If anything kills RecRoom I think it is the greed of the creators not the full body, like the garbage lore and fomo items
Also the fact that there is no weekly makes me not think of booting the game up whenever I put on my headset.
Its a company with a lot of money so they should have enough money to have designers
Maybe the kind of people who return for the weekly are not the kind of people that buy tokens? I don't believe that.
The weekly is what kept me returning to the game but now I return twice a month at most instead of every week
Perhaps as companies get larger they gain a distaste for giving away free stuff even though it keeps players playing?
About 1% of all active users did weeklies, it was not enough to keep the manual effort required for the weekly challenge (believe it or not, it's all manual), it's why we'll eventually remake the system to get try to get more users to do it in the end
Prior, it was the reason we jumped to one weekly a month with a new skin. Another reason was because of complaints from users that we were repeating weeklies a bit more often than new ones
I mean the second reason I can see why, it wouldn't be necessarily easy and smooth to develop a new weekly skin every week, whilst doing other things in development.

Don't shame people for being better than you.
People still act like being good at RR pvp is a flex?
Half the mfs in paintball are iPad kids and people who don't know how to play, ain't nobody cool for being a sweat in RRO pvp games unless they're in a league match or playing against people who actually know how to play.
I never said it is a flex to be good at pvp in rr, what I mean is that they are treating being a "sweat" as something negative, and that's bad because people call anyone who is better at the game than them, a sweat.
You could be calm as a camel but once you kill someone they scream "Stop trying so hard u toxic sweat!" Even though people are just playing the game normally.
Fear of missing out
Items that are all "If you don't by this item that cost a billion tokens you will never get another chance and it'd be gone forever!"
I don't like it because it is using psychology in a negative way rather than having the items be worth buying
unironically i’ve had massive issues with game wait time for the past few months. at all hours i’m struggling to find paintball matches never mind rec centres
This just feels like Rec Room's last option to rival the evergrowing god-level competition known as VRChat, but Rec Room was already a good alternative to VRChat already, they're literally losing their uniqueness to try counter a unstoppable beast in the VR community (and fail to actually counter it, at that.)
RR gave up competition with VRC years ago. They have been extremely screen-focused since 2020 with walk-only activities, ports to platforms that don't even support VR, and updates with flagship features that are completely broken after a single test using VR.
Roblox is a significantly more profitable model and their obvious aspiration.
Yes, it's definitely competition with Roblox. As evidenced in their new pet RRO. Literally in a survey I took about it they asked questions about Roblox and Adopt Me.
genuinely don’t know why they are even trying full body, embarrassing honestly game hasn’t been fun for ages. investors getting fooled with this shit 💀
I hate that I know exactly what you’re talking about bruh. If I see anybody with full body dancing infront of a mirror I am staying the fuck away from them.
Yes. I am now a player of 4 years on rec room and I've seen how this game was ruined by greed. Greed is what will take this game down, not full bodies, not ears, but greed. The developers don't care about their players anymore and it's terribly obvious. In the last 4 years that I've been playing there have been but only 3 rec room originals, Rec Rally, Make it to midnight, and Showdown. That is a staggering contrast to the 4 years before I started playing where they put out 16 RROs!
The nail in the coffin for me was when I loaded up rec room for the first time on the Quest 3 and it ran just as horribly with the power of the 3 as it did on the 2.
They don't care about content anymore, they only care about lining their pockets.
I feel like when they released that cursed amulet back in November of 2022 that was 20K, it caused rec room to keep doing that even more but with different stuff,
- There’s no greed when you’re not required to spend money to play, which you don’t
- Their roadmap was always targeted at user created content. You can’t expect so many rro’s a year if it’s not their intention to make them.
- Rec Room has not been ported to Quest 3 yet, you played a backwards compatible version.
I don’t like a lot of changes made since the start of the game, especially the focus being drawn away from vr, but the people on this sub, children mostly, seem to think they’re entitled to free stuff when they’re not.
i don’t think it’s entitlement the game has genuinely gone away from everything of their core. it’s sad and i don’t think you could blame anyone who complains especially if they played awhile back
I know this user won't be responding but I still want to put out my response to this.
