SpyPartyParty

Finally GB has a pro of Spy Party and understands the ins and outs

Based Abby

This was a fun time, thanks guys!

@ashton: because after an hour playing the game you simply won't stutter step unless something goes really wrong. That's like saying COD is good but if you don't know which button shoots you'll just lose all the time. Moving fluidly isn't hard and it's something that you get the hang of pretty quickly.

@crazybagman: exactly, it's not like the stuttering is even a mechanical thing, it's a part of the mind game. The AI won't stutter step and neither will better than novice players. Novice players will do it once and then never again when they realise it's a tell. It's thinking you have to be perfectly aligned with the blue blocks on the floor, you really don't

@mattcorb7:

I mean.. yeah. If you deliberately design the game so that the spy is literally the only non-AI character in the level... there's no way you can logically avoid that. Not really sure what the point you're trying to make is?

This game was a ton of fun to watch. Hoping we see more regular check-ins with it, similar to but maybe not so much as Murder Island.

@johnymyko: 100% agree. Its more interesting seeing it through the players eyes. Specially when you see something they don't see and youre shouting and the monitor. Hopefully they'll see the commets and consider you comment if they do this again.

I would just like to point out that any of the times you're playing where the spy has to complete 100% of their objectives it's actually impossible for the spy to win without the sniper not knowing what's going on at all.

It probably shouldn't bug me but when Ben said a 4/4 objectives map had the "best balance" it was irritating.

Still, good content. If there's more of it in the future I hope you mix things up in objectives and player-view cams a bit more. Thanks for bringing this kinda cool thing to my attention.

Fun stream.

But yeah, it seems like it requires the sniper to straight up play bad for the spy to win an 'all objectives' mode. At that point you can keep your focus on 1 objective and always win. The spy doesn't have access to any countermeasures to prevent it.

Seconding (or 359thing) the 'dont do the fake spectator mode' thing. I've watched a ton of this game played, and doing it this way makes it super not fun. Just let the players play.

Abby is a stone cold killer! This game has the same tension of PUBG but with a calculated hunt that's pretty great.

@onemanarmyy: That's only for easy as the sniper wins more often you are supposed to up the difficulty. At the highest difficulty the spy can choose any 4 of 7 missions I think.

If GB streams this again I really hope they spectate with the split view since it's way more interesting than just watching the spectator shoot random people. Seeing the cat and mouse between the sniper and spy is a much more enjoyable way to watch this game. If they want to leave some suspense watching the real sniper POV would be more interesting than the standard spectator as well.

Another complaint is not showing the animations for the different objectives before you start so the players are not lost when playing and the audience can play along. I know doing videos off the cuff is GB's thing but I really don't think this game lends itself to that style.
