Death to FilePlanet.com

[sixteenth]

I honestly cannot believe this.

Ok, so while randomly checking out some news on gamespot.com, I accidently click a link that brings me to fileplanet.com. I see, right on the top of the page, how they are giving out keys to the crysis beta. I knew about fileplanet.com doing this for a while now, but I didnt expect I would be lucky enough to get a key. I click on the link, and what do you know: they're giving out their last batch of keys right now.

I say, "Oh sh*t! Sweet!" cause I've been watching this game for awhile. I register as a member, paying the $15.00 fee they ripped me off with, and pressed "Join the beta". Now comes the complete BS part: They ask for some system information, I give it to em. Apparently, my $1,200 PC is not up-to-par enough to play the damn game. I'm well aware I can't play the game at full settings, but I'm interested in the game and just paid $15 goddamn dollars. At least let me play it at low or medium settings cause I just paid to get it.

Alright, so this thread isn't about just me bitching at FilePlanet.com. Just an insight to those of you who might purchase membership to fileplanet.com to "Join the beta" and not have the best PC out there. If you don't have a high-end computer, make sure to lie about your PC stats, otherwise you'll get nothing but a sh*tty membership to fileplanet.com.

Edit: I guess they pushed back the demo to late October aswell: http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=200331#p200331

Wow, that sucks major balls :|

I've always hated Fileplanet, and will continue to.

 

[ktimekiller]

fileplanet is good, but it wants money =(

 

[Agent.M]

I love fileplanet by far worth every penny Ive paid them so far.

 

[Planetary]

Get a refund.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Failplanet is fail. :|

Meh, I don't use fileplanet. Most of the time I use filefront and some times fpsbanana to download my mods, patches, and maps.

It was great for the FEAR Beta and the Matrix Online Beta, but this is complete bullsh*t.

Edit: I doubt they'll let me refund it. I'm just gonna use it for the next 3 months, I guess that's what $15 will pay for... Fileshack.com is key. I got a membership there for $1. No download caps or anything.

Get a refund.

For sure, I guarantee they will give you your money back if you throw enough of a fit. The lengths companies will go to in an effort to keep you as a potential customer are amazing

www.Gamespot.com is good, plus with their downloader you can search for demos/patches and not even visit the site. As for trailers...www.gametrailers.com FTW hands down.

Aye, I always use Fileshack.

The only way I ever supported filenazi was that darn bf2142 beta. Man what a rip-off that was too. I gotta use them whenever I want to download WOW for that Direct-2-Drive thing. It uses fileplanets slow d/l speed.

All you have to do is log in from another pc with your account and you can do the specs again. You should also just be able to clear your cookies.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

i bs'd the prelim specs with the lowest settings and it said i was good to go...I think it's just to get you to sign up.

 

[TwwIX]

**** fileplanet and their monopoly.
No to mention their shitty community sites and their policy of never linking downloads to any other sites.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

You paid $15 for esentially a beta?

Poor choice.

Also, clear your cache (or just use a different browser) and try again saying you have an awesome computer. It will work, trust me.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I have an idea

/format C://

OOOoooooh! I went there!

All kidding aside you know the demo comes out next month and it will be far more optimized by that time anyways? I mean, seeing as Crysis is more demanding than that ex-girlfriend who made you serve her breakfast in bed every day and wear a leather gimp suit to bed every night you would think people might not be surprised when a beta has problems on even a currently top of the line computer.

HobbesHax just delete your cookies and try again that should work cause my buddy had the same problem and that fixed it for him.
