Will Planetside 2 Avoid Mass Negativity?

[maddoggg]

"Omg lame halo clone"

"I have run around for 5 seconds and didnt see no enemies,**** broken game"

"This game is for p*ssies who use vehicles and team work and dont fight like real man"

"Wtf i cant one shot with pistol and guns have recoil!What a n00b game!"

"f*ken lagging game,i sneak behind a tank and shoot all of my assault rifle bullets in it and it doesnt blow up,turns around and kills me.
The game is g*y."

"
This game is full of geeks who think they know sh*t.
This commander guy says "hey squad up and please come over here to help us capture this point"
and i am like "f*ck you man i dont need you n00bs,you would only slow me down and who put you in charge anyway!"
and so i spawn in the base and get the drop on 3 n00bs with their names writen in blue over their heads,and i kill them because they are so bad,that when i start shooting them,they are like" wtf you doing!",but than the stupid n00bs got jelaous of my skill and kicked me for TK.
"



You cant possibly make a popular game and not recieve some hate for it.
With the f2p model, shiny grapchics and almost COD like TTK,the game would most certainly have a decent amount of complete and utter n00bs runing around.
However i do hope it wont end like bf3,simply because the game is not a simplistic shooter with maps like bf3 operation metro and modes like team deathmatch.
Ps2 is generally designed to be a team based and logistic game where thinking matters,and thinking is something the average 14 year old bf3/cod player is uncapable of.
I hope they ll quickly get bored of the game and wont ruin the expirience for the rest of us.

In short: no.

It pretty much is unavoidable, as a single person within 1000+ players can ruin global chat. i think there will be too much going on in the game itself to pay much attention to global chat. I watched all of TotalBiscuit's PS2 footage, which was 4+ hours, and I can't even remember if chat was enabled in Alpha/E3 build or even where it was situated on the screen. Just never even glanced at it, too much cool stuff going on in the game itself.

Yet another reason they need to charge for the client.

Does *anyone* seriously having any problem paying the same amount of money they would for any other FPS, when they get to pay on Sony's servers against thousands of other combatants instead on somebody's crappy box in somebody's college dorm...?

[Gonefshn]

With so many players I wonder if global chat should be available at all.

[leecH]

no.

todays gamers blame the game as soon as they hit the smallest obstacle. instead of overcoming those obstacles they go to forums and collectivly cry about "broken game design" and pollute every community they find with fucking essays about how smart they are and how stupid the game is which they play 10 hours per day. and then you read that stuff because you think this maybe interesting but after the first paragraph you realize it probably is a 15 year old whos greates achievement in life is not to jerk off into their socks and then you realize that somewhere at SOE there is a sad sad human being who has to read all said shit while every sane person is just playing the fucking game in the meantime.

thats why my eyes always twitch when i hear game devs say they want to work together with the community because i have yet to witness something besides horseshit comming out of this collaboration.

ugh.. must be the heat.

it will be like in any other game

want to have fun without flaming idiots? join a guild/outfit/whatever
want to get flamed on a steady base? play with randoms

Someone like me? Not sure I understand. If you don't give a damn about the community, why are you posting on this forum?

Also, is it wrong to be serious? I don't have to "act."

Besides, I play solo.

[vVRedOctoberVv]

Hah! Wishful thinking, indeed.

[Carnage]

I deal with it as I always deal with these issues, I turn off the chat and only use team/squad related communication, if any chat at all...

[Sephirex]

I haven't seen any real drama in Tribes Ascend. That gives me hope for Planetside 2.

[Gonefshn]

I always ignore that stuff it never bothers me because I don't even pay attention. I'll be too busy enjoying myself in game to bother looking at the official forums or the general chat.

[Mythoclast]

Every sizable online game especially F2P ones will have an awful amount of jack-assery. As I was told when I joined these boards. Strap in. Brace yourself.

[Sledgecrushr]

I am going to fight when and where the outfit deems necessary. I really hope I can turn off general chat.

[Shogun]

in ps1 i saw very little of this negativity in the chatbox.
at least compared to other games.

i think the whole "i am the best and you killed me because you suck and cheat" thing is no real problem because every faction has its own chat. in other games you have a global for everyone. in planetside you just talk to your own faction! if you want to rant about some enemy, you gonna need to send a tell.

this reduces the noob whining a lot! because annoying the own team is never a good idea. annoying the enemy is where the "fun" comes from, and this isn´t as convenient in ps as it is in tf2 or other arenagames!

/ignore

[soulsurfsublime]

Yeah ignore, use VOIP, join a squad, outfit etc. Hopefully they can keep the game free from major exploits etc that will only add fuel to the negativity fire.
