Plugging? Why is it called plugging? Is that not the same as rage quitting?

SDuck409d ago

yes and no. Rage quit is usually a one and done per session due to rage. Plugging in Tekken is rage quitting on purpose over and over because for some reason, you don't get a registered loss and it ruins the victim's win streak

CobraKai409d ago

Ah. So it’s more of a loophole to keep the L record from getting bigger

SDuck409d ago

Exactly. Obviously, that lets them rank up to ranks they are clearly not good enough to be

Skuletor409d ago

I think it's more unplugging your net connection to avoid the loss.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH409d ago

Yes I’ve heard. Lowtiergod got banned and has been crying about it every sense. I say good for Namco actually doing something about it.

SDuck409d ago

the only clip I've seen of that person reacting to the ban was him literally saying "no problem, I still have alt. accounts"

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH409d ago

Then you haven’t really seen his videos. He’s perhaps the biggest fighting game rage quitter of all time. He made his name off rage quitting and a few other things. Just watch a few videos on YouTube about him and you’ll see.

DarXyde408d ago

Dale (LowTierGod) is a special kind of moron.
He does have alts, but you really have to be committed to it keep creating new accounts. At the end of the day, they're like bullets: you could always use more, but you'll run out. In principle though, wouldn't he need to keep topping up subs for new accounts?

Angyobangyo409d ago

LTG ban is probably a combination of plugging and his constant online toxicity in the game. Harada should just make it that if someone ragequits or plugs, the other players automatically gets the win.

Astro bot at 2nd place? That's impressive

Kurisu15d ago

Purchased my copy last week!

MaximusPrime_15d ago

Great!

I bought this game at launch. Brilliant game

andy8515d ago

Been so many good deals on the console with astro included this week. Might be why. Not knocking it by that comment BTW.

ravens5215d ago

Interesting. Wonder if the narrative that this game is selling poorly is still floating around.

Abear2115d ago (Edited 15d ago )

It’s not. And it is strange to wonder about notions in people’s heads but we all have to waste time thinking about something I suppose

Silly Mammo15d ago

Playing Astro Bot right now and having a blast. Though I really hate the tiny shape levels

Relientk7715d ago

Some of the shape levels are a real pain. Legit the hardest levels in the game

I finished Astrobot 3 times hahaha...it's just THAT good! I finally caved and bought the PSVR (used and comes with 2 MOVE controllers and physical copy of Ark Park for $125) to play Rescue Mission and MY GOD it's an even better game! totally worth it!

P_Bomb14d ago

@badz
Rescue Mission might be my favorite PSVR game!
