Well, at least some of the reasons why.
Recent press on DUST 514 has been kind of disheartening. And sometimes beta testing the game and trying to keep a positive outlook while standing up for my own particular views on the forums feels like a dream where I am walking through sand and the harder you try to move the more difficult it becomes and after an endless amount of time I look around me only to find I am in the exact same place and haven't moved more than a few inches. Sometimes the whole thing can be very discouraging.
But today I read the Eurogamer review of the PC release, Prepare to Die Edition, of Dark Souls. It was somehow uplifting and reminded me of why I like some of the games that I do. There are a lot of great passages and quotable lines. Among them:
"This is one of the few games that treats you like an intelligent being."
I like a game that doesn't treat me like I'm a dumbass. I would go so far as to say I am looking for a game that doesn't really treat me any particular way at all. A game that is just there for me to play and make of it what I will.
At the science fiction end of the spectrum...

You said that dust hasn't gone a long way......... I would say it has if you look at gameplay from the eve fanfest you will immediately notice improvement. With that said i still think this game has a long way to go......, although i think ccp is probably already playing on a new build.
Yeah, I would guess they are already at least build and a half ahead... One getting ironed out for qa, one where they are perfecting and adding in more of the must be ready by launch features.
I think DUST has gone a very far distance since whenever it was I got involved. It is so easy to forget how much the beta has progressed from the build just after fanfest but before E3. It is like a train that won't slow down. Not for anyone or anything until it reaches it's final destination. Even with the return of hard freezes.
But really I was trying to capture how I feel about the entire experience. Both in game hard freezes and reading the same tired thing on the forums (I will translate one of the attitudes that really bothers me as "Console players are too dumb and lazy to want to play an interesting game.") and every time I read that here I think, "FFS, this horse puckey again?"
The beta craps out and so I jump on the forums only to read the same tired arguments and nay saying and so on for the 100th time and it's like Groundhog day or something every time I have to reset my PS3.
Except for the fact that there haven't been any auto aim threads, or complaints about heavies recently...
Anyways, Beta tester blues mostly down to me, and after reading about Dark Souls on PC got inspired about great innovative game making again. |

This is because you brought up groundhog day, and it should get a chuckle ou
Ha, nice.
And then it hit me. What if I am turning into my merc from too much beta testing? I mean, think about it, re-awaken in a new body, gear up, run into battle, get killed, gear up again, get killed, over and over... |
