It seemed like the guys at EC were almost specifically talking about DUST the entire time.

I disagree, if felt like they were talking about the multitudes of games that have bad early access states, ie planetary annihilation is one such where its extremely early access did peeve off quite a few folks. Also Star Citizen is beginning to show signs of every single negative issue pointed out.

No I dear say there are about 2-7 videos that would engage wtf went wrong with dust 514, this was not one of them.

IWS did you even watch the video? The biggest point the video made was that people who tried the game when it was unfinished feel they already tried the full game so whenever they are asked about it they say, "Yeah, I tried that. It was ok/sucked." Bad word of mouth.

That is exactly what has happened to Dust 514. Talk to your various gaming friends are ask gaming websites and forums about Dust 514, you'll have people who tried either during Open Beta in January 2013 or on release in May 2013 and they will say "Meh, the game was ok/sucked" entirely off how the game was back then despite all the massive improvements CCP has made since that date. The Dust 514 brand has gotten so bad that CCP feels they need to rebrand it entirely, which is exactly why they say Legion is a different game.

This video pretty much hits the nail on the head for Dust.

Most reviewers on all sides did not declare the game unfinished though which is the massive flaw in likening this video to dust 514's problems.

I'm pretty sure you were here when the game was in closed beta IWS. I think everyone who saw the game back then can agree it has come a long way. The game does however have some unfinished stuff, like vehicles for example. We have seen 3 forms of tanks come into the game, and 3 forms get taken out. (Black ops, Marauders, and Enforcers) Almost the same story for LAVs. (Scouts and Logistics). I would like to know how long it takes to "re-balance" these vehicles as it has been a LONG time since we have seen a tank better than the standard class. I think the rifles themselves have been fairly well balanced, but the overall time to kill is too high. (My opinion people, bash me if you want) So, in my opinion, the game had some unfinished aspects to it, but it is still an overall good game.
