Truthfully, this game is more of a MMORPG than a hardcore FPS. In my Opinion.
yes, you play from a first-person perspective. and yes, you shoot guns.
but everything else about Dust is RPG if you look past the fluff promo dev talk and look at the game itself.
Skills that need to be trained in order to fight better, Fittings aka weapon/armor slots, weapons and armor that have clear, visible, and widely varied stats on them.
and so on and so forth. its a matter of perspective. and a MMORPG, not a hardcore shooter, is sitting behind that FPS perspective.
in a competitive, hardcore FPS, none of these things are needed. you grab a gun, pick a loadout, and whoever has the better twitch skills wins. no need to have Rifle Operations 5 trained to use a rifle at maximum efficiency. thats a RPG convention.
IMO this game is a MMORPG with FPS elements. not the other way around. closest comparison I can come up with is Tabula Rasa or if I stretch to single-player games, Fallout 3 or as someone else suggested, Mass Effect.
If they kept everything the exact same, but replaced our guns with magic staves shooting fireballs, it wouldn't be a FPS anymore, would it? it'd be Skyrim Online.
Thats my perspective on the game so far. |

tabula rasa was dope.
this feels a lil like it, not much but a lil. weapons skilling feels similar.
what's wrong with rpg elements in a fps?
Peace

Nothing is wrong with it at all.
Dust is a lot more than just "rpg elements in a FPS", that was my point.
It's more like FPS elements in a RPG. and there is nothing wrong with that either. in fact, that is what i expected this game to be.
A lot of people I think, expected it to be a Competitive Pure FPS with rpg elements type deal, and its not quite that.
the guy who said Mass effect, yeah thats a much better example of what I meant than Fallout 3 was. Kudos. In fact, I am changing my OP to reflect it. |

you read the thread title, and the thread starter's name and immediately came to post a belittlement without reading the OP, just because it was me. if it were any other poster you would have at least read the first post before making yours.
yeah, Fallout 3 wasn't the best example. Mass Effect was.
but I was exhausted from 5-day consecutive 12 hour work shifts, and my brain wasn't working 100% at the time. my bad. |

The rest of the OP is just balking at the game not being the kind of FPS he apparently wants it to be.[ Well, there are other games out there which are "hardcore shooters", where everything is egalitarian and the only thing that matters is player skill. Dust isn't that, never advertised itself as that, and will never become that. So either learn to like Dust for what it is or find a new FPS.
if that is what you got from my thread, then you haven't read anything in it.
