I also wish I had never played it.
I'm so conflicted about this game. Everything about it annoys the **** out of me and I never enjoy it, I just get angry, I hate the players, I despise the games controls, the illogical way the stats work in the game is infuriating. It's just not fun at all. People call it the "smart person's shooter" but quite frankly I don't see anything "smart" about it. It's just full of the same kind of people. The mechanics just make zero sense, the game is less about skill and more about what you really understand of the game, or if you're ******* lucky enough to have gotten used to the games unbelievably sub-par framerate.
And even so, I still WANT to enjoy this game. I WISH that I could. Every time I rage-delete Dust off my PS3, I feel sad because it could have been a better game. I'm relatively decent at the FPS games that I pick up, Rainbow Six, CoD, BF, Timesplitters, and the same with 3rdPS, like Transformers and Uncharted, yet with this game I ALWAYS do bad. But just a second ago I chose a new Combat Rifle, went 11/2, high on the leaderboard, felt like I accomplished something. Next game, same equipment, got ******* stomped.
I think that if the game didn't confuse me so much I wouldn't be so angered by it. Almost every game I sat there just thinking or shouting "HOW?!" as players effortlessly floor me, while I tickle them. I don't feel like it's a fair playing field either, due to the infinite number of stats and the poor connections and framerate. It's just not fair that I can't really explore my potential in this game.
I also hate the game because it's anti-solo. No, I don't believe FPS games should /ever/ focus on teamwork. I don't go out and get games just so I can rely on the pitiful intelligence of some tool halfway across the globe who isn't even holding the controller correctly. I should be allowed the privilege of running solo. I enjoy the aspect of teamwork, but there are days where I feel really introverted and I just couldn't care for interaction, I just want to ******* shoot ****. I also swear that the only people even playing this game now are Americans and it just leaves me at a disadvantage. I also really don't enjoy talking to Americans (because honestly, the only ones I come across sound like they just woke up and took a hit from a bong, the lack of energy in their voices makes me want to slit my throat, it's that depressing.)
I hope when (and if) Project Legion drops it'll have the same basic mechanics but just... executed better. I can't play this game, at all, it leaves me lost and confused. It's such a quirky game, and is one of those "acquired taste" kind of games, something I'm lacking. The never ending list of "POSSIBLE COOL SUIT LOADOUTS!" doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'm not of low intellect, but all this info just bores me, especially when it's ******* useless. There's so much **** about this game that just annoys me, the same kind of crap that's in other games, but it annoys me harder in this. Like I couldn't care less if my team aren't going for the objective in BF, I can usually do something about it myself and at least create an opening, but in Dust I NEED players around me or I just get DESTROYED. God it's so insufferable.
Either way, the negatives far outweigh the positives for me. I'm hooked, but it's not something I want to be hooked on. Dust is seriously a disappointment for me. It could have been so interested but just the gunplay ruins it. |
