PS3 Poll Police: How was your experience getting a Konami ID?

A lot of people have been clamoring to get a spot in the Metal Gear Online beta and for the most part, everyone's been allowed. A few hiccups with broken codes, but Konami has vowed to help those afflicted by such misfortunes. The Poll Police are on a quest this week to see how your experience signing up for this event has measured up compared to the horror stories circulating on PS3 forums worldwide.

Who the hell cares other than Xbox fans bitter over the game never coming out for their platform?

Every real PS3 owner has long since gotten their code, downloaded the game and patches and is ready to go whenever the beta officially goes live. Be that today, tomorrow, or whenever.

We'll be happily playing GT5P, Warhawk, Superstartdust HD, etc until the servers are up.

sonarus6480d ago

Common man no need to defend konami. They fvkd up and thats the bottom line ...cus stone cold said so.

Seriously though it really doesn't look like konami was ready for the MGS4 demand. Leaves me a bit worried over the state of MGO but i am glad this beta will give them the opportunity to iron out these issues.

tethered6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

How did they F-up? Remember this is the online beta people.

I have had my pre-order for 5 days and just today (20th April)I got registered.

Yes thats one whole day before it goes up. The little slip of paper I got with my pre-order says the beta starts on 21st April.

If the servers are up and running tomorrow then please explain to me how they F-up.

TruthBTold6480d ago (Edited 6480d ago )

but d@ammit it was worth it, I have been waiting longer for this game than the few hours it took me to get the id's, think I would give up when Im so close? Patience my fellow gamers, its almost here and when we finaly meet in MGO and all its glory we shall rejoice and celebrate and look back at all we went through to get there. I will see you all on the other side

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy1599d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head1599d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck1599d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief36241599d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon1599d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

GhostofHorizon1599d ago

Well... that's unfortunate.

Dark_Overlord1599d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK211599d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex1599d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK211599d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1651d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1651d ago (Edited 1651d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19823035d ago

BlaqMagiq13034d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
