Normally I don't care about betas, but I'm not about to turn down the chance to kill some glitchy Ewoks... arise Darth Poppinslops!

Open beta is the way to go, the more feedback the better. Can't wait to force choke someone!

TheBurger293919d ago

Open to the public, love it! I'm not sure if I want this game yet but the beta will let me give it a test run.

Thunder_G0d_Bane3918d ago

I will play the beta, but Halo 5, Fallout 4 and The Taken King will be making sure i don't spend anything on any other shooters.

No battlefront or Blops 3 for me no sir....

I don't particularly understand when they do a preorder requirement anyways. Anyone could just buy from Amazon, play the beta, and then cancel the order without paying anything. Or maybe they are banking on consumers not understanding that they can do that.

pompombrum3918d ago

So they can brag about preorder numbers probably

Well thanks EA that is awfully kind of you sure it used to be the norm , but lately you have to have your tongue down the back of publishers trousers to get into a beta . So three cheers and a tiger for you EA you do have a heart after all lol even though its black mechanical and rather unfeeling.

mhunterjr3918d ago

Really? The norm? The majority of games don't have public betas at all, and many betas are closed.

urwifeminder3918d ago

Yes well for me getting into betas in the past just meant signing up not buying anything or pre ordering a simple email .

mhunterjr3918d ago

Well if a company is planning to have a closed beta, it might make more economical sense to ensure that the people who get invited are actually interested in the title, and may not even use their beta key...

Instead of wasting an invite on someone who might have no intentions of buying the game, this is a way to Invite only those folks who are committed to playing it... You get better, more reliable feedback that way...

These open betas are usually really just MP demos... The often come too late in the development process to really have an impact on the final game...

urwifeminder3918d ago

Well you are talking open and closed betas I am talking about getting into a beta in general different topic.

mhunterjr3918d ago

What I'm saying is most betas are closed, but you claim that they are normally easy to get into...
