It never ceases to amuse me when people claim DUST 514 shouldn't be based in realism. |

Especially when some EvE lore master can just make up some BS and suddenly it's realistic. Like inertial dampeners.
My face when I read OP
:D
So let's just make the guns shoot sticks of liquid butter, and enemies can summon giant octopus mounts that can poison people and jump from one end of the map to the other. That's fun, right? |

How is a giant octopus mount any more ridiculous than dancing back and forth like you're Michael Jackson on crack? CCP did say they thought the strafing looked downright silly, after all. |

Yes, you could do that... I did say fun though, not down right ridiculous. Some people like to over exaggerate. There is absolutely nothing "realistic" about Dust 514 yet people always want to use "realism" as an argument. Interstellar space travel with FTL drives is unrealistic and far from even being realized. Clones that can transfer thought memories etc... unrealistic. The only thing "realistic" about Dust514 is one guy shoots another guy but with unrealistic weaponry.
Nothing unrealistic? Let's see here.
Gravity. Seems pretty realistic to me.
Gun kill people. Yep, that's real too.
Breathing masks for averse atmospheric conditions? Yep, also realistic.
What about Tanks and jeeps? Those seem pretty realistic as well. I mean, they're vehicles and can drive around the map. Is there an issue with that?
Let's see, what else... oh! The economy part of the game is really realistic! You need to spend money on the things you use in the battle. How is that not realistic?
But if you want to say realism has no place in DUST 514, then why can't I have my octopus mount? I'm confused. |

Moving back and forth yes, but not moving-at-sprinting-speed-while-aiming-down-the-site-and-changing-direction-on-a-dime. That is just as unrealistic as a flying octopus. |
