What is wrong with the above statement? Well nothing really besides the obvious grammatical mistakes, what is wrong is the console market itself. Reading these forums has shown me just how many whiny bitches exist playing PS3. I've seen threads that the UI is too hard to figure out, that reading all the tutorials is too hard, that its too hard because people with better skills can stomp people with lower skills.
So, while I will admit that I've seen a fair number of tears in the posts, I think that your own post is very telling. Have people complained about UI & some of the sensitivities/issues? Yeah. But that doesn't mean that their complaints aren't valid.

I haven't heard any complaints about "too hard' just fair & balanced gameplay (and by fair & balanced, they mean unfair & balanced in their favor but with fixing things like hit detection - which is very in keeping with the spirit). Some of it is very whiny but a good chunk of it is satire. We will continue to troll, scam, and kill them here.

Were we not known as the grand adventurous sociopathic explorers of this vast galaxy? Now to think that these, lesser beings are polluting our galaxy with their idiotic ignorance and laziness.
This CCP is a disgrace to a game holding your mark. This is why we cried out against putting Dust on consoles why it should remain in a much, "purer" world. Where not every 13 year old is able to access it. Where the grandiose splendor of New Eden might be preserved.......
Honestly, this part reads as carebear tears.

My point being Dust is simply much harder than what your average console gamer is used to. I'd be surprised if it reached numbers surpassing EVEs numbers
Dust isn't a finished product yet. Once it is a finished product there will be niches for everyone in addition to a skill based grouping system for setting up matches. In the end the difficulty curve will pull in more players than it drives away if we're able to get things like hit detection nailed down before the official release.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the game develops & watching the numbers rise to rival those of New Eden's capsuleers. |
