made me felt more comforted on playing cookie run kingdom, but sadly, all good things end in someway, sadly they removed the portuguese sub :( but i still play and like the game, my account is pretty stacked now, i have almost all the cookies except mystic flour and burning spice, i hope i get them soon... And i never spent a cent on crk
I played from the start of 2022 to middle of 2023, and can i be honest, i left because the updates and tasks were so repetitive and it started being way to much p2w even if i was very far in the game as a f2p player
I play the game a lot off and on, I usually will play for a few months then stop for like half a year, and then I come back and get a whole bunch of welcome back items
I was a huge fan of crk, literally awaiting its release when it came out. I spent so much time on it just to end up leaving the game during the BTS update. I don’t play it anymore, but I get videos like this time to time. I do think the community has gotten smaller from when I last played, feels like it calmed down. I still remember grinding to get sea fairy cookie & getting so hyped lmao
Cookie run is so incredibly frustrating as a F2P player but so damn addicting at the same time. It's like they can tell when you're getting frustrated with the gacha system and they give you absolutely everything you wanted
Only came to this video to say I just started playing a few days ago, and that I play often, I didn’t know nothing about it and so I played because of a friend
I started playing crk back in September 2021 and it had a CHOKEHOLD on me. For all of fall and winter 2021 it was my go to game. Ever since then i had a love hate relationship whit the game itself, with my phone storage oftenly being too filled up for updates, or just not caring enough for some events. Nowadays I really just stick around for the story and characters, since its really the only good part of the game. Id usually just binge the story immediately when an update comes out and then dip later. The gameplay has just become so repetitive and grindy. The new burning spice update is kinda hooking me back in again, but thats mostly just because i really like his and golden cheese's characters lol 😭 Once i get him I probably wont play as much again. It kinda sucks really, this game has made some od my favorite characters of all time but i just cant force myself to enjoy it. Also side tangent but the community has become SOOO boring, it might just be me outgrowing fandoms in general or the wildly low amounts of content but everything feels so stale and everybody feels like they havent progressed their humor since 2021 😭
Don't get me wrong I love this game but god dam it do I hate the optimization. I swear as much as I can complain about limited gachas and whatnot but its not even comparable to that of the poor optimization problems. It is soooooo annoying to be just playing to game on a mobile device and have it crash every 30 minutes the game just becomes a virtual loading into the actual game screen. this doesn't only apply here but it also applies to toa but im not gonna go there since thats not what this is about, it is worth noting that somehow ovenbreak and witch's castle somehow just don't crash as much despite the other games doing so. Ill just be wanting to play the game casually on my phone or whatever and doing the story or whatever and then it'll just close and ill have to go back in to actually continue what I was doing. Multiply that x25 and it gets really annoying. Whenever an update comes out I get excited and want to come back to the game but then Im reminded of how I can never play longer than 15 minutes without having to relogin and that just discourages me to ever go back into game truly (I play every now and then but never try and make big progress because of the crashing making me feel demotivated to play) I really love the game, but I just want to play without the game telling me no because of my "poor device" unless an apple iphone 13 is and im just ranting for nothing but still. I know this is incredibly long and I apologize for that, but I really just want to share all my thoughts and not leave any points I have unnoticed here. I still love the video though as it does very well summarize a general standpoint of the game state while making players aware of general affects of game companies that people may not be aware of. Good stuff
i played crk and then deleted my acc bcz i couldn’t get passed this one part😭😭 but i’ve recently started it again and i honestly forgot how fun it was! i’ve been playing for 2 weeks and im alr on world 10
@THE_END.ヽ basically the drama started because of the fact that they originally wanted awakened dark cacao as a seperate cookie and they also originally wanted to add the awakened rarity however the community was enraged heck the whales were mad too because of the fact that the beast rarity was already added and the community said that devsister were greedy for money so devsister decided to not add the rarity however the whales decided to not ascend the newer cookies to 5A like legendary,beast etc(except the epic cookies) after the drama
personally i stopped playing it because of how poorly optimised it is, idk if it was like this for everyone but it was crashing constantly for me and it got worse with most of the updates
Tbh, I feel like the actual game, and by that I mean the gameplay and story, isn't all that. The main appeal of the game is the Cookies themselves, as well as the art style, music. I would love to play another game in the cookie run universe, but when it comes to crk, I feel like you can only play so much before it gets boring, and the loop of completing dailies, maybe doing some arena and some story, and then waiting till the next day just feels like a chore, especially when you still can't unlock the one cookie you've been wanting for months.
I Left the game long ago because it became just plain boring. It was just the same thing over and over, was very p2w, very gamble like, and very big to the point where it would not even let me play as it would crash with 5 minutes of loading into the game. I was very disappointed seeing it become like this.
