Christ. I try playing multi-player for three days on ICO. Turns out I've figured out why it never really lifted off and about 80 people max play it at any given time.
This community there is some of the biggest e-peen stroking elitist jackasses I've ever seen in a gaming community. New players are trashed like hell and given tons of flack and the preexisting community often prefers skilled games which you can't even join unless you're good. The games themselves don't last long and it all devolves into rushing faster than any RTS I've ever played and people get pissed at you for being new and not knowing all the terms or what you're doing. The rest of the time is spent waiting for a game or sitting in collapsing lobbies because people keep leaving. Everyone's impatient and nobody can just enjoy the game for what it is on there. The learning curve is really retarded because of it.
The call of duty online servers have better communities than this and the games are shitty and filled with high pitched eight year olds.
In short. I can't believe I payed 20 dollars for this. It's ridiculous.
Killed by the community.
