morallyobjected posted:It's nothing special or anything, especially compared to some of the crazy poo poo people pull off in other videos, but I was happy with this because it was the first time I had actually managed to do something effective with air boosting to lead to a goal: No need to dig your own hole there. I thought that was nice.  This was my own favourite play from the beta, even though I dash like a madman and miss the ball in the beginning. It turns into a pretty neat assist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qY3mnZoRbM I love how the guy who scores reads the play pretty well too. Gets the full boost (after I crash into him) and then just zooms past all the opponents to slam the pass in. This is also why I love replays after goals - you can see what your teammates are doing. Can't wait to play again, be it the next round of beta or the full release.

If someone is unable to play and is itching for more, here's one full game of mine from beta 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43oEllYU5NY I'm very much a newbie, but I did manage to do pretty well in that match. It's got a couple of saves, and I thought the second goal was pretty neat.

A friend of mine set up a sweet assist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbINHTisUR8 I can't get enough of this game, it's just so fun in a way games very rarely are, especially online. Since there seem to be a bunch of people who feel the same way, I expect this game to have a dedicated community for years to come. That's a happy thought.

Pleads posted:This game needs a no-goalie mode where cars who sit in the crease for more than a certain amount of time just blow up. Are you seeing this a lot in matches? Because playing on the European server, I haven't. Just sitting in the box can't be too efficient, since you'd be too far to contribute anything at offence. I tend to hang back and not really crash the boards at offensive end much. I've found that it often makes a lot of sense for the defensive player to roam at the half-way line, since you can often get shooting chances off weak clearances, or at least keep applying pressure by returning the ball to the corners.

Pleads posted:Playing defensively and hanging back a bit is fine, it's the people who literally sit inside the net the whole game that bother me. But since it leaves us a man up near the ball, as soon as possession starts to shift to us I just boost down and ram into the goalie as hard as I can, usually destroying them. Well, you've found a good counter for goalkeepers then. When I was playing with a buddy, we didn't designate either of us for playing defense, we just tried to make decisions based on what's happening. It was a lot of fun seamlessly transitioning from offense to defense and back again, and I feel it doesn't make sense to have someone play exclusively a goalkeeper. Often the player who hangs a bit back from the action can get the best and easiest shooting opportunities, or can launch quick counter attacks from their own end. If you feel you can't do much to contribute to that attack, just fall back and replace them on defense. I love how you can even have a tactical discussion about this game. So good.

icking fudiot: Are you guys aware of the bug that sometimes people's chat messages just do not get sent? If it happened to just me I would've thought that I was just banned from talking or something, but it's been happening every now and then in our group. When the bug happens, I don't think my messages ever work before I restart the application. After that they seem to work fine. I've been leaving my PS4 on standby a lot lately with Rocket League running, maybe something to do with that? Also, tried 4vs4 with a full team for the first time, played for two and a half hours. It's not as crazy as I expected, and it's great that the option is there, even though 3vs3 is probably better balanced.

MrLonghair posted:It's just a big questionmark, what do the ten cars have going for them and what exactly do you customize, do the arenas have gmmicks or sticking to this beaitulf theme, etc. Things could make or break. Eh, the draw here is insanely good and fun gameplay, not unlocking customization items. I'd buy this for 20 bucks even if there was nothing else than what's in the beta, because the core game is way more engaging than any sports games in ages.

icking fudiot posted:If it soothes your minds a little guys, there's a lot of inherent protections we have against PC causing crossplay issues. I kinda agree... But on the other hand, I think it's very much possible to write hacks that you can use to steer you automatically towards hitting middle of the ball, or something in that vein. Hopefully they allow you to play with just console players, if you want to. In any case you can host your own private games, if you don't feel like playing randoms. VVVVVV Yeah, or that.

https://twitter.com/RocketLeague/status/608708054062776320 "@AMMu3aTh No plans for another beta. We are focusing on release now. July 7 is fast approaching" Well, gently caress. How am I supposed to cope for almost a month without being able to play Rocket League? Witcher 3 might be one of the best games I've ever played, and I've probably got 150 hours of it left, but while playing I just find myself wishing I could be bicycling balls to the walls.

Holy poo poo, that's amazing. Would be quite interesting to hear business details behind this since this might be the first time at least on PS4 where a new release with a heavy focus on online play is given for free. Like, has Sony agreed to pay for the servers for a set period of time to make this happen or something like that? Don't expect icking fudiot to answer, but just wondering how Sony was able to entice you guys into doing this. You guys better have a bunch of servers prepared for release day.

OlliOlli 2 has an online component, but probably not even close to requiring as much server power as Rocket League will. Ninja edit: But I'm veering off topic, which is ROCKET LEAGUE!!

Well gently caress. I was hoping to get some games in before the inevitable server meltdown after NA users get in, but it happened way sooner than that. At least season mode is pretty fun, but I guess I should know better than get people hyped for playing something online on release day.

sba posted:If I paid $20 would these issues have been avoided?? Because I'd have preferred that scenario. Yeah me too, but to me it looked like the issues started before there was a huge influx of PS+ players. They were mentioning some database problems in Twitter. Last night it didn't seem to record the stats, such as wins, saves or boost times for different parts. Not sure if that could've been related. That seems to work now though, but the servers don't, so idk. Hope you guys can get the stuff working again soon. I'm guessing quite a few people who bought the game on Steam have gotten refunds already, since the servers aren't up.

All star bots on the CPU side are really drat effective at accurate long shots and slamming in passes if you let some through the crease. Definitely better than most people playing online will be. Playing as a goalkeeper on defense seems like a must. The bots are surprisingly good in many ways, but they completely break if they would have to block shots when they are driving towards their own goal. Usually the bot will just drive into the own goal slightly before the ball rolls in.

ufarn posted:Matchmaking’s been pretty weird in that I’ve almost kept getting 4-0 victories except one game where we lost. Not that I’m not having fun - but I guess there are some people on the receiving end who aren’t. Most people haven't played too many games yet. It takes awhile for most people to have sort of a reliable ranking. Managed to get few 4vs4 in a private match in. Fun as hell. Couple of instances where somebody dropped from the game, and bots didn't replace them, but this I can live with. I'm just happy the servers seemed pretty fine.

/\/\/\/\/\/\ No thanks, unless you get a 15 second or so grace period to test out if the server lags or not. Quitting should be punished though, but there needs to be a way out of laggy games. Ranked games really trump unranked for me now. Got up to 700 points on solo standard, which isn't that special, but the games have gotten way more tense. I feel I'm learning and getting better at a faster pace now that games are almost free of the dumbest mistakes. One thing that's frustrating as hell though is ranked games starting lopsided. Started three 2vs3's today, and was always on the short-handed side. In the first one we managed to make two opponents ragequit less than two and a half minutes into the game, but I didn't stick around to play the later two. Just finished playing for tonight, and the games were getting pretty laggy. Only two out of the five last games on EU I tried were smooth. Still, the server situation is way better now than during the first week, so nbd. Follow That Fish! fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jul 20, 2015 |