Commoncookie would you like to read my crk angst fanfiction (It's good trust). I think that fandom and fanfic is a big part of keeping the community and game alive, part of it is discussing the characters and interacting are a big part of the community that has grown 4
I'm not really playing much like I used to last year. I completed most of the storyline and collected all the cookies, so i don't really interested in playing
Actually, since i mentioned fnf, I wonder which fnf track would fit burning spice cookie best? Subterfuge with lyrics or drop and roll? If anyone sees this comment, can you do a vote on that please because i think both of them fit well but the best one has tb subterfuge with lyrics and i think someone should do like a animation of that really.
Actually i have a solution to maybe help with the arena are any of you with me on this? Why won't we make another arena called the legend stadium, where super epic+ cookies are allowed and the cookies from the original arena are no longer allowed except specials for they are allowed on both the intention is that we want new players yes? Would it make sense if we seperate the original arena and split that in two one for epics and lower while the other for super epics and more. That can help crk because it brings the new players in when they are unlucky and only have epics, i ask if you understand where im going at yes?
i stoped playing bc it looks boring and meanless, i dont wanna do anything now i dont care abt the new cookies bc i will not use them, i think its pay to win
I swear CommonCookie just played the game so he can use it for his Dissertations 😂😂😂
For me I’m here for the lore. It has me in a chokehold. If they change writers and the story is weak, I’m gone 😭🤣
I feel like someday I should actually start getting into the lore, I have cleared every single stage and all of the stories I think but every time I saw a "skip" button I immediately clicked on it

I'm an OG crk fan, i've been in the community since 2021 but started playing just last year and i can say with ALL CONFIDENCE that crk is not dead.
I miss 2021 CRK 😭
I played since the caramel arrow update and stoped playing when the first beast cookie came i forgot her name
I dont really play arena and i dont care about meta:))
i just play something i enjoy
I love the stories and the overall gameplay
Nothing to complain about
I m a veteran player and i also got a pause for a couple of months and i come back yesterday
Its feels refreshing
(Im sorry in advance but, rant warning, heres my take) Hey! Been playing since the start of the Disney Update. I think this game got worse once Crimson Coral was added, when they redid the arena format, whalers went through the roof. I whaled a LITTLE bit back in the day, but it was primarily for cosmetics i.e the costume gacha or kingdom pass to get landmarks, but these people who get 5*A legendaries within a month of a new legendary or ancient releasing is bullshit. NOT TO MENTION THE GACHA IS RIGGED AS HELL for older players and or whalers who get those 80,000 gem rewards for consistently placing in the top of the Arena. On top of the fact that if youre that high up, when it resets, youre still in master rank. WHY NOT SET EVERYONE TO A 0 RANK AT THE START OF A NEW SEASON?! I've had updates where I have god tier luck pulling ancients, legendaries, new cookies and costumes left and right, then Ill have a 6 month period where my luck is BULLSHIT, and I keep getting...goddamn Angel Cookie Soulstones. The worst part is, TOA is a kinda mid cookie run game, and I wish we either got a new update to balance all the changes, or got a new game with a similar format to crk, with the whole story based kingdom building asset. The community, especially the competitive and shipping parts of the community, are also, fucking psychotic! You either have whalers, people who grind the game to an unhealthy amount, or you have the shippers who claim a fictional character and will fucking doxx you over you liking a different ship or being a simp for or even liking one cookie! I swear this community needs help and seeing as how it was my first cookie run game, not a great introduction. Why is the community so toxic, if anyone knows just say it in a reply. Look, I love the game but the community just makes the whole experience just...depressing, and somewhat unplayable. I wish the community was nicer... ☹
Why is it toxic? Cuz it got popular in tiktok, that's all
Trust me, I’ve met plenty of different people in the community
Let put it this way. I have played more than one Gatcha game so far in my life and the main factor for me to "quit" a game is when it has powercreep issues. Two examples that I used to played were Final Fantasy Brave Envius and Fire Emblem Heroes. The latter I felt glad on quitting earlier as that game shut down global side last month!
The short version (become a wall of text if I explained everything) is the two games had become frustation thank to the new unit/ rarity and game mechanic that powercreep the whole game. This in turns make the game less fun to played and became a chore to login everyday.
When it come to CRK, this has not happened "yet". The key different between CRK and the past two gatcha game is basically the pity system in that the gatcha rate is more "fair" cos the game focus more about pulling more than one of the same cookie. Ok FeH had this too (pulled 40 times to get a focus units) however their banner feature 1-4 new characters meaning the currenry used in those banner drain ALOT more when compared to CRK Cookie cutter or crystals which you get tons of!
