At least he's right though. He hasn't created a single topic that was wrong. At least he comes out and says it so we can see FIXES.
That's the point of a beta dude, we don't just sit here and say "good job SSM" we're here to test the games balance, bugs and servers.
thnak you. He is just mad that I added him to my ignore list on gamefaqs for doing the same exact thing he is doing now.
You actually get that all of the complaints are SUPPOSED to be great, since this is a beta. Hell, they even say to provide feedback. Let me make it clear, I love the beta and think it has massive potential. As it is now, the beta already has a deep engine that will attract avid gamers who give it a try. However, the minor annoyances stack, and will undoubtedly repell casuals. My greatest fear is that this mp will suffer the same fate as the Bioshock 2 mp, where disgruntled fans not even giving it a try, yet telling everyone that it was bad. Unfortunately, Bioshock took out their unique mp in its sequel Bioshock:Infinite, because it recieved too many negative responses from ppl who rarely, if ever, played it. What a waste of such a great mode. I really do not want this unique mp to get canned for the same reason. That is why it has to be great. Its actually pretty close to being great as it is now. Just needs some tweaks to the hammer, grapple, dodge spam, and magic spam.
Another thing I fear, is that a lot of the grievances expressed here will not be addressed and considered for the final game, because of ppl who assume that they will be fixed for the final game. NO!!! DONT ASSUME ANYTHING!!!! For example, the Playstation All Stars beta had a slew of issues ranging from severe imbalances(Kratos ironically), and really poor connection. Ppl acted like Rumba and ridiculed those that complained assuming that they would OBVIOUSLY be fixed. However, the final game suffered the EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE FINAL GAME!!! WHAT???!! Kratos is still OP, the imbalances are laughably bad, the servers are poor, etc. What was the point of the beta then? Dont let that happen here. Santa Monica is actually encouraging feedback so that they can be proactive and fix this. I mean, they released a beta 2 months before the release date to fine tune the mp. Make the most of it.
I guess the point of what I am trying to say, is to be vocal about the issues of the beta. If enough ppl conplain about the specific issues, then they will be fixed. Point out issues about anything, no matter how small, because if you assume they will be fixed, then that makes you an....well you know.
