Public Beta Impressions

[zero2000]

I am thinking about canceling my pre-order just to scope out the game. The last few updates have gotten me worried. If it is this bad at release, I just wouldn't play it until it gets fixed. So if it is, I would rather buy one of the other games coming out in the time frame while I wait for Socom.

I haven't viewed this thread for a while nor have I been able to hop on Socom but wow, it seems like I have not missed much. Nothing but more frustrations. I'm glad I haven't pre-ordered this game, I'll be waiting til I hear everyone's feedback before I run out and get it.

It seems that Slant Six only recently became aware that "European" is not a language, that seems to be their excuse for the delayed EU release, but nobody I've talked to is all that bothered. Given the strength of the autumn releases a lot of American players will probably have gotten bored by the end of November, and S6 might just be able to release a solid patch by then, so the servers and the game itself should run nicely for Europe.

1.60 hasn't eliminated the problems of 1.50, it just seems to have turned them into a guerilla force... you think the game will run then BAM! Error messages flood in, you get disconnected repeatedly and finally the PS3 resets under the weight of it all. It just seems to be luck that keeps people playing now.

Everyone seems to be canceling their pre-orders now... I know I'm going to keep mine. There are only about 2 games that I'm looking forward to right now and I don't think it will make much of a difference.

I'm gonna pick mine up, but probably not play it for a bit.

Saints Row 2 comes out the same day and will keep me occupied.

I'm still going to pick it up, but like many other people, I'm not touching those servers at least until the weekend. The thought crossed my mind of not even picking up the game, but I came to the conclusion that I have too much fun playing the game (with minimal problems), unlike the majority of people I talk to. I just hope SS can fix the problems so more people will buy and play the game as well.

Someone should play NHL 09 with me until then...
