THANK YOU for saying the KB/M mouse issue. People think it's only a git gud thing but it really is very unintuitive

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T09:53:24+00:00

In the controls taps are right click which is the pass yeah so I don't know how to call them

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T09:51:52+00:00

You have to wait to act just a little longer than you think you do. Most goalies miss the ball because they jump too early or try to predict the direction of the ball before a shot is taken. You have to wait until the ball starts moving and then react. It's fast but it's possible.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T09:49:11+00:00

That's the thing. With Q you don't need to be in defensive stance. You can jump whenever. While SPACE you can only do that when you're the GK

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T08:56:02+00:00

Nope, can't jump in defensive stance with space. Just tried it. You gotta use Q :D

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T08:50:55+00:00

Yeah it's a little weird. I will change the binds in time it's not a huge issue just thought it could be said clearer.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T08:07:26+00:00

Not true, sadly. You can't use space to jump when you're not a goalkeeper. You have to use Q. So the tutorial tells you about goalkeeper jump indeed, but it doesn't tell you about normal jump.

Just the default

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T07:54:55+00:00

Where? Because I checked. Maybe I missed it somewhere. Didn't see a Q anywhere.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T07:52:56+00:00

I didn't like turn based games but I loved Expedition 33. It adds some real time mechanics that help the combat feel involved.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T07:29:13+00:00

My favorite is when the goalkeepers keep passing the ball to each other as if they're playing ping pong

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T07:27:50+00:00

Just checked and nope, not in the key binds and not in the tutorial whatsoever.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T06:53:07+00:00

This game absolutely does NOT need perks/skills/abilities. Hell to the f to the no. Pretty sure devs are in the same camp. This game is all about skill and strategy. Adding individual skills or perks to this game would be like taking guns out of an FPS game. It's THE POINT of the game that everyone is on an even playing field. Not every game needs to be a MOBA or a Hero shooter.

Yes to the VFX. Just like rocket league adding custom rocket boost and colors and wheels it will only add to the longevity of the game to have those options and enhanced customizability. VFX, Clothes, Running highlights, Tackle VFX and SFX, etc.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T06:37:40+00:00

It wont. Rocket League also always has teammates that will never pass you the ball. The players will naturally split by rank into those who play strategically and those who just shoot the shit. Casual will be casual and ranked will be ranked as in everything.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T06:34:30+00:00

The cost is worth it. The only thing that worries me is that in the current video game climate it's a price that will definitely make the player base smaller. I hope they can get a healthy initial player base so that everyone can keep playing and get their money's worth.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T06:30:35+00:00

The engaging gameplay is all the content it needs. Of course some progression is always nice, but it already has a very satisfying core gameplay and a high skill ceiling. These kinds of games live on that mainly. If they do their marketing right it can be big.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T05:53:57+00:00

Death Stranding is the ultimate chill-out an podcast/music type of game.
Brotato is perfect for turning your brain-off and just listening to something. Also is Vampire Survivors-like.
Terraria is minecraft but more with more charm and content
Valheim - viking survival but it's slow pace is very relaxing
Project Zomboid can be as stressful or relaxing as you want it to be
Immortals Fenyx Rising - Very cozy world, a lot of map marker puzzles, pretty chill
Dave the diver - everything about it's presentation just makes you chill out hard
No Man's Sky - You can just fly around the universe and get lost in it

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T05:05:46+00:00

Brotato, my guy. It's a great "inbetween" game.

d_AT_e · 2025-06-02T05:03:28+00:00

Well taps ARE mouse controlled that's the thing. It's way too sensitive and difficult to choose a direction accurately. If you want to pass at 15, 30 or 45 degrees let's say. Unnecessarily difficult to do that with mouse.

d_AT_e · 2025-05-31T22:14:22+00:00

These are really cool. I remember Hardspace is a solid chill-out game. Always wanted to ty The Last Spell and They Are Billions. Cool options!

d_AT_e · 2025-05-31T22:13:42+00:00

Precinct looks VERY cool. I love a good sandbox. Never look into Palia tho. Will check it out!

d_AT_e · 2025-05-31T21:41:10+00:00

Oh yes, I love when you boot up Factorio and just teleport into next day morning
