DUST Search - Hello Small Mass of People I'm about to use as a Jury

So I'm continuing my travels in 2 days. I only had a PS3 because an acquaintance just kept it at my apartment. I simply happened to find DUST on it and played it on and off for the past year and a half. However, I'm returning it when I leave.

-The game is dying. Sure it's been happening slowly but it's become eerily noticeable as of late. It takes a good amount of time simply to find squads, and corps channels have been small in population. I see and play with about the same 20 or so people when ever I log in.

-CCP isn't really making a case for hope in sticking around. I understand and acknowledge their lengthy road-plan style. But for me to keep playing would mean dropping $200 on another system. Tens upon tens of posts saying, "We're aware of *blank* and working on it" is all well and good. It at least kinda makes us feel like the game isn't just a fun project that will just be left to die as it has been. But as for a vivid game plan, or direct place DUST is gearing to go for, there's not anything for us to really dig in for the long haul about. Just small things added to an incomplete game that still doesn't have anything in it to do beside grind, complain, and drink tears. (Which by the way I'm trying to cut down on sodium intake so the I can't even enjoy tears like I used too. And don't even suggest diet. How dare you -.-)

So I've got less than 48 hours and limited funds not already set aside for necessities. Do I drop the $200 on the PS3 and stick around, or save it up for a PS4?

DON'T SPEND CA$H ON DUST 514 CCP WILL ONLY GIVE YOU AUR AFTER THEY REMOVE YOUR BPOs WHICH U SPENT REAL MONGé¼Y ON!

The console itself is expensive, games are expensive, playing online requires a PS+ subscription, and there are not many games on the console yet. Also 1st generation consoles tend to have technical issues. Why not get a cheap PS3 now and enjoy the hundreds of exclusives it has to offer? Then wait for a 2nd generation PS4 and a price drop. At that time there will be more games available and the first generation games will be cheaper. There really is no reason to get a new console now other than for those few launch titles... ...and also I would miss you. yup yup, all this. 1st gen hardware's for suckas, unless you got a metric f**ton of cash and a massive erection for bleeding edge gear. sniff* Aww guys. Bawls deep man-tears directly into an incinerator so no one can try to drink them. Got me in the feels. Alright you win. I'll still be gone for another since it doesn't change the fact that I no longer have a ps3. But when I get settled in my new home I'll pick one up. And are you sure their doing a second Gen thing like with the ps3? Not sure why they would. "Not to worry. The cards say you loved it." `- Ryoutoshi`

Get a PS4 but consider U need to add $50 for the PS+ if U intend to play retail Games online. TBH i'd suggest U get PS+ cause of the titles U can also download for free and play which will last U as long as your PS+ Subscription and there are some really good titles included which i have tried: Resogun Outlast Don't Starve Contrast However U can get around this by playing the Free To Play Games which are: War Frame War Thunder Black Light Retribrution DC Universe PLANETSIDE 2 (SooN WITHOUT THE TM) Drive Club (VERY SooN WITHOUT THE TM) And a Couple of PIN BALL GAMEZ The PS4 is ATM the BEST New Gen Console on the Market, Fast and Powerful and costs less than a PC with similar scecs. The PS4 Hardware wise is Better than the Xbone, Games appear to run better on the PS4 compared to the Xbone, one example is BF4 720p on Xbone and 900p on PS4. Titles like BF4 are 64 Players, Killzone Shadow Fall is 24 Players (No Aim Assist and i'd consider it a better investment over CoD Ghost). All Games from the PS3 which came out on the PS4 Not only Look better but Run Better, ALOT BETTER. U Also have Party Chat on the PS4 now like the Xbox Live Service so therefore U can talk to friends which are not in the same game or doing other things totally I'd say that the PS4 will be totally worth it when Planetside 2 comes out: It's a Futuristic FPS Game with 2000 Players in the same Map (666v666v666 or 1000v1000), Maps are 64 KM Squarded, U have Aircraft, Ground vehicles, Max units and Infantry, Base Controlled Territories in a Persistant Battle and a fairly well balanced game. In conclusion , NOW is the time to seriously consider the PS4 DON'T SPEND CA$H ON DUST 514 CCP WILL ONLY GIVE YOU AUR AFTER THEY REMOVE YOUR BPOs WHICH U SPENT REAL MONGé¼Y ON!

Don't make it easy for them, take a few down with you.

Next year Star Citizen will be out, and all signs point to not even EVE surviving when the entire playerbase jumps ship. Apparently half of EVE's players have already given CIG money.

I found a ps3 for $60 the other day and snagged it befor somone else did. Look and wait for deals, buy it cheap and then just sell it cheap again when your ready to convert completely to ps4.

Komodo Jones Chaotik Serenity 474	Posted - 2014.02.15 18:16:00 - [46] - Quote It's not gonna be on the ps4 for a while, should get a ps3 anyway because there are still going to be games that will come out for it, some exclusively, ps3 ain't dead yet. And despite what you say about the game dying, there are alot of people who will continue to play the game as long as the servers are up and running even if it's only because they've put alot of time into the game already, as long as CCP has no plans to quit early and run away with our money I'll stick around. I'm reminded repeatedly that EVE was this bad at first and while I question CCP's judgement in releasing games that are crappy I do trust in their ability to vastly improve it over time. Finding squads isn't that hard, or necessary, i'll often play with like 1 or 2 other people just because I have the luxury of deciding who I like to play with, bigger squads are better obviously but really all you need to do is have a couple of chat channels that are always full of people and you should be fine, there's no need to join a huge corp just to be able to play. Even then there's nothing wrong with playing solo, in fact sometimes I prefer it because I put no pressure on myself to support my team, can do whatever the hell I want. This game can be frustrating and there's still alot missing before it's "completed", but I'm definitely sticking around. Whether or not you want to play is up to you but work under the assumption that this game will be around for a while This is a signature. You're now reading it. You may now reply to my post.

Not sure why they would. They did it with PS1 and PS2, and PS3 even got a 3rd gen. It might take a while though. You might have to wait 2-3 years. So be careful with your decision. I didnt get a PS3 until the first gen Slim came out (2009, about 2 years after PS3 was released), and I remember even then there were still games being released on both platforms when I switched. The thing to remember is that gaming developers are always trying to max their profits, so during the transitiion period from last gen consoles to the next, they intentionally release games on both platforms to cover their bases. Look at Watchdogs, one of the most anticipated next gen games -- coming for both PS4 and PS3. Was like that during the PS2 to PS3 transition as well. Basically, I only switched when the console price came down, and games were not being released for PS2 anymore. Win/Win for those of us without deep pockets. On top of that, it takes a couple years for the gaming devs to get used to a platform, to truly maximize it's potential -- look at Red Dead Redemption and God of War 3 on PS3, and GTA San Andreas and God of War 2 on PS2 -- truly stellar games that came out towards the middle/late period of the console's lifecycle, that were possible because the devs knew how to maximize the hardware. There's no rush to be first in line for the PS4, not for my money anyways. See you after your hiatus, dude! Min Logi \| aka Punch R0ckgroin, Fatsuit
