Worst multiplayer launch in history?

[Matt21]

 

if you cant handle online gaming on day one.

don't sell millions of copies and tell everyone it will be ready.

 

most of those entitled brats would have waited until the holiday season for a bug free launch and we wouldn't be here. instead they took our money and gave us a release date followed by a launch date and then decided to let this clusterf*ck happen because eventually it would work out without spending anymore money. then let all the fanboys call everyone else a whiney brat for expecting the product to work as promised.

Once again another dumb f*ck! IT WAS NEVER PROMISED TO WORK! You got a link to back this up...Wait do you know what a link is???? That said every f*cking headline said this game would not run smooth of the start period! Expect glicthes,cloud errors (This server saves your game you understand???) and server errors are likely.

f*cking kids wow

 

why do people like you insist on defending greedy corporations like rockstar games? there are clear problems yet you still blindly defend them

[Black Rabbit]

Can people please quite saying that R* made a billion

 

 

 

 

Can people quite saying that R* made a billion+ dollars. Do you really not grasp how retail sales work? You think your $60 went straight into R*s pockets? No...first, they put in around $300 million up front to produce the game and promote. They sell the game to retailers for 'x' amount of money, the retailers then mark the game up to $60 from there.

This is not even close to the worst MP launch in history. Way to exaggerate.

This. He must have just started gaming yesterday.

Than get rid of your game. If you hate this greedy company that brings you a great game like GTA f*cking throw it out and do not play! You greedy little f*cking punk!

[ONEkingscar]

As far as for my own personal experience, yea this is the worst. I think us PS3 users will have to wait till Tuesday for an update to actually play since PSN only updates in Tuesdays.

I am giving them till thursday otherwise I am selling my copy of GTA V.

Agreed, there's a bunch of morons on here. A billion dollars from GTA V...lmfao.

Aww hahah you sound mad you uptight little baby. Keep sucking R* dick. 1 billion + in sales, take 5 years+ to develop the game delaying it in the process, DELAY the online portion of the game for an extra 2 weeks to finish up the multiplayer and they STILL can't get right. Read and weep imbecile.

[SpidersWeb]

I can't think of a worse one maybe sim city but I didn't play that , thoughts ?

 

SimCity

Diablo 3

 

Heaps of others. It's only been 1 day, and the game has a full single player mode.

 

So no, this is far from being the worst. It's a little worse than I expected, but it's not mind blowing or amazingly bad or anything like that.

You'll just have to wait a few more days.

[rmk808]

Not the worst...but I never expected something like this from a usually solid company like R*

 

especially with the whole 2 week wait, that's what irritates me

[MisterRawgers]

Lol I love the army of R* fanboys, blindly defending a greedy deceiving company. Good luck, kids.

[Vexikuri]

EQ - SoL was up there as well.

I'm not a fanboy, I just understand how technology works. This applies to any game with online multiplayer...not just R* games.

I have an understanding of networks , the fact is is they had enough servers there would not be a problem ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

Eh... clearly you don't understand at all. What is happening right now is essentially a DDOS attack on their servers. millions of people are trying to connect at once. When Anonymous, Lulsec and whoever else were launching actual DDOS attacks against actual government infrasturcture(you know, important stuff), they brought their systems down with WAY less force than is actually happening to R*. Do you have any idea how many servers would be needed to cater for the sheer millions trying to connect at the minute? Or how big the server farm room would have to be? Or how much it would cost to cool them? Maintain them? Only for a large chunk of people to emigrate over to COD in November and never come back. No you don't. You're just another cry baby who thinks he knows everything...

 

Oh and to people comparing this to COD midnight releases, COD uses peer to peer (users host the games) as opposed to servers like R* are using.

 

 

I don't (understand the tech stuff either)...but that's the point...shouldn't they have? Millions of people connecting at once...nobody ever thought that might happen? Especially at making people wait two weeks to play which I wondered as did others if that was a wise decision (the hype and excitement aspect of it). I mean I don't work for Rockstar and I could have played soothsayer and told them that this was going to sell on a massive scale which is why I was not shocked by all the record sales figures...not even the billion dollar mark. They played it a little too modest (or cheap) either way as I said on another thread I don't sympathize with big business as we've seen with this game capitalism is doing just fine even when s*** doesn't work.

Or how about your coding skills?

 

Or maybe your 3d modeling skill?

 

Or how about just textures.

 

Until you can prove you would do better, you're nothing more than an entitled kid who thinks this sh*t is easy.

[PoeticWhisper]

If you think this is the worst launch in history then you're stupid, I'm sorry to say. I managed to get online within like the first hour. People on PS3 got to play today. People here over exagerate

Agreed. Hell, I STILL haven't been able to get on since yesterday at about 9am, but I'm not a whiny little b*tch like most here. They expected to be having high-speed chases yesterday at 12:00am...lmfao

[MeerkatMan]

Test drive unlimited 2 was a lot worse than this!

[Chameleon314]

I have 3 issues with how online isn't working.

 

1. This isn't rockstars first attempt at multiplayer so you'd expect things to run smoother than their previous games especially GTA4.

2. If they knew there would be problems with the launch then why not wait a little bit longer to fix them?

3. Now we have no inkling of when it will be fixed. If I knew hours, day. or a week then we wouldn't keep trying to get it to work and probably making it harder for them to fix the issue.

Here we go with these stupid irrelevent counter arguments. All of that is besides the point.

Also if I remember right a similar thing happened with max payne

Imagine you're the man in charge of budgeting at R*. Do you give the networking team another 10m to boost the servers up to 2m capacity? Knowing full well that in less than a month, peak population won't crest 100k daily.

 

Could they fix this by adding more hardware? Sure. Is it a wise financial decision? No way.

 

Read this again, if you don't get it. R* could've profited a trillion dollars from this game, and still not be interested in boosting their server farms. It's just not a wise financial decision, and they are a business after all.

While your intentions are good, this is a horrible way to illustrate your point. I'm almost positive there's a logical fallacy that explains exactly what you're doing here, I'm just too lazy to look up a fallacy table. As consumers, this is irrelevant.
