jjjalljs, 13 dni temu do games w RuneScape player pulls off a personal Shawshank Redemption: Grinds his way out of one-zone house arrest by grinding a raid 2,000 times over 10,000 hours: 'It was all worth it'

I guess everyone needs a hobby but this one sounds less rewarding to me than others.

Isnt there literaly a game thats rocket league but with humans? Aka Soccer with boosts?

GoTime, 13 dni temu

Yeah it’s called Rematch. It’s like soccer with humans and much fun. They should make an IRL sport like it /s

Gork, 13 dni temu

I dunno. A sport that uses balls? Never gonna be popular.

Nothing can compete with Basketcube, Basetetrahedra, or Foottesseract.

Rematch hasn’t released yet, but a few public playtests happened. While there are some strong similarities to Rocket League like controlling a single player, the walled arena and having a form of boost, it’s still very different and hasn’t yet given me the same thrill.

Rematch does not have the verticality, and so it’s missing a whole dimension (and multiple degrees of freedom) of skill expression. The arena is significantly larger, as it’s built for more players, which results in a much slower game. It has the potential to be a very solid new esports game, however I can’t see it pulling away many players from Rocket League.

During Overwatch Summer Games, they have Lucio all, which is just Rocket League with Lucio, maybe that is what you are thinking of?

Make a game that’s just Snow Day and make it available 24/7. Instantly better than RL.

Lyra_Lycan, 13 dni temu

They really need to make all modes available at this stage rather than cycling out

UrPartnerInCrime, 13 dni temu

They had that and it didnt work

Zahille7, 13 dni temu

It worked for literally everyone but them

Clearly never played proball, a quake3 mod which was a fucking hoot and laid a lot of groundwork for Rocket League. Did hours of this at LAN parties

Soccer tournament for unreal was also excellent. Deathball for 2004 for was also brilliant. I’d love to see CoD or Fortnite do a modern fps take on the concept

This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

Same… this is the swiftest of kicks to the nads…

PunnyName, 13 dni temu do games w 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

And I haven’t played it in 9 years either. Not going back.

First and foremost it’s bold to put this out before Drag x Drive releases which is just weird enough to become its own thing. Second, even the owner Epic doesn’t even seem to know what to do with Rocket League because they seem to be trying to make it part of Fortnite. Thirdly, esports are everywhere, sorry not all of them look like legacy sports but that’s not a problem for people playing the games

That’s cute.

Look man, as someone who thought Switch 2 mouse controls were a gimmick and has sunk 17 hours into Civ VII, I don’t feel confident enough to tell all these people that they are wrong. If I had been in college and was told people could get scholarships for NASCAR Soccer I would have laughed in your face. Being that cocky is asking to be wrong

ampersandrew, 13 dni temu

I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I would put good money on this being closer to Excite Truck in the public consciousness a few years from now rather than one of the most successful games of all time. So no, it’s not bold to think that Drag X Drive isn’t going to supplant Rocket League.

philophilsaurus, 13 dni temu

It doesn’t help that Nintendo seems to actively hinder competitive play in their games. It’s not starting from a winning position, but I wouldn’t count it out entirely.

This has to be rage bait

My partner and I had a lot of fun playing RL back when it released. We both purchased it. Toxicity in matches grew exponentially soon after and she was the first to eventually get tired of it’s chat, players scoring against their team, and so on. We both stopped playing and then it’s dev studio was sold to Epic Games and the EGS account requirement was that last little push we needed to know we wouldn’t play it ever again. Still, we share some very good memories of that game. I’d say it was worth the purchase.

Nexus is dead, Start making a new one.

lechekaflan, 13 dni temu

Easy to say, yet so far most of the other modding sites seem to be content sitting on their butts right now.

Building an alternative would take time. And some money.

clif, 14 dni temu do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Promise in one hand, shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.

Let me just use this promise hand to send you a pic.

I’ll give it 8 months before it’s dead

If there was one god damned example of any company saying this and sticking to it I might believe them. But I have yet to be proven wrong. Sucks too as they were my go to for mods.

All the examples I could think of have been recent acquisitions… which means they just haven’t soured… yet. Sadly its inevitable.

MetalMachine, 14 dni temu do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Thats what they all say when they get acquired. “Won’t change our creative direction” type bs.

MufinMcFlufin, 14 dni temu do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Make it a legally binding contract, otherwise don’t bother promising.

_cryptagion, 14 dni temu do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.

sparr, 14 dni temu do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It’s a decade overdue.
