Gah, I found a Target that started selling them on Sunday, but they were all sold out. The guy I talked to was pretty knowledgeable about games, and he said that they might get more tomorrow. I'll check other Targets when I get off work though.

Awesome, I will check the Target near me later tonight.

I know I am a fool, but bugs since the fucking beta?

 

[Carlisle]

God dammit. Everytime I come here, I decide to get KZ. Everytime I go to the RE5 thread, I decide to get that. WHY MUST THE FATES MAKE ME CHOOSE?!

There can be only one!

Spoiler

 

[Felix Lighter]

It did look like the Target, nearest me, was selling Street Fighter 4 early. Maybe I should stop by on my way home.

 

[A.R.K]

I created GAF US East this morning, so if you have the game just search for it and join. (I have to accept for it to go through)

TTP created Euro GAF 1 today as well.

Any one can create a clan? Can 1 person join 2 clans?

Have you ever played an online game before? Bugs happen at release, every time.

Can somebody please explain why GG left out a proper matchmaking interface in the final build? Why would any developer in their right mind omit a tried and true method of getting people into games that has been in existence ever since Halo 2 hit the market? It just seems absolutely ridiculous to have to wait 15 minutes to get a game going. So the single player is 10-15 hours long. That's cool, I can deal with that--I'm more of a multiplayer fan anyway. But at least give me a decent online interface to jump into games with. Bullshit like this is why the PS3 is still getting it's ass kicked by the 360 in regards to the FPS genre.

It takes like 10-15 minutes to just get into a match making game in anything on 360. Halo 3, Gears of War, etc. You sit there and wait. It's a horribly flawed system.

The bug is simple, and something that would have passed QA

The bug is when you search for Everything with no restriction and receive a LONG games list you can't scroll through the list.

That's all it is.

No offense man but outside of halo 2 and 3 I haven't played any console games
with a great matchmaking interface.

I also take it you haven't played Gears of War 2.

What MP 'game' are you playing right now, I'll join the party!

 

[Pizza Luigi]

No, just push up on the dpad and follow the arrows. It's quite an atmosphere breaker to see 5 guys just sitting still in cover doing nothing and reacting to nothing when there's supposed to be a full blown war going on, the bullets are whizzing and the missiles banging but the guys just sit lifeless unless you move forward to where the next action trigger is...I've found I enjoy the game most if I just run and gun, this way I can somehow keep the atmosphere from breaking.

Thanks!!

This live chat thing they have going on at the Playstation blog right now with the GG guys is cool.

The 4D ad thingie sounds pretty neat, too.

Anyone get their questions in yet?

Seriously. Most 360 games have you waiting just as long to get into a good game. At their peaks, Halo 2 and 3 were pretty decent in this regard, but most other games have some serious waiting associated with them.

[MickeyKnox]

Alright NYCgaffers, I'm saying fuck trying to get it before the street date at this point. My gamestop preorder will be there for me Friday it already has like $20 bucks on it.

Won't get to play till Sat afternoon since Friday night is go out and get reaaaaally fucking drunk for no more than $20 night with the regular crew.

 

[RoboPlato]

Isn't there a quick join option anyway? Why not just use that as a replacement for matchmaking?

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

what is with all the bitching about online? was it not known like months ago how it all worked?

 

[Ephemeris]

Oh yeah. Got mine.

 

[JB1981]

It doesn't take 10-15 minutes to join ANY of the top 360 MP shooters (Gears, Halo, COD 4 etc.) Gears 2 matchmaking used to be shit but with a least a party of 2 the wait times rarely exceed a few minutes. Halo is very fucking fast now and COD 4 is nearly instant. Don't know what games you guys have been playing or how long ago you played them.

