SaintRam Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I haven't experienced Rocket Labs much, I only play it with my god-awful (at the game) friends. I like the one with the high ceiling though, can really do some nice Aerials in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah I was surprised it took me so long to come across one with stats being pretty much meaningless and no real ranking up system that a loss could effect. I kinda like Rocket League for that reason, it's more laid back than say a Call of Duty full of anger for the W/L and K/D ratio, but saying that I wish it did have something to aim for be it going through prestiges where all cars relock and the antenna items were perks and that as I sit there playing with no real end goal. I bought all the DLC just to go for all the trophies to give me that reason to play. Only need the drive 50km now and they are all complete. Didn't realise it had to be on one set of wheels tho, another 20km to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done all the Achievments + DLC Achievements, and while I do play ranked and therefore have an actual rank to aim for it's quite stressful playing ranked all the time, so I started setting myself side challenges. I have 50 wins in every car, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah I've played a couple of solo competitive and the standard with a mate, it's still not giving me that reason to keep coming back to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. I do wish I knew how many wins or whatever I was off ranking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some people are of the rank below, you're close to ranking down, if some are of the rank above then you're close to ranking up. But yeah, they need to tell us how close we are.

Coneheadjohn Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I play World of Tanks on the xbox one. A mid life crisis thing having 3 boys doesn't help. Happy to have a game with anyone but I play with a load of Aussies so be warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantosHalper Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 A fair amount of the discussion on this thread focuses on tripple-A games. If anyone has any comments on some of the more "indie" games listed below, I'd love to hear. Here's what I've been playing recently: Stardew Valley (lovely and relaxing farming game, a lot like Harvest Moon but with more heart) Her Story (brilliant FMV game in which you piece together a murder mystery. Sam Barlow's underlying mechanic is genius) 80 Days (basically a text adventure, but has a really great sense of personality) Cibele (charts a love story through a JRPG mechanic and a desktop) Firewatch (not a walking simulator. A really great story, including a potential love story that is morally problematic to the player) Papers, Please (you play as the guard at a border station/passport control, and must decide who comes through and who is turned away) Proteus (a serene and beautiful game in which you just... wander around) Undertale (pure genius RPG) Thierry Ennui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be giving it a go, looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started putting time into hardcore for the first time a few weeks ago, soooo frustrating, stand there shooting when some dick just runs straight in front of you and in BO3 you only need one bullet to glance your toe and you're dead. It also seemed kind of obvious to me not to load up with grenades or kill streaks like lightning strikes or rolling thunder but nope, others are lobbing them randomly around, clowns.

StaffsRam Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The 'running in front of you' thing is a great example of how d1ckish these folks are. The 'kicked' measure was put in to punish those idiots who thought it was a great idea to kill their own team mates instead of the other team. Great in theory, but then what actually happens is the d1cks just turned it straight back around by trying to get YOU kicked instead, hence the 'suicide' runs in front of you. Not entirely sure what fun these idiots get out of it, but there you go. Idiots and multi player go hand in hand unfortunately, and of course it gets 10 times worse during the school holidays!

Undertale I bought, but it really wasn't for me. Firewatch I've watched a few youtubers play. Papers, Please I played quite a bit of. Everything else on this list I haven't played. The problem with indie games is how many of them there are On another note, @Srg did you see that Digital Homicide (developer) is suing Jim Sterling? Hilarious.

No I haven't, but that's unsurprising really. He absolutely kills them in his videos - with good reason, in fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, their stuff is utter *****. The only good thing to come out of Digital Homicide and this feud is the phrase "I'm Jim ******* Sterling son".
