    I'll give you three reasons why. 

    1. Localised region filtering matchmaking option  
    2.  Localised region filtering matchmaking option
    3.  Localised region filtering matchmaking option 
     
    (full disclosure: I probably won't buy the game but) HOT DAMN SOMEONE'S GETTING MY LETTERS. Every single damn game in the whole frickin universe HAS TO HAVE THIS OPTION. 
     
    Sorry I'm going a bit nuts on the caps but how is it 2010 and developers are just now realising that people who live outside America do not like having their experience ruined by always having to connect to American hosts. 
     
    No surprise it took a developer from outside the states to make this happen. 
     
    Well done Bizarre. You rock.

    You know what would be great? If I could browse server listings on console games just like I could in Gears of War (1). Although without the insane host advantage.

    The greatest developers of all time will be the ones who incorporate a pause system into their damn game.  When there are 5-minute long cutscenes and there's no pause button (as START will skip it and the Guide Button won't always pause everything), it's really, really irritating having to restart my console or something if I have to go answer the door or the phone or something.  We're 2010!  How the FUCK does this universal PAUSE button not exist yet?  It should be a freakin' button on the controller itself.

    Oh man, the amount of times I've said the words "Busy! Cutscene." in my life. I'd love a universal pause button.

    I think all this ridiculousness should be left behind and we return to server browsers 100 percent.

    I knew this about Bizarre when they released Project Gotham Racing 2. Which, to this day, is the world's only perfect video game.

    @Rowr: I thought if you wanted to, you could choose a reigon in the options menu for the playlists 
     
    That's how people cheated on lone wolves to get all those achievements, by going into the Chinese reigons

    Eternal Sonata does this.
    Start pauses the cutscene and brings up "A" to continue, "B" to skip cutscene.

    See, that should be a necessity for any game, especially RPGs.  It can't be that hard to implement.  Maybe we should even have a concept page: "Pausable cutscenes".

    It'd be even better if you could pause life and watch the end of your cutscene in peace.  Maybe in 2020.

    But do they have server browsing that lets you specify the area around you? Didn't think so. And that was what this thread was about.

    Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 now does this, making the game infinitely better than what it was. 

    Blur however has been pretty enjoyable thus far, ignoring the bugs (cause let's face it, it is an ACTUAL beta)
