Calculated!
WOW!
$#@%!
heard alot about it, might give it a go as long as it doesn't take all weekend to download
It's about 2 gigabytes
5.2GB
Confirming from an NBN 100mbit 5.2gb took me just under 8 mins to grab :)
@AlienC: You might as well:
- fly to Brisbane (1.5 hours)
- copy the game files from Gomo (5 minutes)
- play a few 1v1 games with Gomo (2 hours)
- beat up Gomo for being a dirty cheater (10 minutes)
- fly back to Sydney (1.5 hours)
All in all it would only take 5 hours and 15 minutes, less than the 6 hours estimated for you to download it yourself.
@ChillBro: Great story mate! loved every bit of detail! :D have a fantastic weekend bro! :D and @alienC I look forward to your visit! :P
Rocket League, you've taken more than 400 hours of my life. I love you and I hate you!
If you've never played before, this review(steamcommunity.com) sums things up perfectly.
I'm currently Master rank, but unfortunately I fit into the description of Veteran but combined with the 'You're not good enough for ___' from Legend/Rocketeer's description (although it's usually in the form of 'Aren't you Master?' / 'You're pretty shit for Master rank')…
Still better than PSYNET trash though ;)
Those ranks literally mean nothing though. What's your real competitive rank?
Yeah, I know they mean nothing; they're a measure of how much you've played, not how good you are. Still doesn't stop comments from random teammates in casual.
@spaghettiman: Nah, the comments don't really bother me (besides, I usually do better than those commenting anyway). Only shows how salty the other players are; it's casual ffs.
@CarbonTwelve: I'm Rocketeer and in Gold 2 div 2 (<—- this is actually the 5th plane of Hell) and I get comments daily about how I'm the worst Rocketeer in the history of the game. LOL
400 hours? You must be new here.. But seriously, this game is fantastic, best 12 bucks I ever spent.
30% off most DLC too!
OP should add this to Desc, thanks spaghettiman :)!

For some reason my rocket league downloaded from the xbox one free weekend multi-player a few months back still works. I've never bought the game, and I can still open the game and play.
At least buy some DLC or keys to give something to Psyonix. They deserve it.
I should, it's a really addictive game
See you noobs on the pitch!
Them's fightin' werds, moite.
This is the best game I've ever played, it's the best! I'm not really a gamer, but I was obsessed with this game for a while!
This game is great! Very non-commital so easy to fit into a busy lifestyle :P
Under 10 minutes a game, it's great to just play for 30min a day if that's all you have time for.
ill be hitting 2000 hours on this game tonight.
could say i got my monies worth. great fun game. every friend that i have got into the game has been hooked.
I might try it out. Been wanting to buy it but its not at its historical low. Ill wait until the next Steam sale to pick it up but might try it out in the meantime. Whats the learning curve like withthe Steam Controller?
If I could give all new players 1 tip…TURN CAMERA SHAKE OFF
Alright. Its downloading now. Ill have a crack and see how we go.
You'll have a great time :)
Change the default controls early as the default controls are terrible.
@Piranha2004: I use an X360 controller. The default for that is bad as there's some controls you can't hit at the same time which you need to. I'm sure there's a good layout for the steam controller available.
It's also worth changing all your camera settings to something that suits you.
Wicked. I've been playing this on PS4 since it was in the PS+ monthly bundle. Keen to see how it plays on PC.
Incredibly addictive game!
I wish they'd introduce new power ups though.
Yeah, I've played a few games and I feel like if there were more power ups there would be more room for counterplay.
so you get to keep the game?
No, of course not.
Wow, so you just download 5 gigabytes for one weekend?
Yes. Same for free weekends or weeks for other games.
I'm about to start a game feel free to join :)
Group: ozBargain
Pass: pro
— Edit, no one joined :( oh well maybe another time, if anyone has any suggestions on how we should get a group to play ? :)
Is a controller a necessity in this game, will you get dumpstered with Keyboard+Mouse controls?
It's not a necessity, but it's definitely considered an easier way to play. Most pros will use controllers (but some will even use KBM). It's all on personal preference.
You won't get dumpstered - the controller just allows for far finer control. KB/M allows for only max rate of turn/acceleration etc since the button is off/on only, whereas the controller's thumbsticks and L/R triggers allow you to vary your rate of turn or acceleration with gradual input. Particularly this makes aerial play easier, but impacts most aspects.
For this reason it's mostly recommended to pick up a controller early on if you intend to pick one up at all, as the way you play the game changes and you'd have to relearn a bit when switching.
By no means is it required though, it's a bit more difficult with the limitations but it's certainly possible to be good with KB/M. No harm in seeing if you like the game enough to pick a controller up, you'll be just fine while starting on KB/M or even forever like some people.
This is a-whole-nother level of hectic on PC. Please somebody tell me if I can reduce input lag from Xbox to get closer to the PC version. Is it a TV thing or console limitation? I am level 52 on Xbox and on steam I am making all kinds of aerial moves that I dare not make on the Xbox, flipping before I've even registered that I've pressed the button a second time..
I'd play on Steam but I have to run the worst possible quality settings with Intel 520 graphics :(
Input lag from TV. Gaming mode? Disable sync?
Yeah I've tried game mode, it just seems to disable noise reduction and smooth motion. No idea what sync is, maybe my TV is just garbage.
Sorry I meant vsync. Not sure if that's a video option on RL xbox but disabling vsync in games helps the input lag.
@spaghettiman: Wow, can't believe I hadn't seen that before.. I just assumed that it would have been optimised for the system. Also discovered I can turn off rain which kept lagging me on one map. Not quite at PC levels of responsiveness but feels better already. Neat! Thank you.
@AngryAlfred: Yep it's insane. I played on console on TV and was stuck in challenger 1-3 in season 3. Played on PC and got to superstar hahaha
For anyone that wants to play with me or enjoy some tournaments that I run (cash prizes $150 USD+ crate keys) feel free to jump on our Discord: https://discord.gg/zpHsx6D
Get to play with the current Top 15 and Top 100 Rocket League Oceania players (this sounds more and more like an advertisement as I type it). But seriously it'd be great to play with some OzBargain people! Tuttorix Kesqra is my Steam if anyone is keen.
Why didnt anyone think of this before? The theme seems so trivial that it could have been played on any generation console.

Best game I've played in a long time. I don't do much gaming though.
