Yeah I have today off so I'll be on almost all day playing socom. I look forward to gaming with some TG gamers on there.
See you on the Battlefield, Desode

I just got the game yesterday.

My PSN is ITHDI hope to play with some TGers soon.

Oh fie! I hear the game is delayed in European territories... The Americans get the best first, again! :P It is especially annoying, because it has been delayed, even though they never announced a release date for Europe in the first place. No official announcement yet, but all the stores are saying so.

If anyone has any info on this, please post it. Thanks.

I picked it up. My hard drive is too freakin tiny But it's supposedly installing :/

I'll pick up a new hard drive this weekend at frys and see about swapping them

[Adombom]

Sirusblk: I hope it works out for you! I saw you hop on a little earlier!

DESODE: Sorry I didn't play a bit with you guys earlier today, I wanted to wait for the headset to be fully charged. Man does that thing ever hurt my ear though! I'm sure I'll get used to it after a little while, or so I hope!

Once the servers stop getting beat up we'll have to arrange something so all of us here can get into a server and play ATLEAST one match!

All in all I'm pretty pleased with the game. There's a few issues to iron out and there's a few features missing that they said were going to be in the game (like the party system and quick-matching), so I'm thinking there's a patch coming soon enough. Now that they're not under the "fix it as much as possible before the release date" wire, they should be able to put some more QA to the patches and make everything run a little smoother!

Harpo: I think I heard that the EU release date was Nov. 27 or something like that. If you wanted it any earlier, you'd probably have to either import it, or maybe even make a North American account to get on the NA Playstation Store to purchase it, although I'm not sure if that would work. I know the game's not region locked though, so that's a bonus!

Ill see if I can get it where I work. I have a 10% off and I have a 30$ worth of giftcards.
There's just too many games coming out this month...

SOCOM
FABLE II
FALLOUT III
LITTLE BIG PLANET

dont have enough money to buy them all

[Harpo245]

November 27th!? Why!? What's the big difference between the games that they have to delay the European version a month? Ah well. I must press on... Might get Far Cry 2 to fill the gap. Also, I never knew Fallout was out this month?

Back to SOCOM, if it isn't region locked, then I could get it. Also, with the Dollar to the Euro, it would be pretty cheap. I'll see about it. Thanks for the info guys.

So far I am very dissapointed with the game. The game seems to sync up every single facet of the game with an online connection. (your online connection lags, your menus lag). Seriously I have a decent connection but I spend so much time at loading screens, only to join a menu, for which I must navigate through pointless options (all equally dissatisfying).

Seriously why do I have to Play Game --> Play Custom Match (this is the only option btw) --> Join Channel (of which only 256 players are allowed into each, WTF?!) --> Then finally join game, which in my experience means not even working half the time.

Also I can't customize the controls and the default and all the alternatives just don't fit. You supposedly can customize the controls, but try it and you really can't. Why not? Down right no excuse.

I understand that they're experiencing server overload but still the game should be able run fine around the essential server retrievals. I should be able to navigate a menu without any lag. Not to mention the endless loops of (can't communicate with the server) which essentially locks up your whole game. Tsk Tsk!

Overall very unpolished. I won't even get into the actual gameplay and crappy graphics (flat textures without a hint of bump mapping). But a game where I spend more time in menus than actual gameplay? And it's not twice as much or even three times as much, it's over four times as much time spent out of gameplay just to get to the option of playing. And when you get there it is very dissatisfying. And let us not forget this isn't even the retail version, it's patched, it's 1.10. I shudder to think of what retail was.

I'm so glad I picked up Dead Space at the same time, I'd hang myself if I was stuck with just Socom. I gave up on Socom over having to deal with crap for over three to four hours straight, got into Dead Space and had the time of my life.

[Xmaster]

Thanks sirus.

I will buy socom at a later date. wait for the devs to patch the game up and iron out all the problems. then will consider buying this game...

[Desode]

This is the way all Socom games have been for the first week or 2.
They will fix it , just like they have done in the past. I have been playing in the mornings and had no problems at all. Then around 3pm eastern things get Fugly. I think thats because all the kiddies are getting how from school. I will say they had better get that party system in there soon though ! As for the graphics they are alright, put for me its all about the gameplay and when its running smooth in the mornings I think it has some of the best tactical gameplay on console, Period.

Word.

As as for smoother games in the morning...well its normal. The player base is smaller in the morning than it is around 15h00. Since most kids are coming back from school around this time. And most people are coming back from work around 17h00 or 21h00.

I'm toying with the idea of getting this. The real bummer is that the PS3 I have is actually my roommates, so at the end of the year I'll have to give it up.
