Ruse Player Review (PS3)

[I-Lone-Wolf-I]

Ok so i drove for a half an hour t get to eb games, bought the game, well i was there i asked anyone if they were getting it for Ps3 or xbox the only answere i got was "hell no" should have been clue one.
Then i went home installed it an jumped right into skirmish, on wargamer, which is much more difficult in the game than it was in demo. Everything looked ok but beeing that i had already played the demo i new what to expect. However When i saw the production Cap, BTW i was going to pass when i was told it was 200, but in a 1v1 skirmish offline its only 100 after i built 10 admin buildings it was no problem to reach.
now i thought the demo was only letting you use 1 infantry unit so they did not spoil everything, well they were righ because any more infantry thats exactly what they would have done(and no i dont count upgradable units because once is upgraded your back to 2). some Italy does get 3 but n othe army does.
Strategicaly this game is a point ahead of all others well i had decided to try other difficulties to see what made Hard hard or Easy easy, in easy i built 32 Bombers as germany and attacked then enemy base think i had the win locked down, after all the buildings i could see were gone i saw 30-40 tanks and 10-15 infantry units heading for my base. since he never attacked me once i never set updeffences (also wanted to get as many units as possible). In sort What makes Easy easy, the enemy builds slower and usesa few less ruse cards. BTW happy middle is Medium. Hard is all about the rush, easy the AI is very secretive to have fun select medium.
Online, well i got into one game so how can i judge the online, wait that will do i go into one game and that was today, yesterday i tried for over half an hour and nothing today, I got in yay, but sadley either i finaly see what everyone says about the PSN or Ruse severs suck. The game lagged and the person i was playing There Mic had some interfernce since i was not useing my i could not here any of the game. Every 4-10 seconds a Message would pop up saying Ruse encounters problems with "this player", his name was where this player is after 5 mins of what i can only assume was lagg mixed wih mic interference i quit the game not the match the game.

Along with the Lagg, mic issue, inability to join a game, 50 unit cap for 2v2 and 100 for 1v1 and an a clear lack of want to play form any one of my PSN freinds Even the strat gamers i have Decided My original thought to pass on this was Correct. I give Ruse on the PS3 a very very Generous 2/10, on the PC i bet this game is unbeatable but on PS3 its the worse attempt i have ever seen, i Recomend you rent it first dont just buy like me no i got 70 dollars of store cred i gotta do somthing with.

Note this is not a review of Ruse This is a Review of Ruse on the PS3.

That's a shame.. someone posted a thread about the xbox version they said it was great. I know ps3 servers are rubbish but i didn't expect it to lag with just 4 players tho.

Most people should of known about the unit cap by now so that shouldnt be a biggie.

[AeroForceOne203]

I think its great. I have played multiple online matches and havent encountered lag where i was kicked from a game or the match was bad so it has to be your connection. Every rts on console has a unit cap so I dont see why people are still complaining. I thouhgt it was going to stay at 60 so I was very pleased when I saw that it was 100. I know its only 50 for 2v2 but i played an online 2v2 and still thought that was enough room. Over all I think this is the best rts on console to date and I dont see why people are complaing so much since it just came out yesterday. Lag can be mixed and minor glitches people may have can be fixed too. Just give it time

[Realplayer82]

I totally disagree with you. I am level 16 on ps3 and I dont have lag when I play online. Either the person you were playing had a bad connection or you did. If you dont like the game fine but dont ruin it for other people. Also to address what made to fade said about psn servers if you knew anything you would know that psn uses dedicated servers and 360 uses p2p. Psn has way better online play. ( i said play not features which are separate things) Dont blame the lag on psn.

[MaDeToFaDe]

Realplayer have you seen a "Save replay" option yet after a MP game? Just wondering if Eugen left the replay function out.

I have not seen it on the console version not sure about pc version though

[MaDeToFaDe]

It's in the PC version dude. Rather gutted it's not in console version.

[manek1]

you're basing your 2/10 score on the fact that your internet/network connection is garbage??

[Bravo1_CV]

I'm sorry to hear about the online lag. I played whole night on Xbox and had zero lag.

Lets hope they can fix the issue with the PSN servers. This game is great online.

I'm sure they will fix the problem very soon. It happens with every launch for all platforms.

That all points a connection issue between players, but it's hard to point the finger...

The pop up is a connection warning, meaning there is a large delay [lag] between that person and the rest of the group.

The mic 'breaking up' is also most likely due to the connection lag - if there's not enough data or the connection is very laggy, the voice also suffers.

It does not mean it's your connection either, could have been the other player - maybe in a different region to you, lagging you all out http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

The Console versions, as far as I am aware, use Peer 2 peer connections, so you don't have any major connection to a ubisoft server, so it's very odd...

And I'm not saying it wasn't a problem for you, but I would report it directly to Support - make sure they are aware, just incase. details are in the games manual, or use the link in my signature.

you could've at least gave the game a chance. its only just got released

[odballl]

No lag for me guys.

[partxgenius]

Sorry but I dissagree. I have played several matches and I can confirm the error popping up but I continued to play and it popped up like 3 or 4 times in the match but it goes away and I finished the game with a win. I don't understand why people are complaining about the unit cap. In ranked matches you have 25min. I have had a maximum of like 50 units on the map at once.

[armInIuS1988]

Even if I'm not a console player at all, i would say thats what happen when you release such a MP based game without a beta or MP demo...

And to all of the "pc is better than console" flamers: dont forget there is a reason why smileys like that one exists: http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif ;-)

In response to the rambling first post/"review":

You do not know how to play the game. You played a few skirmish missions and you played them poorly. It's a sign of poor play when you're getting 10 admin buildings and massing 10+ bombers. You will not be allowed to do this by competent players and you shouldn't have had the time to do it if you were safe long enough to pull it off.

Learn to play the game before passing judgment. If you're not willing to give the game a reasonable shot, it's your loss that you just put yourself back $20+ for the trade-in, not ours or the devs. This is primarily a flaw with your patience and adaptability.

Played it for two days now and never a problem. One of the best strategy games to have come out for years. My biggest problem was i got the preorder and the two maps i was supposed to get were nowhere to be found. If they fixed this I would be at four stars but without it I am down at two due to support and generally not treating your customers the right way. Have put it out on my face book and blog where some people who were going to buy the game are now going to look at other titles that have come out until some customer respect can be shown. Good thing this social networking, instaed of telling 10 people in the local vicinity I can tell a few hundred globally.

Any pre-order code, is limited in numbers, it may have been 'sold out' by the time you ordered, or some other issue.

OR

The pre-order bonus, may have been offered in error by Gamestop - I am trying to check on this.



If that is the case, then you should mark Gamestop down - and rate the game as you see fithttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