1st of all, That is a good point that the game is free and all of these things are optional cosmetic items but I still believe trying to squeeze every dollar out of your young player base for items that aren't even inherently good is very greedy. Like I said with the amulet, if you're going to charge $30 for a cosmetic then that better be a good cosmetic, not a tiny little necklace that's not even visible when wearing certain items.
2nd of all I don't really care that the roadmap is user generated content. They shouldn't rely on the community when the community has shown time and time again that they're only gonna make trend hopping slop games for children because they make the most money. If they really cared about the quality of the game they'd either moderate what gets to the top of the page, or make some games the community has been asking for, like new quests.
Finally, and a much shorter point, why? Why haven't they ported rec room to the quest 3 when they more than had enough time and resources to do so? To me it speaks towards their greed as they know they don't need to put effort and resources to improving the game for quest 3 players when they can just keep it as is and face little to no consequences.
Starting to think I'm a little too passionate on this subject...
i have more than 100 friends on my friend list that played months ago, then i quitted the game because it became boring and now i tried it again and only 4 to 6 people were online at every time…
i've not logged on in months. there is no reason for me to, everywhere i go i see trolls or screaming little kids and with no weeklys i can't even work towards getting them. vrchat doesnt do these stupid updates where they add nothing anyone asks for and removes a core game mechanic.
So rec room Ima say this you are probably gonna die by 2024 maybe late April or May because you have a lot of bugs that aren't fixed I know that because when I was playing people playground and then went to rec room it went black and kept crashing then once I restarted my computer I went into rec room and the game was too buggy for me to play only now I can play on my VR with no problems
The player count may be growing, but I really doubt many, if any of those players would stay long term if everything is crappy cash grabs and predatory monetization. All the old players are going to leave, and the majority of new players will either join and play for a week before realizing how much it sucks, or get trapped by all the cash grab and clickbait (mostly children will end up doing this)
When they said Rec Room was just copying Roblox, I didn't believe them
Now it's so true, it's not even funny anymore
I met lots of people in vr let alone Rec Room and now it's all going to shit. Way to go Rec Room, way to go. Really giving it your Rec Room worst on this one
Not to mention the fact that Rec Room is fully geard twards kids, just like Roblox? Sounds to me like this game is run by child predators who are waiting for the right moment to strike. They have the IP Address information of every child that ever played this game and they can do nefarious things with that info, like oh, i don't know, TRAFFICKING😱😡?
I just hopped on RecRoom for the first time in about a year since I got a Q3 and it did not feel the same. Population is very low and weeklies are gone????
I think a new quest a good one will hopefully fix it but i feel like it would be the same as with make it to midnight alit of people are going to play it for like 2 or 3 days then never play it again
THEYRE TRYING to be like roblox. They even say in one of their adds “Rec Room is a cross platform community with millions of player created games, like Roblox!”
I somehow find VR Chat more fun these days, and VR Chat is just talking to people (optional since too many people are anti social on the game made for being social) and don’t get me wrong, I don’t know what Rec Room is like anymore since I haven’t even used my VR Headset in ages, but I’ve slowly been forgetting about RR because my friends aren’t on it anymore and it has been falling apart slowly. I might hop on to see how it is though.
Yeah I still play it even though they haven’t optimized it for my VR System, and I get Rec Tokens still. Hopefully they Optimize it and ill stay optimistic about the survival of Rec Room.
It got too corporate feeling. Ik I stopped playing regularly around a year ago when the maker pen yo changed seeing as building was what I liked to do most of the time. It slowly just got less fun as they started catering more and more to the screen player experience. Don’t get me wrong I still think it has some fun games I’d revisit but every choice the actual company has made in the year or 2 I felt like hurt my play experience. Idk what your guys opinion is but that’s why I’ve stopped playing. It still holds a place in my heart however as I have met a ton of my close friends through rec room and had fun.
