SoGǪ you seem a little upset that my opinion of this game is different to yours? Probably most people who feel like I do simply quit and never even think about Dust again, and IGÇÖm certain most of them wouldnGÇÖt take the time to share their thoughts on the forum, thus allowing the fanboy circle-jerk to continue oblivious to popular opinionGǪ
But anyhow, taking your advice I thought IGÇÖd give this game a longer go, I mean if you didnGÇÖt enjoy being raped the first time then you should stick with it until it becomes fun, right? So I lubed up and made an alt (for the alleged matchmaking you spoke of) and played for several hours until I couldnGÇÖt stand it anymore, and the result was basically more of the same.
The controls were incredibly bad and clunky (and deliberately worse if you try to play heavy) and this hurt a lot, particularly trying to step across from PC fps gaming. By using a standard controller I also feel at a disadvantage to players who might have a keyboard and mouse set up.
Getting into a battle still took a long time. After punching the instant (ha!) battle button the quickest load in I had was 2.5mins, and the longest was 9.5mins. The average for the afternoon was about 4.5mins. If you think this is ok, then stare at this sentence for 4.5mins (IGÇÖll wait), and then tell me if you still think this is ok.
Some of the physical play areas made no sense: why do I have to jump to climb up a 6 inch gutter? why do I seem to snag on corners? why canGÇÖt a fit between a building and a fence when there is clearly enough space? I even saw some graphical glitches in the form of corpses doing the jitterbug half in and half out of the ground, although maybe it was just nanites celebrating their liberationGǪ
There were many, many frustrating deaths. Lots of one shot kills, or slaughter immediately after spawning. If by some miracle I managed to survive and get the drop on the enemy they would often tank an entire magazine from me, then kill me laughing as I strafed and bunny hopped while trying to reload. In total I managed to achieve a kd ratio of almost 0.1 woot.
And confirming the obvious: militia gear is rubbish. With it I donGÇÖt have the power or accuracy to hit anything at a distance greater than armGÇÖs length, and I donGÇÖt have the armour to close in for the kill either, which really limits combat options. If an open space was required to be crossed I would have to wait for teammates to lead a charge, leaving me feeling more like a baby crossing the road than an immortal space warrior! I tried to upgrade some stuff to tier 1 gear (wow) but failed miserably without the skills in place (foolishly I had used my available points to improve shield and armour, then had none left). So because I have rubbish gear, I get rubbish results and rubbish income, meaning itGÇÖs even harder to get ahead. lol it's like trying to make isk by fighting pvp with an impairor in nullsec!
Like I said earlier, things donGÇÖt need to be super-easy, just fair. A game should be easy to learn and hard to master, and it should be fun! For me Dust seems to be none of these things.
