this sounds exactly like the feedback thread

well it is an FPSMMORPG. It is the general concept. my question is do you value the game with those concepts in an fps settin?

it is. I just expanded on my thoughts a little here.

I also think that compare Dust514 to Fallout3 would be abit too harsh.
There is nothing FPS about that game (none that I can feel when I played anyway).

I believe Dust closest relative would be Borderland series.
A shooter with skill tree, A gun with stat, Tons of equipment to choose from, a long gunfight with big HP pool.
Yet there is no pause nor aim assist, you still need to dance and rely on your aim to land those uber dmg stat of yours.
Still, if you venture somewhere you shouldn't enemy will outleveled you even you headshot them you will only do 1 dmg.

FO3 didn't feel FPS to you? We're you playing it on first person view without using V.A.T.S.? Playing this way, that's all it was was FPS with skills that refined combat abilities. But no, Dust isn't FO3 and it's not CoD and it's not Boarderlands. It's it's own game and I actually like it's differences.

i thought that was the point of the game... more rpg, more choices.


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?

Dust is as much a FPS as FO3 ?

Let's be serious for a minute....

that's cool

as for my opinion, i feel that this isn't going to be a hard core fps at all. this isn't the original counter strike where everyone has the same potential for everything as soon as the matches start.

and with added modules and meta you can't become super hardcore. if i can plant explosives at a site and some guy thinks he is going to get a easy hack isn't going to be getting that hack off.

I did play FO3 in 1st person view (because 3rd person view is very wanky) but I alway use V.A.T.S. and pause all the time.
So yea, I played it like a RPG that's why it's not FPSish to me at all lol.
I always utilize all the tools the game have to offer.
I believe that's how Dev want their game to be played.

But you are right, Dust514 is its own game not any other game. It's just that ppl keep saying CoD this Halo that and saying that CCP should look at what make other game success and adapt them to their own game. I believe if CCP gonna look somewhere they should look at Borderland which IMO they shouldn't. Dust514 is fine the way it is. It doesn't need to be like other game and I love it for that.

It is "Adapt or Die" here.

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.

If you're shooting guns at people in first person perspective, it's a FPS. 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.
