It would still get a low review. While things have improved, Dust is still very much lacking in both performance and content. If Dust was going to be up for a new round of reviews, it had best wait till after moving to the PS4, CCP switches to Unreal 4, performance improves, and there is enough content for Dust to be considered a full-fledged game.

IGN? *roaring laughter*
IGN is sooooo commercial, you already know the review scores before you read em. No way, I read the last review they did and it was so blatantly idiotic.
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.
Mind you, the latest gamespot review I didn't mind, because it was a good write up. IGN are the worst when it comes to reviews.

I agree that Dust should be re-reviewed, just not anytime soon. Ambush spawns, PC lag, lack of game modes, lack of PVE, lack of racial variants for dropsuits and heavy weapons (Gallente heavy plasma weapon, Amarr heavy laser weapon), lack of meaningful yet accessible EVE connection, lack of player market, lack of extreme planet types, and lack of anything to generally make Dust's gameplay stand out is all reason it should not happen soon.

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. |

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'd rather people wait for all of the racial gear (suits, vehicles, weapons, etc.) to be added first before we try to get people into this game.
That would be like handing in an incomplete assignment to your Professor.
It would seriously hinder our chances at a bigger playerbase. (Even more than we already have)

This game is terrible for reviewers.
New players get raped by everyone. They get 1-3 games at most in academy then get put out in the street with the bigboys and get slaughtered.
All the while looking at subpar graphics and seeing the game have terrible performance and frame rate drops.
In other words.. They are playing a bad game.
I don't blame anyone if they say dust is ****. Because I agree.
Edit: if I had already reviewed a game as bad as dust... I wouldn't wanna try again.

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.

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.
That's like reviewing Inception based on seeing Memento. It just doesn't make sense

Yeah yeah yeah, we all know about Dust's potential. But reviews are not supposed to talk up a game based on what it could be, they analyze what the game is in it's current state. Don't get me wrong, it's okay to mention that future monthly updates can give you a reason to come back if you don't like the current update. However, that does not excuse the terrible game performance of the current update.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that 1.7 is a mediocre patch because it did not fix the most important, fundamental issues that have cursed this game since the beginning. It was a good patch in the sense that it entertained most of the current playerbase, but aiming, shooting, and moving are still subpar.
Aiming doesn't feel right because of the inconsistant framerates. Shooting doesn't feel right because of the wonky hit detection. Moving around the battlefield does not feel right because you are always glitching on the terrain, coming to a complete stop because of a 2 inch curb (cliff), getting caught on a pointless protusion on a wall, and being forced to stand around for 6 (eternity) seconds waiting for enough stamina to regenerate so you can barely jump over a rail or invisible wall on the terrain.
The PC and SL should fit into Sidearm/ Equipment slots so it's accessible and practical to carry one.

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.

I don't think any business like IGN or GameInformer should do any more reviews yet until Dust 514 has at least most of the core features implemented. We're not even 50% done yet with the core features. Putting out another review on a game on this current state will not help with CCP's public relations on the game.
PS: I hate IGN anyways. They are a bunch of sell outs and EA's lapdog.

Oh, and that damn sprint bug You make good points, do you use auto aim BTW? I ask because I find that I am more true with it off. Yes, pathing needs an overhaul. I hate when I play a heavy and have to jump over that top step. I hate when I play a plated suit I can't jump over that banister that I can in my shield tanked suit. But that is part of the beauty of DUST, your fit matters on the battlefield. Granted, they do need to fix the terrain so you don't get stuck but I feel that is coming. I get stuck a lot less on new maps than I do old ones.

Gamespot did a re - review... didn't go well either.
I don't know, but I think people are just blinded by DUST. You might not like what reviewers have to say, but they're spot on with some of their reviews. In reality DUST is nothing more than a lobby shooter, using some elements of RPGs, with poor mechanics, and using EVE as its "next big thing in FPSs".
DUST still offers very little for new players. They play a few days, realize the grind is ridiculous, realize people have 20+ million SP headstart, with no chance to catch up, and call it quits. If that wasn't enough, then getting proto stomped would make their mind up.
The game is still suffering from frame rate issues. Balance and roles are still lacking. Missing suits, and missing weapons.... 2 YEARS HEAVIES HAVE 1 WEAPON AND 1 RACE!
DUST deserves the scores it's getting. I haven't said anything here that isn't true.
The only thing it has going for it, is that it's a F2P game, and not pay to win... in facts, there's nothing worthwhile paying for except boosters.

