First and foremost it's bold to put this out before Drag x Drive releases which is just weird enough to become its own thing. Second, even the owner Epic doesn't even seem to know what to do with Rocket League because they seem to be trying to make it part of Fortnite. Thirdly, esports are everywhere, sorry not all of them look like legacy sports but that's not a problem for people playing the games
This has to be rage bait
That's cute.
Look man, as someone who thought Switch 2 mouse controls were a gimmick and has sunk 17 hours into Civ VII, I don't feel confident enough to tell all these people that they are wrong. If I had been in college and was told people could get scholarships for NASCAR Soccer I would have laughed in your face. Being that cocky is asking to be wrong
I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I would put good money on this being closer to Excite Truck in the public consciousness a few years from now rather than one of the most successful games of all time. So no, it's not bold to think that Drag X Drive isn't going to supplant Rocket League.
It doesn’t help that Nintendo seems to actively hinder competitive play in their games. It’s not starting from a winning position, but I wouldn’t count it out entirely.
My partner and I had a lot of fun playing RL back when it released. We both purchased it. Toxicity in matches grew exponentially soon after and she was the first to eventually get tired of it's chat, players scoring against their team, and so on. We both stopped playing and then it's dev studio was sold to Epic Games and the EGS account requirement was that last little push we needed to know we wouldn't play it ever again. Still, we share some very good memories of that game. I'd say it was worth the purchase.
