Title: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Mupepe on April 30, 2008, 03:50:42 PM: what do i need to do?

Post by: Rman on April 30, 2008, 03:54:16 PM: You need a beta code which was distributed via the pre-order bonus MSG Saga Volume 2 disc.

Did you pre-order MGS4?

I did. But I didn't get the bonus disk. My local GS was sold out :(

Post by: duckman2000 on April 30, 2008, 03:55:31 PM: I pre-ordered the LE, and got the key with the pre-order bonus. Which is ridiculous since I ~~hate~~ don't particularly like MGS, but I'm a dork for nice looking LE boxes.

MGO is shit, by the way.

I have a feeling Gamecrazy and EB/GS are all out of the DVDs. Check Best Buy.

Well I'll be buying MGS4 anyways, might as well get something for free

Post by: The Fake Shemp on April 30, 2008, 04:45:19 PM: No, you'll pay for it in frustration. You'll have to downloaded multiple patches, get a Konami ID, etc.

It's not worth the time. Just buy Metal Gear Solid 4 and forget MGO exists.

It's not that bad. Just make sure you pick P2P as download method, and have some patience while it picks up speed. Registering the Konami id, and game id (it doesn't use the PSN id :wtf) is where people have ran into trouble, but it should be fairly smooth by now.

Post by: Mupepe on April 30, 2008, 05:28:20 PM: well i'm going to best buy after work anyways, so i'll see if they still have any.

Post by: Mupepe on April 30, 2008, 05:53:37 PM: wait, where/how do i change download methods?

It will let you choose between HTTP and P2P when you download the updates.

Post by: hyp on April 30, 2008, 08:50:45 PM: make sure to turn on the 360 as well and play GTAIV while that shit is downloading. took me over 6 hours.

Post by: pilonv1 on April 30, 2008, 09:46:38 PM: buy any Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon/SOCOM, put a patch over an eye and start smoking. it's better than playing shitty MGO.
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Sho Nuff on April 30, 2008, 11:50:18 PM: Go buy a copy of The Outfit for $5, the online is better than MGO
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Mupepe on May 01, 2008, 12:55:02 AM: The Outfit? That's pretty harsh. I'll install this stuff tomorrow. When does it end?
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Rman on May 01, 2008, 11:45:41 AM: Wow. The patches barely download. Is Konami using two servers or something. My progress bar was stuck a zero percent for two hours.

Japas fail at ronrine

Post by: Mupepe on May 02, 2008, 01:22:29 AM: oh my fucking god.

i thought i was downloading both updates at once! and why the fuck do they actually make you downgrade??? that's fucking dumb! agh
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 02, 2008, 01:28:35 AM: You will spend more time updating than you will playing, because the game sucks. It was a total waste of time. SELL YOUR PS3 IN PROTEST!!!
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Mupepe on May 02, 2008, 01:30:44 AM: I could have been watching a movie or something! Or playing Heavenly Sword!!!

Also, when I'm downloading something from the PSN store, it says "download in background" but when I start watching a movie or something it either goes SUPER slow or stops? THAT'S NOT THE BACKGROUND!
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: duckman2000 on May 02, 2008, 01:33:58 AM: Aahaha, what? They don't offer the separate updates in one download bundle? :lol

Movies from the HDD work, but I'm not sure it works for actual disc based movies.

in fairness the second patch is very small. but still to download 700mb for the game then 700mb for the first patch is fucking gay
Title: Re: so how do i get into the MGO beta?
Post by: Mupepe on May 02, 2008, 11:35:25 AM: Played it last night. Pretty fucking gay. Time wasted confirmed? I'm going to give it another shot tonight
