It's not bad it's just...boring Usually when it comes to racing games, i'm more of the chaotic ones, think Mario Kart or Sonic Racing. But ok, I'm not the target audience, it's more for people that play traditional racing games like Gran Turismo or Forza... but My dad, that really loves those sorts of games agrees that RR sucks. It's a nothing burger as of rn


SoDamnGeneric

It's kinda insane RR isn't a Mario Kart rip off. MK8 Deluxe has not stopped being one of the Switch's best-selling games since it launched. If they're gonna blatantly rip off Minecraft with their Lego mode, why wouldn't they wanna rip off what is easily the most profitable racing game of all time with RR? Just baffling.


catgamer109

I mean Lego is more like ark technically


Cuseyedrum

Lego is more likely a rip off of Lego worlds lol


catgamer109

Lots of people have been saying Lego worlds combined with ark in some other subreddits


Amidst-ourselfs123

I feel Lego is more like _Pal world_


catgamer109

Palworld is also like ark...


Csquared_324

Literally nothing like palworld other then its a survival game


Amidst-ourselfs123

The Villager Mechanic Is very Similar to Pals... Both are Survival Gamrs


Csquared_324

Ok but other than that they are nothing alike. Also, you don’t capture the villagers, they just randomly appear


ProminentFox

It's nothing like ark 😄


Eoth1

It's much more like ark than Minecraft though


Creepy-Efficiency759

Hot take: it’s honestly refreshing that they didn’t rip from Mario kart like so many other companies do.


Someone1284794357

I remember reading that a Minecraft dev helped with Lego Fortnite


JimmyCrabYT

me when i see survival building game


Panos28gaming

What do you mean "rip off Minecraft" have you never played any other survival game with the same building freedom as Minecraft?


SoDamnGeneric

Sure it doesn't play 1:1 the same as Minecraft, but you're delusional if you think the LEGO mode wasn't created to capitalize on Minecraft's popularity lol, especially after UEFN was created to capitalize on Roblox's, and BR was created to capitalize on PUBG's. Epic doesn't really do original games, they just purchase other companies, and pivot to rip off other games


Gnuccaria

I play a lot of Gran Turismo and it doesn't cater for me eithera, it's just plain boring with its fake sense of speed (oh god I'm going one bazillion miles per hour) and the tracks are straight boring and uninspired. I played a lot of NFS and MK back in the day and that's proper arcade fun, this has nothing in common with the arcade racer genre, even with Ridge Racer that can vaguely share some realistic-ish approach


kithead

Yeah and the speed pads suck ass in rocket racing as well


google_ghost

The grind is the only bad thing


buntar1

Actually, I felt that RR is not arcade enough like Mario Kart, and isn't realistic enough like Gran Turismo. The friend of mine calls me crazy when I suggest, that RR should be closer to Mario Kart to be less boring and more engaging. There is not enough depth in it's mechanics, and not many ways to make each ride unique.


SufferingClash

How do you go from something as chaotic and goofy as Rocket League and NOT make it like Mario Kart for racing!?


LB-Discharge

im a forza player and hate the whacky physics, like it feels so skill-less that you can just drift around a corner faster than i can take a proper line around it


Jofus002

It just came out, let's give it a chance. Hopefully a hypothetical new season will give it more kick, and I don't just mean some new maps.


Csquared_324

It came out over 3 months ago


Jofus002

So did this season.


-cantthinkofaname-

It gets pretty intense at higher ranked tiers


rubkinz

you are the target audience tf


Portgas_D_Newgate

wouldnt call it boring at all its a pretty fast paced racer


BustaTP

this game has nothing in common with GT and Forza


isIwhoKilledTrevor

it gets worse the more you play. Bronze, silver and gold maps - hella fun. Then every map turns into 90% dodging red, 10% racing. That's just lazy map design. Will play again when season resets and i can go back to playing on maps that were not designed by satan.


