Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo

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. I still wouldn’t count it out entirely though.
