Why didnt they just finish the game and the website before they released it? I already was pissed because of the lag, now i find out they dont even have the online stats 'site' finished, what have they been doing? Maybe it would have been a smart idea to do a beta test first and get some issues fixed.
I'm with a lot of other people. The stats can wait. I'd rather they fix the other crap that's wrong with this game...focus on some DLC that will make the game more fun before they focus on building a stats page. I don't care how many times I've killed someone with a mine or how many command posts I've captured. Doesn't do anything for me. I just want to play and have fun...Who cares about stats?
If SD were smart, they wouldn't have mentioned the stat site until it was ready to go and then launched it in a patch update. On top of the other issues they have to solve, they now have to hear people whine and complain about their precious stats.
Read Dead Redemption launched and their Social Club promised a stats page. It was months before they had it up and running. By the time the stats page was up, I was already done with that game. Talk about a game with bugs, yet it won game of the year in some publications. That game had so many bugs it was almost hilarious. But no lag...people will put up with a few bugs here and there before they'll put up with lag. Huge fail on SD for not sorting out the lag issue prior to release.
I feel like SD moved their release date up one week, so they wouldn't be affected by the sales of LA Noire. They should have delayed the release rather than pushing it forward so that they could sort out all of these issues. Just seemed like they rushed the release. Maybe Bethesda pushed Splash Damage to finish it ahead of schedule. Feels that way to me.
