I waited months and months for this game and jumped immediately when the beta became available for $20 just to get a glimpse of what Dust might be. I gotta say, if it's gonna be anything similar to this, I'm terribly disappointed!
I got in the beta a couple months ago and was disappointed then. People in this forum kept telling me it would improve...well...it hasn't! They said that build was just bad...well....this one is too! In fact, I really see no improvements or changes from 2 months ago. I said back then that the beta we were playing would be basically the same game we would be playing and I still think that's true.
For all the time they had to plan and build this thing they sure have farted on it. At it's very most this could be considered a low grade-shooter worthy of being a $4.99 DLC that gets played for a week tops. I just see no possible way for them to make any money on this garbage.
Regardless of minor changes that will be made between now and release, this is the core game that wil be released, and it's just really pathetic!
I wish I could get my $20 back! |

I've played more betas than I care to list here. In every one of them the game we had in beta was basically the same game we had on release....this is no different. Aside from a few minor adjustments here and there, this is exactly the game you will be playing on release....notice I siad YOU will be playing. They've ganked me for enough cash already, don't think I'll fall for the old "it's a beta, it'll be better at release" line.
And...yes! I am dissatisfied with an incomplete game because aside from a complete trashing and rebuilding from the bottom up, I see no way to redeem this disaster!
Sorry bud, the "you don't know nuthin, this is only beta" doesn't work on me. I've seen way too many of them and know exactly how they all turn out. |

Seriously, what exactly were you expecting? "If it's gonna be anything similar to this"? No, man, don't fret, they're going to make it into a Hello Kitty themed racing game with the next build. Well...for 2 months I've been hearing how much it's going to change and be better and so far that's turned out to be nothing but hopeful disillusion.
You all enjoy yourselves....keep on playing and trying to convince yourselves that a miracle is gonna happen and they will **** out a decent game next build. Give em all your cash to play this pathetic excuse of a shooter. I'll be playing something entertaining!.
LMFAO @ all of you delusional hopefuls! |

And people keep saying the core game, what does that mean? Concept, graphics, controls, hit detection or any number of other things. For me the core game is the long run, the integration with eve. Even the market possibilities are enough to get me excited. For me the "core game" is just basically the feel of it. Does it draw me in and make me feel like part of the action? This game fails! All the controls are sloppy to the point of ridiculousness, they've made a joke of the Unreal engine, vision is horrible....nothing at all about the game lets me feel like I'm in a battle. It's just poor execution is all.
In their effort to make an MMO, they forgot to make a shooter (which was the promise). It just doesn't play like a decent shooter in any way.
As I said, I've been in many betas and in every one of them the release ended up just like the beta aside from some minor adjustments to physics, graphics, response, etc. The "feel" of the game is always the same as the beta. I can't exactly describe what I mean by "feel" but it's that thing that draws you into a game and gives you the feeling like you're actually part of it. Like when you get shot and you actually jump in your seat, or when you're in a firefight and your heart is really racing because you don't want to die. This beta lacks that completely! Playing it feels detached from the action, like playing a browser game where you're going through all of the actions and doing the thing but it's just something you're doing and not something you're a part of.
I hope that helps. For me it's just difficult to explain my meaning, but a game must make me feel like what I'm doing matters and I don't see it happening with this one....ever! Maybe some of you people do feel like this game is exciting...for me it's just blah. Playing is like going through the motions but not really feeling anything....like having sex while drunk....you're doing all the stuff but you just aren't connected to it.

I guess to each his own. If you guys are happy with what you're playing then whatever. I just expected so much more. It's just not at all anything I could get excited about. No adrenaline rush, no feeling of fear that I'm gonna die so I better get to cover soon, no feeling of immediacy to do anything...it's just going through the actions without any reward.
Enjoy!
I tried it 2 months ago and was told then that it would get better. Aside from the changes you all say have been made, it's still just a boring pile of sh** IMO. If it's free to play on release then I might give it a shot then to see if it's any better like you all seem to think it will be. If it's not free then I'll just chalk it up to another disappointment that I had high hopes for. No biggie! After all, it's only a friggin game, there's thousands of others to choose from. |

So if you've been here two months then you weren't here for the build before the E3 build right? If you had been then you would see how far it's came. And by you saying you've played betas before, would one of those be the bf3 glorified demo with beta label? That TO THIS DAY they still can't get the goddam game right!! and they're STILL trying to fix it....and why is that? Because they didn't.....run....a......proper.......beta. They didn't do what ccp are doing, they didn't build the game based on the community's input, they did what THEY wanted to do. 'Hey dice, the maps are too big for 24 players on console, please increase to 48 at leaste', dice: 'no, although we have tested said amount of players, you're not getting it'. 'Hey ccp, the maps are really big, what's the chances of a player increase?' Ccp: 'sure fellas, how many do you want? You tell US what you want in the game'. See the difference there? ? PS.........I suggest you change your name to major a$$hole if you think that your lame excuse of a troll thread is going to affect us in any way, see ya!

Oh crap! Half an hour of typing was with that last quote and it's all lost. What a waste of time!
I won't go through it all again, just let me say a couple things and I'll let you all have it until release.
Right now this thing is boring! No, I wasn't here before E3 so I don't know how many changes have been done since then....don't care either. It was boring 2 months ago and it's still boring. If they don't start focusing on the shooter aspect of it soon then it's going to stay boring. Plus....it's not going to make any money! They're selling it as an MMO shooter but so far all I see is an MMO with lame shooter aspects added on as a side note.
It doesn't matter how much work they've done on it or will do on it. If they don't do the RIGHT work on it then it's gonna be a flop. Maybe you all can offer the right feedback to make it into something worth playing....maybe you can't, we'll see!
Telling others who have a disgreeable opinion to yours to leave isn't going to make this thing any better. It's exactly those people who the developers need to hear because they (we) will be the deciding factor whether it makes any money or not.
Sitting back and telling others that this is beta and it will be better at release isn't going to make it so!
Trying to convince people that find it boring into thinking it's really good isn't going to make it so.
I see no way to make this thing into a decent game at this point. Maybe I'll be proven wrong...I hope I am because I had highhopes of a long term investment in this game. Right now (and for the past 2 months) I find it boring, despite any changes they've made in the past 2 months, it's still boring! Like I said...all the work in the world won't make it a good game, it must be the RIGHT work.
One downside to long betas is that people have plenty of time to get bored with them and leave before the game even releases. I've seen it happen several times! Unless they start doing something to make this thing enjoyable and exciting, they won't have to worry about release because many would be players will have already decided it's crap.
Much work needs done in order to make this game exciting and enjoyable....it's about time they started doing that work!
If you disgree and think this is a great beta then that's OK by me. I had hoped for more excitement. Hopefully it's free to play so I get another chance to try it after release to see how much better you all helped them make it. As for what I've seen over 2 months of work on it I'm just a little less than confident that it's going to be an enjoyable game on release and aside from some really rave reviews from trusted friends, I wouldn't bother spending anything on it...and I'm not the only one! |
