Now, I have had the game for almost a year; and now I think is the time to decide Rocket League's fate... There are many things that Rocket League is good at, and others not so much. Psyonix did a great job with game experience, graphics, and not so much the Compet. system (in some ways more than others)

Rocket league has a fenominal experience... A great theme song to launch the game, and the vibe gives you excitement, you're ready to play the game... But hold your horses! You need to first learn how to play! (All though it could be improved) It's great, lets you learn the basic controls and get a grasp on what you're playing. An exciting game, and very competitive, and aggresive if you let it. You can be pretty much anyone you want to be in the game, to an extent, be a Merc, blowing everyone up, or be in the New Type-S and do Freestyle dribble goals rocking your certified Parylax Mystery Decal. It's rewarding, especially when it takes nearly a year fo ryou to get to Rising Star. You get so pumped when you know you've made it all worth the wait, hard work, and endlessly farming XP to gloat you're a higher level than them... And all of this... 580.7 hours on a Blue Star. Maybe a Season 2 Rocket Trail or two, but seriously? We've become blind from the fact that we spend all of our time... staring into an screen. Just 5 more minutes... Always the same thing...

And what else could add to the already unbelieveable amount of detail and finishing touches? Graphics. They are astonishingly good for what this game is. I have never experienced any glitches or faults in the textures, and there are very little ways to screw up the game. This game is VERY well built, and practically troll-proof other than Just messing around by blowing others up into flames, or just trolling the goal hog who keeps saving all of your air dribbles. I have yet to experience any glitches like going thorugh the wall above the goal like others have, but it seems very hard to do, and I'm sure has been patched. They have been pushing out new content constantly, and are like a well-oiled machine. They never stop. New decals here, New Crates there, and a whole new trading system everywhere. Cross-network integration is seemless, Other than communication, sadly. Psyonix have done an EXELENT job and I would have been missing out if I had missed this when it got popular! (But missed Alpha items) Sadly.

Though, there are tons of things I LOVE about this game, there are a select few I don't. One of those is part of the competitive system. But before we hate on psyonix, lets thing positively. Servers are rarely down, matchmaking is always getting improved, and Rage Quiters get what the deserve. But these are the good things, and the only bad thing is about Internet. and Power outages, Lost connection, or bad ping. All of these are counted against you, immediately ranking down one division. This sucks. A lot. Especially with my spotty Internet, It's gone down and back up 9 times in the past 2 hours, and have to wait until Sunday. Luckily, I was able to rejoin the game most of the time. a couple times I got disconnected and divisioned down. And eventually after the 3rd disconnect, I lost my rising star rank and spent the next 2 hours (after a motum restart which seemed to temporarily fix the problem) I spent trying to rank up to rising star again, not knowing when season 3 ends. I know Psyonix can't do much about this as I'd rather get punished for something I did not deserve than a quiter not getting what they deserve.

Overall, a FANTASTIC game, great everything from support, to forums. They have great gameplay and community, graphics and cross-play is seemless. I give this game easily a 10/10. Even it has some negatives, There are no games in the world of 7.4 billion people that could exist. Nothing is perfect, and as soon as you realize that, the better.

just over 3 months later, and I'm reaching 1,000 hours! I cannot believe it! But slowly I'll become more and more less active around here. Exams are coming up (next week) and I also have recently been hired for a paid Internship, so sadly I won't be as active in the community. But have fun to all those gamers, and some day may I join you!
