"These next few months will decide everything!!!" is the mandatory chant right before new patches.

Planetside 2 has been mentioned as a DUST killer many times before as have many other games. You may switch gears to PS2 but players come and go as they do in all games.
DUST is a slow burn kind of game that suits a particular kind of player. It doesn't hold your hand and is outright hostile for the rookies. It's not for everyone and will probably never be really big. For the people that like this kind of game it's the one you return to and play while waiting for the next big flashy but short lived title. Once it contains PVE and a better new player experience then CCP will turn on the marketing machine to capture that wider audience that can't survive in the current environment. That is the big opportunity to "decide everything."

Pretty much this.
I have heard Planetside 2 being touted by many of its fanbois as the true Dust killer, but the fact of the matter is that this has been brought up even before Dust got released back in May 14, 2013. Hell, even before its transition to open beta back in January on that same year. Same thing with Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.
Even MAG was once touted as a potential Dust killer during the early part of closed beta. But as of January 2014 Mag shut down its servers for good but by then many of the MAG players migrated here to Dust and settled down. SVER True Blood [STB] are mostly MAG vets as one example. But in honor of MAG, some Dust players who were lucky to be here early on have in their possession the blueprints for the "MAG Tribute" suits. It's interesting that even though MAG was the supposed competitor to Dust, CCP honored the game with the MAG Tribute suits. At least MAG will be remembered. o7
Many more games in general (even some that were not even on the PS3) were already brought up as potential Dust killers, but so far after an entire year since release Dust is still around and chugging along.
My point?
Ignore the doom and gloom. It's the same **** just a different day.
I have seen the same thing in other genres.
Microsoft Flight Simulator was believed to crush Laminar Research's X-Plane, but MSFS is no more. In fact, MS shut down the studio and now Lockheed Martin bought the rights to the simulator and turned it into a training tool instead called Prepar3D. On the plus side, Lockheed Martin has hired the original Aces Studios team to develop the new software and thus Prepar3D is also compatible with any of the Microsoft Flight Simulator X addons. But Lockheed is not competing against Laminar Research since Lockheed is not the in business of making commercial sims.
EA's Earth & Beyond was considered the definite Eve Online killer back in 2003 after EA laughed at CCP and rejected the idea of Eve Online after CCP originally asked EA to publish their game. A few years later, EA's Earth & Beyond shut down its servers and many of the displaced players migrated to Eve Online. Even CCP hired people who use to work for EA such as CCP Rouge and many others. EA never forgave CCP for that.
You see this everywhere in every genre. People say that Game "X" will crush Game "Y" but then Game "X" shuts down or doesn't do as well anymore or people lose interest in it.

Line breaks are your friend.
It looks like the OP edited it to have line breaks now, but was it seriously that hard for you to read? Man do I feel smart when I meet people like you. |

While this is true, it kind of upsets me that people almost seem to imply that other games don't also improve as time goes on. Sure, you may need to shell out another $60 here and there, but you also receive a whole new updated and more technologically superior (in most cases, at least) game. So, while it's cool that DUST is free and is always being updated, it's not fair to imply that other games don't receive similar love from their devs as well. DUST isn't the only game that gets updated.
True, and don't get me wrong, I are ordered destiny and am going to be playing the beta soon. The halo joke I made was more about bungie, I mean it is basically halo, I can see the elites and grunts and jackals and hunters. But I'm excited for a few mechanics and pve. (PvP looks awful)
There has been a trend lately with these triple A titles, they aren't delivering on some aspects of their games or coping out. GTA 5 still hasn't added heists for multiplayer (and I doubt they ever will) BF4 messed up with their dlc and then added all the bf3 maps.....great.....that's new. Cod did okay with their dlc but let's face it, its cod. The only good thing about ghosts is extinction which is actually pretty fun, but with all these games you have to shell out more if you want more. "Buy the exclusive entry pack and get access to the dlc's plus rare guns just 50 bucks more!"
I'll still get a few games, and I'll enjoy them. I plan on enjoying destiny, but when I beat it, or it gets old, or I have to buy more crap to keep progressing I'm going back to dust, hell I'll probably be switching between them anyway. |
