Overrated! These 5 million downloads are just because it was on PS+, has cars, has a ball, has online multiplayer, has split screen co-op, has offline modes, has customization, has PC/PS4 cross-play....
It's just an indie game after all...

And being an indie game makes it overrated? XDDDD.

OT, I think that the word of mouth and the game being free in PS+ are the main reasons they achieve 5M. And I'm glad because the game is actually very good. Shame I had to ask for a refund, the game just doesn't work in my PC :(

Well deserved, it's a fantastic game.



Hmm, pie.

I'm gonna make a game put it out for free and see if it get's 4.5million downloads of PS4, become number 1 on steam sales charts and causes most big youtube users to make videos on garnering lots of popularity not because of how fun it is but just because it's free.

The downplay is real.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Wiiu owners are downplaying it because they are no longer the only ones having while gaming



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I don't think Nintendo fans care for games like this.

I'm about as excited to play this game as I am excited to play Metroid Prime: Federation Force.

I wouldn't be surprised for Sony to announce that Rocket League actually helped to shift PS4s.

I wouldn't go that far. I would say it was the perfect storm for Psyonix.

There aren't that many standout games in July, so people get a bit desperate to find new games to play in dead months. A game that most people never heard of comes out and surprises. I was rather annoyed that the game was given so little coverage and/or reviews from games media the week the game was released. They just prioritized other games like GoW3: Remastered, Rory McIlroy PGA 2015, and Godzilla for whatever bloody reason. We got some a week or 2 weeks later (I'm looking at you Polygon, for publishing your review of Rocket League 2 weeks after release). Oh, and popular gaming channels were late on the bandwagon (although there were some that published videos right away like Northernlion, Gassymexican, Ohmwrecker, etc)

I'm not going as far as saying I'm 'definite' but like I said 'I wouldn't be surprised'.

You don't think Nintendo fans care for games like what? Games that garner their praise from fun, addictive gameplay and an attractive artstyle? This type of game is what Nintendo does best. Plus, it's so, so, so, so, good. Anyone who hasn't at least tried it is missing out.

Rocket League has crossplay, you have downplay.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
