The worst thing about this game is the community. I try to stay friendly to create a good atmosphere but not everyone feels that way. Yesterday me and a friend were down 3-0 and the other guys started to write "rekt" in the chat. We turned that game around and won on overtime so I wrote "rekt" once back and they started calling us names and saying it was undeserved, I mean really? Yeah we're not the greatest at it but damn, some guys are not making this very fun to play.

The worst I've got were some guys spamming that we were console plebs and ps4 sucked and 30 fps and what not. What are you talking about man, if I can read your chat it means I'm a Steam player.

You can read chat no matter what you use to play rocket league :)

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Pulled off my most amazing save so far today. Was driving up the wall and then drove down directly in front of goal to block the shot for an epic save. Felt so good.

My experience has been very different. Granted I only play 1v1 duel unless I'm playing with people I know so maybe it's different in that mode but 90% of the people I play are very friendly, making frequent use of the quick chat messages and complimenting me on shots and saves.

Of course saying that everyone is bad would be a lie. I've had games where everyone is complementing each other. Those are a lot more fun and make the game feel like it should feel. Some dudes or dudettes just sitting around playing RC football and recognizing the absurdity of it.
 
I'm kicking ass lately.

You know what I like most about Rocket League?

I like it when, every so often, something inside me switches off, and I go utterly primal; relinquishing my button inputs to the direct, focused fury of some higher, inner capability. Eye of the storm, calmly, obsessively, tearing around the pitch in a purely instinctual bombardment of flips and boosts.
 
This game is so good. I usually can't get into MP games; the only ones I ever put any time into were AC Brotherhood and Nidhogg

Usually I hate how you have to sink hours and hours to see good gear and perks and weapons, and it sucks going up against skilled players with all the best gear while you only have starting or early weapons. Competitive MP never really fun for me

Here, there's nothing to unlock. It's all skill based. Everyone's on the same playing field. And the movement alone is so fun; jumping off the wall or boosting through the air to intercept the ball is so satisfying

I'm going to be sinking a lot of time into this
 
Whoa. Game is averaging 50K-60K players

Never saw it this low, but it does usually go back high on weekends

That's a high number for an mp only game. It's top ten on steam for PC players alone. The first few weeks with super high numbers were bound to drop because the game isn't free anymore and the casual players move on. It's still selling very well so it will probably slowly creep up again.

School has started. seeing as this was free and it had good word of mouth by prominent YouTubers, my guess is that a good amount of players are little kids/ teens in school.

Totally. There are times where you become one with the game and it's almost like you are watching yourself play it instead of actually playing it. And when this happens you are boss and literally take over the game. It's a great feeling.

Ditto. I didn't notice it when I first played; but since it's gotten a bit more popular every 2nd game or so someone is calling someone else a c*nt/f*ggot over mic.

I was playing 2v2 and a guy on my team called someone on the other team a f*ggot so I started scoring own goals. He got angry and rage quitted.

The next game I went into I was on the opposite team to him - he started berating me, saying he was going to beat my ass etc etc.

I ended up winning 12-2; I scored 8 goals. The biggest winning margin I've had so far. Felt good.

FUCK the lag, both input and latency, I've been getting lately. this makes the game unplayable for me. FUCK THIS it's infuriating
 
Let it be known, if I had to vote for everyone to get stabbed once or we anonymously vote for one person to take them all, I would vote for avid Vita lover BioSpock/Dangansona.

Hey I played a match of this again last night.... Ended up with the MGS V shakes though.

Gonna be back for that patch though. Should hopefully be done with MGS by that point since I'll be closer to 100 hours. Then it's Rocket League and PES until Fallout.

The FUCK is wrong with the servers? I just got kicked for being idle a second after the match started, twice. And the match before that I got disconnected. Annoying.

EDIT: And now I'm banned because the servers are shit. FUCKING LOL.

EDIT 2: Is it because I didn't have the patch? I checked, and there wasn't one (now there is). Maybe handle that situation more smoothly next time, guys...
