So, I have been playing Rocket League and I can't stop. Well, I'm at work now, but at least I'm thinking about Rocket league even if I can't be playing. On the surface, the game seems like a simple, uninteresting gimmick of a game. You drive cheesy cars around and hit a soccer ball. Big deal right? Wrong. This game is ingenious and amazing.
At first, I drove the car around and hit the ball and thought it was just silly fun, and fun it certainly was. But then I realized that it took skill to hit the ball and to score. This involves timing and strategy and is a skill based competitive game. There are thousands of people who play online, so the community is strong.
The matches are 5 minutes long, so you don't get bored and you don't have to suffer for very long if you are getting owned (highly likely at first). This makes for a great pace and constantly lets you play fresh new matches with new people.
The struggle between your team and the opposite team to control the ball and score, creates an extreme feeling of intensity and competitiveness. It feels like you are playing a true sport from an emotional perspective. When you score, it is usually very hard earned and gives an immense feeling of satisfaction. When you block the opposing team's shot and prevent them from scoring, you feel like a hero.
The environment and sounds make you feel like you have an audience. When you hit the ball you hear the crowd rise up and cheer in excitement. The crowd can he heard chanting similarly to how they do in real stadiums. Even though you know its fake, it adds to the experience in a positive way.
This is also the ULTIMATE RAGE GAME. If you play a ranked match or even a non ranked match, people will get pissed and they will rage. That's because this game is for real. Its the real deal. This is a real deal video game and captures the essence of what a fun, competitive game is all about.
I rage hard as hell when I put in 100% effort to control the ball, our teams battle, I save 2 or 3 shots from going in our goal, we keep fighting like hell and then all of a sudden, the opposing team get a lucky random goal. IT MAKES ME RAGE because this game is brilliant. It invites you to invest a lot of energy and attention to win, and when you don't win, you feel that pain. You feel that pain like a real video game should make you feel it, and far too few games these days capture that kind of experience.
This game is for real and is the only thing that has dragged me away from BF4 and not left me feeling like I missed something while I was away. When I force myself to play other games so I can get my money's worth, I tell myself, "Damn, I could have been wrecking a BF4 server all this time" and I can't wait to get back to BF4. Not with Rocket League. When I play Rocket League, my whole ass is playing Rocket League with no other thoughts. I'm not half way playing Rocket League and half way thinking about BF4. I'm not trying to get my money's worth from Rocket League. Rocket League has stolen me. It has dragged me off my stale gamer ass and forced me to have genuine fun again. This is what a game should be about. Rocket League is perfect.
