and for me, not playing for most of 2015 and trying to get back into it now, i absolutely hate it

the myofibril jumpy ****** **** is really, REALLY unbalanced

Funnily enough, I literally just bought Destiny two hours ago and will be giving it a go as soon as it's done updating. Can you tell me if there's any differences between consoles? I bought Dark Souls II for the PS3 about two weeks ago, and when someone told me about some stuff I could get, I searched for hours and could never find what they were talking about. I later learned that the PS4 version has things that the PS3 version doesn't, and it turned me off of the game horribly. I really don't want the same thing to happen with Destiny, because it looks pretty cool, otherwise.

For me, its the controller and not just the aiming mehanics in Dust that screw me over when I switch consoles/games. The PS3 controller has dead zones in their analog sticks, this is where that jerky feeling comes from, as you need to move the stick so much before the console detects it actually moving, then it just jerks.

This can be seen in other PS3 games as well with aiming mechanics. The Xbone and the PS4 don't have these dead zones so it feels less jerky, which is why it feels smoother.

To compensate for these dead zones, I acutally use an FPS Freek for my PS3 controller to extend it. Doesn't completely eliminates the dead zone, but it does help. Also helps my big hands grip better onto that small controller.

Dust even with all the bugs is one of a kind and I still believe it will be THE game

Fundamentally no gameplay difference but the PS3 version is blurry as sin.

Not so much the PS4 Version of Dark Souls, but the SotFS version of the game. Its pretty much an updated version of Dark Souls 2. Yes it is also the name of the Xbone and PS4 release, however you can get the SotFS bundle for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as DLC.

Bit of a warning though, if you have never played a Souls game, don't get the SotFS DLC straight away. The Pursuer and the extra phantoms will make you cry and drive you insane.

As a little experiment I took a few weeks off of Dust 514 and did nothing but play Destiny (I bought a PS4, stow your "Judge 2.0" comments).

Now, I'd played Destiny on the PS3 for a little while when it first came out but wasn't really into it. It came with the PS4 though so I decided to give it another go, noticed they fixed a lot of problems. It's actually a half decent game. One thing that absolutely -sealed it-, however, was the aiming. I don't know what it is, but Destiny's aiming mechanics are pretty awesome for a console game.

Coming back to Dust, I feel like I've unlearned all the muscle memory it took to be somewhat decent at this game. Aiming is like trying to pull your gun through syrup but somehow feels slippery like it's on ice. Yet, somehow, at the same time, it feels very jerky (particularly in ADS). It's hard to describe. The "aim assist" that everyone complained about is so subtle you don't even notice it when compared to Destiny. A lot of the time I feel like I should be landing rounds but I just can't because the game just doesn't want to co-operate with what I'm doing on the controller.

I think that's why the strafe-game was so powerful in Dust 514, I feel. It wasn't that strafing was too fast or too easy, it was quite simply that it's near impossible to aim with any sort of precision unless you've been playing Dust 514 for -so long- that it's just instinctual; familiarity with the shortcomings.

I dunno. Just my 2 ISK. But because of this I'm finding it extremely difficult to play Dust 514 again with any degree of success and this 21 wins thing for the SKIN is starting to feel more like a chore after the third loss in a row xD

Oh man I hear you. Trying to play Destiny and Dust at the same time is painful because the aim assist is SO strong in Destiny. Hell there are perks in destiny to make weapons have increased aim assist. Going back to Dust its like "Well **** my gun doesn't automatically snap to peoples faces anymore..."

Wait boyko stop the horses.
Approx 1/3 of destiny perks is not working properly anymore (since HoW) XD

Nice blogpost smdh tbqh fam

Unfortunately, my blog posts have to go through a process to make sure I don't actually mention anything covered by NDA. That process is very very low on the priority list as far as things actually being worked on (like, yanno, the game). So, if you're talking about lack of updates, that's why.

Or if you're just talking about the posts in that blog in general, well, feel free to do a better job

After taking a small break from dust and playing shooters on my PC again it made me realise - "How the hell have I put up with terrible KB/M aiming in this game for so long".

The gameplay and possibilities of gameplay mixed with deep character progression have always been a big draw but I do think the issues, errors, problems and bugs are starting to become too much for most people.

I mean most other games developers out there would have somewhat patched their way out of the performance lacking bug hole we appear to be in. Not CCP. Its hard to keep excited about a broken game when every time CCP announce something new and exciting they withdraw it or you dont hear a dickie-bird about it again.

Fair enough XD

Even so, Destiny aim assist is intense

Yup AimAss is over the top in destiny, but movement and aiming itself (in core mechanics) are awesome.
Dust is little clunky here.

Basicaly Dust reminds me walking and aiming in lines.
Destiny is more "flowish" like.

Totally agree. Destiny has incredibly smooth aiming and controls, its one of the things I think Bungie nailed. At the end of the day it really comes down to "Did the controls feel responsive and enjoyable to use?" and Destiny trumps Dust in that regard.

Don't get me wrong, there are elements of Dust that are far superior to Destiny, but in terms of controls and fluidiy of movement, Destiny takes the cake.

Bf3 had aiming perfect and once you got you muscle memory trained you could headshot all day.
