Hardly, most FPS titles with progression systems have matchmaking that tries to keep you in somewhat even matches, and plenty of FPS games have more competitive modes where everyone is evenly matched, statistically speaking.
DUST puts you at the bottom of the barrel with no SP and crap gear and immediately pits you against organized groups of players with millions of SP, top end gear, and usually over a years worth of experience.
There is no breathing room, no room for player growth. For every 10 players we get we may retain 1 masochist who somehow still sees DUSTs potential through all the crap and fights on through. Until we have a place for vets to go and stop giving incentives for them to stomp all over noobs, NPE will just be a pipe dream.
It's one thing for a player to choose to be roflstomped right out the gate, it's another thing entirely to force it upon them without giving them any say in the matter.
Still it doesn't make sense. When a new player can jump in BF4 and get stomped. A new player can jump in COD against players with prestige and get stomped. A new player can just start playing Armored Core and get rofl stomped into oblivion.
It was the same in MAG.
lol @ forced. You can turn off the PS3, ya know.
That's what I don't understand about your post. A beatdown is a beatdown. It happens in all FPS games. If you don't have it in you to tough it out then you just don't have it in you.
I made it through the fire, even without the speedbump before the beatdown they call Academy and I'm still here.
But again, my post was in response to the mass market advert question and why we shouldn't advertise it. It's not to get into the same old discussion yet again because I see things differently than you. For mercs who think like me, o7. To others who view differently, you're entitled to your opinion.[/quote]
In those games there isn't a point where afking gives you more health or any type of linear rpg progression. The first gun can kill the enemy with 3-6 bullets no matter the rank. Armored core is a niche game. |
