Wow...you know, I wonder what happened to this game.  There was so much hype for it a few months ago.  That eventually dissipated into nothing - now the game is out, and not only is nobody talking about it, no one seems to be able to play it, either.

Well I've seen my friend play the beta and the full game, and I seriously can't understand how people can actually enjoy this game.

Well just listen to what Jeff was saying, even if  he finally got in he was getting d/c , and most of the time the servers were always down and had a lot of problems. I remember when I got into the beta it was so frustrating, I finally would get in a server then it would exit me, I just gave up after the second day. Sounds like it was never improved even from that...so sad, yet I kinda expected it. I'm not one to immediately jump all over a different dev, but I could tell from the start Slant 6 wasn't going to do zipper justice in this game, especially since they tried to make it almost exactly how it was on PS2, and in doing so ended up with so many problems, plus busted servers...besides no evolution what so ever, it still didn't even do Socom  or Socom 2 justice imo.

It doesn't surprise me...even if they don't consider all the issues the game had with installing etc. I played the beta and it still played like the original Socom to me. Where is the change? The innovation? Compared to what's out there right now...the game just doesn't control that well in my eyes.

Haha I'm not surprised. I played the beta, looked at the release date and figured it was never, ever, EVER going to be ready.

lawl.

This is unfortunate -- but I think Zipper is working on their own Socom game for the PS3.

They will do it right.

Wow, was not expecting THAT low, but by the sounds of the bugs and the fact that it just sounds broken probably adds to it.

The reason that no one is talking about it is probably because no one is able to play it. No matter how well a game plays if it is working, if it isn't working that is a flaw in the game itself and if you can't play the game then it deserves such a low score.

Yea...it's called MAG :P"

"No -- I'm pretty sure they are actually working on another Socom game, and MAG. I could be wrong, but I remember reading something about it not too long ago.

None the less, I'm excited for MAG."

I don't think it should have gotten that low of a score, but it's just not a good game.

I have yet to play Confrontation, but I still might buy this game, despite the abuse that IGN gave it.

Man  i really wanted Socom to succeed damn, the PS3 community should be playing it but for typical sony

Sad to see the apple has fallen far from the tree. I've only played the first SOCOM but it was great, and it gave me my first console online experience.

I laugh at how so many guys on the comments of that review are saying that the review score is too low and blah blah blah, that they are being unfair to the game, and that it's gotten much better with recent patches and such.

Excellent game. It's really buggy and was practically unplayable at first, but from a mechanical standpoint, it's great. I would play a functioning version of this game over any other shooter of this generation without giving it a second thought. Tactical shooters > every other type of shooter for me.

Wow...

"Wow..."

This saddens me actually.  I loved the original SOCOM and I was definetely going to download this when I get my PS3, if everything I here is true though I might even not get a PS3 and get a new graphics card instead.  Theres plenty of PC games coming out in the next few months anyway.

Yeah, The Game was a disaster. Couldnt even get into a game in the Beta
