A few days ago, Fall Guys changed its monetization method and also its progression method. The arrival of the video game at Epic Games has also meant a big change in the title, which is now a free-to-play game. However, it seems that Mediatonic has gotten a little out of hand in the game, as many players believe that the real way to progress in the game is not competing to win the games.
Fall Guys becomes free (and very easy too)
Fall Guys is a very fun and simple game in which dozens of players compete in real time for the crown . After several eliminatory tests, a single player will take the victory. The game had its moment of glory in 2020, during confinement. At the time, it became one of the most played titles on Twitch, shortly before Among Us took the lead.
This week, Fall Guys has become a free-to-play title within the Epic Games store. The game has been removed from Steam, and can now be played without going through the checkout. The most demanding players have already got the battle pass on the first day, since unlocking all its elements can bring certain advantages in the games. The problem is that, according to many users, the pass is not well timed . If you let yourself win, you will progress faster than if you fight for the crown.
Fall Guys progression system is broken
The new Fall Guys Battle Pass allows you to level up in several different ways. And, according to some players, this is the source of all the problems. The game now rewards you with daily, weekly and monthly challenges. It also gives a certain number of points every time we enter a game.
However, it seems that fighting for the crown is not so worth it . Seizing victory in Fall Guys is no easy task. Not only do you have to have the skill to get to the end of the trials, but there is also an element of luck. We can play for hours or even days to achieve a victory. For this reason, many players enter matches and drop quickly to be eliminated. By repeating the process, these players manage to quickly upload their Battle Passes . This makes competing for the crown meaningless, as only a minority of those participating in the match will take the objective of the game seriously.
At worst, some players say you could perfectly farm the battle pass experience without being ahead of the game, either through a button macro or by doing something else while the player replays over and over again. This process.
At the moment, everything seems to indicate that it is a Mediatonic forecast failure . However, it is somewhat strange that in this new version of the game there are no longer statistics or leaderboards, so the player cannot track their progress as they could when the game was paid. .
