In this game - you're simply screwed for the 6 months it takes CCP to do anything. Enjoy being fodder or useless for the time it takes CCP to care. There's no escaping your fate. I'm guessing it's a lot more frustrating for us then it was for the EvE guys - but idk how eve was at the start. Maybe they didn't have anything but PvP too? 
Well, if they actually start putting in exploration (which actually has combat involved, so yea), or mining, or manufacturing, maybe we could actually run away from it all. Try again.
EDIT: Plus, unless you're skilled into that stuff, you can't even, so like it matters.... |

Bet you this will be even bigger than that when we get to that point. Calling it now. |

BARDAS wrote:@OP - The forums were similar, however, the big difference is in the two games themselves. You cannot compare the two. One is a space sim on the PC platform. Another is a lobby shooter on the PS3. The PS3 hardware will very soon be outdated. The PC is easily expandable for system requirements and hardware/software. For whatever reason they decided to go with the console when they really should have been developing this on the PC so they wouldn't have to work with a console that is notoriously difficult to develop for.
There is no clear answer, however, my personal opinion is if they keep it on the console the game will fade away to obscurity. Especially compared to other AAA shooter franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Counter Strike, Borderlands, Bioshock, Far Cry, Halo, and most likely pretty soon Destiny. Dust doesn't even hold a candle to some shooters that are 5 - 6 years old ffs.
EVE on the other hand does not currently have much competition. It certainly had no competition when it was released cause EA pulled the plug on its only direct competitor(Earth & Beyond). SWG also shed almost its entire playerbase at around that same time when the NGE bomb dropped. However, I do think Eve will be hurt significantly once Star Citizen is released when many of their casual players(anyone probably not locked heavily into nullsec activities) will likely abandon ship. SC has good promise, but we shall see I guess.
They could just port it, so point invalid. Also, Dust will have more than just shooting, so that point is also invalid. |
