That was an extremely lazy review of DUST. Unbelievably so. How do I know that for a fact?
His character was Game Trailers. It was created on 2013.05.22 00:40. He played the game for less than a day and lambasted it. Most games have a review copy sent out a week before release, and reviews come out either shortly after or about a week after release. This was the case with Skyrim.
In short, he spent a mere day playing it. Less, even, since he would have had to edit the footage and provide the voiceover. |

Yes, I said that. CCP has either decided to ignore some of our most vocal complaints, and ideas for improvement, or are incompetent at prioritization or FPS game design. Either way, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the state of the game, and pessimistic about its prospects in the future.
Disagree. First, you have to know what constitutes a good game. I count none of the CoD series, or the BF (apart from 1942) series to be any good. Why? CoD is essentially a beefed up, dumbed down version of CS, which, IMO, is a lot more fun, a lot more fast paced, and incredibly addicting. The original still has 30k+ players fourteen years on.
In essence, I'm challenging the casual FPS crowd on their claim that they know what constitutes a good game. CoD and BF have stagnated over the years, providing the same basic gameplay without any innovation or ingenuity, solely with prettier graphics.
I can't classify any of the modern FPS games to be good. The shooter mechanics are all similar, the gameplay is similar, the only things different are some basic features, the setting, and (if there is one) the story. I find them fun, yes, but good? If anything, average. Well, Borderlands was good.
Essentially, the "hardcore" FPS crowd these days don't have the faintest clue at what constitutes a good shooter, simply because they're used to the average. This may mean DUST is below average, shooter wise, but it does NOT mean you have the right to call first dibs on any changes. It does NOT mean you have the right to claim "I know how, CCP listen to me!". It does NOT mean you have the right to shout down EVE players on what constitutes a good shooter. DUST will be more like EVE than any shooter. Does this mean EVE players have more say? No. What it means that your claims of "I'm a hardcore shooter, my views are more valid" are completely idiotic.
A lot of EVE players have played shooters. Most, if not all, EVE players who play DUST have played shooters. Does this mean, just because they have the "downside" of having played EVE, they shouldn't be listened to? Simply because they know New Eden much better than you do, they know how CCP does things?
Get your head out of your *** and stop spouting absolute ****. |

It says symbolic, and even then your description of symbiotic is a little bit off, symbiotic simple means both organisms benefit from each other not a requirement of each other to survive, for example E. Coli in our stomachs, it is a symbiotic relationship because they provide a bacterial flora that keeps other harmful bacteria away, and produce Vitamin K2, while we provide them a home with food. But if they died we wouldn't die and if we died they would just live in our stomachs until they run out of food of get passed to another animals stomach, maggots, that ingest us.
That's not particularly symbiotic, that's just mutual help. A better symbiotic relationship would be bacteria in the rabbit. Rabbits can't digest cellulose, hence why they eat their own poo. Bacteria break down the cellulose into sugars, which the rabbit can then use. If the bacteria die, the rabbit dies. If the rabbit dies... Well, guess the bacteria move on. But they don't have any use in any other animal, so would be classed as an invader, therefore... |
