First Capcom with the Okami box art thing, and now this.
Metal Gear Online is a online third person shooter for the PS3 that takes place in the MGS4 world. Well if you preordered MGS4, you get the Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2. It's a documentary on the MGS franchise. Vol. 1 was a preorder bonus on Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.
In Saga Vol. 2, there's a code to play the Metal Gear Online Beta, a sneak peak with 2 maps and a fraction of the game modes. Well Konami has been pretty damn stupid about it.
In a perfect world This is what you have to do:
1) Go to Konami's ID game and create an account.
2) Enter the beta key in your PS3
3) Download and Install Beta
4) Start the beta on April 21st
Perfect world.... This thing's been a pain in my ass.
The process is dumb, you need 2 IDs and 2 passwords, a PC one and a Game one, can't be universal. The IDs cannot be the same and so do the passwords, one password is alphanumerical and one just numerical. That's a minor gripe though cause there's more, the site is bugged. You randomly are hit with a "you start over cause you were inactive" even though you weren't. After a few days, I finally got through.
Luckily I didn't have that problem, but some beta keys didn't have all the digits. Leaving some out on their luck.
It's already a pain in the ass with d/l stuff like demos with the PS3 (too slow and installing afterwards) after you do all that, you have to update it, not like you d/l the latest version(how do you update something that's not out yet?) Well there's 2 ways on d/l the update, through Konami(which doesn't work) or...P2P through Bittorrent... I'm serious. That update took 5 tries and 10 hours.
Damn thing delayed til sometime in May.
Nice first impression Konami, now do the right thing and dump MGO on 360 so I get the nice features of Xbox Live so crap like this doesn't happen. Can't wait for the actual game to screw up.
Ok I'm venting. But that was plain unprofessional.
