    The thing with Amoung Us is that if you play with the same group of friends things get predictable and old. Most people don't have a huge pool of friends to choose from unlike streamers.

    In my opinion what killed among us are a few things,
    1. The game got old fast and the only update Among Us was getting back when it's was at it's peak was the Airship map and that's it, no new roles or anything just one map. I think the roles and cosmicubes update should've been the first thing intersloth should've done when among us was at it's peak, not one new map and the awful quick chat feature that is the opposite of quick.
    2. Among us memes quickly became unfunny and the only joke were "WhEn ThE iMpOsToR iS sUs!!!11" and "A M O G U S" which lead to people starting to hate among us.
    And 3. The game itself only got popular because of quarantine and people were bored, let's be real among us would be nothing without quarantine and big streamers and youtubers playing the game almost everyday late 2020.

      Maybe but tbh I think streamers would’ve picked up the game regardless of the pandemic or not, the pandemic just escalated things. The basic gameplay loop of Among Us makes it extremely streamer-friendly and it was already quickly gaining traction 2018-2019 way before covid became a thing.

    The lifespan of a lot of games lately has been really frustrating in my opinion. They'll get immensely popular, but then are deemed "cringe" and you get made fun of if you even mention them. Games like Minecraft (to a certain extent), Roblox, FNAF, Fortnite, Among Us, and others were/are really popular and actually solid games imo, but now have pretty bad reputations and get made fun of a lot. It's partly due to the fanbases being large percents of young kids (and the cringe parts of every fandom exist), but honestly the games themselves are fine in my opinion and it's frustrating that they went from being "cool" to play to being solely a joke.
    Ps. I haven't really kept up with Among us itself since late 2020, so watching the video I realize there are other reasons it's not as popular anymore but I'm mainly talking about the cringe culture and memes about it ruining it for me personally. Also none of these games are dead at all, they just have a bad rep in my opinion
    P.P.S. A lot of people are mentioning that minecraft doesn't have a bad rep like these other games, but it did at one point in time is what I'm trying to say. Even though it's generally a lot better now, I've still had people make fun of me for playing it recently so I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just speaking from personal experience.

      What I find funniest is that those same people who get on others for playing ‘cringe’ or ‘irrelevant’ games are nearly always the ones _still_ recycling the same 5 meme formats we’ve had since 2019 (you know the ones). Everyone is, has and will be embarrassing/cringy at some point. No shame in it, it’s just an inevitability. Cringe culture desperately needs to die already.

    I think another reason quick chat was added was to make sure that children are safe playing the game and that they don't chat with older players. But it was a terrible decision to force quick chat on to everyone, including teens and adults. I'm glad they updated the game recently to add the option of free chat instead of quick chat. Also public lobbies aren't that bad. Also this game wasn't expected to explode until it did, so it doesn't really make sense to say it failed, since it's popularity is sort of falling back to how it was before the game blew up.

    I always wanted to play the way streamers do
    They seem to be all friends and all have connections.
    Not many average people have that.
    And it sucks!
    It feels like a lot of games are just built for people with lots of friends.
    And if those friends are even interested in the first place.
    I’ve never touched multiplayer in a lot of games.
    I’ve only seen youtubers play them.
    See, a game like this. Large online lobby with no chat feature (among us has one, but it’s not accesible all the time unless you’re dead), is Splatoon.
    But that game is a different genre, which gives the lack of chat a free pass.
    You don’t need chat for a competitive game.
    Teamwork can still occur because communication is easier.
    Murder mystery is something that requires communication and working together
    If that isn’t available to you all the time, and when it is, there’s only so little time to actually talk, it ruins the point
    A lot of murder mystery games allow you to chat all the time, with a designated point for voting and discussion.
    This allows you to quickly report to other players and work together.
    It’s fun when you have all the features

    When I used to play Among Us, literally almost every lobby I saw were for SexRPs. A good majority of the lobbies on there were these wierd people who made lobbies and banned everyone else who came in except for one person, probably a child, to talk to. It got to a point where it became more amusing to go into these lobbies and tell the the guy off until I got kicked out by him. Often times I'd seen those people still talking with other kid users and the second I'd say anything I'd be removed. It was honestly horrendous if you ask me. This is a children's app.

Indie games should be appreciated as like, 2 people worked on them, and the outcome was usually amazing, even if the game eventually dies out fast like Among Us. They turn into just funny jokes or memes, and then the game is basically in the incinerator.

    I think the game really would have benefited from allowing its players to friend people. It was something a lot of people asked for; When you play rounds and rounds with people - you tend to get pretty close to them. There's a lot of people that would share socials with people in order to play with them again. I think a friends list would have extended the game's life, giving people more of a reason to play if they could see if their friend was online, and be able to join them when possible.