That being said however, I don't think the game is not newbie friendly right now. Like if you start the game right now, it's alot harder to get the ancient/ legendary and beast cookies even with the pity rate. I mean you can still get far but not on the more difficulty stuff like hard or master mode and aswell the pvp side to it!
common cookie for president!

I still remember when i first played crk, 19th september of 2021, damn, i've been playing some random cookie game for over 3 years, i love this game...
Also i loved that they put on the portuguese sub, since i am from Brazil, seeing my favorite game being translated to my language made me felt more comforted on playing cookie run kingdom, but sadly, all good things end in someway, sadly they removed the portuguese sub :( but i still play and like the game, my account is pretty stacked now, i have almost all the cookies except mystic flour and burning spice, i hope i get them soon...
And i never spent a cent on crk
Thanks for watching the video. I bless you for your next fateful gacha pull. 🙏
@@CommonCookie Ty bro 🙏
I played from the start of 2022 to middle of 2023, and can i be honest, i left because the updates and tasks were so repetitive and it started being way to much p2w even if i was very far in the game as a f2p player
2021 crk tiktok make played the game 😭
I play the game a lot off and on, I usually will play for a few months then stop for like half a year, and then I come back and get a whole bunch of welcome back items
It’s always been good to me and I always love the new cookies and lore expanding!!
You have to take Tower Of Adventures, Puzzle World, Witch's Castle & Ovenbreak also into consideration, when it's comes to the general income.
Yeah for sure but from what I gathered CRK is their pride and joy right now, Tower of Adventures just started to walk.
I was a huge fan of crk, literally awaiting its release when it came out. I spent so much time on it just to end up leaving the game during the BTS update. I don’t play it anymore, but I get videos like this time to time. I do think the community has gotten smaller from when I last played, feels like it calmed down. I still remember grinding to get sea fairy cookie & getting so hyped lmao
if u look at the arena 2 years ago, it's much less messy than now..
Cookie run is so incredibly frustrating as a F2P player but so damn addicting at the same time. It's like they can tell when you're getting frustrated with the gacha system and they give you absolutely everything you wanted
Only came to this video to say I just started playing a few days ago, and that I play often, I didn’t know nothing about it and so I played because of a friend
*choking on my food from hearing the future updates* my damn pizza rolls…
I started playing crk back in September 2021 and it had a CHOKEHOLD on me. For all of fall and winter 2021 it was my go to game. Ever since then i had a love hate relationship whit the game itself, with my phone storage oftenly being too filled up for updates, or just not caring enough for some events.
Nowadays I really just stick around for the story and characters, since its really the only good part of the game. Id usually just binge the story immediately when an update comes out and then dip later. The gameplay has just become so repetitive and grindy.
The new burning spice update is kinda hooking me back in again, but thats mostly just because i really like his and golden cheese's characters lol 😭 Once i get him I probably wont play as much again. It kinda sucks really, this game has made some od my favorite characters of all time but i just cant force myself to enjoy it.
Also side tangent but the community has become SOOO boring, it might just be me outgrowing fandoms in general or the wildly low amounts of content but everything feels so stale and everybody feels like they havent progressed their humor since 2021 😭
Day 1 player, left when the ascension is upgraded. I know how much this game becomes p2w.
Don't get me wrong I love this game but god dam it do I hate the optimization. I swear as much as I can complain about limited gachas and whatnot but its not even comparable to that of the poor optimization problems. It is soooooo annoying to be just playing to game on a mobile device and have it crash every 30 minutes the game just becomes a virtual loading into the actual game screen. this doesn't only apply here but it also applies to toa but im not gonna go there since thats not what this is about, it is worth noting that somehow ovenbreak and witch's castle somehow just don't crash as much despite the other games doing so.
Ill just be wanting to play the game casually on my phone or whatever and doing the story or whatever and then it'll just close and ill have to go back in to actually continue what I was doing. Multiply that x25 and it gets really annoying.
Whenever an update comes out I get excited and want to come back to the game but then Im reminded of how I can never play longer than 15 minutes without having to relogin and that just discourages me to ever go back into game truly (I play every now and then but never try and make big progress because of the crashing making me feel demotivated to play)
I really love the game, but I just want to play without the game telling me no because of my "poor device" unless an apple iphone 13 is and im just ranting for nothing but still.
I know this is incredibly long and I apologize for that, but I really just want to share all my thoughts and not leave any points I have unnoticed here.
