Rocket League, Resident Evil 6, Kotor 2

This has been me the past week. Image thanks to Kotaku.

Rocket League
  • I've put in about 15 hours this week, I just can't stop playing. I'm level 19 on Steam and 13 on PS4.
  • I've started working on my aerial play which looks cool but is also very useful. The goals are just tall enough that a double jump is not enough to block the ball shot at the top of the goal so you must go aerial to block them. Also you can turn your car completely vertical which maximizes the hit radius of the car which makes shots and blocking a bit easier.
  • I played a great 1v1 match that had the other guy cussing me after my second goal. What is wrong with people.
  • I think I'm starting to favor 2v2 matches which ups the tension just enough and gives more opportunities to make some great saves and shots without feeling too crowded.
  • The only bad thing about the game is that there is no punishment for quitting a match which happens far to often. The game will sub an AI character automatically so there is no stop in play but there should be some punishment for quitting after a score. It should be something like you can't start another match for 5 minutes but the game is using dedicated servers which would probably be hard to code.
  • Another small gripe, again with people not the game, is that after the match there is a 60 second countdown where you ca n ready up to play again if everyone clicks ready it will instantly start the game, but for some reason there are a ton of jerks out there that will let the counter run down to around 5 seconds before hitting the button. I know they are jerks because almost 95% of the time they are on the team that lost.
Resident Evil 6​​
  • I am playing one other game and that is RE6 co-op with Angel. ​
  • I tried playing solo when it came out but never got very far. The game is much better when playing co-op which make sense since it was developed with that in mind.
  • ​The game is interesting as you play 4 different episodes each with there own 2 characters. ​Each episode has 4 chapters and you will meet the other characters along the way. We are only playing the first 2 chapters of each episode which makes the game feel a bit like a soap opera, it's nice to see how all the stories are interacting with one another.
  • ​The game is more of a 3rd person shooter than the classic survival horror of the first 3 games. As always there are some cool monsters to fight and some of the boss monsters are huge. The game is pretty tough as well I think in one chapter one of us died 7 times, notice I didn't mention names.
  • ​Knights of the old Republic 2​ or KOTOR 2
  • It has been 10 years since the release and it just got updated on steam with widescreen, controller, and steam workshop support. Now you can easily add the mod that enabled all of the content left out of the original game.
  • Disney is doing the Star Wars properties right so far and hopefully they will release a new or updated version of Tie Fighter or X-wing. We can only hope.
New Releases​ - Not many to choose from this week except for the PS4. Journey is out on the PS4 and if you never played it on the PS3 you should rectify that soon. Also if you love pigeons you should check out ​Hatoful Boyfriend​. ​
