It was also stated to both Eve players and CCP that Dust would be reviewed by the same people that love COD, BF3, Killzone, Halo, and other FPS games so get it right before the release. Instead of fixing their game they plugged their ears to FPS players concerns and went la la la la la you dont know what your talking about while encouraged to do so by Eve players.
And thankfully so. The ignorance displayed by this reviewer is exactly the kind of people that I'd rather not see in Dust, or more importantly the Dust forums begging for COD New Eden.
Dust doesn't need the playerbase of the FPS majors, and it will continue to improve. What we have right now is merely the foundation. |

Dust doesn't need the playerbase of the FPS majors, and it will continue to improve. What we have right now is merely the foundation. Once again we don't want COD New Eden but at least a good FPS. Dust as a FPS is below par. It's the worst FPS ever created TBH. The RPG element is nice but CCP didn't seem to give a **** about the core of the game that they constantly call a AAA shooter. Dust is a failure because of EVE players and CCP's inability to listen to the FPS players. So while you keep your elitist attitude towards FPS players who play COD/BF3/MAG etc You're the reason Dust will die!
Dust isn't going anywhere. Also, Dust will be a better game because of the "Eve elitists", but it won't be COD New Eden thankfully. The only thing that would cause Dust to die is if it became COD New Eden, or, just like the other fpses. |

The only thing that would cause Dust to die is if it became COD New Eden, or, just like the other fpses. Yeah I'm sure CCP's target audience was EVE online players by putting it on the console. You are right about one thing Dust wont be going anywhere at all!
Dust's target audience are people that pay. And you're right, Dust will be here, evolving, for a long time.
Currently, Dust's concurrent playerbase is between 1/4 and 1/3 that of Eve. Now, obviously, I don't know how the revenue compares, but let me just reiterate - Dust doesn't need, and would be worse off, with the kind of player that the reviewer represents.
Having said that, the reviewer raises some valid points, but many others are way off. For example, the oft mentioned gold scrambler rifle. The complaints about suits all seeming the same, the sound effects, the skill tree. Let's be honest, if you can't tell the difference, qualitatively or quantitatively, between a scout or a heavy, you are of subpar intellect. He's also way off with the summary "Dust isn't even worth one minute of your time"
These sorts of baseless complaints come from people that want Dust to be COD New Eden. You should be able to log in and own up. no thought required, no tactics, no squadding, no metagame, nothing.
