So I was planning on picking up this much hyped sequel tomorrow, which launched yesterday in Japan, when I stumbled upon a message on the official homepage saying that the Japanese launch of the game has a few serious errors. Apparently users playing the game while logged in to the Playstation network have experienced the game locking up on the title screen or simply freezing at times.
This wouldn't be so bad if it was just a few people, but it appears so far spread that the servers are down as of this moment, and they are advising people to log out before playing the game. Now I know this is not the first time bugs like this has happened, but you would think this is something that they would catch in testing!?
Anyway, I will still be picking up my copy, and hopefully the issue will be fixed soon anyway.
EDIT: Finally got the game. So yeah, still broken. Offline works ok.