I still love the video though as it does very well summarize a general standpoint of the game state while making players aware of general affects of game companies that people may not be aware of. Good stuff
I don't have any problems w crk crashing? are you sure u have enough storage?
i play on my iph13 pro
not a single problem
I stopped playing way more than a year ago because it CONSTANTLY crashed for me
I quit after sherbert was released for 2 things 1 was its rates in gatcha and the other was how unplayable arena was for f2p who wasn't active.
Istg I quit for like just a few months and missed so much content 💔
I only deleted it because I have low storage space ☺✨✨✨😍🤑✨
im just waiting for fire spirit cookie to release... for three years now.
25 views 13 minutes, bro is making it out the streets with this one (but fr ur content is fire)
i played crk and then deleted my acc bcz i couldn’t get passed this one part😭😭 but i’ve recently started it again and i honestly forgot how fun it was! i’ve been playing for 2 weeks and im alr on world 10
honestly i quit after the drama in june 2024,the game gets so p2w that i couldnt even keep grinding at that point
What drama? I haven't played in years.
@THE_END.ヽ basically the drama started because of the fact that they originally wanted awakened dark cacao as a seperate cookie and they also originally wanted to add the awakened rarity however the community was enraged heck the whales were mad too because of the fact that the beast rarity was already added and the community said that devsister were greedy for money so devsister decided to not add the rarity however the whales decided to not ascend the newer cookies to 5A like legendary,beast etc(except the epic cookies) after the drama
COMMON COOKIE 2024
personally i stopped playing it because of how poorly optimised it is, idk if it was like this for everyone but it was crashing constantly for me and it got worse with most of the updates
up until the make your own cookie update is where i dropped it cause main reason my phone can't handle and keeps crashing like genshin
I'll say one mini thing I like, how the new guy harms his own team, cool thing
Started to play in 2022 or 23? Idk but I can't stop. I will get all cookies and play it through 100% as much as possible
Idk some others ik and I have began to play it again so maybe there's a resurgence 😭😭
Tbh, I feel like the actual game, and by that I mean the gameplay and story, isn't all that. The main appeal of the game is the Cookies themselves, as well as the art style, music. I would love to play another game in the cookie run universe, but when it comes to crk, I feel like you can only play so much before it gets boring, and the loop of completing dailies, maybe doing some arena and some story, and then waiting till the next day just feels like a chore, especially when you still can't unlock the one cookie you've been wanting for months.
So when the cork story line finishes what will happen next 💀

Yup
I hope a Pc client comes out for cookie run at somepoint
Isn't it on Google Play games?
@@RNB_Jerry It is, that's how I play my 2nd account.

2021?! Could you please get the digestive bisults please!
Arena is mid.
It's always the same teams i see.
Exploration has more content and is more fun.
@@CertifiefWorldHater true
@@Asmoluvv I'm sitting on 100k crystals right now after two seasons of arena.
I Left the game long ago because it became just plain boring. It was just the same thing over and over, was very p2w, very gamble like, and very big to the point where it would not even let me play as it would crash with 5 minutes of loading into the game. I was very disappointed seeing it become like this.
Common cookie for president ! ! !

first one here Common Cookie any luck of getting
mistic flower?
Sure did! Next stop Burning Spice town :D :D
Commoncookie would you like to read my crk angst fanfiction (It's good trust). I think that fandom and fanfic is a big part of keeping the community and game alive, part of it is discussing the characters and interacting are a big part of the community that has grown 4
Common cookie for president :)
@@demetriosandoval7581 🍪
I don’t really care about dark enchantress as much as shadow milk
I'm not really playing much like I used to last year. I completed most of the storyline and collected all the cookies, so i don't really interested in playing
Actually, since i mentioned fnf, I wonder which fnf track would fit burning spice cookie best? Subterfuge with lyrics or drop and roll? If anyone sees this comment, can you do a vote on that please because i think both of them fit well but the best one has tb subterfuge with lyrics and i think someone should do like a animation of that really.
PROUD VETEREN RIGHT HERE
I am not voting for CommonCookie for pres. Keep on making videos, bud.
🤣🤣
Im surprised so many comments say they're here for the story. The story is absolute buttcheeks. It's boring. I just wanna collect cute cookies
I really like the game but they seem to focus on money too much 😂
Actually i have a solution to maybe help with the arena are any of you with me on this? Why won't we make another arena called the legend stadium, where super epic+ cookies are allowed and the cookies from the original arena are no longer allowed except specials for they are allowed on both the intention is that we want new players yes? Would it make sense if we seperate the original arena and split that in two one for epics and lower while the other for super epics and more. That can help crk because it brings the new players in when they are unlucky and only have epics, i ask if you understand where im going at yes?
@@Polku-hl3zr a 1 v 1 cookie ranked leaderboard would be sickkkk as well.