 

[Dante]

That's it...I'm hitting up Target after work just in case

[Zezboob]

Some people bitched about this during beta(me) and gaf beta players sweared that it was the perfect online setup.
I lol'd @ them for thinking a lobby system wouldnt be needed. I see I was correct because this is the exact reason why I was complaining about this.
When some of us complained about this, we got the same resonse from beta players "boo hoo guys the online setup is perfect you dont need a lobby system you just join your your friend and voila its all good"

I hate making a lobby and waiting just to be on the same team. O well, I still cant wait for the game and I know it aint gonna bother me after a while, but still wish it had a party system because its stupid to run into the situation you just did.

Yeah, I think I remember of that.
But you know, back then people were a bit sensitive, afraid that media etc would try to kill the game for any reason possible.

But now, I would like that people think about all the things that can improved, and I think there is something to do about this. Let's hope.

Huh so what's the point of squads if I hear a dozen people shout in the mic

You can always respawn close to the squad leader.
Personally that's the main utility I found.

You need to be quiet when you're around enemies so you don't give away your position. In a squad you can only hear your squad mates and any loud mouth close-by.

Yeah, and that's good.

Because I love hearing people screaming "how he fucking killed me ?!?".



Something that snipers and campers can't understand

That's totally false. You don't like it, ok, but no need to lie about it.

No offense man but outside of halo 2 and 3 I haven't played any console games with a great matchmaking interface.

I also take it you haven't played Gears of War 2.

Gears of War 2 has now a good matchmaking.

But what would really suit to Killzone 2 is a BFBC system, a team stacking system to find a lobby, put you in the same team (and better, in the same squad everytimes) and you stay in the same lobby after the match.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Matchmaking is great and all but it's not nearly as important to me as a party system. I'd be cool with a server list if you can create a party of friends and have the leader choose the server.

Finding games is usually not a problem in most somewhat popular games but getting a group of people into a game together, can often be a bit of a pain.

 

[The Wise Old Man]

What MP 'game' are you playing right now, I'll join the party!

COD4 on the 360. Best matchmaking interface ever. Twenty seconds and I'm in. And it mirrors the Halo system perfectly. I'm not saying that Halo is the alpha and omega of FPS games, but it did set the standard for how online matchmaking should flow. I've never waited more than a minute or two to get into a game. Waiting 15 minutes for a fragfest, no matter how fun, is totally unacceptable.

And yes, Gears has terrible matchmaking problems (and buggy servers too).

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Am I missing something? When I joined a game last night, all I had to do was find a game with open player slots, press X to join, and then press X again to confirm that I was ready, and bam, I was in.

Why are you acting as if KZ2 takes 15 minutes to get into a game when it is in fact as quick or quicker than anything else out there?

 

[3rdamention]

From the live chat about how long KZ2 was in development



Not nearly as long as some try to make it out to be.

They said in one interview they have had the Multiplayer up and running for 3 years. They were even playing with some devs in the states and sharing ideas and stuff.


The online will be awesome. I mean, I played Warhawk for 6 months and already had a list of things I would change to make it better.


Imagine having 3 years to work on something.

It doesn't mirror the Halo system at all. COD 4 just throws you into a game - it doesn't match you up by skill and you stay in the same lobby you started in. You don't exit back out after the game, you keep on rolling on with the same people (which is fine by me, but it's not like Halo AT ALL). And Gears 2 matchmaking is fine now.

No...you get it.

 

[The Wise Old Man]

I'm saying this as a guy who likes online play over the campaign stuff. Slow servers are one thing. I get it, it's day 1 for this game. That's totally fine. R2 had terrible servers at first and now they're lightning fast and it's wonderfully easy to jump into a game. What I'm faulting GG for here is leaving out a tried and true component that's essential to any reputable multiplayer FPS. It's 2009 people, get with the picture.

OK, now what's your PSN username so I can join your 'party'?
There's no need to bring very old games like H3, or even more recent games like cod4.
What's your PSN username sir? Let's play together, please.
PEACE!

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Is it really taking 15 min to get into a game?

Got it in Brooklyn. See:

Eh, I live in Brooklyn but I'm in BedStuy right on border of Bushwick so it's not worth going waaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck over there.