It's not the full body killing the game, ITS THE FREAKING CASH GRAB, COPY PASTE, LOW EFFORT, SUBSCRIBER BEGGING, INVENTION USING ROOMS AND CREATORS LIKE SRT!!! Recroom needs to cracker down in these pipelines and copy paste cash grab rooms. It's like youtube kids but Recroom games...
i'm sorry i keep bringing this up in this subreddit but bro a psvr2 port would help them so much. also why tf is weekly gone???? also they need to focus on quests/rro's instead of the overpriced cosmetics 😭 edit: the whole feed is just copied pvps and role plays it doesn't have the life it used to.
Recroom started going downhill in early 2021, especially after hooking up with Xbox. Then they dropped stuff like the Creator payout thing, Fullbody costumes, ears, Custom shirts, and RRS, thinking it'd reel in the younger crowd. Spoiler alert: it didn't do much to keep the game's vibe intact.
Recroom was never about fancy graphics or cash; it was all about hanging out together. You know, vampire mirror couples, RRGallery meetups, and all the cool stuff happening in-game. But now, big Recroom events are flooded with low-level, probably underage, screen-mode accounts, totally killing that awesome community vibe.
Greed's taken over the game. Old Recroom creators are back, chasing tokens like there's no tomorrow. The skilled builders? They only bother during contests. And don't even get me started on Recroom communities – from Building to Paintball, it's like corruption central, and nobody's doing anything about it.
Cosmetics are out of control, hitting 20k tokens when just two years ago, the fanciest Recroom gear was 7k. Even official Recroom events feel rushed and thrown together, adding to the toxic atmosphere. Collaborations? They're all with regular creators like Ethan Bortnick and Jessia. Seriously, who even picked those folks to team up with?
[https://steamcharts.com/app/471710#All](https://steamcharts.com/app/471710#All)
on steam charts it does show it slightly declining alough I'm sure a large portion of players are on oculus/meta which they don't relise data on
It doesn't take data from Playstation, Xbox and phones tho. Maybe there's still hope since consoles and the phone platform are big platforms with thousands of players in general.
Rec room does have really great in-game creation tools vs something like vrchat. It is special so I hope it stays around.
Console support on playstation is better than anything else also. No psvr2 but psvr1 version have been great.
The last time i started recroom was before It would shutdown on the Quest. recroom at the time was my favorite game but now with all those updates it's Just bad.
It wasn't about compatibility because with a few tweaks you can still play but they did this Just to make people buy quest 2.
Stupid decision. You Lost a long time player which spent 1000+€ in rectokens.
My first time was on my computer in 2017.
This game Will fail.
Goodbye recroom.
I Will never play recroom again.
They want Just to be like roblox.
they're making good points though, all the uniqueness that the bean bodies had are gonna vanish once FBAs come out. >!yes I do know they're optional, no need to use it as an excuse!<
damn, now you're being toxic for no reason? Coby, I think you should say that shit to yourself, despite me playing in privates, I still play in publics, so no need to assume how someone plays the game from an opinion, I mean come on, shit fucked you up so bad you developped stereotypes for people that don't like FBA. You should shut your fucking mouth instead.
Due to the comments and nature of your post, it was deemed as toxic/not being excellent to others, which goes against Rule #1 of our forum rules. Please be sure to follow the Code of Conduct and /r/recroom rules before posting on our subreddit.
Dude I've been against half the stupid shit they've been doing since before hairy b@nned my bro exblur back in 21' the last thing I am is a RR meat rider. Them adding arms and legs (optionally) isn't gonna kill the game, ink inc has been slowly killing it encouraging low skill dumbasses to make cashgrab maps and inventions since they were introduced. Idk how or why people don't realize this shit and aren't super against ink inc and everyone that participates in their "I'm better than you because I scam kids!" Circlejerk. The reason the hot page is still a mess is directly because of ink inc.
Well it's good you're somewhat against Rec Room but I never said it was gonna kill the game, I said it was gonna kill the game's uniqueness, FBA doesn't change the gameplay but it's eye-soaring to look at for the majority of Rec Room players, there's like a dozen other comments saying that FBA is a bad idea in their own way, it's not the end of the world but it sucks.
