Jackbox Party Pack 4 just got released

Jackbox Party Pack 4 just got released
too bad i don't have any money

That looks as shitty of a game as 1, 2, Switch!. Is it any good? What is it really all about?

Jackbox are a series of party games, this being the fourth one obviously. All come with 5 games, they're a million times better then 1 2 switch. Played using your phone. Good for groups of people, not a game for single loners.

How does it connect with the phone? I really hate having to use my phone to use things that are completely not phone related (like a drone that doesnt come with a controller of its own). Anyway, it looks too expensive for 5 party games...

You don't have to use a phone, you can use any device capable of using a browser.

everything is routed through jackbox.tv. Being a website, any device with an updated web browser will work. The 3DS/Vita in particular are out of date and don't work.

Nice. That just went from "what the fuck, not cellphones again" to something actually interesting. But internet connection needed for a party game kinda sucks on the Switch tho... It kills a little bit of the portability (which is why I think party games on Switch are great)

if you have a cell phone plan that lets you do hotspots it works just fine. Haven't formally tested it but I doubt it uses very much data

The price is pretty high because they host a website for other players to join. You either play this game locally with some friends or over the Internet with the host streaming the game to other players. The delay is annoying but it's pretty fun nonetheless, there are some threads on Sup Forums popping up sometimes to play with some fellow Anons.

I just want a Wario Ware game for the Switch

stream where?

Yeah, the price tag makes sense now haha

Can't really tell if you're being sarcastic and while I do think it's a bit too high, it does make sense. I think you can play this game with up to 7 other players (so 8 total) who don't need to own the game and even more can join as spectators to vote on some things (cool mechanic for larger groups of people).

What's the verdict on the games?

Not being sarcastic. Hosting this kind of thing is expensive, and it doesnt look like the game is made a really big studio, so I'd say it's a fair price

>phone

maybe if you're a fag and don't just play on browser with shitheads on Sup Forums

that said it's not worth owning anything but party pack 3 and drawful 2 since between the two of them they have every game worth playing.

>The delay is annoying but it's pretty fun nonetheless

>add an option in later games to have longer timers specifically because of stream delays
>still not enough

Did they make it even longer in the newest one or did they say "aw fuck it, good enough?"

>party games used to be my favorite genre
>can't play them anymore because no friends

maybe 2/5 games are worth playing per pack.

I don't have any party pack, I only join other hosts occasionally. There is a different streaming service with

there's at least 3 good ones in jackbox 3

I sure hope you aren't counting Tee K.O.
