Most Likely to "Flop" in 2013: The Elder Scrolls Online
Runner-up: DUST 514

Biggest Disappointment of 2013: DUST 514

Hey my bad for ditching you once we deployed for battle and the loading screen popped up I got the black screen so I just raged quit and went to sleep.

I hate IGN, they have the rudest interviewers I've ever seen.

Just saying. The game has changed soo much form before. It deserves a new review.

Man, don't I know.

I posted a comment about the review being biased. Saying the reviewer should have taken time to play Dust. There's no way that you can just sit down and play Dust for a few hours, then write a review as if you're informed.

Then this IGN editor comes outta nowhere and starts picking on my post as if I'm not allowed to express my opinion on a comment section. Saying I didn't know what I was talking about and how the review was good. He responded to me like I was this 15 year old kid who just got mad about someone saying something bad about his favorite game. AKA...just a fanboy troll.

It was absurd.

Dust 514 is not a game you just play for a day and write a review on it.

I got into a argument with a IGN editor on there in the comment section. The guy judged everything from a BF/COD standpoint instead of reviewing it objectively.

What's wrong with that exactly? Whether you like them or not, those 2 particular titles set the bar for FPS games thanks to their enormous player bases. Not to mention, it's an opinion piece, and the editor would have been correct to write it from the perspective of the largest common denominator.

Oh, and objectively, this game sucks.

DUST does not suck, it is just not done yet. We are still in a beta, and I feel people forget that because CCP doesn't want you to think that. For every step back CCP has made, there are two steps forward that people don't recognize because they don't look at the big picture. Gameplay has improved solidly since January 27th. While I was a huge fan of closed and open beta, Uprising 1.7 has figured out much of what is broken in the game. There are still a few core gameplay elements that need to be smoothed out, but all in all the game performs much better, until you freeze. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1630330#post1630330

The new weapons are awesome and a great step to adding more versatility on the battlefield. More powerful HAVs, more powerful DS, more powerful AV. That last part will get me flamed but I feel that AV is actually more useful now because it invokes teamwork and removes the task from one dedicated AV person to multiple. That is the way it should be. The battlefield needs to be a fast moving fluid or it becomes stagnant. That is what 1 proto FG or SL did in 1.0-1.6. It delegated the removal of vehicles to one person of 16 and bred rooftop FGs slaughtering infantry. Now those FGs have actual targets to shoot other than infantry. People will not look at it that way though and I can tell ou that I was only killed maybe once since 1.7 launched by a FG.

All in all though if CCP keeps down the path to optimization and the introduction of gear and weapons, I would say that by May 14, 2014 we might actually have a full release game to play that is just as good if not better than the next AAA shooter. I haven't played the new HALO or Destiny yet though so I might be gone as well by then depending on what XBOX and PS4 do to me on those fronts.

Because you cannot judge games objectively if you are basing them on what COD/BF is doing. You cannot also judge this game by playing it in a day and then giving judgement. Especially a game of this nature which grows over time.

Except CoD/BF simply do what people want them to do, so he's not really basing them off the titles, he's basing it off what people actually like (again, that's why their player bases are huge).

I'd give you the second point about judging the game in a day, but all that means is more skillpoints, which translates into a power boost against the new guy. It doesn't change a whole lot.

Yea, which doesn't review the game itself. He used COD/BF as the measure stick, as if its the definitive. In that case, every shooter should be compared to them. Every single one.