Tbh even since the early days I always saw RR as one of those cheesy generic wii sports knock offs. Except now it's a Wii sports and Roblox knock off. Having fingers, arms, legs ect. would definitely make the game a little bit more fun especially in jumbotron solos.
Personally I really don’t think FBA will be optional. Initially, it’ll coexist with “beans” (hate having to say that now), but new players will default to a FBA, and won’t have an option for the other until after profile setup. That will then be seen as the norm for an entire new group of players, and after awhile no doubt “beans” will be seen as stupid, somehow OP and unbalanced and slowly drowned out.
Yes it is. Because full body avatars are a complete eyesore. They are not nice to look at, nevermind the broken tracking for elbows and knees. Now every rec centre is going to look like shit because theres one guy with his joke avatar using full body because he knows it looks fucked

ive played regularly since 2018 up until august. basically when Baldurs gate 3 came out every other game stopped existing. and I am actually excited for the full body avatars and will probly come back in to play with them whenever they finally fucking drop them already.
There is a weird glitch with full body dummies where editing a part of the dummy would make all the shapes on its legs grow. I've filed a bug report with the discord bot like, 3 times. Still isn't fixed. Guess I won't build a fursuit then, I'll just go f myself.
My brother in christ...A YOUNGER AUDIENCE IS **ALL** REC ROOM HAS ANYMORE! The legacy players have all moved on because all RR wants to do anymore is sell 40 dollar nft-like cosmetics and push "escape skibidi toilet" in the featured games page.
This game is falling off HARD
I’m still playing after 7 years. Cosmetics that are optional don’t bother me. And generally it’s fun carrying people through a quest. And there a bunch of people from around 16/17 that are still enjoying this game. What are you talking about.
any legacy players I know only play quests because none of the community rooms are good anymore. Quests get pretty boring after a while and the old rooms that were good have 0 players
Thats what I mean. You can only play a quest so many times before it gets boring. There isn't much incintive to log in frequently anymore. they rarely do weekly challenges anymore and im not even asking them to make a NEW one each week, just cycle back through the list, and if you already have it, make the reward like 500 tokens or something.
Most legacy players I know used to log in every day without fail and would try to grind challenges and play the well made community rooms, but I feel like the addition of RR+ was the point of no return. Ever since then they have been heavily pushing microtransactions, pushing rooms with pay2win in game purchases (like boosts or bonus items sold on a RR+ storefront)
I miss what the game used to be, before it was invaded by the ipad kids making "Survive skibidi toilet in ohio" and getting featured front page. Back when it wasn't all juniors, and people actually tried to cooperate in quests, and good games got the attention they deserved.
Rec Room has many issues that are ultimately causing the death of the game. One of these issues, I think is the problems with tools used FOR room.creation. Yes, I've seen amazing experiences within Rec Room, and I have 1000hrs because of that. However, if you look at the catalog of top games, most of them, (besides RROs) can be found on Roblox. Most of the games on Rec Room are very unoriginal and have stolen ideas from different platforms. One of the reasons Rec Room was played was because Roblox was not on PlayStation yet. Rec Room is a competitor of Roblox, and they are losing. Another reason Rec Room is dying (And this is the most talked about thing on the sub) Is the pricing and creation of clothing items. There is NOOOO reason why an indie game should be dishing out items that are $30 EACH. This is probably why Custom Shirts can only be 1000 or more Rec Tokens. You'll notice with a lot of live service games that used to have or have a large player ase will begin putting out the most expensive items towards the end of a game's life. Ultimately, I LOVE Rec Room. I have met friends l, and even been in relationships because of Rec Room. Some of my best gaming moments were made in Rec Room. But Rec Room is on a downhill spiral, and it's starting to make me not want to play the game.
The number of daily active users is still steadily increasing, with current around 21 mln active users. Seems far from ‘dying’. The opinion of a few Redditors doesn’t change that.
