Take this into consideration and buy a PC.

Sorry, had to do it.



On a more serious note, I would say that most Dust players would be willing to argue that there is no really good FPS anywhere. That most likely comes from the fact that we all look for some depth to a game that really does not exist in the FPS world. Even tho up to now I would consider it a failure I still applaud CCP for breaking that FPS mold.

This exactly. In fact many of the FPS games on console are the same ones that are "big" on PC.

The whole gaming industry is just in a ridiculous state of flux thanks to the arguments over microtransactions and what not.


I would argue that they hype machine and pre-ordering has completely crapped on games over the last couple of years. When a company spends millions hyping up a game and in turn collects millions from pre-orders on day 1 the goal becomes not to deliver a good game that gets good reviews but to hit the deadline so they do not lose orders. This leads to buggy products and generally less emphasis on actual quality. When the game gets bagged on for being substandard they just convince you to buy the game all over again in the form of a DLC saying this will make it good now.

In the past when a game was about to be released it was about getting out copies to high level reviewers that people trusted in an attempt to drive sales through quality. In today's market all that matters is name recognition and marketing budgets.


Mobile gaming has evolved into a different form factor that sets it apart. Mobile gaming is driven by either in game ads or microtransactions and sometimes even a combination of the two. This means that the developers need to produce a game that you will stick with because you want to instead of making you stick around and spend more just out of buyer's remorse.