That caused me to lose friends I never saw again and kicked out of really interesting games, I was LIVID every time that happened because now that I think about it the only reason why I ever enjoyed the game and made me play it for as long as I did was because of these people.

    Despite me not picking up this game again for over a year, I still think the concept of Among Us is actually pretty genius. The whole "trying to get away with murder," as well as finding clues to figure out who the imposter is, it's such a really cool idea. It did get pretty boring after a while, but you've gotta give it credit for how simple, but still fun the game was

    I stopped playing because of the quick chat not allowing me to type it out. I literally couldn’t find stuff and was considered suspicious/wasn’t able to tell what happened. Saying red is sus is easier than finding their username and stuff-
    It was so annoying, and I haven’t played for about a year. It’s too bad, honestly.

  • @Kaidhicksii
    @Kaidhicksii 2 года назад +137

    Spot on. Personally, the quick chat hasn't been a problem for me as pretty much every lobby I land in sees people typing their own thoughts rather than using the quick chat. My biggest issue - again from a personal standpoint - is how hard it can sometimes be to get into a lobby. If you want to go in one that is nearly full, more often than not you can't and just get a message saying it's full. Now of course this could just be due to bad timing on your part, but still. On top of that, there are times when the server itself will crash and you can't access any lobbies period.
    From a community standpoint now, I think you hit the nail on the head. Voice chat would be the perfect addition for the game, and if they want to be able to protect younger audiences, then all they have to do is the following. When you create an account, you type your age. If the player is a youngster, then they can have an option to either access or not access lobbies with older players. From there, the lobbies can create groups of players who are in the same or similar age category, and boom. Even the players themselves can be specific on the age requirements for their lobbies. There's an Adults Only group I've played with quite often who have done just that.
    Overall, I'm still mad at Among Us for killing Fall Guys when that game was blowing up, while this game was good as nonexistent. However, I definitely tip my hat to the devs for continuing to work on it, if anything for pure passion. As recently as two nights ago (or so) I logged back in to find all sorts of neat updates such as a level system, new roles beyond the simple Crewmate and Imposter, and so on. I have little doubt that at some point sooner or later, this game will rise like a phoenix reborn and see a second revival.

      Voice chat could get implemented into the game, however not in that way; Players can easily pick any age-range they wish and enter into the category they weren't supposted to be implemented into. This raises problems, but it doesn't stop voice chat officially coming into the game (or a future game they make). Although there are already mods that do such things. Players just have to go that extra mile of installing and finding people.
      I don't think Among Us needs voice chat to "rise like a phoenix". It just needs better attention from port and player interaction; nice controls depending on where you're playing, making it easy and fun to play. A clever way to allow players to "chat" with the rest. A decision wheel was a fast option. They work as a secondary option, but not as the main one.

    when the game blew up I was watching a lot of among us but quickly I realized I actually don't like watching the game all that much unless it's very well edited. like cut out most of the doing tasks and get right to the meetings. but honestly, I don't see how this game can be considered a failure? It was small when it came out, it got popular due to circumstances, and then it fell out of popularity. it might be harder to play with people but it doesn't mean it "failed". just fell out of the spotlight.
    meanwhile, you've done a stellar job of acting like this game hasn't continued to thrive on its meme potential. among us is still out there. funniest thing I've ever seen. among us has stuck around kind of like the rickroll, and will continue to exist on a certain level of cultural osmosis. they made crewmate plushies. it's kind of sus not gonna lie.

If town of salem had been made in quarantine and had tasks it would literally be almost the exact same game but among us failed to have interesting and fun roles like town of Salem.

    Among us was bound to have a larger lifespan and impact than most of the other indie games that got absurdly popular just due to the fact that it was a multiplayer game that followed a Town of Salem esque formula. I think there's still a lot of fun you can have with Among Us if that's the type of game you like, though it's definitely a gamble with the lobbies.
    I feel like the game is actually doing the best it can for itself. More content is pretty much all it can do to keep people around, because every game gets stale after a while.
    That being said, I think it's a hard sell to say the game is dead. The internet teaches you that whenever a game falls out of the public eye, it's dead, but there's still a shit ton of people playing the game. Not everything can be like Minecraft.