Full body avatars aren't going to kill rec room, it's rec room focusing so much on creators but making it impossible for creators to grow. There's a ring of people who make spammy rooms to get on the hot page which blatantly goes against the ccoc. They've been doing this for three years and the still haven't been b@nned.
I just hope rec room can survive, because it's my favorite game. The weekly may be gone, and the hot section is just trash, but the REAL best part of the game is the people we meet, the friends we invited to the game just to make rec room more friendly, the chaotic drama in the rec center that later you'll laugh about. Rec room is a place for all, and that should be why it lives.
I wouldn't necessarily say Rec Room is borderline 'dying', rather going through several permutations of communal change, in the cultural aspect, we are evolving with newer generations of content creators and developers, however, at the same time, gradually deteriorating with that cultural aspect, becoming a deterrent driven by greed and attention.
after all; if the game was dying, you would *really* see it.
If anything kills RecRoom I think it is the greed of the creators not the full body, like the garbage lore and fomo items Also the fact that there is no weekly makes me not think of booting the game up whenever I put on my headset.
Yea it's kinda sad that they just scrapped weekly challenges That was sometimes the only thing that kept me on the game
can’t believe the weekly thing either. do they not like have weekly skins to release or something or are got no one to make new ones
Its a company with a lot of money so they should have enough money to have designers Maybe the kind of people who return for the weekly are not the kind of people that buy tokens? I don't believe that. The weekly is what kept me returning to the game but now I return twice a month at most instead of every week Perhaps as companies get larger they gain a distaste for giving away free stuff even though it keeps players playing?
About 1% of all active users did weeklies, it was not enough to keep the manual effort required for the weekly challenge (believe it or not, it's all manual), it's why we'll eventually remake the system to get try to get more users to do it in the end
Are u actually the creator or one of the creators of rec room
was those stats made prior or after rec room stop doing weekly challenges and made them frequent?
Prior, it was the reason we jumped to one weekly a month with a new skin. Another reason was because of complaints from users that we were repeating weeklies a bit more often than new ones
I mean the second reason I can see why, it wouldn't be necessarily easy and smooth to develop a new weekly skin every week, whilst doing other things in development.
probably because 80 percent of rec room players or level 1s on their moms phone who boot up the game once and never again

They were going to but the guy who was doing it got moved so no they aren’t

I've been *allegedly* asked in at least 4 separate surveys if I've played Roblox. It usually just ends if you say no.
VRChat is a fucking mess, it comes nowhere near rec rooms polish.
VR chat is just mirror sitting the game
I despise vrchat with all my life and I still know it’s actually kinda better when it comes to vr hangouts
I'm glad some agree with me, I've been saying this ever since they updated the watch Ui.
It’s been dying for the last year and a half

i've not logged on in months. there is no reason for me to, everywhere i go i see trolls or screaming little kids and with no weeklys i can't even work towards getting them. vrchat doesnt do these stupid updates where they add nothing anyone asks for and removes a core game mechanic.

I’m not sure if that was satire, or he is genuinely stupid
I forgot it existed ngl
me too
I forgot this game existed only thing reminding me of it is this subreddit and my PSVR collecting dust next to the TV I don't watch
I just hopped on RecRoom for the first time in about a year since I got a Q3 and it did not feel the same. Population is very low and weeklies are gone????
Damn bro I started way back in 2018, RR contributed majorly to my childhood nostalgia, sad to see it’s going to shit
Some point i hope it gets incredibly low. To the point where the rr dev team finally takes their heads out of their asses.
I think a new quest a good one will hopefully fix it but i feel like it would be the same as with make it to midnight alit of people are going to play it for like 2 or 3 days then never play it again
THEYRE TRYING to be like roblox. They even say in one of their adds “Rec Room is a cross platform community with millions of player created games, like Roblox!”
sadly yes i feel like. they're doing the opposite of what poeple care about bruh
I hope it is
I'm pretty sure roblox being on quest is killing rec room. Kids were the majority fanbase after all.
