it's a really fun game
those numbers are great. should mean the game stays alive for a long while yet

In that case I must be looking in the wrong places. I've definitely not seen many crazy colourful games with an emphasis on daft fun. If you've got examples I'd love to check them out.
Great success for them, hope they don't turn on crossplay between PC and PS4, I'd rather have a cheater-free experience.
Cheaters suck, one of the downsides of PC multiplayer.

Seeing more and more hackers every day, sadly. Also feels like the crown currency being winner exclusive was a mistake for this kind of game.
It's a good game, but personally I find some of the stages frustrating enough to just make me quit playing for a bit whenever I run into them.

Released at the perfect time for $19.99, took off quickly. It's a great time, and I'm really happy for the devs. Can't wait to see Season 2 tomorrow!
Yes. SCUM (Early Access) and Talos Principle did very well too but not anywhere close to this.
They balance the game properly to not turn it into an esport game
Gamestat is the most accurate site when it comes to games' user base
SteamSpy and others most probably use user reviews to estimate user base which can be wildly inaccurate
Gamestat uses the same exact methodology though.... They are both unreliable, and can be accurate or way off depending on various situations.
If steamspy is unreliable so is gamestat, they use similar algorithm. And no , steamspy doesnt use user reviews, they both use achievements scanning.
Nice, that's insane.
I hope that means they'll be pumping out maps at a rapid pace, as fun as the Beta was I had my fill of what was available in it.

Just off the top of my head there's Captain Tsubasa coming out in 2 days, the Gravity Rush games, Ratchet and Clank, Grounded (from MS), Crash Bandicoot 4 coming out in about a month and surely a few more. The variety is there and a game being more serious in tone doesn't mean it can't be fun and engaging. As I said, variety is what makes this medium amazing.
I feel ya defeated bean brother. Lately I've been adhering to an approach someone suggested of "2 eliminations and I'm done" and that's helped to keep it brisk and fun. Would love to put more time into it but it's kind of a bummer to never see more than the opening handful of maps over and over. Hopefully all this well-deserved success means that Season 2 opens with a solid addition of new maps and modes.
I fully expect somewhere at Epic the Fortnite team is making a Fall Guys rip off for the next season lol.
Likewise, a game being colorful doesn't mean that it actually have emphasis on daft fun. I mean, they're basically saying "I think the medium kinda lack party games nowadays so I want more of them" and then you gave him soccer, action adventure and platformer games instead.
Captain Tsubasa is about silly football with techniques and crazy shots, Crash is a platformer full of charm with a wacky character and lots of personality, Ratchet and Clank is full of humor and crazy gadgets. I'm not focusing on the "colors" as you say, I'm focusing on the "only Nintendo and indies give you creative fun", which is false and obviously a way to discredit many of other great games we've been getting in the last 10 years. Hell, even the latest DMC could be considered crazy fun.
Don't reduce my argument to "you're only talking about colors, soccer and a platformer".
Sorry. I've only seen this thread and thought it was weird that it only covered half of the info in the OP.
I agree with your point and that's also my point. Variety would be amazing and the fact there are no other games like Fall guys where the aim of the game is basically to act like a lunatic and generally have fun makes me want more like it. Those other games are part of well established genres and I agree the upcoming entries look amazing. Grounded looks fantastic and results like this show that the industry is thriving which is great. I just want more daft games like this, entitled goose game etc. I'm not saying all games should be like that and definitely not that the other games should stop being made. It's when big AAA studios continue to make the same games with different skin when things like Fall guys shoes how successful you can be when you break from the mould.
I dunno if I'm articulating what I mean very well.
My point is it doesn't actually speak well to genre variety in gaming that when somebody asked for more examples of other out-of-the-box party games, you didn't actually manage to give even one.
Like, more more variety in gaming was exactly what they're asking for, and then you went "no thanks" and cited all these games that are still in the same mould as their predecessors, even if "wacky". They could still be great, creative games, but kinda not what's being asked about?
