In the end, he has a valid set of points. I have yet to see one instance where EvE and Dust have anything more than a symbolic relationship. And I do find myself forcing my way through match after tedious match praying to God the next enhancement I skill into changes game-play one iota. I generally think the game is pretty good, but it isn't doing anything extremely new or cool. |

This is the beta review. They're going to roll out a release review once they've worked all the bugs out. Or not, but either way, you'll have to read the same review over and over again until they do. Or don't. Of course, if you pay a little cash, they won't make you read it as often. Or they might. But don't worry, because readers of USA Today can actually send you passes to let you skip some of the reading if you promise to be faithful to their publication. Or they might just not even care. You have to admit, though, for what is completed, it's a AAA review already. |

I have, and I still am. I'm on my fifteenth frame of a very important match right now. I have just enough time to write this reply and get coffee before the next frame gets posted. |

I've been warning about the poor gunplay for months, and have said several times the game was released too early. It is a closed beta quality product now, and should have not been given out to the masses, yet. CCP can only blame themselves. Can't rate a game on potential only in the now. Dust is a 4.4 as a shooter it's below sub par MMORPGs are rated on potential. That's why they have revisits a year after release or after a new expansion. MMOFPS shouldn't be any different.
This particular MMOFPS is pretty much an MOFPS, because I've yet to see anything massive. MMORPGs let you wander from town to town, meeting all kinds of people conversationally (within gameplay no less), and cobble together a unique character from those experiences. Dust jams a gun in your hand and lets you fight 16 v 16, with your uniqueness swallowed up in a series of either off-balance or derivative skirmishes as you try out a few suits and weapons/equipment. Hence, I would call Dust a COFPS: customizable online FPS. |

As it is, his score would be fair if he actually played it for more than a day. I'm well aware this game has issues.... but half that review is outright lies.
Main complaints were perfectly valid. Dust is a poor FPS, there's no way around it. And it will justly be judged as an FPS. If the FPS mechanics don't improve - like us FPS players have been demanding and giving them feedback for close to a year -, Dust will die slowly. If you can't admit this reviewer has no idea what he's talking about, did not do research, and lied numerous times.... we have nothing to discuss; as you are obviously a trolling hater looking for any excuse to trash Dust.
Easy, honey! What if I got you flowers? |
