.. you guys are scaring me now. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM

It's supposedly full of bugs and Capcom has done nothing to fix them.

 

[shuri]

I just read a few threads from random forums, people are saying that the lag problems are fixed

 

[Sai]

Quick! Trade it in for Crimson Skies or Ralisport Challenge 2!

...

...

... Or a pre-order for HALO 2.

.. you guys are scaring me now. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM

the game is totally fucked up. i'm sure someone else is typing up a post filled with the problems it has...it's just gonna take a bit, gonna be a huge post.

short version:

shit network code
easily exploited bug ruins campaign mode
finding other people to play with is a joke
you need a godly connection to get a full game going without any drop outs

i probably spent 7 hours with LoC, and of that, I played two matches. everything else was spent waiting in lobbies.

even if they fixed the lag - and by god, that'd be a shock - there's still the issue of the campaign mode bug, and the drop out issues.

 

[shuri]

Well this sucks.

There was lag at least year's E3 when it was 8 players on a LAN connection. I am glad I took that clue and waited for impressions.

 

[BuddyC]

Well this sucks.

yea. see my avatar? imagine you're the guy on the ground, and Capcom is the three dudes with bats. that's pretty much what it's like to pay for SB:LoC.

LAG over LAN?
Wow, that must be an acomplishment

 

[Sai]

HaloPC has lag over LAN too.

 

[Spike]

Oh dear god, shuri!! By all that is holy, take it back now!!!

 

[atomsk]

wait a few years and ebay it.

i havent touched it in months, i suppose now that i increased my DSL speed, i should try again...

it'll probably still be shitty

 

[shuri]

I'm pwned. Local EB wont take back opened games. They'll only change it for a copy of the same game.

ANd its all because of those fucktards who used EB as a rental store.

There was a bit there that Capcom was willing to refund your money if you sent your copy of LoC to them. I don't remember the details, but it's worth cehcking out.

I think they retracted that offer, or something. I just remember some thread on their forum being magically deleted that contained info about this refund
