[QUOTE=killz2much;22516225]Hey guys let's base our opinions of the final product based off a [b]BETA.[/b] Seriously, do you guys not understand what beta means?[/QUOTE] Do you? How much do you honestly think is going to change between beta and release? They didn't spend years making a game only to redo it a month before release.
[QUOTE=Amateur;22536553]do you idiots really think that they will make a huge change in the final product,this beta what runs atm,this is what it will be,on the long run with patches they will improve this and that,but that's all,this game will be shoot em up nothing more,most interesting is the economy part. If anyone can make anything,then how are those rtw points supposed to be gained through gameplay,etc you're in trade tab,you see some one sells some shit,you'll check the outcome and then,go and make it your self,no point in wasting rtw if everybody can make anything,atleast it's how devs said it works,the crafting.[/QUOTE] What?
[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;22513547][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egQ7OT93HOo[/media] tl;dw: Boring, bland, empty, broken, horrible. [editline]07:00PM[/editline] Forgot repetitve.[/QUOTE] I didn't want to bump this thread but now that it is... This is one of the worst 'reviews' I've ever seen, not only does he not know what he's talking about half the time, he also fucks up the fun that other players are trying to have. Don't get me wrong; he's right about some points... for one that that matchmaking is rediculous at times and that the vehicle control isn't exactly the best (something you get used to after a bit of playing). But other than that he's an idiot and a jerk. :colbert:
The game looks boring and repetitive anyway. [QUOTE=killz2much;22516225]Hey guys let's base our opinions of the final product based off a [b]BETA.[/b] Seriously, do you guys not understand what beta means?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Beta "Beta" is the software development phase following alpha, named after the Greek letter beta. It generally begins when the software is [B]feature complete[/B]. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]A [B]feature complete[/B] version of a software is not yet final, but contains all intended functionality of the final version. Usually a feature complete software still has to undergo testing and bug fixing as well performance or stability enhancing before it can go to release candidate and finally gold status.[/QUOTE] It means all the game's features, like gameplay, basic premise, plot ect...Is done All what's left is bugfixing. The "Don't judge x based on the [B]beta[/B] version" is the one of the weakest arguments that somehow can still stay strong, due to all counter arguments being basically straw mans. Yes, in [I]theory[/I] they can change everything, in [I]theory[/I] they can make the game look different and better, in [I]theory[/I] the beta will not represent the final product. In reality? It will.
Yes, can wait for APB to come out in Australia. Oh wait, it's been fucking canceled down here.
the game is fun with friends but hey your choice
I made my character a fat guy with an afro. When I zoom in, my guy blocks the whole screen
Stopped downloading when i realized it wasn't worth waiting a whole day for it to finish downloading.

This reminds me of that AvP demo thread.
I like the character creation, its like Sims 3 on crack.
