It's a double edged sword. On the one hand I sort of expected this because A) this shit always happens and B) this game is still like 8-9 months away, which led me to believe that this is an actual, real stress test/beta and not a glorified demo, on the other hand developers have gotten people used to Beta's being glorified demos because they have used them as preorder incentives for so long now. Yes we all know what a beta really "technically" is, but you know damn well Capcom is selling this as "Preorder now to play the game early!!!" not "Preorder now to sit in front of your TV for a couple of hours while we test our server loads!" Once you start selling these things on Amazon and Gamestop you are going to run into the crowd that doesn't care and just wants to play what they were promised.
 
You do not have to be in the beta you know.
If you can not handle bugs and issues, betas are not for you.
Honestly. People will bitch about a anything. Not every game has a beta and it's disastrous at launch. I hope because of these problems now we avoid it later.

Oh sorry I missed your previous post because you were on my ignore list.

I'm more miffed at the concept of selling betas to customers than anything.
 
People do realize there's more than one beta right? If this one is terrible, it's not like your preorder bonus/incentive was somehow ruined. More is coming.
 
Ah, the Beta Cycle.

The people complaining they can't get on and the people defending that its a beta.

Meanwhile, in the middle, this was the main marketing tool used to entice people to pre-order the game. So far, nada. So...the needle probably favors the people who would like to play since they went through the trouble of putting down money (not any people who scammed Amazon).


So the beta should run flawlessly because people had to preorder the game?

Oh well, hopefully it'll work better tomorrow, shame because I really wanted to try it. :(
