....It's an online-only First Person Shooter. If you want to wander the desert for fourty years you're at the wrong game. |

I know, but those don't necessarily translate into us getting free roam, and would infact be the worst way to do it. No strategy, business or economics simulation going makes you roam around to do all that, and it makes even less sense in a first person shooter where your whole point of being is at a specific location attacking/defending something.
Free Roam would be awful for this game. |

Free Roam would be awful for this game. Do you have any idea how irritating it is when you constantly bold everything?
Do you have any idea how little I care? |

Free Roam would be awful for this game. Actually it'd make it more interesting. You know how many people would jump at the chance just to go and explore planets just for the hell of it. Even if it's in a game. Let me ask you this. How many games involve even being able to actually go on a planet? A full sized one. Not some skimpy little SOE version like they had in SWG that was like 25km by 25km and represented the whole surface. But full several thousands of km's of terrain to run through? The only games I've seen that had that capability were the games from 3000AD. Infinity:Quest for Earth was working on that same thing. Except they were doing the whole space and ground thing as one game.
The whole point of being a merc on Dust is to be employed to accomplish a certain objective in a certain area. Free roaming is a ******* awful idea and would destroy this game. |

Walking around your Hab-room and the war room is grating and clunky enough as it is, why you would ever want a free-roam aspect of that i'll never understand. |

No, it's because opening a third front of a game that doesn't have the problems of the first two fronts ironed out is fundamentally re-tarded. Stfu rookie. |

So they should let all that prerendered terrain go to waste? You're so narrow minded man, it's a damn shame. It literally wouldn't effect you, at all, what so ever, while simultaneously giving others a different aspect to work from. Some people won't EVER touch PvP in this game, and will just kill drones, or, if we can roam, will roam around exploring and finding resources and such. Get over yourself.
Actually it does, seeing as PvP and supposedly PvE are the central points of Dust, and both need people in specific points of a planet to accomplish it. Free-roaming a galaxy doing nothing is directly opposed to being paid to do something, as we are supposed to be doing. The more people you take from that the worse the game gets, so yeah, it does effect me.
Just another example of a potential fanbase getting overexcited in a Beta thinking the universe will literally be their oyster, and I can -guarantee- it won't work out like that, at least not for a considerable passage of time (multiple years). Keep dreaming. |

No, you -think- it will have a ton of players, and to achieve that it has to have a dedicated and addicted gameplay, which it doesn't have yet. It's riddled with bugs and unimaginative gameplay aside from the financial aspects, so how about we stick to what the game is being marketed as initially before we go aiming for the ifs and buts, eh chief? |