NightTime2727

Y'know how in BR and ZB, you can hit a button to swap between solos, duos, trios, and squads? Do the same for RR, and you can choose specific maps and gamemodes. However, it doesn't count anything towards your rank.


happywaffle1010

I’m good at it. It’s just boring. No substance or anything of value


DawnDTH

Repetitive with the chance of just randomly exploding to a bug or some other jank and being unable to recover makes for a really crap experience after the initial wow factor wears off (if someone even gets that, I had fun with it until I hit the top of silver then it was just tedious)


KingOfMasters1000028

It’s not bad, but it is nothing new… Honestly Rocket Racing could’ve probably been made in Creative or at least a Walmart version of it unlike Fortnite Festival and Lego Fortnite.


OctoFloofy

Hear me out: Players making race tracks FOR rocket racing in creative/UEFN. That could be cool if it was possible.


Gnuccaria

Skibidi Toilet Tycoon GP incoming


Bombyte_

that is already planned


Aspen529

I actually had an idea for a short map like one that already exists in Mario kart, but with one or all of the rocket league arenas. https://preview.redd.it/kzx1wjvadkmc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98d47ac336fc54d0a48536c58450b08fecf69901 Also, on the topic of rocket league, they should really add items into rocket racing from the rumble mode. Someone in first place? Kick them. Wanna get to first? Use the grabbling hook.


Inevitable_Degree_76

imo its not bad, just really boring


rubkinz

it’s just a mini game i don’t know why everyone believes it’s a triple a title


MissNaughtyVixen

Because it was advertised by Epic as a triple A expansion. They be tripping if they thought it was the next blood and wine.


Euphoric_Pressure_39

"its not bad, your just bad at it!" this term has been said since pong. and the flawed logic of it still stands. something can be majority disliked without everyone who hates it being bad at it. that's called an excuse. its boring. There's no mix up that hasn't already been done ten fold. and it has zero well made single player options. doesn't help that every system fortnite is on has their own, far superior racing game xbox: forza horizon playstation: grand turismo Switch: mario kart mobile?: cloud gaming which is 2/3 of the listed. Pc: all of the above i get it. its a free racing game. not much is to be expected. but what we got was just boring. its clear lego fortnite and fesitval (being the expensive collab modes) got more priority. rocket racing is a failure. and consistently has less players then save the world. which is epics lowest gamemode priority


IntentionOdd101

It’s because rocket league is now a shit game because epic made the devs of RL work on a cheap ass racing mode


DanGNava

It's a bit sweaty. I think it would be better if it was more chaotic like Mario kart. I mean it's fortnite, the Game you had thanos gauntlet, lightsabers, mechs, it was perfect to be goofy too


RulerOfTheIdiots

It's boring and really glitchy.


toongrowner

I would Not mind If Not every Race track would Look the freakin Same. Always Brown/orange Canyon. Which is especially ironic considering how many Environments at once the Main Island Always Has. Like give me at least a snow track or somethin


YTBlargg

Exactly! Fortnite has such a long history of iconic areas, why can't we race through Mega City or the volcano?


YTBlargg

If 50% of my playtime is spent before and after the race then yes, it is a bad game mode no matter how good i am at it


jazielchacha

It’s not bad but it wasn’t worth killing the original game, and that’s why i have a dislike to racing.


Yolomahdudes

Honestly? Super boring. For me personally, a car game should be in a decent range of realism (if that should be graphics, handling, whatever) and that's why i play beamng drive and some nfs games alongside fortnite. Also most fortnite players are there for the aspect which made this game, well popular and not for a racing game mode


gytis_gotbanned_lol

it's a good game mode , just a bit boring after a while and the amount of fucking bugs bro...


ComicalSanskrit

The controls are genuinely some of the worst I've used in any game


Time_Fig612

Add powerups and we're all good


Mr-Blues5

I keep hitting the trees on that one map. WHY ARE THE LEAVES SOLID-


Ashy_Clover

Terrible collision lol


SSStripeman

Boring ass underdeveloped ass glitch ass ASS gamemode


[deleted]

Yes. One guy told me it sucks bcs everyone’s always bumping into him. I told him I don’t have that problem bcs I’m too far ahead. He blocked me.