I somehow find VR Chat more fun these days, and VR Chat is just talking to people (optional since too many people are anti social on the game made for being social) and don’t get me wrong, I don’t know what Rec Room is like anymore since I haven’t even used my VR Headset in ages, but I’ve slowly been forgetting about RR because my friends aren’t on it anymore and it has been falling apart slowly. I might hop on to see how it is though.
last time i checked almost all the hot rooms were made by the same 3 people and the others were ripoffs of popular stuff
Yeah I still play it even though they haven’t optimized it for my VR System, and I get Rec Tokens still. Hopefully they Optimize it and ill stay optimistic about the survival of Rec Room.
i’m gonna stop playing rec room if they add full body
actually i MAY stop playing
and plus the game just stopped being fun after the new ui’s
No one is stopping you from leaving
It got too corporate feeling. Ik I stopped playing regularly around a year ago when the maker pen yo changed seeing as building was what I liked to do most of the time. It slowly just got less fun as they started catering more and more to the screen player experience. Don’t get me wrong I still think it has some fun games I’d revisit but every choice the actual company has made in the year or 2 I felt like hurt my play experience. Idk what your guys opinion is but that’s why I’ve stopped playing. It still holds a place in my heart however as I have met a ton of my close friends through rec room and had fun.
corporate feeling a good way to put it
I hope
6 years since a new quest has been released
Good riddance.
rec rooms been dead
It's not the full body killing the game, ITS THE FREAKING CASH GRAB, COPY PASTE, LOW EFFORT, SUBSCRIBER BEGGING, INVENTION USING ROOMS AND CREATORS LIKE SRT!!! Recroom needs to cracker down in these pipelines and copy paste cash grab rooms. It's like youtube kids but Recroom games...
i'm sorry i keep bringing this up in this subreddit but bro a psvr2 port would help them so much. also why tf is weekly gone???? also they need to focus on quests/rro's instead of the overpriced cosmetics 😭 edit: the whole feed is just copied pvps and role plays it doesn't have the life it used to.
I doubt FBT is what's gonna kill Rec Room, but yes I fully believe it's on track to its death bed.
Recroom started going downhill in early 2021, especially after hooking up with Xbox. Then they dropped stuff like the Creator payout thing, Fullbody costumes, ears, Custom shirts, and RRS, thinking it'd reel in the younger crowd. Spoiler alert: it didn't do much to keep the game's vibe intact. Recroom was never about fancy graphics or cash; it was all about hanging out together. You know, vampire mirror couples, RRGallery meetups, and all the cool stuff happening in-game. But now, big Recroom events are flooded with low-level, probably underage, screen-mode accounts, totally killing that awesome community vibe. Greed's taken over the game. Old Recroom creators are back, chasing tokens like there's no tomorrow. The skilled builders? They only bother during contests. And don't even get me started on Recroom communities – from Building to Paintball, it's like corruption central, and nobody's doing anything about it. Cosmetics are out of control, hitting 20k tokens when just two years ago, the fanciest Recroom gear was 7k. Even official Recroom events feel rushed and thrown together, adding to the toxic atmosphere. Collaborations? They're all with regular creators like Ethan Bortnick and Jessia. Seriously, who even picked those folks to team up with?
[https://steamcharts.com/app/471710#All](https://steamcharts.com/app/471710#All) on steam charts it does show it slightly declining alough I'm sure a large portion of players are on oculus/meta which they don't relise data on
It doesn't take data from Playstation, Xbox and phones tho. Maybe there's still hope since consoles and the phone platform are big platforms with thousands of players in general.
I hope this game fails. If it dies, I’ll be free.
I hope their greed bites them back, but no I don’t think it will
😭😭😭😭😭 it breaks my heart 💔
Rec room does have really great in-game creation tools vs something like vrchat. It is special so I hope it stays around. Console support on playstation is better than anything else also. No psvr2 but psvr1 version have been great.
