Yknow, id love to play this online, but i just can not be bothered with the whole setting up password/username rubbish.

^ im the exact same. PSN is a one click purchase. totally automated. konami are just shooting themselves in the foot here. MGO was great too, shame.. just not prepared to go through all their bulls**t.

I actually went through all the Konami rubbish and played MGO quite a lot until the day that GENE was released. Despite having the right card and living in an accepted country I was greeted with error messages everytime I tried to buy it.

This means I can't join the auto-match servers because they were made GENE only, so I had to leave.

Wow that's a lot of new features.

When I see the word 'patched'. I thought they meant trophies, but oh well, this patch might help make the expansion better in terms of lag. But knowing konami, it wont Sad
