Puffnplay - Rocket League. The best nonkilling PVP esport game available

in #gaming7 years ago

I have always enjoyed PVP games. Killing my friends. Or being in a squad with my friends and killing everyone else. Just competing basically. Competition is ingrained into me. Video games are the good, healthy way for me to get it all out. I used to play Halo 2 too much, then Black Ops 2 too much. I was always killing other people, killing in this game or killing in that game. Even the few MMO's I played centered around endgame battles.

Enter Rocket League



A game where I don't have to kill other people. It's still a competition, I'm still playing to win. But with no guns, and no murder. Just rocket powered cars in an arena with a giant soccer ball!!

In about 550 wins I was the MVP 212 times which is pretty good odds if I say so myself.

It only took me 2 days and 7 hours of playtime to get where I am haha!!


When I first started playing this game just positioning myself to hit the ball was a chore, it was still fun. I didn't realize how bad I was since I was playing with other people nearly as bad as me. Eventually I learned the rotation a team needs to have, how to fly and hit the ball, how ride up walls and jump off to hit the ball. How to win pinches. the 3 different kinds of jumping and flying. There is really a lot to this game that you never would think about.

As it is I sit somewhere in the middle average of rocket league players. I am a platinum 2 in most ranked competitive game types. Which are 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 3 vs 3 solo. Unranked games can be regular soccer, or hockey, basketball, or dropshot, and even a special power up mode type game. (A bad video of me playing dropshot can be found below, my computer isn't good enough to copy directly from it, so I improvised. One day soon my PC will be better and I will be able to share better videos!)

There is no pay to win aspect of this game though you can get keys and crates with special skins and rocket trails. Just for looks. They are going to be adding special goal explosion animations at the end of this season, which is on the 5th of next month. Its an easy game to have fun playing and a HARD game to master! Once you do finally get to the top of the arena and hit the ball while flying, it's thrilling. Like landing a skateboard trick for the first time.



I'm the green car on the blue team
The goal of this game is to charge up the ball by hitting it and break the floor on the opponent teams side, and then to get the ball into the created hole for a goal. Unranked drop shot

Game is currently priced at $19.99 but its 50% off ($11.99) for the Steam Summer Sale!


I strongly recommend trying this game. The physics in it are unimaginably fun, even if you don't become a great player, there are still hours of fun to be had. Add me on Steam. I'm drpuffnstuff. Let's play some rockets!

Upvote, Resteem. Comment below telling me what you think of Rocket League or just what you think period :) . Sorry my video was bad. I will work on that and make better ones in the near future.

Off to play a few rounds,

If you haven't already you should head over to some of my posts @drpuffnstuff . We will be holding some gaming tournaments VERY soon and Rocket League looks like a community favorite!

You should check out Echo Arena if you have or want to get VR. It's the like the rocket league of the future, takes place in a zero g environment, like zero G hockey =)

I will look into it. I have a PS4 pro but I'm not too sure about their VR yet.. do you like it? Or are you using different vr?

I have an oculus rift for PC. Unfortunately I don't think Echo Arena will be coming to PSVR, but I heard good things about PSVR and some of the games for it.

i like playing games !

I used to spend HOURS on this game...so addictive. Downloaded per my brother's recommendation and it was on!

Why no more haha?

finally got my NES Classic....nostalgia has had a grip for a while