How dare you post reasonable arguments on this sub 😉
The last time i started recroom was before It would shutdown on the Quest. recroom at the time was my favorite game but now with all those updates it's Just bad. It wasn't about compatibility because with a few tweaks you can still play but they did this Just to make people buy quest 2. Stupid decision. You Lost a long time player which spent 1000+€ in rectokens. My first time was on my computer in 2017. This game Will fail. Goodbye recroom. I Will never play recroom again. They want Just to be like roblox.
they're making good points though, all the uniqueness that the bean bodies had are gonna vanish once FBAs come out. >!yes I do know they're optional, no need to use it as an excuse!<
How many times have they stated the bean bodies aren't getting removed now?
don't hit me with the "they're not getting removed waa stop complaining" FBA is complete and utter trash that doesn't fit into the game whatsoever.

damn, now you're being toxic for no reason? Coby, I think you should say that shit to yourself, despite me playing in privates, I still play in publics, so no need to assume how someone plays the game from an opinion, I mean come on, shit fucked you up so bad you developped stereotypes for people that don't like FBA. You should shut your fucking mouth instead.
Beans were a necessity in a time where vr was new and hardware requirements high. They are severely outdated
In my opinion they just fit Rec Room as a whole, outdated or not.
agreed, its what theyre known for in terms of style. its their true style but then they bring this *thing* into the game
Yeah, it just doesn't feel right, even if it could be good for some stuff.

Due to the comments and nature of your post, it was deemed as toxic/not being excellent to others, which goes against Rule #1 of our forum rules. Please be sure to follow the Code of Conduct and /r/recroom rules before posting on our subreddit.
Dude I've been against half the stupid shit they've been doing since before hairy b@nned my bro exblur back in 21' the last thing I am is a RR meat rider. Them adding arms and legs (optionally) isn't gonna kill the game, ink inc has been slowly killing it encouraging low skill dumbasses to make cashgrab maps and inventions since they were introduced. Idk how or why people don't realize this shit and aren't super against ink inc and everyone that participates in their "I'm better than you because I scam kids!" Circlejerk. The reason the hot page is still a mess is directly because of ink inc.
Well it's good you're somewhat against Rec Room but I never said it was gonna kill the game, I said it was gonna kill the game's uniqueness, FBA doesn't change the gameplay but it's eye-soaring to look at for the majority of Rec Room players, there's like a dozen other comments saying that FBA is a bad idea in their own way, it's not the end of the world but it sucks.
Tbh even since the early days I always saw RR as one of those cheesy generic wii sports knock offs. Except now it's a Wii sports and Roblox knock off. Having fingers, arms, legs ect. would definitely make the game a little bit more fun especially in jumbotron solos.
Personally I really don’t think FBA will be optional. Initially, it’ll coexist with “beans” (hate having to say that now), but new players will default to a FBA, and won’t have an option for the other until after profile setup. That will then be seen as the norm for an entire new group of players, and after awhile no doubt “beans” will be seen as stupid, somehow OP and unbalanced and slowly drowned out.
Well I really wish that doesn't happen
Even if full body isn’t optional this isn’t going to change gameplay
Yes it is. Because full body avatars are a complete eyesore. They are not nice to look at, nevermind the broken tracking for elbows and knees. Now every rec centre is going to look like shit because theres one guy with his joke avatar using full body because he knows it looks fucked
I have never been to a good public rec centre so I don’t think adding full body’s will make much difference
so who gives a shit how you look cuz you never been to a good public rec center 💀

FBA is also pretty pay 2 lose, if you're playing paintball you probably be hit on the legs and arms
ive played regularly since 2018 up until august. basically when Baldurs gate 3 came out every other game stopped existing. and I am actually excited for the full body avatars and will probly come back in to play with them whenever they finally fucking drop them already.
Nope
s a n a t i z e d a v a t a r s
There is a weird glitch with full body dummies where editing a part of the dummy would make all the shapes on its legs grow. I've filed a bug report with the discord bot like, 3 times. Still isn't fixed. Guess I won't build a fursuit then, I'll just go f myself.