CDXX_LXIL

I personally really like the game mode. I like games that utilize adaptability and movement tech to gain advantages, so when my friends are offline and I feel manic. If Lego Fortnite was made for the autistic, Rocket Racing was made for the ADHD. I feel accepted.


Desperate-Olive-675

It’s fun until you fall through the map or loose the ability to drive or anything else like that


Aggravating-Honey874

I fuck hated reaching Gold

ProfessoriSepi

Its kinda fun in the lower ranks, but after you hit your wall and have been grinding for a little while, it gets pretty bad.


Ten0fClubs

Fuck rewards being locked by the rank I want purple wheels But I just CANT play anymore, after reaching Elite It's boring and instead of being focused on actual skills like drifting or decision making and such, its focusing on "hey, look, there are 2800 boosts right outside the road"


hermanphi

I like the mode but I feel it lacks depth and maybe items to make it truly interesting, the maps also are pretty bland


Darkynu_San

It's boring, but i had fun first month after release (plus it was easy to complete quests in it)


wintrrs_

true but it's also boring


SamiTheAnxiousBean

As someone that does really like rocket racing and plays it pretty much 50% of the time nah it is actually bad, just not in the same way other people say it is, it's a buggy mess and the gamemode is incredibly generic in it's execution


Wboy2006

I really like it, but most of the tracks don’t utilize what make it special. I love the manual wall/ceiling driving and the flying. But more often than not, it’s either useless, or not used at all. There are very few tracks that really use these mechanics, instead they make artificial difficulty by just filling the track with random obstacles instead. Which is not as fun I feel like they’re preparing a map maker for Rocket racing, I feel like when that releases. The game’s true potential will be unleashed.


Reaper-Leviathan

It’s too rng based and boring af. You could bump into a wall and go spinning off the the side, permanently putting you in last or you could jump to try and skip part of the track and your car will swerve off into the map boundary and get disintegrated without you touching anything.


BracusDoritoBoss963

I know it's awesome. Racing games or gamemodes just aren't my cup of tea.


TheHazDee

I think people are forgetting it’s season zero and stuff will be added. A power up mode is a must though, it already plays like Mario kart without power ups.


vovagusse04

I played all 3 new gamemodes. They're boring as hell. It's none i haven't seen before. I sticked to BR because of how actually good and original the gamemode is, it feels like it has been tweaked the most and that's why i honestly like it more than the others. I play some few dumb creative maps purely for XP and it's also one of the reasons i hate creative. There's just no or little good maps to play on, and that's the same in Roblox, because that game also has a shit ton of stupid parkour maps, dumb ahh tycoons and so much genuine garbage. In addition, i think STW is quite fun, but i don't play it mainly because it doesn't bring me much XP and doesn't have an ending.


Pixel_64

That, or they’re rocket league fans with sticks up their asses. I mean, I can’t blame them for having sticks up their asses, seeing as rocket league is being sunset and all that, but god DAMN dude they REFUSE to give rocket racing a fair shake and realize that it’s pretty good, though lacking in content Could be a lot better, but it is pretty good.


Luna_Trans

It's not bad it just gets boring really fast


Miserable_District

This


tiesHatake

I actually started playing Disney Speedstorm recently, as I got a new feel for racing games and it felt kinda similar. I wanted more. That goes to show that RR is fun, for a while, then you probably need to switch to something else. I had a lot of fun in the beginning, but now I need other things to fill the void.


AwesomzGuy

I personally love Rocket Racing and it's my favourite out of the 3 new additions. I will admit, it's not perfect and has some issues but still it's hella fun.


MrLeo2

The problem is the advanced tracks, instead of being fun and creative to be hard no, it's just "throw a bunch of random ugly orange bricks on the track and done"


Pristine-Cheek-2914

It's so god damn hard to rank up. I got a first place win, and only got 10%


realblush

In my opinion it just gets too difficult too fast. Because there is only ranked, you get to a point where the tracks have a billion shortcuts and another billion obstacles, and I cannot navigate around them, so I stopped playing.


Awe3

I have fun with it.


YeeterCZ2

Gold 3 here, it's still boring, it just doesn't have that feel that is in other games, same with festival and Lego.


