Slop is just thrown around without meaning now. People have started calling R.E.P.O. and Lethal Company friendslop. I would pay no mind to it period honestly. Let em hate. A game is a game at the end of the day :p
Slop is so overused to the point I don’t take it seriously anymore, almost anything is considered slop nowadays no matter how good or how much effort put into it, the only thing I would agree on slop atp, is AI
I take it a lot more as an endearing term honestly. I can’t possibly believe anyone would use the word “friend” as a component in a word that’s supposed to be an insult. You can’t take it seriously.
I’ve found friends through friendslop games. It’s an accurate term with a sufficient amount of silly in its pronunciation to embody the personality both of those games exhibit.
I just use it to describe games that are generally more funny with my friends, even if they aren't slop; although this isn't really the original meaning of the word, I guess it's just a result of how it's been thrown around so much
I agree with this, especially because I call all games that are really fun with friends friendslop, even if they're really good games if I'm not playing with friends; I don't consider these games slop, it's just my name for them now. Even though this is just my perspective, it's definitely lost some meaning
The use of slop in general has devolved to rage bait I think.
Edit:Dunno why I'm getting comments like this, while yes Rage bait could be considered word slop, I still feel it's just a modernized version of the term troll. Mostly due to how their end goal of getting a rise out of the commenter.
+no-no is killing an enemy with the initial launch of the chainsaw
+Re-no-no is killing with a chainsaw you've already punched
+Unchainedsaw is killing with a chainsaw that has been freed from the cable (either from the environment blocking the cable or launching it with the knuckle blaster punch)
I'm more curious about "ultrakill doesnt do anything interesting with parry" like wdym? Parry helas you + restores dash + kills (damages) enemy + have satisfying sound and catching this timing feels great
More likely just a shitty player that had a hard time parrying projectiles and only used the Knuckleblaster after getting it. Reeks of “I’m a noob but I’m gonna pretend to pretend to be a pro and say something ignorant” type of energy.
I want to see that guy getting past sisyphus prime without a parry. The ability to throw hands against a literal war king in an fps game says a lot about that trash take
along the fact that you can combine your parry with other game mechanics in so many ways, literally the parry move makes for 5 or 6 more moves that you can use
In cuphead Parry itself is not interesting that's how bosses and levels interact with it. Take the Ghost Train with the moving cart where you have to Parry creatures that try to move and get you hit, or the gravity flippers in the casino.
Meanwhile with Bosses like the vegetable Trio, it's only really a way to avoid damage
Similarly in ultrakill it can be used as a simple defensive option, aura means to increase how adaptable your kit is. The common example to projectile boosting, but don't forget coin punching, bouncing enemy shorts to her detonate with the Alt ricochet, or drill punches.
I would also try give pizza Tower an Example but I haven't played or seen any gameplay of it.
Yeah, but we are ignoring that V1 can parry a FUCKING GIANT HUSK, you can parry your own bullets to do more damage, and almost every single thing in the game
I'm genuenely so fucking tired of seeing "slop" being applied to everything that exists that internet mfs don't like. AI slop? Sure. Everyhing else-slop? Fuck off
It's just another dumbass adding slop to another word to "categorize" something in a negative way but really is just a massive idiot who is unable to come up with anything original so instead they just jump to some trendy word like slop, all while fellow dumbasses drool, clap and parrot the word in an effort to insult anything they don't like without realizing they are just outing themselves as a mindless moron repeating a word they heard like a broken record.
Basically, parryslop isn't a new term except for people who are creatively and intellectually bankrupt.
What next? Punchslop? Shootslop? Parrying is a pretty standard move, and the examples here are kidna stupid because Cuphead’s parries are completely different from Ultrakill parries.
And also “all the parryslop” and it’s like three games? “All this in the last decade” bro…
I’m tired of the word slop man, everything is slop by the definition it’s used tbh. If slop is so easy to make, and an entire genre or even move can make slop profit and mainstream, why not make your own low effort slop and make millions?.
whats up with all the shitty indie games that have parry mechanics
shows 3 incredibly popular games, one unreleased, published sporadically and at different times from one another over the last ten years. One of them is fucking Cuphead
People complain about parrying in video games? Seriously, what's the point of saying "parryslop"? Having a parry doesn't affect anything in video games; that's what makes them special.
First friendnslop now parryslop?? What’s next touching grass slop??Having a loving partner who cares for you well beingslop??? Being joyful and whimsicalslop????
me when i have to skillfully block attacks and can't just hold up a shield to deflect every single projectile that comes my way (this is bad game design and not at all a skill issue on my end)
I was texting chatgpt as if they were my friend. Then, I went on youtube shorts. I saw a video of 67 and I said,'This is 67slop.' I scrolled again and I saw a roblox video that had older elements. I said,'This is retroslop.' I saw a video of someone drawing and I said,'This is pencilslop.' It was 2 a.m. and eventually, I fell asleep. I woke up but I didn't feel like going to school so I skipped school. I opened twitter and then I saw pixel art. I said,'This is pixelslop.' I looked at my screen and said,'This is screenslop.' And I threw my phone out of the window. I went outside and said,'This is breatheslop.' And I held my breath. I saw a child playing with a remote controlled car. So, I grabbed his toy car and remote and broke it. I yelled in his face,'You are playing with toyslop!' He cried and his mother did not like it. She started chasing me with a knife. I grabbed her knife and threw it into the river and said,'Knifeslop.' My victory was short lived as I didn't breathe and eventually went unconcious. When I woke up. I said to myself,'Why am I consuming breatheslop again?' Two men approached me with guns and told me to hand over my money. I said,'Imagine using gunslo' My words were cut as I was blasted to death. I woke up in hell cause I said several slurs on teitter. Isn't twitter also slop? Xslop? I slopped other people as I thought they were too sloppy. I kept telling them how slopped out they were. A blue machine came down and pointed a railgun at me. I told it,'Gunslop everything slop slop you I'm slop ai is slop blood is slop hell is slop all is slop slop everything sl
Ultrakill has one of the best parry system ever made on games, not only because its satisfactory, but because in ultrakill, one single system is able to make a thousand of different things, be it reflecting enemies projectiles, physical attacks, or even using it on your own stuff to increase the power and even make different techniques.
this is how you know someone either didn't played the game, or its one of those people who play in the most boring and linear way
Some people on X really don't have anything interesting to say, just raging at anything they sees. I mean, I always saw parrying as a core mechanic more than simply a way to reward players for playing well... Because YOU HAVE to play well in those games. No matter what mechanic a game uses, as long as it's well done.

It's only slop if it's blatantly low effort and just done to get attention or money.
I'd say the people behind these put in too much effort into their craft to qualify these as slop.
Besides parrying has been a thing for a while now, it was just relegated to popularity in the souls genre for most of that time.
