WEEKLY UPDATES?, Another 2 weeks have passed, Still Nothing!

[Jnewt427]

Quoted from ZIPPER from the SOCOM 3 BLOG on January 9th,

"Let us first start by apologizing for going dark for so long. We're going to try to not let that happen again."

It is now the 27th a full 2 weeks Later again,

To all who read this post, I hope you understand where I am coming from when I say the following.


Yes I play the game alot and I am one of the one's sitting back and hoping for all of these bugs to get fixed. but!!

The ranking system should not be screwed up, it should of worked from the begaining. Ban the RANK ups, at least the top 10, you possible can't have 20,000 kills and 1 death. This will automatically put at end to anyone els doing it. Period.

They Brought out a patch, Sorry but it was not worth 3MB of my memory card. About as impressive as when the game came out, with all kinds of errors and $hit. I cannot believe they let this programming error continue even after the patch with the Sounds of Doors opening and closing. Who the hell at ZIPPER fell alseep at the wheel on that one.

New Streaming Technology?? = LAG (Yea try BATTLEFEILD 2!!!! IT DOES NOT EXIST!!!!) and battle field has Helicopters that you fire upteen zillion missles down on some city or even parachute out of and shot your weapon on the way down and even call in airstrikes and kill like 20 people.

16 vs 16 online play = no mics, horriable LAG, people getting botted. (Nobody can even clan war with 16 vs 16 because of the horriable lag issues, to many times already I have had the losing team blame it on the host connection and does not take the loss. It's not the host connection it's the game!!! Plus there's no way to tell who is host until you have started the game WTF? Zipper )

And still broken promisses about the weekly updates.....

You are absolutely correct. They should be communicating with us more regularly than they are. Even if it's just to say that they have nothing to say. At least we would know they haven't forgotten about us.

I started a thread in this forum about petitioning for a new release of the game. Fully tested and ready for the consumers. No patches, no lag. Done. Ready.

I think that lots of others feel the same way, and I know that Sony frequently peruses these boards. I am not without hope.

And how did that damn door slamming get by them?

[Prophecy]

Agreed, im jsut hoping some guy doens't come in saying well at least you dont have to pay for online pay and stuf......the point is we paid for a game, a working game. I love the stat tracking in this game, its in depth, and has a wicked idea behind it if it worked.
Problem is....rank ups.......glitching (sometimes, not as bad as one may think compared to socom1 and 2).......bugz.
I would like to hear them say we know your there, jsut checking in you know making sure you guys seee that we're still here, blah blah. would be nice....
I wouldn't ask for a new release of the game, they have the means of fixing eveyrhting, its just going to take time,.........its just been taking too much time...:D anyways back to socoom! cheerz guys

Alright gentlemen lets put this on an adult level real quick. Zipper was just aquired by Sony. That means there are probably a million changes going on right now. I know that I have been in a change over, like that and it takes time to adjust. Give them a little break. Im sure the news update is the last thing on their minds right now. They are probably more worried about keeping their jobs.

32 vs 32 online play = no mics, horriable LAG, people getting botted.

If you have so many problems with the game, don't play it, and don't come on here and cry to us.

Oh, and I'd like to see these 32 v 32 matches you speak of....

look fool, many of the problems on Socom 3 consist of half *** coding. Zipper basically threw this game together in a couple of months and made millions of dollars off it. Things like "Game Join error" only consist on beta testing games. Why couldnt their database mangers code a proper way to record stats? Its obvious all these problems are due to shotty coding, but for some reason people don't want to speak up.

Are you ok with spending 50 bucks for a beta version of a game? I guess so.

Then go make your own game. Christ, there's 3 topics an hour about people crying over the game. If you don't like it, don't play it, and certainly don't come onto a mesage board for fans of teh game and try and trash it. How can you expect a positive response?

I spent my money on a perfectly good game. Every single game I'v ever played online in my life has had things like game join errors and such, so I don't see how you can try and single out Socom 3. Apparently you know what's wrong, if you are so amazingly brilliant, then why aren't you making the game?

I'm pretty sure that some of us could do a hell of a lot better than the dopes over at Zipper. The past few years have seen a decline in the quality of video game production. I beleive that it is because of the increased focus on the next-gen development, but who knows? All I know is that we are paying 50-60 bucks a pop for games that dont completely work. I'm getting sick of that. Once the next-gen playstation is released I will be that much more reluctant to pay 60-70 bucks a game because lately I haven't seen much to get me excited and waiting in anticipation for the ps3. How is the next-gen of gaming going to be any different if they haven't even come close to mastering the tecnology of this generation?

And let us not forget that Socom 3 even went through a 2 month public beta test. During the beta test 99% of the issues with this game were reported to Zipper, and they still released the game.

The fact is we all payed for this game, and expected it to work out of the package. What we got was a game full of bugs, glitches and errors. If there were any other 3rd person military online shooter available, I'd be playing that. Sadly, Socom doesn't have any competition yet. However, I will be switching to the new Ghost Recon when it comes out on 3/28.
