"Selecting Vehicle..." - One of the many problems in MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

I'm not sure if there is actually a video of this well-known problem in Pacific Rift, but here's one I recently decided to capture. To many of you, you'll know it painfully well, as you'll have been quitting directly out of your game via the PS Button, or failing that, by turning off your PS3.
As many of you know, this can (and has) lead to losing all of your game save data, forcing you to do the entire Festival Mode again. I've rarely found it to happen in Ranked Games, however, which is why I decided to get the camera out ... and ultimately, stick around to see what happened.
I want to say sorry to this "Carlos" guy, it wasn't his fault and I was a bit too harsh on him in the video haha ... the fault is Evolution Studios ... as always.
This, amongst the several other major bugs in this game, is the reason I won't be buying MotorStorm: Apocalypse upon release. I'll definitely be buying it after everyone else has tested it first, whilst I enjoy Gran Turismo 5, with developers, whose only goal is to achieve perfection in "one" game ... rather than making several unfinished games, and abandoning them like Evolution Studios have done.

Carlos was probably the first to sign out..lol.. who knows with this bug ridden system.

On another bug, the start line vehicle stacking chaos is not a bug. It has to be deliberate.

@REEEFTA

Possibly, but he was messaging me back for the duration of our wait. I don't think it had happened to him before and he was either trying to make sense of my messages or waiting for it to start or something. When he eventually quitted out, that's when the race loaded up.

Cirrus5005, I would like to add you on my list of friends from psn, you accept me? I am a lover of MotorStorm Pacific Rift, I have him for one year, and I love the game. I'm not a great player like you, but I consider myself good. I like to play with you and your friends, you are great! Take me on psn ok! My id is Rodrigo_StOrMeR would be an honor to play Pacific Rift and Apocalypse with you, my MSA arrives here at home here 10 days, comes from Portugal to me.

[tinribbs]

This and the leaning boost problem on the ATV are my most annoying faults. Not sure if I will but MSA either. Maybe just to try it out :)

it happened to me this week for the first time that i entered a room exactly at the moment when the host was starting the game (custom race) and i was 'selecting vehicle' on the players list but wasnt. i dropped immediately. but it can happen that the system doesnt realize i dropped and keeps me in the list for a longer time :( the many problems (mostly online) are a big :( for ms2