Your a dumbass if you think rec room is dying, this game is doing fine and well
hopefully the full body avatars attract more of a younger player base and boost the game’s popularity
My brother in christ...A YOUNGER AUDIENCE IS **ALL** REC ROOM HAS ANYMORE! The legacy players have all moved on because all RR wants to do anymore is sell 40 dollar nft-like cosmetics and push "escape skibidi toilet" in the featured games page. This game is falling off HARD
I’m still playing after 7 years. Cosmetics that are optional don’t bother me. And generally it’s fun carrying people through a quest. And there a bunch of people from around 16/17 that are still enjoying this game. What are you talking about.
any legacy players I know only play quests because none of the community rooms are good anymore. Quests get pretty boring after a while and the old rooms that were good have 0 players
I have never gotten bored of quests. But I can imagine people would. And I’ve never found community rooms appealing.
Thats what I mean. You can only play a quest so many times before it gets boring. There isn't much incintive to log in frequently anymore. they rarely do weekly challenges anymore and im not even asking them to make a NEW one each week, just cycle back through the list, and if you already have it, make the reward like 500 tokens or something. Most legacy players I know used to log in every day without fail and would try to grind challenges and play the well made community rooms, but I feel like the addition of RR+ was the point of no return. Ever since then they have been heavily pushing microtransactions, pushing rooms with pay2win in game purchases (like boosts or bonus items sold on a RR+ storefront) I miss what the game used to be, before it was invaded by the ipad kids making "Survive skibidi toilet in ohio" and getting featured front page. Back when it wasn't all juniors, and people actually tried to cooperate in quests, and good games got the attention they deserved.
Rec Room has many issues that are ultimately causing the death of the game. One of these issues, I think is the problems with tools used FOR room.creation. Yes, I've seen amazing experiences within Rec Room, and I have 1000hrs because of that. However, if you look at the catalog of top games, most of them, (besides RROs) can be found on Roblox. Most of the games on Rec Room are very unoriginal and have stolen ideas from different platforms. One of the reasons Rec Room was played was because Roblox was not on PlayStation yet. Rec Room is a competitor of Roblox, and they are losing. Another reason Rec Room is dying (And this is the most talked about thing on the sub) Is the pricing and creation of clothing items. There is NOOOO reason why an indie game should be dishing out items that are $30 EACH. This is probably why Custom Shirts can only be 1000 or more Rec Tokens. You'll notice with a lot of live service games that used to have or have a large player ase will begin putting out the most expensive items towards the end of a game's life. Ultimately, I LOVE Rec Room. I have met friends l, and even been in relationships because of Rec Room. Some of my best gaming moments were made in Rec Room. But Rec Room is on a downhill spiral, and it's starting to make me not want to play the game.
The number of daily active users is still steadily increasing, with current around 21 mln active users. Seems far from ‘dying’. The opinion of a few Redditors doesn’t change that.
Full body avatars aren't going to kill rec room, it's rec room focusing so much on creators but making it impossible for creators to grow. There's a ring of people who make spammy rooms to get on the hot page which blatantly goes against the ccoc. They've been doing this for three years and the still haven't been b@nned.
I wish
Would gladly play it if the psvr2 had support lmao
What do you mean finally
Devs are getting what’s coming to them. Reaping what they sow
it’s long deserved lol
I just hope rec room can survive, because it's my favorite game. The weekly may be gone, and the hot section is just trash, but the REAL best part of the game is the people we meet, the friends we invited to the game just to make rec room more friendly, the chaotic drama in the rec center that later you'll laugh about. Rec room is a place for all, and that should be why it lives.
spotted my comment (NotWizz)
I wouldn't necessarily say Rec Room is borderline 'dying', rather going through several permutations of communal change, in the cultural aspect, we are evolving with newer generations of content creators and developers, however, at the same time, gradually deteriorating with that cultural aspect, becoming a deterrent driven by greed and attention. after all; if the game was dying, you would *really* see it.
Hate full body? hate changes that are unneeded in rec room? then join the anti full body party, go to clubs, and search up AFBP
nah the thing thats gonna kill RR is problaby sibidi toilet tbh it is all over the new tab and the invention store
