Scathing criticism at Gamespot

Watch the entire video before responding.

This is very worrying indeed, it's like the whole point of what Planetside 2 is suppose to be is missing, especially it lacks all the suggested features the reviewer listed from 03:00 mark.

Of course it's missing features! It's in BETA! This is not one of those 'ohh play for free for a few weeks before release' betas. PS2 is constantly improving - most of the issues in the video can be, and are going to be, easily solved before release.

If you look around the offical streams, or if you've managed to get in, you'll see that most of these criticisms are unfounded.

This doesn't make much sense, how can beta lack the most basic features of what defines(or is suppose to) the game?

Maybe this guy should play with a properly manned organized outfit before saying all this junk too. This game isn't really meant to be playing lone wolf in the first place.

Also comments like these below that video don't look very promising-

played several days in the beta..... it is HORRIBLE. no interest what so ever anymore.

You are going to let your thoughts on this game be swayed by some lame commenter on gamespot and random page comments? The reviewer obviously has a hard on for CoD just by how he was talking. Those page comments are not worth anything either as many could just be trolls. Game is still in beta, this isn't your typical beta (like BF3's glorified alpha/beta demo) so there is going to be plenty of changes coming before release. I suggest trying the game once open beta comes or at release before making your judgment final. When you do get in a organized outfit, otherwise you are missing out on 90% of the game.

Sounds like SOE didn't pay GameSpot enough.

These guys have been in beta for just a couple of days (literally I think they got in Wednesday) and have no idea what they are talking about and as Nathaniak mentioned its beta. I bet they have played for a couple of hours tops and know nothing about it.

"especially if you are an FPS fan that's used to a smaller more directed experience" See if you pay them enough you get mentioned in any video.

When you guys try it for yourselves you can judge. It's not worth it to pay attention to any comments on videos or reviews.

OK, that's pretty worrying right there, it's basically just like saying get a guild for Team Fortress 2 or any other game, which means 90% will not be able to do it and the game for most people will suck bad.

I feel like saying "get in a organized outfit" is pretty dishonest when everyone knows that most people will not know how to do this, just like in every other game.

Also how is that related to the features he proposed which are in other games?

Hamma · 2012-08-31, 09:27 AM

Not to mention the mission system isn't in yet which is supposed to focus the new minded players into where to go.

Hamma · 2012-08-31, 09:29 AM

Yea just finished the video.. everything this guy mentioned are coming in beta and not in yet.

Hamma · 2012-08-31, 09:35 AM

Also we should create a thread about raid dungeons that's something we really need.

Zeraph · 2012-08-31, 09:39 AM

I still have trust PS2 team, they will deliver great game.

Dartan · 2012-08-31, 09:45 AM

Some comments there say vehicle over usage killed PS1, is this true?

Hamma · 2012-08-31, 09:51 AM

I don't feel that way but some people do.

Are they even allowed to leak Infos in this state of beta?!
