I'm still not touching that.
I would say something about how all the hype killed MGO as everybody zerged Konami servers, but I'd get downvoted to hell and accused of trolling by SDF.Even though I my response would be making a genuine point.
Hell, that's what happened with my VirtualConsole(Phantasy Star III I think) comment.

I got a chance to play this game at Comic-con. I thought it was alright. Nothing special though.

Wait what? I'm just giving an honest opinion. It looks like it'll be a fun game. But it isn't anything extraordinary.

It's not a bad game, it's just that if you have the same expectations for this game as you would for MGS4, you're going to be disappointed.

I'll add you but you actually have to create a name for your character and that's what you have to add as a friend in-game. As if it couldn't get more confusing. haha.

Can someone tell me if there is a way to get the code if I am waiting on the US MGS4 bundle? If I go to gamestop and reserve will I still get to try the beta?

I dont know if gamestop still has preorders. But you can go, preorder, pay the 5 bucks and then cancel and get your five bucks after, or put it towards the bundle.
Or go on Ebay. i think that there is someone selling theirs.

It won't let me download the newest update (1.2 or 1.0.2, whatever it is) so I can't even play it! I keep getting a server error message (I have to use HTTP, I can't use Bittorrent in my dorm). WTF?

Just played it for a bit. It's not groundbreaking but it's entertaining. Surprisingly, deathmatch was my favorite game mode and it's not original at all.
