Rocket League crate system

How does this make you feel, Sup Forums? I feel kinda betrayed desu. This is my favorite game at the moment and I didn't mind paid cosmetic only dlcs as you got exactly what you paid for. But I feel like introducing this crate system cancer on top of dlcs is a jew move.

>Items can be received for free
>People who are interested in speeding the process up can pay money for unimportant items that go on top of virtual soccer cars


>"I feel kinda betrayed Dxxxx"

No, you're trying desperately to find a reason to hate DLC for the sake of it being DLC. I personally don't blame them, and think this is the best way to implement DLC considering the most popular DLC implementation right now is to Season Pass the fuck out of your game or sell bonus maps.

Instead, they're making maps for free and using optional virtual car accessories to fund the development.

at least read the damn op before you decide to spread bullshit.

Also it's not a fucking dlc. It's a slot machine. It's gambling. When you buy the dlc you now what you pay for. However you have no way of knowing what you'll open from those crates.Can't believe how dumb you are. Or maybe you deepthroated psyonix's cock so hard you can't think straight anymore.

>Got game for free from PS+
>play hundreds of hours so I feel devs deserve my money
>buy all DLC cars I like
>still haven't spent over $10 on this game yet
>want more goofy toppers and cosmetics
>spend another $10 in crates

This kinda thing only bothers NEETs
I'm even considering getting the physical collectors edition.

Congratulations, you've been successfully conditioned by publishers to both accept and even defend the selling of paid DLC that consists of content that could just as easily and used to be part of the game you already paid for.

This. Fucking normies, man...

things like this increase the longevity of a games active life

look at TF2, CSGO, etc etc

Then...don't buy it.

What's the point? Literally the ONLY people that lose are morons too stupid to not buy it. You'd suffer MORE if there weren't idiots buying this shit. Then they'd charge you for real shit or make the game Pay to Win.

Toppers are ugly distractions that fuck up your game.

Also what he said Game development isn't free. They've tried multiple ways of getting people to fund further development. Now they're trying this.

It's cosmetic shit who cares?

The developer has released all the maps for free, new modes for free and the only thing that costs money are cool cars that play identical to each other.

If they wanna sell some funny hats who gives a shit?

t. Psyonix employee

Psyonix could punch me in the dong and I'd still worship their excrement because I'm in love with their dumb ass car soccer game for mankids.

Fuck them then. Don't do it if the only way is to ruin your game and turning it into hat simulator 2.0.

I also have a hard time believing one of the most popular and successful indie games out there at the moment is having trouble getting funding for more content. Sony will prop NMS up with millions but won't throw a bone an existing and already successful game?

Crates should never be in a pay to play game. Simple. Expect worse in the future.

>hats ruin the game.

Clam down autist.

Nope just like the game and I haven't spent a penny on it.

If flashy hats trigger you so much play something else

As long as those who pay for items don't get an advantage I don't care

You can still get items by playing and this way they get money from retards.
It literally has no effect on you

>but this is just the first step towards judaism

I will get mad as soon as they actually shit up the game but it's stupid to get angry when there isn't something to get angry about

Can't you just click the button to turn those off anyway

So - going by your logic - when you buy a car you don't care about the paint job or any of the aesthetics aspects of your car. The only thing that matters is that it gets you from point A to point B.

basically this. I would've been fine by paying even 30 or 40$. Just don't go full jewmode on your consumer after 1 year. I get what says. I absolutely love this game but at the same time I'm not a fucking idiot and know when I'm being milked.

I got the DeLorean skin. That's literally all I care about. I couldn't give less of a shit about any other microtransactions.

>. I absolutely love this game but at the same time I'm not a fucking idiot and know when I'm being milked.
But it offers no advantage

You aren't forced to use them to be competitive. They don't change anything.

This is going to replace random drops? Are there going to be crate-exclusive items? If not, why should I care?

it's still part of the game which I paid for. I'm not against these items. In fact, I love them (mainly rocket trails, I don't really care about toppers) but the crate system is pure cancer. Just update the game with a market and fill it up with items you can buy for money. I pay for the items I want and they also get money. Everyone wins.

