...have come and this game is still here. People are coming back as well. The holidays might drop the numbers as people start getting the newer titles, but all I know is that everything from PS2 to Defiance was supposed to end this game and yet it keeps chugging on. The doomsayers have also been silent more recently, maybe they've finally left, maybe they got tired of spewing the same BS. This game isn't perfect, we all know that, and it's behind the the rest in many categories, but it is still unique, and the core concept is enough to keep it alive. I've only been playing for about 10 months and what I've seen change is immense. This game was built from scratch, and what has been done in just the past few months alone is commendable. Is it everything we need? Hell no!! Can CCP please everyone? I sure hope not, that's where you get the same generic spew released annually.

There are serious limitations to the long term life of this game, namely it's eventually leap off the PS3 on to another platform, but people keep coming back each patch, they really do see the improvements made to this game, and I for one will follow it wherever it goes.

1.7 was an overall success. It's not quite to the point where I'd start telling my friends to get on again, though they do show general interest in the core concept, the same way many people appreciate EVE.

Keep it up.

CCP are pros at releasing a game over a decade. Every time new content comes out, all the vets are going to run back to try it out. I think their biggest mistake at the moment is not offering more pay-to-use crap like dropsuit skins, weapon skins, maybe even weapon customization. There are also rumors that PS4 will get patched to allow digital games to be played from PS3. Common sense will prevail. Adapt or die.

Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 208	Posted - 2013.12.11 20:02:00 - [4] - Quote When you see what a dedicated company like CCP can do, you have to wonder what a fly by night grifter like EA has done to ultimately ruin so many promising gaming franchises. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 1075	Posted - 2013.12.11 20:06:00 - [8] - Quote I think the point I'm trying to make is that those other games are good, but they don't have the long term appeal or potential Dust has. Tarn chose peace. Tallen chose war. Where is my Gallente sidearm? SoonGäó514
Kevall Longstride DUST University Ivy League 728	Posted - 2013.12.11 20:08:00 - [9] - Quote If you're talking about their cloud based streaming game service, forget it. It's only going to be for titles they chose to put on it and full worldwide release isn't till 2015. Chances are Dust 514 will be working natively in the PS4 by then.

Keep smoking that kush! The numbers are consistent if you look at it over the past year. They spiked at and before the "release", they started dropping off over the summer and have remained consistent throughout the fall, which is to be expected as more people are in school. The point is I think if they fix the turbo tanks and TKs Dust will be fine over winter break. I'm realistic enough to realize that we may not get the player market, full racial suits, and (possibly but unlikely) racial vehicles until next may when there will likely be the new expansion. Playercount consistency even at a relatively low spot isn't necessarily bad. I've played enough Planetside 2 on PC to see what a hit becomes after everyone loses interest. This game is still interesting, and it continues to be so, the biggest problems stem from the game play itself which has improved vastly. Tarn chose peace. Tallen chose war.

Gee..... wonder where I've heard "This game won't last long... so-and-so will kill it"? Oh, yeah.... that's right... EVE discussions from way back in 2003... That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...
