So let me perhaps say something nice about this game and see how many bell-ends it takes to think they can troll the mastertroll.
"Dusts run and gun game is the best around."
Ill let that sink in a minute. Been playing Destiny and much like a very enjoyable nights entertainment with a operative of a 'certain trade' its really quite a fulfilling experience until it comes to the 'cash in' hour.
Destiny has this really hollow and bland feeling that once identified and endured for some time becomes a crescendo of excrement and gin soaked puss that streams continually towards my open mouth. Destiny just has no real weight to any of the game other than grind grind grind.
"hang on Uncle, are you saying Destiny isn't very good?"
Well yes it is, for about 20 hours then it goes downhill faster than a fat guy on his way to Taco Bell 'in the dip'. destiny has very little replayability when compared to Dust- dare i even say Dust has almost a 'mature' feeling to it when comparing mechanics and game play (solid guns, solid mechanics, weight, loss etc)
Im sure many of you having got to this point are about to launch into a clever and im sure well spelled reply that will summerise how awesome dust is compared to destiny and that since i am also making noise in this area, it somehow vindicates you to think that you have been right all along about Dust, making you want to climb (or rather wheeze) to the nearest hilll to shout about this.
Well no - Dust is still terrible as well, just less terrible than Destiny PVP
Dust still has so many issues, none of which really fall into the realm of 'balancing' and really sit like a big flabby old sheep dog with fleas right on your nice new sofa of awesome - Dust is still missing any real mechanics that make us more than just prisoners, sent into the yard to fight each other like 'Bubba from E-wing' and then hoicked back into the cell after the pre alloted time of 15 mins is up.
Very few game modes, very few mechanics that are fresh and new, same old tactics of 'climb to high point, drop spawn pad, forgegun everything' Dust really has personal freshness problems and its hard to see how on earth we can de-louse this tramp without also taking great big chunks of skin with it.
Where am i going with all this? to be honest im not even sure myself - while playing Destiny, i realised i was missing my old flea ridden sheepdog of Dust 514 and upon playing some more of Hotfail Delta see alot of great changes that certainly make things more fun.
I just wish i could see a couple (hell even 1) change that wasnt balancing and was more aimed at modes of play......free for all really that hard to do Rattati? (serious question)
Uncle - (also im playing all weekend, come shoot me if you can (which you cant as you suck))
