You tramp.

I would ask you the same thing Wyvern. Anyone mentions a different game (In ANY context) you shoot it down below DUST for god knows what reason.

So basically you're pissed because I don't like Planetside 2.

Guess what: I have legitimate reasons collected over MONTHs for not liking Planetside 2, and I've already described them at length.

What I have consistently countered on these forums is this stupid trend of "LOL DUST IS DEAD WHO'S MOVING TO THIS GAME WITH ME?" threads that are the same damn thing every single time.

Another WWII Game move along, nothing to see

No: I don't like Planetside 2 either. That's not what I'm talking about, you do it in general. Someone said something about War Thunder and...



Planetside 2 is...Pretty pathetic too, and that's not the first game I'd move on to. Besides, you haven't successfully countered anything, only labeled yourself as a fanboy. The label appears to be accurate too, based on the level of rage you have for seemingly every other game in existence.

No.

Seriously.

Someone explain this to me.

Someone please help me to understand why dividing your attention between more than one game is apparently on par with Adultery.

I think this mainly applies to MMORPGs, because they take so much of your time and force you to play as much as possible (typically through mechanics which force players to grind all day). If you play more than one at the same time it starts to get hectic how you'll subdivide your time between them.

Generally though, console games don't require that dedicated input of time to get maximum benefit out of it. There's no 'sense of progress' which scales off how many hours you've put into the game.

So game monogamy on MMORPGs, I can understand. Everything else doesn't really matter.

My RL buddy only plays CoD. And is pretty much basing his next gen console purchase on CoD.

He did go on a try every FPS binge and he did play WoW for a year or two.

It seems weird to me but whatever. I have been contemplating building my own PC simply cuz i want to try Cube World so i have no moral high ground.

...

One thing that is true is that there are only so many days in the week and only so many hours in a day. These MMOs are getting kind of time consuming and one does not have to think that hard to see how Dust is designed to require long hours to even get up in skill points...very discouraging to causal players. EvE is the same way. One might expect strict game monogamists to be common among EvE and Dust players.

Luckily Elite and Star Citizen have no XP system....so i will feel just fine trying them both out. And it will be a breath of fresh air to have a community around those games who have not had game monogamy beat into them by the very design of the game....I really hope EvE-VR does not have an XP system so i can try it and put it into the list of games i can play without feeling obligated.

No.

Seriously.

So, the fact that I've made several posts about how pysched I am for Ace Combat Infinity obviously doesn't factor into this discussion at all.

I play other games, and I like other games, and I'm even looking forward to other games that are coming soon.

My beef with War Thunder is that it seems like no one ever makes games for modern aircraft besides Project Aces, and I still keep meeting people who've never even heard of Ace Combat.

I just don't get this obsession with World War II, and why other games seem to get swept under the rug in favor of WWII games.

Have you made posts like that? Really? Because I'm fairly certain I could simply say "I like SWTOR/Skyrim/Mario etc." And you'd jump on my case about how they're NOT Dust so they don't have...Whatever it is DUST has that other shooters don't (What is that by the way?)

You two should get a room.

Just curious Mobius... given that you play so many other games... do you buy boosters/aurum?

Mario Galaxy is better than dust.

I have, in the past.

I bought an Omega booster with some of the AURUM I hadn't used a few months ago.

I haven't been buying any active ones because I'm still trying to get my hands on a new PS3.

MARIO SUCKS BECAUSE IT ISN'T DUST BECAUSE DUST IS THE BEST GAME EVAR!!!!!!111!!1!!!

Is that good, Raymundo Kagestad V?

Just saying: I used to, because I was fairly invested in this game.

I may come back from time to time in the future to check out the new updates, but if I played as casually as you say you do, I would never... ever pay real money for anything in this game.

So the people who say they are leaving, are essentially saying they are no longer financially supporting this game.

Curious how long eve would fund this game if no one bought aurum anymore...?

Given what we've already figured over the years for EVE income, they could fund the small team making this game off of EVE for quite some time, and obviously were already doing so for several years.

If they had any worries about funding, they wouldn't be launching into Valkyrie.

I concede that you are probably right, and that's why the developers have the attitude that they do.

What do they care if they're hemorrhaging players? They've got funding indefinitely.

In late 2011 CCP released an announcement to its community that they had made a mistake in development of the Incarna update and direction that EVE was heading, following this CCP announced that it had decided to re-prioritize and shift their focus from their World of Darkness MMO back to EVE Online and Dust 514.[9] The result ended up with approximately 20% of CCP staff being let go worldwide.

Tell that to the Devs who got laid off in the 2011 restructuring.

Note: I am not saying EvE-VR is a waste of money that CCP can't afford. Hell i think EvE-VR is a child born from a passion of a few Devs who knew what they wanted.....rather then a pile of community/committee driven crap Dust is. And as such actually has a chance at being a good game. Just pointing out that CCP is not made of money and the Devs are probably very aware CCP is not made of money. The Dust devs arrogance i think comes from their complete lack of talent and because of that lack of talent are unable to properly judge how talentless they are.

/see Halo 4 sitting on the couch looking all pissed

[Halo] Hello. How was your day.
[Maken] Just fine. What's going on?
[Halo] Oh nothing. Just curious on where you got this.

/pulls out a PS3 controller

[Maken] How did you...
[Halo] That doesn't matter. What matters is why. I also noticed your browser history is filled with visits to the Dust forums.
[Maken] I can explain that.
[Halo] Oh really? Can you also explain to me why you haven't been answering my calls? I kept sending you game invites but you never accepted them. Who is this Dust person. Does she please better than me?
[Maken] Look, I understand your frustr...
[Halo] Understand? How could you possibly understand? I have been with you since Halo: Combat Evolved and never once left you. Now I see you off with some ***** who is just barely legal.
[Maken] She's not a *****. She's different.
[Halo] So she says! That's what all whores say! We're through here. I don't ever want you to log back into me ever again! By the way, your stuff is on the sidewalk in case you haven't noticed.

/Halo walks out

No.

Seriously.
