I honestly cracked up IRL holy shit
are they fucking serious with this shit? are they are just pretending it's working?
It's preferential treatment. I don't know if Justin streaming but I'm sure it's all fgc illuminati/big names.

Combofiend trolling...

It's not surprising, Youtubers get this shit all the time. Even that weird dude got the Majoras Mask 3DS early. Boogie gets deals all the time as well. Max is just playing dumb

Welcome to the club. Haven't gotten in a single fucking time.
At this point I must have apparently done something to offend then
Next step will be to reboot your PS4 each time
This is true.
A PR person. Which is more or less what combofiend is in this instance.
It's bullshit, don't get me wrong, but I'm not surprised.
Never.

I know it's a beta, but this has been an absolute farce.

Going to the main menu doesn't boot you from the server. I've done it to watch replays.

Are people really mad that max is getting some premium treatment by capcom?
At least this way, there's someone with a quality stream providing some footage of the beta while it's not working properly.
Or are you seriously thinking "man, if max didn't get this golden handshake treatment, I'd clearly be the one getting in"? Get real.

been trying since it started almost the entire time it's been up. Haven't made it past the title screen.
Anyways the fact that they aren't talking about people unable to play and just matchmaking stuff is worrying. Pretty much expecting them to end the beta at the same time they planned to and pretend it's been working this whole time.

I agree, but it is what it is:

Plainly stated. This isn't going to change right now.
it was too fucking good to be true right
capcom giving us a full blown chance to play the game early, online no less, with the sole requirement for access being an easily abused pre-order
not sure what the fuck I was thinking, shouldn't even have bothered installing it in the first place
I imagine it does the more letting a known streamer/solid player showcase the beta. There rationale anyways
"Quality streaming" Lol, all right.

I was never part of a program when they were doing private beta testing way back when. I was only told about it from various internet websites and so forth. I remember when the 360 came out and you had FFXI's beta and then I believe GRAW had one. It's crazy how they've gone from being an industry trade secret or something you share with your gamers friends to what they are today. I even remember some PSP beta testing for a while, copies were sent out to a handful of people. Yes it does allow QA to be done on a much larger scale and companies don't necessarily have to hire a ton of beta testers. This is their shot at seeing how the public reacts. In my honest opinion Capcom has talent, lots of it, but they might not have the man power to do something like this and have it work perfectly. I think they are still a company made from the ground up and they have developers who have ambition, but technology is still technology. Networking has been huge for console developers for quite some time. I'd say MS and the people who run companies in the west have a much larger selection of network engineers and people throwing around P2P networks on the go. The western market has also been one that has concentrated on MP FPSs. Most major developing houses in the west probably have interns and experienced personnel with a background in networking. Capcom probably isn't out of the clear blue because this is a public beta. As a gamer I didn't think betas would do well as a selling point. It was always a technological gamble from the start. You're talking about a studio's project being played by the customer and the game isn't even finished yet. That's a huge gamble if you also include the sheer amount of criticism the public can have. I for one think some studios know they're going into a beta and have people who are use to it. The early builds are built around being something they can receive feedback for. There's a lot of artist in Japan and IMO the artist has more of a job than the technical side of things.
It's like how everyone wants to have a game designer's job, but they don't realize that a lot of the powerhouse game designers in the world grew around other aspects of game design while on their way up the ladder. I wish some game designers would write books or work on movies and you could also say the the network engineer may not know how to piece a story together or make a character either. I'm not quite sure on how the process works, but we have generations of offline consoles and also games that have worked with way less technology. I expect SF as a whole is built without thinking how the netcode is going to work. I think that is just a major gamble because the game itself was created offline.

Seriously, his stream is the worst in the FGC.

"hey guys, I dislike maximillian, look at my edge"
Honestly I could care less about any damn footage. I want to play the game myself. I know some folks love to watch live streams and all that but that does nothing for me.
I don't have an issue with the guy, but I think myself and other folks are just damn tired of sitting here for 3 days hitting "any button" to go nowhere.
Max is the only fgc streamer who I like watching. And he's not the only person supposedly getting whitrlisted, so I don't know why only he's getting dumped on here.
This is some sexy gameplay