    I loved playing this game with my cousin, dad, uncle, friends dad/dad’s friend, friend, brother, and this person that was on the discord server we called in. It was funny! Two times I accidentally framed my imposter frendo (my dad) And one time my dad thought he heard my uncle say, “Raising the fields” we voted him out. Another time my cousin decided to say that he was innocent because he was like, “my height is 5’3 on scan” and we all voted him out, he was imposter. My dad once convinced me and my friend that he was not the murderer even though we saw him and we voted off friend’s dad/my dad’s friend. It was fun while it lasted but now it’s time to let it go 😄 I enjoyed playing with family and friends truly, but life goes on!

    I played Among Us since 2020, and I remember the day it officially died. The day the Airship map premiered.
    Hours before the premiere, a lot of fans like me joined a Twitch stream held by the developers in Innersloth who were playing a match in the new map. In fact, I recorded the original Twitch stream.
    Unfortunately, many people were left with disappointment due to the additional account updates. Now they're better, but back during that day, it was rare to see a person who wasn't stuck in Quick Chat. People uninstalled the app and complains came rushing in, which eventually killed the game.

    For the quick chat system, I'm imagining something like the Dark Souls message system.
    "Vent! therefore, Yellow."
    "Be wary of Blue, liar ahead."
    "Don't give up, skeleton!"
    "Amazing chest, try holding with both hands."
    "Horse?"
    "Try tongue, but hole."
    Yeah, I can see why that wouldn't work too well. The Dark Souls message system is cryptic by design, allowing you to give other players enough info to know something's up but spell it out clearly for them. "Ambush ahead, be wary of left," is pretty straightforward, but something like, "Ring required ahead," doesn't tell you specifically which ring you need, and the less straightforward the situation becomes, the more cryptic the messages get. Often there's not a good word or phrase for what you want to describe, so you have to choose the next closest thing. For example, in the Shaded Wood in DS2, in the basilisk pit, I left a message about "lava" causing equipment breakage. I think most people can understand what I'm saying, but there's clearly no lava down there, just pools of mysterious yellow liquid. It works well in Dark Souls, but it doesn't seem like it would work for a game like Among Us.

    I once was in a public lobby by myself, I didn’t intend on playing for 8 hours but the following events compelled me to.
    During this session, I joined and obviously wasn’t the host, played a few matches and the host eventually left and I became the host player… this gave me the responsibility of (trying) to manage the lobby and filter out the complete randoms that would join trying to add each other on Instagram or flirt with each other, they all got kicked.
    While in the game itself actually playing I noticed one particular person kept getting killed first and asked the lobby to diverge from doing so to no prevail.
    This player was known in game as “Elisa”, a maroon coloured bean that would ALWAYS stand between the box and left wall when a match ended.
    I eventually found out this was Elisa’s first time playing the game and she was quite young…
    PROTECTION MODE ACTIVATE.
    People joined and left, kept kicking the idiot players, the racists, the wannabe politicians, the potential groomers etc, they would sometimes say thing a young girl shouldn’t be reading,
    She’d ask what it meant and I have to ask her to ignore it and she complied and we kept playing. She was such an innocent soul to the extent where she’d refuse to kill as an imposter and just wanted to do tasks.
    I said earlier I only had intent on playing a few matches but once this started happening I HAD to keep playing, eventually it got a little easier for me as slowly others caught on to the situation and helped tremendously, I was NOT abandoning this lobby until Elisa quit of her own accord as I wanted the best first time experience for her as possible.
    Eventually she said she was tired and it was 2AM for her (it was 8AM for me as a night shift worker from the UK), and everyone and I mean EVERYONE at this point was advising her to go to bed and get some sleep.. she reluctantly did
    “Elisa has left the game”
    and we all talked in the lobby for about 20 mins worrying about this girls health that we couldn’t do anything about, no way to add her as friend to check on her, she was just GONE.
    So while public lobbies are 99.9% toxic, I’ll never forget my 0.1% experience with Among Us.
    Please be kind to Elisa

    I think that the downfall in many games is the shift in the demographic and capitalism. They start to get popular while been played by teens / young adults, because the game is popular content creators will play them and that automatically will attract younger audience (think 11-13 year olds) at this point the game is so well known that merch is created ( in the case of among us we can say that companies went overboard with it) which will a) attract even younger audience and/or b) turn this game into a meme ( just like among us ). For example , no teen or young adult wants a among us giant pop it but a 10 year old would . And the moment the game turns into a meme the downfall cant be stopped because the internet gets bored of memes fast and the bigger the meme the faster we will be sick of it

    While starting sentences with “and,” “but,” and “so” is technically fine… starting 50% of them with those words gets monotonous very quickly. Most of the script could be interpreted as a few run-on sentences, but a generous transcription yields: 70 total sentences, 7 starting with "And", 8 with "Now", 9 with "So", 10 with "But". Altogether that's 34/70 starting with just 4 words.
