They have unfortunately been on a roll with bad and controversial updates lately. Such a shame for a games with such unique potential.

Just for reference, a year of full-time work is about 2000 hours. This dude did the equivalent of 5 years of working for this.

I understand none of this.

Maalus,

Not much to understand. A chunk is a small part of a map. People do challenges to do everything in a chunk then move to the next. This guy chose a part of a map that took hundreds of hours to complete and did it.

ImplyingImplications,

Have you heard of Cookie Clicker? It’s an idler game where you click a cookie to get points. You can spend those points on upgrades like automated clicking and more points per click. The goal is to get like a billion points or something but with the upgrades you’re eventually getting millions of points a second without even clicking. Now imagine saying “I want to hit a billion points without buying a single upgrade. I’m literally just going to click the cookie a billion times.” That’s what this guy did, but with Old School Runescape.

There’s been a trend of extreme OSRS players trying to one up each other in dedicating years of their life to doing a repetitive task for 18 hours a day, every day.

Coincidence that this article is released the same day Rematch hits Game Pass?

I stopped playing when they decided to require an Epic account to log in years AFTER I bought the game on Steam. It shouldn’t be allowed to alter the terms and conditions in that way afterwards. I bought the game on steam to play it on Steam and wouldn’t have otherwise if a third party account would’ve been necessary.

fuzzzerd,

I didn’t like it either, but you could still play locally against ai without it, it was their online matchmaking and game servers that required the new epic account.

Still sucks, but it’s not quite the same rug pull that’s often seen.

I played that game like 20 years ago. They put players in zone based house arrest? Wtf is that? But then you can somehow grind your way out of it?

Edit: oh it was self imposed.

jedibob5,

It was a self-imposed challenge.

atticus88th,

I’m going on a self-imposed challenge to be a millionaire…

Mission accomplished, how do I get my own article now?

Reminder that ModDB still exists, and works.

EDIT:

Seeing as this is fairly decently upvoted now:

www.moddb.com

and also, I found this

github.com/loicreynier/awesome-modding

absolutely gigantic compendium of tons of mods, websites that have tons of mods for various games that are not nexusmods.

Elevator7009,

link for lazy folks like myself www.moddb.com

sp3ctr4l,

Sorry, I probably should have included that.

I’ve been modding games and making mods for games since before Nexus or SteamWorkshop or anything even existed… I guess people just genuinely have never even heard of moddb these days, like how gamefaqs is an ‘ancient relic’ or w/e.

I had never heard of it! Thanks for sharing

sp3ctr4l,

I also just found this:

github.com/loicreynier/awesome-modding

basically just a huge compendium of everywhere all kinds of mods for anything are hosted, that’ll give you an idea of how the game modding scene is actually rather dispersed, not only monopolized by nexusmods.

not sure if its in this huge list but:

fpsbanana

is another one i am quite familiar with, been going strong with mostly source mods… possibly since the late 90s, at the least the early 2000’s.

Darkenfolk,

you belong in a museum!

Wait, that site isn’t that old right? I used to use it for the battle of middle-earth mods.

Maybe I belong in a museum…

biofaust,

Up until now I thought moddb was all that existed.

Talk about putting part of your life’s work completely out to pasture.

I give it a year. What a shame.

No kidding. And his post saying it was in good hands knowing full well it’s venture capitalists. Fuck him.

This is the same team that made Nikke they know exactly what kind of audience this game is pulling

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

Goretantath, do games w 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

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

GoTime,

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

Gork,

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

Nothing can compete with Basketcube, Basetetrahedra, or Foottesseract.

Damarus,

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.

RamenJunkie,

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

Linktank, do games w 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

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

Lyra_Lycan,

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

@UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works avatar

They had that and it didnt work

Zahille7,

It worked for literally everyone but them

Olap, do games w 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

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
