MGO Beta: Character creation
2008-04-21 16:28:08 by BlimBlim
The beta of Metal Gear Online has been delayed until the 25th, but our friend DjMizuhara still managed to at least get to the character creation system, and recorded this video.

The beta has really been such a nightmare. Just signing up was such a pain, when they could have just let it be a PSN download or something simple.
Now they've even delayed the US beta start (Konami even favors Europe to the US?). Has anyone been able to actually play the game yet? I'm worried it's going to be the laggiest game ever.

The game has been postponed in Japan until Midnight on the 25th of April...thats the furthest I got...I had been trying to get into the game for 4 or 5 hours!
Oh well...at least you'll be able to play it after the 25th and a few days later when GTA IV arrives the servers should be very quite! :D

Konami has a bad record with online this gen (just ask Pro Evolution Soccer fans lol).
I downloaded the Beta but just gave up waiting for the update (which was only like %15 after an hour).
I'm not that desperate to play it.
MGS has always been a personal experience for me anyway, I honestly think they should can this game, they are wasting their resources and not getting any results.
But hey if they can have it running properly at launch, of course I'll give it a go but really I'm not keeping my hopes up.
Unless they let some other company handle the online part of the game.

Although the P2P update was kinda cool in a way, it uses the Transmission bittorrent client.

Wha the character creation is awesome, so much customization, even the voices :P
The guy took the face look I am planning to take...anyway, very cool and detailed customization for such a game.
I just hope Konamim hurrys up with their problem so I can go at it and play the game, they should have atleast letting us create our character and just play around with the practice mode, which doesn't even take from the online perspective.

Sure Konami doesn't know anything about online gaming, but a company should start somewhere and I feel sorry for gamers giving Konami a harsh time for this beta.
I for one wish all the luck with MGO title and I hope they work their ways through to give us a good online only title...besides, this is a beta, it is better to screw over now than later, just means that they now know how much people want to go into this beta and all.
Konami good luck :)

I would have thought Konami would have NDA'd this beta from screens/videos, although I hate it when it's the case.

But non the less, best of luck for Konami with MGO and I hope they fix the issue so we can play the beta.

Talk about ultimate fucking lameness. I download this bleeding beta @ 700+ MB and as soon as I start it up I have to download an update which must be almost bigger than the demo itself...WTF?! Bloody demo won't download offcourse, got stuck at ~ 20% and got an server connection timeout/error!
I didn't even get to the part where you can register for the nightmare Konami ID, doing it on the internet wouldn't work either as the site was under maintenance.
Fucking useless...

i bet this wouldnt of happened if the beta codes were exclusively for the people who reserved the game. but since u dont have to reserve the game to get the codes thats were all hell broke loose. ....well im sure that was part of it. so i guess i wont trust those people who ask me to reserve stuff because if i do i will get a cool goody.

And while I can't speak for the rest of the world I had no problem getting an ID or downloading the v1.1 patch. In fact I was getting crazy upload speeds (200kb/s). My only problem was that they didn't let me limit it so I can DL faster. Took me 40 minutes.
I think people who were downloading it for hours straight just have no idea how bittorrent works (opening ports, cutting down on browsing, etc)