>cool cars that play identical to each other.
nope, each car has different hitboxes and turning radius

That describes what they did though. You've just changed the word crate to market.

while true, its not like the top 100 is pure batmobiles. people usually pick a car and stick with it. if the advantage was significant you'd see it represented through player choice.

Am I being trolled? U even been to a market before? Do you get random stuff when you pay the salesman x amount of money?

The difference between market and crate is that you can buy the exact item you want, opposed to the crates which would involve luck in getting your desired item.

A shame that the batmobile has shit tier sounds, it looked legitimately cool

It's a stupid business practice that deteriorates the quality of a game
See: OW, CoD, Payday 2

The delorean probably has the best animation in the entire game

>Jump
>Boost
>Wheels rotate in and change to horizontal orientation like in Back to the Future

Its so slick

i dont like it
ive always thought the game can use more cosmetic items, but this is clearly just a rip off of trying to copy csgo's system

rocket league is such a fun casual game that has a nice dose of competition to it. i wish they would keep it like that instead of making a dumb trade system and trying to force a pro scene for the game. as much as i love rocket league, i hope this fails horribly. it just seems like a cheap cop out to try to build a bigger player base.

>build a bigger player base.
I was arguing with someone the other night and checked up on that.

There were 1 million players online in the last week and they've had something like 7 million sales.

I don't think they're worried about playerbase.

Actually didn't know this one. Neat detail

you never stop getting greedy

Except it doesn't do shit but make your opponents, should they be retarded enough to buy this ugly shit, to look like retards.

This isn't some TF2 faggotry, where they fucked up the original TF game in order to attract casuals. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars was improved with Rocket League.

They may be greedy, but fuck it, I'm willing to allow the sacrifice of a retards money to go into their pockets.

I don't think they are worried about the playerbase. There are 100,000+ players online at any given time. They see a lot of people say they want more cosmetics and this is the system they are going with to try and copy TF2 and CS:GO. I wouldn't be surprised if Valve pushed them to make this decision. With all the free stuff Psyonix gives to the players, it's uncharacteristic for them to implement a system like this.

>it's uncharacteristic for them to implement a system like this.
how many dlc packs are there now like 5? 6? theres more new cars dlc than the cost of the base game

Can't blame Psyonix for jumping on the microtransaction train. They said those crates will contain painted items mostly and will not replace random drops in any form so they do care about us.

How many free cosmetic items are there? 200+?

Its not gambling. You're spending on a slot machine where the reward has no value.

Stop bitching OP, this will help fund prize pools and development.

I have no idea. However the cars offer different capabilities than the base game cars so they are not cosmetics, and whether there are a million free cosmetics or 0, it doesn't have anything to do with my post.

They have always tried to find the best way to monetize their game. It is very characteristic.

It's literally a donate button because Valve are jews to implement one into Steam. You get the same items you'd unlock normally, and they refuse to let you sell them on the marketplace.
This board is literally shitting itself to be contrarian fucking hipsters.

>Thinking other cars matter

kek

I don't but they do have different stats so you can't say they're cosmetic.

I don't know why they have gone this way. Almost everyone who plays has some DLC already. So they're making gorillian dollars daily.

I couldn't give two shits about cosmetic skins, I never bought any of the DLCs anyway, so I guess this doesn't affect me at all.

>It's gambling.
Okay, you're retarded, I get it now.

>Gambling was recently in the news so now everything is gambling
Children on Sup Forums

Fun thing is, almost every time I see someone with DLC cars or the Gizmo, they're bonafide retards.

It makes me feel good knowing that Universal approached Psyonix to make the Delorean. It really shows the success of the company

I did not know that. I was a little surprised at how they got the licensing to do that.

samefag

what do you call a slot machine then, faggot? Wise and legit financial investment? kek.

So what's the best DLC? I was pretty sold on the Batmobile but then I heard that hideous sound.

Well, the thing with slots is that the only thing you get is an immediate rush of hope usually followed by the frustration of not winning.

DLC at least gives you something of 'lasting' (until the game is shut down) value. It's gashapon-like, sure, but there's SOMETHING gained in the process. Comparing it to slots is kind of silly.
