Game of the Generation.
My most played game this gen by far.
I love it. Will never stop playing Rocket League! Best, most satisfying competitive multiplayer gameplay Ive ever experienced, including Halo series.

I'm glad it took off. I remember hearing about it for the first time when it came out obviously 4 years ago now and while it never stuck with me it's a very fun game and I enjoy the RLCS immensely.
Are they celebrating this occassion with an ingame event?

I don't even do multiplayer games but I do this one. It keeps things simple, it's fun and it never gets old. Love it.
They've still got the 80s Summer event going on at the moment. And I'm sick to death of hearing Kenny Loggins as a result.
Echoing people saying it's one of the games of the generation. When we get these lists and everyone talks about The Witcher 3, God of War and other grim, cinematic third person action games, I always feel like Rocket League is unfairly forgotten about. It came out of nowhere this gen and just became absolutely huge. Its launched on every platform more or less and it's been a ginormous success everywhere.
I get why this game is great and I'm having tons of fun with it, but rarely did I feel that I suck that much at a game. After nearly 30 hours, touching the ball when it's in the air is still mostly luck as far as I'm concerned.
It's in my top 10 games of all time. I unfortunately have an addiction to playing it. It's also one of those games where it's always fun for me, even when losing.
30 hours is scratching the surface, I'm hundreds of hours in any getting better every day
hahaha ok mate I'll keep in grinding. For me, 30 hours is already quite a lot !
PS+ made me an instant fan, and I now own it on PC.
I've put in hundreds of hours, and it's my all-time favorite sports game.

I remember when I saw this game and videos I always mocked it and thought nah that's definitely not for me. Then last year I started playing it with my brother and now I already clocked in 260 hours which is really a lot for me considering how little time I have. Fantastic game with so much sensations. It reminds me a bit of Tribe which also gave great sensations with the hovering, jumping, sliding etc. It's really a 'gameplay first' game.
One game I can never improve on for some reason 4 years on I suck at it but still try play it time to time.. offline
Easily the game of the generation for me. Two friends and I have played it consistently for all four years and have shared some of our favorite gaming moments together with it. All other multiplayer games we like to plat non competitive co-op, but we still love playing ranked matches of 3v3 every week.
This last year I have even begun keeping a paper ledger of our matches for the night. Just goal tally for us each and our win/loss, score line for each match. It is fun to see how we trend and have a good summary of how we played at the end of the night.
I think it might be in my top 5 all time favorite games.

"Older" in that it was a sequel to this PS3-exclusive, PSN-only game from 2008, also made by Psyonix:
One big problem w/ the original was the extra crap in the middle of many of its arenas (obstacles, divots, ramps). Rocket League kept almost exactly the same mechanics and boost system, then got rid of the extra crap. It's insane how long they plugged away at this formula.
So, happy "fourth" birthday!
It was a wild ride with everyone discovering it in 2015. I remember trying to convince friends to try the beta for the sequel to super sonic rocketed powered cars and they were like WTF.
Now they're owned by epic and one of the biggest games ever. Love the game still and can pick it up anytime
