How is ps2 in comparsion to ps1 - Page 2

Huntsab · 2012-10-21, 06:15 AM

I have given this game a chance and I don't like it. It is being released in one month and the crux of the game is shallow and boring. All I hear is "Oh, it's beta". Yeah I know this. We all do. Patch after patch has not improved the game play one bit. The game play is a total yawn fest. Great for you if you like it. Most Planetside vets hate it. Not all, but most.

THey said they were changing base mechanics, I thought it would be like PS1 and I barely have to explore a base.

Theres no fights on steps or in gen rooms. I just have nothing to do apart from shoot long distances. Its shite!

Shit

Comparing it to other games, eh.

I beta tested PS1 and it was good at first; got great after a few changes and vehicles added; then got bad after the expansion. I think PS2 will get great with time. I like the play but I have to agree that I will miss GEN room fights/holds.

Even if I didn't know you were making up that bit about PS vets, that accounts for what, a thousand players at most?

I notice you ignored my statement about how insane you would have to be to try and compare over 9 years worth of development to this beta. It fairly easy to see how close-minded you are - and I understand the power of nostalgia, I really do, so I guess I can't blame you completely.

I think MAX, Heavy, and Infiltrator needs some work. MAXes need to be able to run. The Heavy class needs to be fleshed out a bit more. Infiltrators need to be truly invisible even when moving until they are fairly close and need a decent gun for when they are going in to hack things - and they should get xp for hacking too.

Just FYI, PS1 didn't have 9 years worth of development put towards it.

Doesn't matter, it's far more than PS2 regardless and certainly far more support.

Never not compare apples and bananas

I am not making it up at all. Any player who was decent and understood PS1 does not like PS2. Maxfit players who couldn't hit the backside of a barn probably do as the dumbed down mechanics make it easy to kill. No more strafing and no more pressure to hit warpy dudes. I can see why those players enjoy PS2. They sucked at PS1 and now they can compete thanks to the TTK and sucky rifle comabt. Yawn

Ah, so what you're essentially saying is that you suck at PS2 because you need to warp/lag in order to actually get a kill?

Ohhhh I see. Since I'm a PS1 vet (from launch, mind you) then I must not have been any good. Yeah ok, easy to ignore you from now on I guess.

There have been plenty of PS1 "vets" from launch who were downright terrible at the PS1, even though they played for years. (Not referring you you since I don't know you).

Amount of time played =/= Level of player ability/skill

I was laughing at his logic, whereas if you were any good that you automatically hate PS2.

Well most of the "good" players I know, while they don't hate ps2, they don't really enjoy it. But that was like a month and a half ago, maybe things have changed.

I am/was moderately decent at PS1, but I don't really enjoy the direction of PS2, but I don't hate it :P

Dunno about anyone else but it pisses me off when people say the devs working on PS 2 didnt have 9 years of development time. Surely being a sequel to Planetside these 9 years should of counted towards the new game too.
