DUST Search - My Feedback

so i did my 10 matches just because why not

lots of reasons why not. this is, quite possibly, the LEAST fun game ive ever played. it's definitely the least fun FPS i've ever played. part of that is probably the playstation; i ******* loathe the dualshock. with a passion. intellectually, i understand that its a perfectly fine controller. my hands inform me that the triggers are ******* stupid and the sticks' dome tops are annoying and hard to aim with. but my hatred for this controller probably only stems from not using it much. i hope. but i'm not going to learn to love it playing this ******* game. Purely as a FPS, this game has nothing to offer. It has nothing new, and the stuff that isn't new has been done better in other games. The EVE tie-in seems to be the only thing it has going for it, and even that is done pretty poorly. Visually, everything about this game is generic and boring. It's not even a very pretty generic boring, just mediocre generic boring. So the faction names are the only cue you have that this is taking place in New Eden and not, say, Star Wars. Or Star Trek. The vehicles come in three types: Turd, Tank, and Warthog. Gallente and Caldari are just color schemes. Amarr and Minmatar apparently don't exist? Game's been out of beta how long and half the vehicles arent even in yet? What ever happened to the RTS commander guy? moving the corp war barge to take contracts? Planetary Interaction tie-in? ANY link other than orbital bombardment (which is also executed poorly, as far as I can tell)? This game still feels like a beta, and that angers me, because it has so much potential.

maybe in 5 years it'll be worth playing. but not now. right now it's in the same boat as Captain's Quarters: Useless.

I still have high hopes, but they're tempered by my experience with CCP thus far. However... since those hopes exist, I thought I'd leave this here, where the devs can see it and hopefully find motivation or ideas from it. It's a copy of a post I made on a forum about gaming, in the DUST thread.

This game still feels like a beta, and that angers me, because it has so much potential. maybe in 5 years it'll be worth playing. but not now. right now it's in the same boat as Captain's Quarters: Useless. I should specify that when I say vehicles, I'm including the MCCs. Also, while I'm expanding on it, nothing in this game feels like they belong to their race. Amarr have the curved golden prows, gallente have ** up asymmetrical designs, caldari are angular but crisp, and minmatar is angular rusty solar panels. in DUST, everything is the same. No ** up asymmetry. Caldari actually look the way theyre supposed to, but since the gallente just look like green melted caldari, it reduces the distinctiveness of the Caldari hardware, too. So... turd, tank, or warthog. I can't even comment on Amarr or Minmatar. This game, like EVE, has enormous potential. Which, like EVE, it is not living up to. However, unlike EVE, this game does not fill an empty niche. You guys are making (note: making, after launch. on console. a console that has already been replaced on the market. with customers possessing notoriously short attention spans and who are unused to the constant-update development format) a first-person shooter. There are literally hundreds of first person shooters. Maybe thousands. Why should my buddies play yours, when they could play Titanfall or Halo or Battlefield? "Because it's linked to EVE!" Yes. Yes it is. But you know how I know that? Because I play EVE, and read about it. You know how someone trying out your game as a first introduction to New Eden knows it? They don't. That's a huge ***** problem, considering that it's literally your only hook. This game does nothing else new, and it doesn't do anything old better. EVE integration is the only thing you've got going for you, and you haven't capitalized on it at all. Hell, you haven't even really implemented it. Orbital strikes are cool, but that's hardly integration, especially since you don't even need a capsuleer to do it. Get your **** together, CCP. Build a solid FPS base, expand the EVE integration, and pick up the pace, or your game will end up in the dustbin of failed games.
