Option for ability to host or join instead of random

Archive: 10 posts


This has been a problem for me that has bugged me from the start. Whenever I see a level, I hope to be able to play it from the start and not have to skip all over the place, then it says "Asking to join new leader ______" and I'm like, "Wha - no, no, c'mon..." and 5 minutes later when I finally do join, the level's almost over and if I get in on time, I'm skipping everywhere because the creators seldom put the... lock gate or something, I can't remember what it's called, but the thing that keeps others from entering the level, the creators almost never put one in their levels. My point is that for levels that you want to play with other people, there really should be an option to Host a game or Join a game instead of a random pick that usually gets you a badly lagging game and the occasional PS3 freeze. Anybody else bugged by this?2009-11-23 19:05:00

This is the second time I've posted this response to you... lol the first one just disappeared into the ether...

Anyway, I think that is an excellent idea. I have been trying to collect all the items for the story level for the last week. As you know there are some levels that you can't do this alone.
I have just sat and waited at the beginning of a level for others to join.
I have even spammed restart in hopes that I would pop into someone elses group.

It would be best if you could choose any of the following
a) tell game to look for an open group
b) set a flag to let game know you are looking for others to join your group
c) no preference
c) play by yourself. There are some levels that weren't designed for multiplayer in the community.

Are you talking about the Quick Play option? Or when you are selecting levels, and you go to play it?2009-11-23 20:06:00

This is the very reason why I don't Quick Play anymore. I usually ended up being a guest (to a jerk 90% of the time...) and had a hard time trying to leave because it takes forever to even be able to join. Or right when I'm about to join a potentially fun group, the game shoves that "OH LOL host has left! YOU ARE NAO GAME LEADER!" message in my face. =(

I hope this Leerdammer update they're working on has something to fix this!

But you can just click the "Play Offline" button, below the "Play Online" button.

i just think that when the player thing that does not allow new players in, does not let people join, and not even watch
this is what i want
when you pick a level, boxes come up with the leaders name, and there can be signs that say the thing is activated, come in and join, collecting prises, and any thing elce. kind of a call of duty online with the map, type of game, and how meny players. that would help alot

If I wanted to play offline, I would. I am suggesting this because I mainly play online.
