Even easy tasks like checking out weapons stats are a torture. The battles are actually boring. Every soldier looks bland and there is not enough feedback on killing things etc. Even if there is much going on on the battlefield, it doesn't feel like there is much going on.
Lots of potential though. Hope they re-make the whole menu structure and get it right soon. I love the feeling of playing a small role in something real big. If done properly, the game could provide one of the most intensive multiplayer experiences ever. But you have to make it way more accessible first.
I bought my ps3 just to be able to play this, only had a couple of goes,but I have to pretty much agree, way too over complicated for a video game.
Feels like it's being built to basement dwelling pc gamer nerd requirements, I sadly suspect it will not appeal to the console masses for the long term.
No doubt stat nerds will love it, but are there enough stat nerds on consoles to make the game pay.
I think the whole point of consoles is to be able to pick up and play, nowt wrong with stats and skill trees, but I think this goes overboard a bit in the implementation.
I showed this game to my 17 year old cod / bf3 fanatical son, after a few of minutes looking around the menus and watching game play, he said ......" looks boring", and went back to cod.
Personally, I hate cod, but I would suspect his opinion would be echoed by an extremely large percentage of the current console war game fanbase.
Call them what you want, but that's where the money is.
Might be a better idea to simplify the game and charge a subscription instead. |

Dust IS more complicated than most PS3 shooters. but it's not THAT complicated. Menus are perfectly clear once you get your way around it (takes 20 minutes tbh). Now regarding fonts, i'm not bothered but i have a rather big screen.
The key in dust, is socialization. Most new players will need help and that's probably what will fill up corporations at the beginning. And tbh, when someone explains it to you, it's easy as pie.

Dunno what happened last post but my reply vanished
Anyhow
Yes I agree, but without grabbing gamer interest fast this game will die. |

I don't how you can simplify it any further. as for too much stat and stat nerds, how much brain power does it require to push triangle and see how much damage a weapon does and how much bullets it holds? Also people like that guys 17 year old son are the reason many games are dumbed down, I base this off that he gave this game no chance after seeing some menus and some game play then went back to COD.
The fact he gave it no chance is what I'm getting at, if he didn't neither will thousands of others. |
