Rocket League

This game deserves its own thread.

Anyway, here's a cool interview from Gamasutra about the jumping mechanic

i've played this a bit at friends' houses, it's hilarious

I actually have to stop myself from playing this late at night as the adrenaline rush means I need 30-40 minutes cooldown before sleep is possible.

It also straddles a fine line of sometimes I'm amazing vs sometimes I'm a little bad that keeps it addictive. The lows of doing own goals don't outweigh the amazingness of one perfect/lucky goal.

My only beef is that with the online matching it can be very obvious with 20 seconds if your entire game is going to be fucked by one awful player...

LOVE IT.

best game of rocket league i've played so far last night!
3 x 3 ranked match, and one player on our side dropped out 30 seconds in which is always an awful sign.
somehow we managed to win 7-0, with me scoring 2 hat tricks

i might even youtube that shit.

THIS GAME!

i only did the tutorial and didn't like the controls so the hype surrounding this eludes me

Hard to believe you didn't have fun playing a game tutorial

is it? ok i'll give the tutorial another shot

haha

come on man play the real game against other people. it's fun

this is fun but i'm terrible at it

okay there's some shitty bits in this and i rely way too much on double flip forward, but still a fun one

Nice, it always feels nice to win undermanned.

Those dudes are pretty bad though hehe

Finally gave this a shot, not too shabby

Just got it for real. Loads of fun. Had a match that went into crazy intense overtime.

hoopz

i don't think i'm good enough at rocket league for hoopz

yeah aerial maneuvers are not easy and they would be at a premium here.

this game is instantly addicting.

b-ball is fun but frustrating at the moment. i can tell it is going to do wonders for my air game!

I am so terrible at flying. I spent an hour in the freestyle mode just trying to nail down the mechanics. Still suck.

my earlier comment confirmed - i am not good enough to play hoopz.

the training sessions help a lot for the basics of just hitting balls in the right direction from various angles.

aerial and flying is completely beyond my old man reflexes.

If this ever made it to the 360 I would be on this in a flash.

I've been playing a lot of Hoops :)
