FI_FlimFlam Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Good Luck Spook. Keep your chin up as much as you can. We're rooting for ya. I feel a bit dirty. I scarfed a buddy's FP login, and joined the Beta using my email. He's not going to test it so he won't mind. For those of you interested. Find a friend who has a FP subscription, then just use your information for the Beta application. It doesn't check or verify it with the FP subscription. Now if anyone from GRIN is reading this, I wouldn't have had to do this if you guys could get UBI to get their act together.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means do not use one of someone who is actually going to test it, or his will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I guess it's a good thing i signed up today... mine is downloading to pc at home (gotta love remote) and i e-mailed myself the key + forum key See you all in beta (if not after) I'm betting subscribers get 1st crack at the keys then it will open up afterward. FP is like this most of the time. I'll be keeping a hawk's eye over the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the beta testing for patches they sent emails to players to download the beta patch. But this is by far the hugest soup sandwich I've ever seen in a gaming company. by the fact gamespy is used yet again and the screenshot here I don't think they adjusted or made the clipping distance fixes. people say, "well the hardware can't handle it." well, maybe, but that was an issue early on in GR as well. so my optimism is fading...

Hmm it was, a smal one but there were a beta test before Graw1. They held it at GRiN in Stockholm and it was for some invited few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsrredcobra Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 ok let me get this straight we are supposed to pay $40 to beta test a game for ubi so that it doesn't have bugs,so that ubi can sell this game for $50 and make a $90 profit off of us??Makes sense if u work for ubi,but not to me.I understand a reason to beta test the game before it hits the shelf but paying to do it makes no sense.If this is really the way its going to work ill wait until crysis comes out on EA and graw 2 can sit on the shelf as a $29 game right next to its twin graw.

Papa6 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 you know, this reminds me, of a saying i once learned. It goes.. if something looks like a dog, acts like a dog and smells like a dog..It is a dog. paying $40 to test a beta of a game everyone to some degree is apprehensive about GRAW2 bcz of GRAW1, then UBISOFT and Grin can keep their game. to me , this is tantamount to how GRAW went, all the hype and excitement only to be BS'd. I don't know about you lads and lasses but, I'm thinking that Ubisoft is fast becoming another developer of those games that sell for $19.95 on release.

IrishStout Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I am just curious? I do not want to come to any conclusion yet until I know all the facts. Is the only way to Beta Test GRAW2 is with a subscription to FilePlanet or one of it's subsidiaries? Has anyone received an invitation who is not a subscriber and actually DL the beta? ("please tell me yes, not because it would mean I have not been choosen but because this will be yet another unsuccesfully managed event by UBI") ("I really like GRIN and I am trying to really like UBI but the make it sooo hard") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamespy is THE WORST online gaming multiplayer system there is. back in the day it was good and did fairly well but, now it's just crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than support GRAW1 with some $19 expansion packs (ala [GR]), UBISHAFT moves right to the sequel with another $50 price tag... and then they want people to pay $40 help them TEST it?

Well, reading this thread there are some who apparently are going to participate in the beta test but I cannot believe Ubi forcing the beta through GameSpy and requiring subscriptions to do so. That ranks right up there with the idea of putting screen doors on a submarine... just a little brainpower would tell someone that requiring a $40 subscription for a BETA test might not seem a terribly "customer friendly" idea. That being said, if you've already spent $40 for GameSpy (as some apparently have done) then it's essentially free to you and I say Good Luck in testing. Personally, this ranks up there with Ubi delaying GRAW2/PC without so much as an announcement... a total and complete lack of respect for their market. -jk Callsign 3Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 You all make it sound like Ubi is getting the money for signing up for Fileplanet and that the money only allows you to do the GRAW 2 beta instead of all the other crap that a file planet account has. It's just pathetic that people instantly blame Ubi for this. Anyone realize that FilePlanet has done this in the past? They give their paid members benefits, that's why you PAY! You PAY to be allowed to beta test a new game, access to demos a few days early, etc etc. Some people need to quit their bitching and look around before they open their mouths again.

Ubi is the one that RUNS (authorizes, administers, etc) the beta... they could have run this privately with Grin without GameSpy/FilePlanet. The root cause of the decision is UBI... not GameSpy/FilePlanet. And don't think for a moment that Ubi isn't getting a little kickback from GameSpy/FilePlanet for letting them run the beta... please... -jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
