Forcing us to Play Together
Cordova, TN; August 21, in the year of our Lord 2023
-- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in
covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the
voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. Long
time readers and long time viewers know I am into Fall Guys. I
played a ton of Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout, and now Fall Guys
Free For All. In the most recent season pass Mediatonic did
something different. In order to get all of your dailies done
you must play in a party. That means you must play with someone
else. You can still play solo but it has to be in a party.
Without that party you will not get all of your dailies done.
This aggravates and annoys me badly. The match making in Fall
Guys is horrible. So the solution Mediatonic has come up with is
to force us to play with friends. I have a shocking surprise for
you Mediatonic - I have zero friends. Definitely not anyone to
be available when I have a few minutes to play Fall Guys. We are
already playing an online video game. We are already forced to
play with others. Why add in yet another be with others element
to Fall Guys? I told Mediatonic for years in surveys that I
wanted to play Fall Guys totally offline. I guess that is
Creative Mode. I want to be able to play any of the games in
Fall Guys completely by myself. How did Mediatonic respond to my
feedback? They dropped me from the Board of Beans surveys. Thin
skinned much?
I found a solution that is working quite well for this whole be
in a party. I boot up our old gaming PC and bring up Fall Guys.
I get into a party with my Xbox account and I play that way. The
staying still too long became a problem and the game would not
count it as a party since it would disconnect the PC player
extremely quickly for not moving around in the game. So I put a
small jar of marbles on the computer's keyboard on the WASD
section. The player runs forward and usually needs to respawn. I
complete the run on the Xbox and come over to usually see the
other account get eliminated at some point.
The only problem with this system is while the PC account is
watching me play on the Xbox the PC is getting disconnected or
the game is crashing. And then maybe the first round is the only
one that counts for the party rounds. This is really annoying
and irritating. The core problem is forcing us into parties in
the first place. I want to get my dailies and get the season
pass without being forced into a party to do so. This is lame,
obnoxious and annoying by Mediatonic. Plus in my opinion they
are going the wrong direction. I want to play all of Fall Guys
totally offline by myself. Or maybe just local co-op.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