Agreed. I love Dust in all the lives I've lost, but damn it was hell before I knew what I was doing. I played maybe two games in Chromosomes, got wrecked, left. Came back, found a Corp, now I'm hardcore. But not that many corps can reach all these new players, I'm pretty sure half of them don't even know Dust HAS a forum...IGN shouldn't review Dust, I could do it for you with 7 million SP as my Resume
Mechanics and Graphics:
Compared to Call of Duty and Battlefield 3, Dust is still lacking many small mechanics, and those are OUTDATED Games already. Being able to vault over objects like rails, slide into cover, lean, makes Dust seem relatively linear. Run up to a person, get into pretty awesome gun fight for five seconds, repeat. However, when massive outcrops of cover are used to jump in and out, or massive firefights occur, Dust is very fun. The new amounts of tanks makes Dust seem much more fun when there is a war front going on, and if Drop-ships become more common, Dust would gain far more epic explosions of hunks of metal fall from the air, and into the ground. Hit Detection on Dust has improved greatly since May, except for Snipers, who are few and far between in terms of dedication. My best friend, Ensar Cael notes that while sniping can occur at extreme ranges( he once made a kill at 700 meters), half the time the game won't render, which is a problem. Dust also does not have an amazing Color palette as does the bright colors of KillZone 2. Enviornments are servicable, but there is nothing that jumps out and makes you say, "Holy crap that looks awesome." unless of course you are watching two or more Dropships engage in dogfights while tanks fight underneath. It's getting there, but so far Dust earns a 7/10 for Mechanics and Graphics. It's missing some rather obvious elements, but it is entertaining and damn gorgeous when not suffering from the Frame-Rate drops like seem to plague players but never myself.
Content:
Dust is steadily adding content with monthly releases. These are both liked and hated, as is with any community as passionate as this one. Since Uprising, Dust has added:
Flaylock Pistols, Plasma Cannons, The Combat and Rail Rifles, The Commando Suit, and other Aurum tanks. There were probably more, but I can't remember them. More content such as Cloaking has been confirmed, but as to when, well Dust is notorious for leaving players in the dark for a while. Unlike almost every other shooter, Dust does not have conventional customizations for guns e.g. attachments, paints. It does however have an amazing progression system which while convoluted, is vast. CCP has stated it would take around 7 years to fully unlock everything they have, but I'm not sure this is the case if I were to play 8 hours a day. No idea, maybe a Vet could testify? There is also a myriad of different Dropsuit choices, but as many suits are shown to be either used ineffectively, or just are outclassed, many people are just becoming Combat Logis, killing Diversity. For content, Dust earns an 8/10 for continual releases that are often better than they are horrid. There is around 50 more items Dust can implement, which will greatly add to the game. For not having them though, my review score should probably be lower...
New Player Experience:
Hell on Eden. Honestly, it just is. After a relatively short tutorial where players know there Neocoms and all, they are thrown into a fight at the Academy. Small matches do not highlight the true workings of combat, and there is no automated voice to tell players or remind them what they should probably do as in the numerous other RPGs that exist. This matches New Eden as a harsh place, but not when Dust is so precariously balanced. Vets with upwards of 40 million SP will show almost no mercy to even me with my 7 million, and Protostomping is very prevalent, although the multitudes of Tanks( Thank you for this CCP) has lessened this practice. Players are also not taught how to spend their ISk, the In-game Currency, and that is a problem when because most players spend much of their ISK on unlocking Skill books, which they do not know how to use. Corps like the Learning Coalition, and Dust University are around to help, but until September( and I've been playing since May), even I didn't know about these Corps, and I surely did not know of this forum. New players( blueberries) are very isolated in Dust, and those who I run across, I try and help. However, not many have microphones, which is very infuriating because of the slow typing of Dust's chat channels, which take a while. Not bashing them too hard because I don't have a solution to fix them, just noting on them. Players are also not informed of the weight Factional Warfare carries, and if a new player goes into that ISK sink and dies, they will be hard-pressed to continue the game. After Academy CCP, please show players a list of Corps that they should apply to. This can even be a PLAYER EVENT. The Corps that want their names featured can compete in mock Planetary Conquest battles to see which is better. The top ten that win would be featured; Learning Coalition and Dust University automatically on there of course. From a previously new player who went through such hell, 4/10
So yeah, those are my main points. Love Dust though, to death...
You are nothing to me, just as I am nothing in a world of Dust

Wait for 2.0 before any proper review.

We're not even 50% done yet with the core features. Putting out another review on a game on this current state will not help with CCP's public relations on the game.
PS: I hate IGN anyways. They are a bunch of sell outs and EA's lapdog.
This. Why are we trying to condemn Dust? Another mass review will do more harm that help and I can't stand to read those negative reviews whether or not they're legitamate or not because we haven't reached out potential. I rather we get a new review when Dust comes to the PS4 or at least when when we have a better intergrated EVE-DUST market, more meta connections, more lore(last talked about thing was the Eon War and that's barely talked about), more gear, a better separation between the player groups(casual, competitive, and social/economic), and better mechanics.
Seems like we'll need like two to three years but maybe CCP can speed it up in 2014 :< and maybe even gain more paying customers so they can have more workers to help release stuff.
