Is anyone else looking forward to Full Guys releasing next week for a bit of light hearted 60 player BR/Obstacle Course Fun.

I've watched a few YouTube videos from last weekends beta and it seems like a good laugh, even more so if you can do custom lobbies.

Yep, looking forward to it. I think you can only team up with 3 other friends though, would be better if it were 5 (so 10 teams of 6 potentially).
Would be good if they added a custom lobby feature like you say, where you could get many people together i.e. for some OcUK games.

Funnily enough, it looks like a game I'd rather watch than play.

Seen a few streamers playing it on Twitch, seems to get boring quite fast.

I do agree that it wont have longevity but there is a lot more content available on release than the beta.

I think its very well priced for what it is at £16, i think its a fair deal.

Had a few notifications from Twitch of people playing this over the weekend but this is the first time I've seen anything from it. Kind of like Takeshi's Castle made into a game. Looks like it could be a good laugh though, I'll probably stick it on my wish list and pick it up at some point

I just played a quick game and I failed to qualify from the first round. Will try and give it a proper go later.

Free on Playstation plus this month. Definitely worth a game as it's a good laugh!

I played first time last night and it was infuriating. Everyone gets in the sodding way hahah

petridish · 8 Aug 2020 at 00:32

Ok I caved and bought it after a friend did as well. Just tried to play but can't even get into a server. Will try again tomorrow but might have to return it if I can't ever play. Looks like it's more popular than I thought...

I refunded it earlier. Had connection issues and realised i probably wouldn't play it past this week. The fact i could only play with 3 other people when there was 8 of us on discord was huge disappointment too.

uncle_rufus · 8 Aug 2020 at 10:56

Well I'm enjoying it... the connection issues aren't too surprising given it's been a way bigger success than I think the devs expected, so I think they will sort it out given time - it was a lot better connecting this morning than yesterday evening for sure

It's an infuriating game but by design really, I'm enjoying it

Agree a bit about the max of 4 players thing but I think if they went much higher than that the potential for cheating would start to get too high

swillsy · 8 Aug 2020 at 13:00

Really enjoyign it also and see big potential. Obviously server issues atm put a dampner on it but its to be expected withthe demand for it from day1. Absolutely worth the cash they are asking

I kill Bunnies · 8 Aug 2020 at 16:07

I got through to the final and was very close to the crown but it was not to be.

Looks like the server issued are sorted, it's a fun game in short bursts. Music gets a bit annoying after a bit and my games are all locked at 60 FPS despite what I do in settings.

uncle_rufus · 9 Aug 2020 at 08:32

Finally cracked my first W last night

The best final round for me I think is the Hex-a-gon one... never seem to get anywhere near close on Fall Mountain

The team-based games are by far the worst I think as if you happen to get caught on the team with the fewest number of sweaty try-hards you often just get completely destroyed... compared to the single player rounds which generally feel random enough that everyone has a chance

My brother works for the company that developed this, I don't think he worked on it though.

I did get a free copy of the game, really should try it out at some point lol.

jpm · 12 Aug 2020 at 16:49

I'm enjoying it, 2 wins so far in about 8 hours play time lol

Can get rage inducing sometimes specially with other players holding you :mad:

I'm not fussed on the team games though because you really gotta rely on whether your team mates are good or not lol I've been on a team where we crushed the other team 10 - 1 on fall ball but also been on the other end of a kicking lol

Overall pretty fun and a change from more serious games and shooters.

Spacedeck · 12 Aug 2020 at 18:42

I grabbed this free on PS Plus and it's pretty fun. Other players can be annoying and sometimes it can feel unfair but overall it's a pretty fun game.

Reminds me heavily of the TV show, Takeshi's Castle.
