Re: Why is Angry Birds so popular?
1. The characters are cute
2. The graphics are bright and pretty
3. The level designs are interesting
4. It's very easy to play, and the mechanics are super intuitive. Aim bird. Launch bird. Tap again if your bird is a special type with a secondary move (split-bird, diving bird, bomb, etc)
5. The skill element has been effectively removed from the game. As long as you're launching shit in the generally-correct direction in the generally-correct order, you'll beat the level. There's a fair bit of luck involved due to pixel-kludging, which means less-skilled players have more opportunity to feel accomplishment for beating a level.
6. It's playable by users of all ages
7. It's free
8. It's heavily marketed and very marketable -- it's also easy to take the general IP and churn out different variants of the same game (different themes / types of birds / etc)Last edited by Reincarnate; 04-17-2013, 04:15 PM.Comment

Re: Why is Angry Birds so popular?
'Why is MLP popular?' is a fine question. However, it is unrelated and offtopic to this thread. If you want to know and you're not willing to read through the hundreds of pages of the various MLP threads to find out (and I don't blame you -- that's a lot of pages!), you can make a separate thread about it and I'm sure plenty of people will answer.
Thank you all for your input.

Re: Why is Angry Birds so popular?
Seriously, this thread is about Angry Birds. If you want to know about MLP, make a separate thread about that.
Please and thank you.
It's a fine question, but let's not derail threads.sigpicOriginally posted by Crashfan3Comment

Re: Why is Angry Birds so popular?
The mlp example can be related to for this thread, but the discussion about it is not the point. I just threw it out as a comparison. Discussion about it should be elsewhere, but is not needed because not one person gives a legit reason of why it is popular anyway, so pointless to even bother.Comment

Re: Why is Angry Birds so popular?
- Some people watch it because its actually targeted to a gender-neutral audience indicated by the creators.
- Some people watch it because they are lonely
- Some people watch it for the porn
- Some people watch it for the messages about life
I watch it like every other kid show. But I watch it because I'm going into the cartoon film industry. (AKA pixar / dreamworks)
There. There are some blunt reasons why.
...
Anyway, back to the OP.
Like others said, right time, right place. Also, it had a simple objective with slowly progressing levels that anyone could do. Effective and creative characters that were cute / badass for all ages. Also who dosen't love destroying the fuck out of things.
