      But if you have one person that carries the team to the win it should be rewarded appropriately.

        The way it should be set up is:

        In any of the ranked Playlist that you can go into as a group it should be a team effort.

        The Playlist that you can join in only by yourself should be what you did with a win just being a bonus.

        For example solo standard (3v3) should be more of a individual ranking while team standard (3v3) should be more team effort rating.

            Re: Rocket League

            So basically the only reason this game is getting any acclaim is because it's free?

            I haven't played it lol and probably won't because I don't like the fact all the PS4 games are indie but this game started booming after it was released for free. Cool marketing.

              Kronovi is just in a league of his own.

              Also, I don't get why skip a game just because it didn't have a AAA budget? If a game is fun, **** it, it's fun. Being free helped the game gain exposure, but all the SARPBC vets were getting it and everyone who played the alphas/betas were getting it. This game's marketing was essentially just through word of mouth.

                It might be fun but I skipped it because it's not something I would buy personally.

                Not because it doesn't have an AAA budget. Although the 50/60 a year we spend isn't being used to give us more popular games, I have OlliOlli 2 and Strider (not sure if Strider would be considered AAA) and some other games that aren't AAA. I just don't see the fun in this personally.

                My main point was people are only playing it because it's free, not because they've always wanted to play it. There are some games that aren't well known that I've wanted to play and PS4 made them free games, but I'm just tired of feeling like I'm not getting my subscription price worth month after month. Just my opinion.

                  I am playing it because it is a ton of fun. I watched videos and read opinions from people in the beta and was ready to spend $20 on it. The fact that it was free was just icing on the cake. It has a larger audience because of it being free (no argument there) but people are playing it because they enjoy it. On a side note: I don't understand why you are going to a rocket league thread to complain about the PSN monthly games.

                  Edit: I didn't see mike noobs comments under the video until after I posted but apparently we are thinking the same thing.

                    It's fairly large on PC where they have to put down $20 I think, similar to what non-PS+ users would pay (and the masses after July).

                    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                      I'd eat those words quickly. This was still going to be a $20 title and word of mouth started way back at CES in January, then boomed after the beta came out.

                      However, like you I too am curious why the PS3 version didn't get its acclaim. Most people though need to justify their purchases through hours played, and given that this is a free title and I have probably already logged more than 30 hours into it (while others have probably logged 100+), I'd say it's well worth the free bill, $20 bill, or three Jackson's like any other title out there. I know many people here who would have paid $60 for it easily.

                      Give it a try, and let us know when you're online. It's a blast playing with other OS'ers.

                        It's doing really well on Steam 3 weeks in, with the user base growing, not declining as it sits at #1 on the sales charts at $19.99.

                          That's pretty much the response of everybody who hasn't played it.

                          Before: Meh, what's the big deal?

                          After: Why can't I stop playing this game?

                          Good luck with the "I'm not playing it because everything is indie" mind set. You're doing yourself a disfavor.

                          Seriously just give it a half hour with some OSers and you'll change your tune I'd bet.

                                I'm not sure how you think the game is a success only because it was free. There are plenty of free games every month that died out in just a week, secret ponchos for example.

                                This game has been consistently getting 100k players on each day. Yeah, I think people are playing this game because it's fun and not just because it was free.
