Yes, this is exactly how kids work. You tell them not to do something, and then they never do it.

The new map looks amazeballs, it's got such a classic cthulhu/horror vibe to it. It's just sad that due to licensing the map will be gone forever when the event ends.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI hated the voice acting .... tried it voiced and just noped out of there fast.
Wow, I can't believe how many here have expressed dislike for that. Personally I love it. I originally played it without voice, but replayed it with voice a decade or so later and loved it, I thought it really elevated the game to a new height. Especially the acerbic and sarcastic joey, who had zero fucks to give =)

Quoting: HadBabitsmeaning they directly affect gameplay in a multiplayer game
This is not really correct. The way the game works is there are 5 different 'presets', this is what differentiates cars in terms of hitbox, turn radius and all that. The game has cars for each preset among the basic selection, and any new car that comes out has to be one of these five presets. So it's not the case where you need to pay to have access to any particular preset.

Hell you often don't need to pay anything to get access to most cars that come from crates either, because you can just use the crates you've collected yourself, and trade several of those for a car, or anything you want, providing you find someone to trade with.

Quoting: dpanterAlso, why
Because of how physics dependent rocket league is and extremely sensitive to input lag because of it, it always helps to have the most recent frames presented to you.
