Just skimming through your post, you seem spot on. Yes, the younger nature of console shooters brings with it the less patient, more whiny, entitled crowd. I know that doesn't apply to everyone, but it's close enough.
I do think that New Eden is too harsh for the average console shooter. I do believe CCP needs to keep it this way, and go for the cultist following, as you put it. It will grow, just not as quick as the others FPS dominating franchises. I agree, this is a good thing. |

You forgot my next line, lol! For my son's birthday, he had a couple friends over. Yeah... while fun, I had to bite my tongue and let them play it out.  |

Ive always wanted Dust to be that hard core, decision shooter with a cult following. But I think Dust's F2P model/marketing is really holding it back from Option B as far as "being the Darksoul of the FPS world".. Just look at monthly updates to keep the Younger more impatient crowd happy and constantly looking ahead.. Not saying it can't be done with a F2P model just not CCP's current one.. I think 1.7 will be a determining factor on what side of the fence CCP sees Dust on currently. . The side of the fence that is peeking out to see the "suit life" - that is...TitanFall and Destiny.
As excited as I am for Destiny, I have serious doubts about it's longevity. I know Bungie has a 10 year plan, and IMO have a pretty substantial rapport with their community. But 10 years is unheard of for a growing community for a FPS game. I think CCP have a better chance of lasting 10 years while continuing to grow their player base with Dust. Namely, because it won't explode overnight, like Destiny and Titanfall and [insert franchise here] will.
Dust will slowly grow, much to the chagrin of the current community, and improve on gameplay the whole way. Destiny will come out swinging, drawing much applause and fanfare, and slowly dwindle to a smaller core over the coming year or two.
I will be playing both. I can guarantee that.  |
