The guns, equipment, and dropsuits in DUST complement each other perfectly, and each weapon is perfectly, uniquely imagined. We take it for granted, but we should appreciate what we've got here. Go play Destiny and see how the PVP compares. Frantic CQC day and night. Jet packs whoopee!!
No other FPS has weapons with the variety of ranges, damage profiles, handling, and well...character to compare with DUST. No other FPS has such a variety of roles, with each race having a unique spin on that role. Hunter, Warlock, or Titan?? Puh-lease!!
No other FPS has ever been iterated on, refined, and balanced nearly as much as DUST has since 05/13. The game has evolved like nothing I've ever seen.
I dearly hope that CCP can keep this game going, even if they have to move to PC (PS3's dying anyway), and continue its amazing development, because DUST is the fine wine of shooters. Yes, the graphics are a bit outdated, the performance (if you don't have a solid state drive) is not great, the lag suuuuuuucks, the weapons and vehicles are incomplete, the sandbox is very limited, there's no cooperative PVE, and the NPE is brutal, but CCP listed all those things as reasons they're moving to PC, so they can protostomp all those nagging problems.
In its sphere, EVE is The Game. Nothing else compares (if that's what you're into). People who haven't gotten into it Just Don't Know. DUST is becoming the same thing for shooters. Don't give up CCP!! That sums up my thoughts as well. I was thinking yesterday about what I would do if Legion was not greenlit, and I came to the sad conclusion that I would probably have to switch to 3rd person and probably fantasy theme to get even close to what I want out of a game. I like the FPS format, and I am definitely more into science fiction than fantasy, but there just isnGÇÖt anything else out there that comes even close!
