Through all the ups and downs CCP has crafted an FPS with character progression, risk and reward, balance, diversity, and squad/team play that are all on a whole other level than anything else. 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 it's 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 Yes, the graphics are a bit outdated, the performance (if you don't have a solid state drive) is not great, the lag suuuuuuucks, the weapons and vehicles are incomplete, the sandbox is very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 it's 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!! |

Exactly. Due to the progression and customization you can really get into it as your own game, your personal, unique process of refining and exploring what you want to do. And the game is always evolving and balancing, with new elements being added over time and old ones being refined. Some of those elements we haven't seen much of (PVE, sandbox, etc.) but are currently being developed and have always been part of the plan. |
