They're both flavor of the month games driven mostly by streamers. It really shouldn't be surprising. This happens, like, 7 times a year.

The last time something like this happened was PUBG. It's still here and remains second only to fortnite.

Fall Guys should of shortened their season. There was no way people were gonna stay interested in that game for long with how repetitive it was. You gotta have more skill based gameplay if you're gonna be that repetitive.

I wish they were quicker to alter or remove games

Theres no reason the match game wasnt removed after the first week

How did Among Us rise to fame after two years of being an unknown indie title? Did a popular streamer decide to try it out or something?

I don't think it is at all. They are both totally different genres.

Fall Guys is a 3D platformer + battle royale + party game. Party royale I call it. It's about chaos, quick reactions, timing, randomness, and having actual 3D platforming skills. Rage inducing moments and all cute looking.

Among Us is a social deduction party game. It takes strategy, observational skills, communication, and persuasion. A totally different game in vibe and style.

It's like comparing Fortnite with League of Legends.

Fall Guys doesn't have anything substantial for it to continue success as a popular streaming game unless they add more content. Whereas Fortnite has the unique locations, weapons, abilities, fort building, etc.. Every match is totally different and has a sort of player driven narrative. Same goes for Among Us. Fall Guys can't become a competitive game either because of the randomness. I love Fall Guys by the way. Not hating on it, but sadly it will be a fad most likely.

Among us is pretty fucking amazing with friends and voice chat.

I look forward to seeing this sort of genre blossom

I can't tell you anything about sales, but Among Us passed up Fall Guys on Twitch for like a week or two now. It's not #1 at this very moment but it has been #1 a ton of times the past two weeks.

Well yeah it's more popular but it doesn't mean it killed Fall Guys. It's like saying Just Chatting channel is killing Fortnite.

That's obviously not a good correlation considering Just Chatting isn't a video game lmao

It was the most watched game on Twitch during closed beta. It's popular because it's fucking fun.

You might say that, but honestly its driven by friends imo. If you find a group of people who voice chat, it's REALLY fucking fun. Compared to just typing. The more people you can add over voice chat the better the games get.

It's pandemic times, everyone is stuck at home and wants to be social. You get on discord play a bunch of games with people while joking around and its a blast.

Uhh there's a CE Among us thread going on. Nearly every night most people tend to group up over discord. I don't think we've had a full 10 voice chat running yet. But you can change that. BTW the toxicity doesn't exist over voice chat because people aren't anonymous. I mean they are but 9 other people will hopefully jump on that and cut that shit out if it does happen. Most I see on voice chat is salty people. Not being trusted really hurts I get it. But let's be real nobody knows each other that well to be getting hurt over that to the point of screaming and rage quitting.

If I was a streamer I would play Among Us, better game for streaming.

If I was just a regular gamer I would play Fall Guys

i got fall guys because "platformer battle royal" is a weird crazy interesting idea. Among Us is an idea that's been done in a bunch of other games recently though, and even more going further back. I don't really see what's making this iteration so interesting to people

It's literally a game that's perfect for streaming on twitch with other streamers

In 2010 no one would have cared about Among Us

I would have, if it was around and I knew about it. I used to play on BYOND and the game kind of reminds me of a game that would have been made on BYOND. I like that a lot.

Id say Fall Guys adjusting their algorithm to give me Tail Tag in 100% of the games I play killed my enthusiasm for the game faster than Among Us did.

I agree. It also could have been big in certain environments even before streaming took hold. My first thought was college dorms would be great for it. Really any environment with a big pool of players.

It it does look like a lot of fun, but theres no way Id be able to coordinate ten people I know to play, and thats the only way Id be willing to do it.
