I've been installing the GTAs today, and it really made clear the changes, because all's fine enough till you hit IV. Then it's a damn pain in the ass. NOT earlier games that are decades old in some cases, those do run easy, and right away. What kind of improvement's that? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28042 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:39:45 +0000 jacobvandy 28042@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@DSB "Instant Action" or "Quick Match" or whatever you want to call it has been around since before internet-enabled consoles existed. I distinctly remember being able to join a game of Counter-Strike 1.5 (circa ~2000) with a single click, which was an option available alongside browsing servers. I have no problem with it being offered for people that want to do that, but is in no way a replacement for the freedom of choosing your own server to join based on your own set of parameters (beyond acceptable ping and slots available). </p> <p>By the by, Battlefield games have also had a quick join button, despite being based on dedicated servers. IW.net is a piss-poor attempt at controlling online play that forces people into using peer-to-peer hosting, which is far, far inferior to the experience offered by stable servers with high-speed connections. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28039 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:53:54 +0000 DSB 28039@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Really I think the hysteria surrounding antiquated technologies like server browsers makes PC gamers look dumber than anything else.</p> <p>Personally I like the opportunity to jump into a perfectly normal game at the touch of a button. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28031 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:13:56 +0000 Ireland Michael 28031@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@YoungZero The absence of the truth is still a lie. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28030 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:16:51 +0000 Sherif Saed 28030@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>to be honest I expected a much harsher reaction<br /> I guess this was posted to the wrong crowd...</p> <p>and I also guess that having to not tell the truth and WILLINGLY say dedicated servers KNOWING everyone is going to expect to get their NORMAL dedicated servers just like EVERY OTHER FUCKIN GAME(ranked via a GSP)</p> <p>Fuck you Mr. Bowling I will say it here just like I said it to you on twitter, fuck your shitty useless PR, fuck your company's policy to mislead PC gamers.</p> <p>its a really sad that when he said touted dedis every outlet reported it but not now </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28027 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:55:19 +0000 Yoshi 28027@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@PC Trolls, are you fucking serious?</p> <p>@G1GA, ever played MW2?

You just do it seperately from everyone else who isn't on your server.</p> <p>(If true) I think this is primarily supposed to stop people from setting up ranked private servers where one shot from your weapon gives you enough points to reach the top rank.</p> <p>In other words... 'cheats'. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5161#post-28015 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:50:27 +0000 Yoshi 28015@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@G1GA, Unless they have sorted their piece of shit match making out then this is a very bad thing.
