Long Evity wrote:Last night I was at Game stop 'returning' some games that... didn't fit my inventory at home *wink* when I saw a kid on an iPad looking at Dust514.
He was with 5 other kids, all huddling around this system, that was describing Dust514. Me, being the out-going SOB I am, simply walked up to the kids and asked if they were interested in the game.
The kid holding the system replies first: "It seems cool." "Yea!" Replies the rest.
"What do you know of it?" I asked, curious what they found out on there own.
"You can take over planets, move armies, you get this customizable RPG element for character build-up and equipment. Oh, there's money, value, risk vs reward..." *CUT* as they ranted - basically all they knew were what was said in 2012 dev-blogs. They knew next to nothing about EvE other then it was a space sim that was, maybe, or is still around. Lol
"Would you guys like it if it meant you'd be useless for over a month before you can make an impact on the field?"
I didn't get a response at first, but there was this really tall kid who stepped up from here: "If you have to work for it, doesn't that make it more satisfying to use? You get to take that hard work and make a difference in a universe, that's cool."
BAM. BOOM. POOOOW.
Soon as this kid finished his friends jumped to agree on how cool that would be.
"It's over a month of you going 0/14 game after game, can you really say you'd enjoy that experience until it changes?" I asked with a raised eye-brow.
"Yes" o.0
"Why?"
"Look at BF4 - it's just instant satisfaction. FPS's are all we pretty much play, we want something involved outside of a program."
"Player vs player?" I asked
"No, it doesn't have to be player vs player, it could be player with player changing the gaming environment somehow. Ever played mine craft? We play that game- if an FPS could have an environment like that but with consequences and things that matter and move with or without you... then how is that anything but a next gen game?"
At this point I'm sort of in shock, these aren't the answers I expected at all!
I took off shortly after since I got a call asking for a favor - but I gave the guys my PSN and plan to squad up with them later today or this week.
How many experiences have you guys had speaking over Dust with people who've never played?
Those are not kids nope i refuse to believe this madness MADNESS I TELL YOU MADNESS

I bet if I pointed over at the Skylanders and said that was a really cool game they'd want to play that too.

I admit I play, but always add "it isn't for most people" or "the game isn't quite finished yet"

Hahaha yeah me too, and this was with people who love multiplayer FPS games like gears of war, halo and COD, they only downloaded it, played once and deleted it... they don't speak to me anymore! CCP - experts in alienating its playerbase!

I have only one friend that plays this. He saw me play on PSN and decided to get on. Hated it stopped for a month. He got off not because the game mechanics and glitches but because he kept losing suit after suit.
I explained to him that the game is suppose to be like that and he came back. he is a casual player and he takes a break every month or so and then no lives for another month. lol
He's the only one that PLAYS it. Im not recommending it to anyone until its bit more bearable. After all, first impression means everything.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not ur day, tomorrow doesn't look too bright either.