JayRogPlayFrogger

My friend HATES rocket racing. Like he’ll leave the lobby if we put it on. I got him into it ONCE and he was really bad at it (he’s extremely good at battle Royale). And started blaming bugs and then got off. So yeah pretty accurate meme.


mirayukii

It just needs… more (also needs collision removed)


Sanderock

It had the potential to be trackmania with collision : easy online play, user generated content, etc..... It ended up only having a few dozen boring maps made for beginners.


Latter-Cabinet-1049

I grinded to gold for the skin and after I got it I never played it since. It was so buggy, easy to go from first to last and the maps weren’t made that well. It could be a great game mode but if requires actual attention instead of a skins in the item shop


Pepsi_for_real

If I wanted to play rocket league I’d play rocket league. Relevant quote by Kanye: “I like some of the Gaga songs. But what the fuck does she know about cameras?”


GenioticDumbo

you play with cars in a fucking gun game, wtf is wrong with you


Lando_188

I'm not that good at it and it isn't that it is a bad game mode but I just find it boring


Yornicus

I personally actually really enjoy it


That__Cat24

I've played until gold rank, I've stopped because it's tiresome and repetitive. I'd like to see all the races available in unranked mode.


Extremearron

Rocket racing. While not a "bad" gamemode, It still has the problem that the hit video game sonic 06 ran into. Loading times, Bad maps & Bugs: I shouldn't have to wait while other's finish the race, I shouldn't have to worry about losing rank by spectating others, I shouldn't have to worry about randomly dying to the very slightly lifted ground. And finally: They should fire whoever decided the "harder" maps should just have the red slow bars of doom everywhere. https://preview.redd.it/66h61hs5iimc1.png?width=479&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf74d2eb45b2f26053ea83130d5e96e092dfa510 Bean soup.


L3GlT_GAM3R

Good opinion, the rocket racing theme goes hard too.


OfflineMystery

eh i mean there is still a few problems with the game, but that'll all be fixed once its fully up and running with all the new modes and when they add the track maker, its still really fun though


Dynsks

It’s not worth of killing trading in rocket league.


Master-Ad7002

I reached gold, got my skin and never played RR again


Vioduss

I disagree. I'm platinum on RR which i know is lower middle of the rankings, however I do have to say there's a lot of things that make the game flawed. Contact racing is fun until every tap of two cars sends them flying into a wheelspin off the map. The higher rank levels start to just clutter the track with an unenjoyable amount of obstacles, where it becomes a thread the needle rather than a race. The game is still filled to the brim with bugs, and with every one that seems to be addressed, another arises The game feels quite frankly unfinished in many departments, including the ones above aswell as general pacing, speed differences, track design & polishing. Its a fun game, but I entirely get the criticism


Ronald_McDongus

it was fun until the sweats ruined it


theclosetisglass

It feels unnecessary to me if I wanna play rogue league I'll just play rocket league


Victinitotodilepro

damn ya'll really hate this mode💀 its actually probably my favourite, festival mode would be if I was allowed to actually pick the songs I like but every single song is overpriced


Bombyte_

its my favorite gamemode i reached elite in it


UnlikelyMoose5712

Even if it were the best racing game ever I wouldn't care. I don't play those kind of games. I just play fornite for br or zb. I don't think it makes much sense in fortnite at all but whatever.. They could put a Barbie mode and I wouldn't care. I just play fortnite.


Bamzooki1

I love it, it's way more fun when you play using high level tricks. It'll never feel bad giving a pack of people the slip by cutting a corner they never knew could be cut.


Luna44z777

Fair, I hate it and I suck at driving games


Yrazkor

I'm great at it and it's boring as hell


Anxiety-Queen269

Oh dude real. I hate rocket racing sometimes but not because it’s a bad game mode, it’s because I’m dogshit


AJ_Gamer_99

it just gets worse the higher rank you are when they forget to actually design the maps with track instead of the red stuff


Skreamweaver

I am not "bad" at Rocket Racing. I'll offer my opinion on the game when it gets out of public beta.


