I don't understand what exactly brought on the collective tantrum. Yeah, the virtual goods are a monumental waste, but if you're willing to pay real money for something that doesn't exist, you get what you deserve. You aren't forced to participate. The captains quarters are a non-issue, you still have the same access to the original interface. And again, you aren't forced to use it. From what I can see a bunch of crybabies rage-quit because they can no longer spin their ships in the hanger.

I'm also very disappointed how the iPod touch is still the same. I was hoping for 128GB finally as my 64GB is getting quite low.

Why do game designers have to cater for every choice under the sun when it's their baby!

And? id games have had longevity.

I've played Quake more hours than every other game I've ever played combined.

How many hours did you get from Doom 3?


Good job, though, on claiming you got more hours out of a 16 year old game than a 7 year old game.

id gets bought by Bethesda.

In the past decade Bethesda has brought us Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3, with New Vegas being outsourced.
In the past decade id has brought us Doom 3 with Quake 4, Quake Wars and 2 Wolfensteins being outsourced.

I'm thinking being acquired by Bethesda was a good thing for this game.

External server browsers are so 1998.

We go from having to use QuakeSpy to ingame server browsers back out to a webpage? This isn't QuakeLive. The game needs a ingame browser.

As for the alt+tab and alt+f4 being a acceptable method why don't we just end task the game while we are at it?

The hoops you gotta go through to get into a game to even change your options or settings is retarded.

Yes, yes it is. For those not in the beta, you have to be in-game to change your settings. That is, actually playing in a round. You can't change them if you are dead. You can't change them if you haven't spawned. So in order to fiddle around with your game settings, you have to spawn into the game, and hope that no one sees you and kills you. Why? Because as soon as you are killed, the settings screen closes, and you have to start all over again - once you've respawned.

Sheer idiocy, and if they release the game in that state, I'll be pretty pissed. The only reason I'm giving them a pass is because of the hope that this is merely a beta restriction, and won't be present in the final game.

I was watching the TotalBiscuit video preview of the beta last night while waiting for the beta to download and he was saying he joined in the game, started changing his settings then he was booted from the game for inactivity. Whoever made that decision and to have friendly fire on in the beta was a really smart person.

I was just disappointed that Tripwire thought it was ok to release RO2 like this.

Wait until they release BF3 in a month. Based on the beta feedback from friends (I know it is a beta) it is a freakin mess. The hoops you gotta go through to get into a game to even change your options or settings is retarded. At least with RO2 within 30 seconds of the game launches I am joining into a MP match, and that is something awesome these days with the whackjob server browsers some games have.

Just play FlatOut. The most recent one fixed a good amount of the flaws of the original.

Destruction Derby was fun, but if you think back to it you basically spent the whole time driving in reverse. I think we were easier to please back then.
