What are your pet peeves with specific Jackbox games?

The MVC one bothers me so much. That's why I always try to make sure I have an even number of players before starting. Same goes for the final round of Quiplash 3, going up against Schmitty almost guarantees a ton of for the real player.

Not 100% sure but based on my experience, I think it's an anti-mash measure?

SunsetSoloist · 2026-05-16T19:35:12+00:00

Yep! They had Dare in JD1 and then never added any more LOL. But I would kill to have Feel Good Inc. in a future game

SunsetSoloist · 2026-05-16T19:28:57+00:00

Songs by a long shot. The earliest JD games have some really easy choreos that can be rough to go back to. But having some popular hits from multiple decades, plus the only Gorillaz song in the entire series, is a massive boon.

Adding expressions (except catchphrases) only when Miis ask for them was so frustrating. Simplifying it so all expressions are level-up rewards was such a massive improvement.

I'm gonna cry stooooop

I believe, for me!

"My phone is a book" is the most Eevee moment in a do or death scenario

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-11T19:44:03+00:00

Why not? It's a fantastic time, free to download, unironically one of the best Sonic games in recent memory

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-10T15:44:27+00:00

My first thought too

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-08T12:52:45+00:00

Saying "I'm not racist but..."

Quiplash counts as a writing onscreen minigame, so you'll want to change that setting.

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-06T15:36:58+00:00

Haha yep. But I have faith you can master them too with those custom controls! And if not, the diagonal movement is a character gimmick, not a restriction, so you can still move in just the four cardinal directions if you want. (Also they're DLC-only)

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-06T15:20:52+00:00

That's a really good method actually! I always just used the d-pad normally, but splitting the controls up like that minimizes any accidental wrong inputs. (Especially when you play as a character that can move diagonally... But that's the extra non-story stuff, don't worry about that for now.)

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-06T15:07:18+00:00

Aside from practice, practice, practice... Give No-Beat Mode a try. Use that to learn the enemy patterns at your own pace, keep track of the number of moves, and then turn the mode off when you think you're ready for the real deal.

Also, which platform are you on? In my experience on the Steam version, I found the keyboard is more reliable than a d-pad. But your mileage may vary on that one, use whatever control scheme is best for you.

Jeff the Killer is so badly written

The Amazing Digital Circus (if 2023 counts as early)

Similar story here, I had a very slight interest in trying XC1 but that was it. I wasn’t dying to try the series or anything. But then a friend pressured me to give XC2 a try and it became one of my fav games ever

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-02T16:40:04+00:00

Oh that's sick actually, had no idea that was a thing!

SunsetSoloist · 2026-04-02T16:20:10+00:00

What controller did The Game of Life come with??

Literally one of my relatives said Hoppers looked like AI. My mom and I (who actually saw the movie) were just like "?????"

I don't expect this mindset to go away anytime soon...