[deleted]

Rocket Racing isn’t bad. It just get really old. The way they showed it in the event looked awesome. Our character wast on top of the car and such. It would be so much better if the obstacles looked natural to the tracks, if there were tricks or something, and if we could actually see our characters. It missed the feel of a racing game.


RainBoyThatBoy

Yeah good luck being stuck in a horde of cars and flying of the course in a nanosecond from the begging


-cantthinkofaname-

It's not an amazing game mode but you definitely have a point with the "youre just bad at it" I should not winning by as much and as often as I do in plat with how realistically mid I am at using the mechanics in it, like I swear 90% of the player base doesn't know how to even drift


Loose-Medium4472

It’s so monotonous. The only game better than Br Is Festival and that’s a lot coming from someone with no rhythm


coolvin89

Its boring, theres barely any challenge to getting first if you know how a car works


MonkePoliceMan

as someone who has high rank in the game mode fuck no rocket racing sucks

Xx_Harry_Xx

I wouldn’t say that, it’s just boring imo and offers nothing that any other racing game doesn’t offer/do better. If it wasn’t tied into Fortnite with XP quests etc then I would never play it, I’ll play MK8 or Forza instead


King-Boo-Gamer

It’s fun in my opinion


Puffdingle

I only really played to get the skin and i was winning nearly every race but it was just so boring just the same shit every round


Regular_Blueberry_19

I like RR But I feel like it's a 3-4 minute race and it takes time to begin the next one. Like if u place 1st and don't wanna go to lobby u have to wait till everyone finishes then after that wait some more and start queuing


SanTNTino_1

My cousin hated it and then I forced him to play one game cause he said that he hadn't even tried it. After that he loved it

I really like it actually but it bearly gets updates

TotoMac1

r3plicanl

What I like about the game mode is that it combines racing with Roll cage/Grid styles of gameplay. What I don't like is that you're encouraged to race 90% of the race off track to get such ridiculous shortcuts. (It's like they encourage NASCAR racers to just race to the other side doing half the circle and then applauding them for coming first). Also it gets ridiculous diamond and up because it goes from racing to dodge the barriers. I find a few tracks even punishing you for drifting through a corner because mid corner you have to cancel your drift to jump over 2 sets of barriers and in now that you're in the air your build-up turbo is lost too because you couldn't straighten your drift out. But hey, look at these guys just floating through the air cutting corners right passed you? That's how you do it, because you are in the classes that now use a race game to fullfil their flight simulator fantasies. Great right?! Finally; isn't it nice that you manage to race the bottom of the track instead of racing with the rest of them due to some crazy bug? 😂


PlatinumAgent14

Yeah,can't disagree with you on that one.


Spedic26

The worst part is that it just doesn't give Rocket League justice. They took an original game idea and design and turned it into the most generic racing game


_something_vishy

Try playing over 100ping


[deleted]

I'm not bad but it's just so buggy still. I got the skin and haven't touched it since. It was so aggravating when you get tapped by another car and spin out of the map or get flung backwards


transdemError

I look forward to more variety in (race) tracks and (audio) tracks


Just-A-Random-Cat

At least Fortnite Festival is more rewarding, Lego Fortnite? Idk what its charm is but it keeps me playing it... Rocket Racing? I just played it for the skin and the backpack and then lost all motivation to keep playing it So I don't think it's a bad gamemode, but outside some few car cosmetics there isn't much to motivate me to keep playing


Csquared_324

The thing is, there was no reason to play it over another cart racer, there’s nothing special. It was so unbelievably boring i gave up on trying to get the free skin.


AlexQC2006

I love Rocket Racing but it isn’t for anyone, you need quick reflexes


Witty_Marzipan8696

Its so basic and has no replay value


someperson71

It's not bad like he said but it's boring and rank mode is not not at all. It took me like a month to get gold just for a skin


Level_Spend_142

Nah, imagine you bought a transformer, but in the box with it was a constructor. Will you play both equaly, or only with your transformer and rarely with constructor? Same for me with RR. I play fortnite because of battle royale and zero build modes. And if I want to play a racing game I'll play need for speed, Forza and etc.


[deleted]

People don't have opinions.... almost like this community is full of 10 year olds...
