Yours truly,
Flame Bait.
I have two words for those that feel this way (and I have seen it a few times the past couple days)...marketplace competition. You see Eve could afford to spend years tinkering and getting things wrong and fixing them because Eve is the ONLY game like it on the marketplace. Copetition in Eve's pond is virtually nil. The console FPS marketplace, on the other hand, is the most competatiive market in video gaming, period. CCP does not have years to get Dust right because gamers have no place else to go for this sort of game. Yes Dust has features and promises more than those games ever will, that is why I have defended this game and CCP to friends and posters on forums since I got into the beta in February. But after screwing me on this aurum refund (yes I am still pissed about the MAG suits) if they release the game as it is playing today, I will not be defending it when people rip[ this game (and they will rip this game apart) and I am certainly not going to spend anymore money on this game. These aren't threats, just facts, and yes I am only one person, but at least half the playerbase on these forums is angry about something since yesterday.
So yeah if CCP thinks they can treat Dust like Eve development wise and get away with it they are naive. |

Good games never have to build up momentum, slowly correct errors, and make mistakes. All the good pieces of artwork in history were made at once, with no revision, editing, or problems. Dust is obviously doomed to fail, as the beta isn't perfectly balanced. I take it you didn't play eve in 2003? It wasn't anything compared to what it is now. Dust (like eve) will continue to evolve, and it will get better and better.
Eve only had time to evolve because CCP was not just a big fish in a small pond it is the ONLY fish in its pond, it had room and time to grow because it was not facing competition. Dust is a guppy in a lake full of pirahnas, it isn't going to have time to grow because the competition is going to eat it alive. IF it releases and is reviewed in this state. You really think Sony is going to support a f2p game that doesn't help convince people to buy playstations because the game reviewed terribly and because half its player base trashes it on gaming sites? This belief that Dust will just grow like Eve is silly. Different games, different markets, different competition = different pressures.
And I am not one who has been bashing CCP or Dust until yesterday! I was drinking the CCP kool-aid until they dropped this as their launch product. |
