This has been and continues to be the biggest drawback of Dust - legitimate concern, as were the list of Cons in his article.
Lot of potential but a premature launch. |

CCP really needs to do a better job bringing new players into the fold.
This guy was reviewing the game for a major online MMO news/review site, and didn't even join any squads or try getting together with a corporation. Imagine how lost a MMO newb would feel.
This game sucks for lone wolfing, but is awesome playing in squads and CCP needs to make this apparent for new players. |

Reason it's a con in my interpretation it's because dust can't stand on its own 2 legs. Dust without eve will just be a shooter. |

A short voiceover cut scene saying something like "New Eden is a harsh place, and you're not going to make it far on your own. You must find other mercenaries who share your goals and vision to fight by your side, and you by theirs." With some quick snips of how to invite players to squad, or search corporations, and then maybe some cut scene style "gameplay" where a Merc is getting owned and goes down, but as the voice says "you must find other mercenaries..." another merc comes into the shot and revives the guy, would do wonders. |

Preach the truth, brotha!
Heck, this game sucks for lone wolfing at 9.5 million SP. I can't imagine what the NPE is like.
New players have to do way too much work with their fittings, too. None of the reviews are going to take into account the times that you are stuck with the exact same fittings for months on end while grinding the SP for a proto suit. |

Quote: Playing EVE on my couch is bizarre. I know, technically it's called DUST 514, but let's be serious. DUST is basically the beginnings of a massive EVE Online expansion if you subscribe to the notion that EVE is a virtual world as opposed to merely a strategy game featuring internet spaceships and internet drama.
Well at least the reviewer makes the same stupid mistake of thinking Dust in its current state is anything more then a lobby FPS that all the EvE players here do. |

I rather get a guy who doesn't paint himself as a fanboi of other games and takes every game for itself from the raw. Clearly this guy hates New Eden and doesn't understand it. |

Ccp didn't pay enough money to the reviewers so we got a bad review. CoD gets 10/10 for the same game released every time because Activision had no problem lining their pockets. This has been proven time and time again with other games too, like dragon age 2 |

The review speaks for what I stand for. I want Dust 514 to prevail, I love the idea of it, but so far it has been launched poorly and new players are definitely going to be intimidated, plus the gameplay isn't interesting really... |

I played like 5 matches on my alt in Academy (then I WP capped)....to be honest fighting players with equal gear/sp is more fun then the regular game. |

He wanted there to be a mouse pointer for the menus, thats actually the whole gripe.
I don't really care, i tend to go through most menus without a mouse on the pc anyways, its generally quicker, but Im getting old so I guess the youngins don't. |

It was a fair look Dust. Don't forget, this is written from the perspective of a newbie and only after a days worth of gameplay, it's a first impression and extremely accurate.
The things he pointed out that were good or bad, are the same good and bad things we've been talking about for months (or even years I guess). The only point that didn't work was the communication one, he somehow missed that there is free voice chat besides everywhere besides local. |

I concur. The academy, being a little bit more balanced than regular pub matches, is actually a lot of fun. |

The Academy was screwing up yesterday, so I manually looked for a Merc game. Found one with one spot open and figured what the heck.
Full 32 man games. Full corps with full loadouts (heavies, scouts etc). Eve ship stuff from above. Or something coming down from above. Full voice chat with objective callouts. Revives, resupplies, the full experience.
It was a thing of beauty. I had felt pretty smug with my 5.1 headset/mic and KB/M on Academy servers. This here - I was getting stomped hard. And it was awesome.
Compared to Academy games, it might as well have been two different games.

6 hours is longer than you can expect a new player to spend playing before deciding to keep playing or not.
The first few hours of this game are pretty terribad. Nothing about how the game ACTUALLY operates is explained to a new player. |

The review was pretty fair, but I still smell a hint of PC elitism from the author and definitely from the commenters on the site the article was from. I don't get why SOME PC gamers don't understand that Dust is not on PC because Sony is supporting its development in some way or form and thus they want it exclusive to the PS3 so that Dust helps them sell PS3 and soonsih PS4. |

Eve online had a very premature launch. In fact, Eve Online started out with fat less features and limited visuals than how DUST has started now. Yes, it needs work, but that's the whole point of having free updates and constant hotfixes for the next ten years. Just like Eve and just like Rome, DUST was not built in a day. |
