Poll: R.U.S.E. free weekend.

[philosophicalbastard]

So the R.U.S.E. free weekend has been out for a few days and I have created this topic to discuss the Escapist's general opinion of R.U.S.E.

I have so far enjoyed the game and will most likely buy.

Edit:The poll is missing for some reason, anyone know why?

 

[Mr. Gency]

I tried it and I could literally count the seconds (3) it took for the game to do what I told it to, but that's not Ubisoft's fault.

Sounds like a mighty case of lag you got there.

 

[Radeonx]

I'm finding it to be an incredibly mediocre game, and have no plans at all to buy it.

 

[Pielikey]

Steam servers are too busy to handle my request

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I played it the last time they had a free trial. I thought it was ok, but I'm not into RTS games...

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Doesn't it have that always on Ubisoft DRM? I was going to try it, but when I saw the tag about the DRM I decided I didn't even want to download a free trial.

 

[Kapol]

I tried it, but I just couldn't figure out how to play it correctly. I mean, I understood the general concepts (building other buildings, sending soldiers to attack, etc.) but I just couldn't really figure out everything. A tutorial would have helped. Then again, it might be because I'm not the RTS type. I prefer turn-based stratagy. So I won't be buying it, but it was interesting.

I know my computer's the problem. All I have to do is upgrade the video card.

 

[mad825]

I sense another cold war game....

R.U.S.E. takes place within the World War II time period.

....ahh, it worse than I thought so nope, no, never will I never play a new WW2 game, company of heros will be the last of it.

3 seconds? BAH

Us Australians get 10 years of lag on Modern Warfare 2!

Is it the game's fault or the computer's fault?

 

[Mr. Gency]

Is it the game's fault or the computer's fault?

It's the ping, actually. Australia is quite far away from most other "Western" countries, so when Australians try to play online, if they connect to anywhere that isn't Australia, they get hit with loads of lag.

Well, at lest the games still run normally. I, on the other hand, can't even play most modern games offline.

 

[Slavik_91]

All the factions/countries/sides feel exactly the same and use the same support power things, and among other things the gameplay it's just dull and boring.

On Xbox actually, as a wise man above me said its mainly due to Australia's location and trouble connecting to the outside world.

Be so much better if there was a local search only featurey thing.

Oh yeah and that 'TrueSkill matchmaking' thing that almost all console games have is ridiculous.

I feel bad for PC users, lotsa PC games are boredline broken without dedicated servers, I heard MW2's pc version had like a 80% decrease in popularity in some places, and I think Rage and some other games coming out soon will have that damn matchmaking stuff too.

 

[pSY'oniK]

Tried the game during its beta phase (RTS fan here) but there is a number of things which piss the hell outta me. First of all its about as intuitive as having to breakdance on a thin wire in front of your house, above the eternal pit of damnation, filled with little bean eating imps in order to get your door open only to find that a new set of challenges was introduced in order to operate the door knob... so yeah. It lacks in my opinion speed as well. Its about as fast paced as someone with tourettes trying to win a spelling bee. But in case you are fine with the before mentioned issues you can give it a try ...

Oh man theres alot more than that.
But MW2 is just about the only multiplayer game I have other than Halo.
