SOE have always been reactive not proactive.

Time to stop believing in SOE and all of their games. They won't get mass scale and they wont be popular in years to come.

And even though I want to go back to Planetside 1. Can you imagine how amazing it would have been if it had the right development and team behind it. One of the best games even with SOE management. Just imagine

I always liked Planetside. It's probably one of my all time favorite games.

Planetside 2 is a great sequel. It's not the "best" but it's good. It feels rushed considering we only got three continents and no real strategy mechanics. And what they want in the meta game is basically bare minimum. I would of liked to see more new innovative idea's right out of the gate.

Planetside 1 launched with tons more content it seemed like despite being made in 2003.

With that said though there is no reason Planetside 2 could not be a huge success. I am not sure why it is not. There is no other game that offers anything similar. Either I am a minority in gaming because it's my favorite game, or people don't just know about Planetside and what make's it great.

Maybe that article I read that says my computer is better then 90% of all computers in the world has something to do with it? Are people just not buying gaming computers anymore? I couldn't live without my computer. How do people survive without high end PC gaming? I would probably buy a computer before I bought a car, maybe even food if I thought my fat reserves would hold up.

Very constructive......
Come back in a half year.

It doesn't have much to do with people buying consoles or not having a gaming PC

It's to do with the Lack of listening to Planetside vet's, lets rephrase that, they listened a lot but didn't really make the game to much like Planetside. It wasn't advertised hugely apart from the US and Germany and maybe China. Lack of support and living up to promises. It is only week 2

I love Planetside 2. Oh well, I guess i'm just a noob.

Rolfski · 2012-12-06, 08:21 AM

Please, not another "PS2-should-be-more-like PS1" thread. Beating a dead horse is getting old and tired.

I still hope ps2 will be a fantastic game. a really good sequel of ps1. Now i alredy have fun playing ps2 but it seems it could be much better.

ShadetheDruid · 2012-12-06, 08:34 AM

Something I wonder is surely there's enough people by now who would rather be playing PS1 than 2 to make it worth it for them, if they all went back at once?

That way, everyone would be happy.

Reminds me of that Star Wars Red Letter Media review.

He was complaining that they kept rehashing stuff from the previous movies and turning them into Star Wars cliches and asks them to create something new. Then he shows the new stuff, "no wait stop making things that are new!" lmao.

Like they either copy other games around like PS (obviously), WoW or BF3 or create something new that is horrible like the new MCG model or the new bases etc. With their other games it was BFRs, NGEs, new instances dungeons.

LIKE STOP! Just keep making the cliches after all, I hate the new stuff, in fact just make the original with better graphics.

It's wise to ask your customer what they want before you develope a product instead of you having and idea and thinking your product is great but in the end no one wants it's.

Infernalis · 2012-12-06, 11:05 AM

It has nothing to do with rehashing the same thing or making something too innovative, the problem is they went a way then another (especially during beta) and didn't really thought of the all the game mechanics.

And I still believe they could have started from what PS1 did wrong or good and improved from there, they would have gained a lot of time.

So true. They had 9 years worth of experience to draw upon. How much have they learnt from that? Well you can see for yourself with the sequel. Im not saying the game is shit... the game is better than most shooters out there because its the only MMOFPS out there. This is the best game genre there is hands down.

Its easy for us vets to see what the game needs and how it can be improved but they haven`t listened or wont listen. Id even question if most of the devs working on this game even played PS much, including Higby even tho they claim to have.

I have a suggestion: Go away.

You dont like the game? Dont play it. Why the fuck bother us then? Go play whatever else you want and annoy people there.

This constant "wah wah PS2 is bad im crying" is annoying, nothing else.

I still don't understand why Basti is a mod here.

Sure his first post was whiny but his second post explained his view point better.

GraniteRok · 2012-12-06, 03:32 PM

*Yawn* Yet another post from the same... armchair whining... Run along, nothing to see here.
