The only thing that this reviewer has a good point on are the lack of game modes and the lack of eve/Dust interaction. Beyond that, he's an idiot.

The entire review is a blatantly obvious comparison to COD and the rest, with the reviewer not judging it on it's own merits.

Now, if the reviewer had done a shred of research and known the future plans of this game from CCP and mentioned that in his video, his score might be fair for what is in the game already.

But no, he doesn't. He judges it in a comparison to Battlefield and COD and the like, and even goes as far as saying that dropsuits don't matter, when anyone with any intelligence can tell you that heavy versus scout are both completely different ballgames.

He's obviously a fool, and should not have reviewed the game.

Reviews have NOTHING to do with future plans of a game. All those other chicken poop reviews you been watching where they go on praising the "potential" of this game are irrelevant in a review. The whole purpose of a review is to show the audience what the game has to offer RIGHT NOW. NOT what it has possibilities to offer in the future.

I felt the guy was dead on accurate with his review for Uprising514. I don't think he was constantly comparing it to COD he threw in a little joke this isn't about KDR and getting diamond guns. Not once did I hear him say this works much better in COD.

I've honestly not bothered watching any reviews of this game because I worked in the games journalism industry for a while and know that games like this will be torn to pieces by most. The reason is that reviewers don't have the time to spend really getting deep into a game and that is what is required to get the full experience of Dust 514. This is not the sort of short term arcade shooter that can be reviewed after a week of playing and the problem that this produces is that the only people who have played enough to be able to give a full and accurate review are people who have been playing a long time because they already love the game.

Guess we play Dust differently than, since 90% of my time spend in dust is "Shoot&Gun" like any other "short term arcade shooter" out there? So while i care about "potentially" plans with EvE integration, all i care atm is to have fun playing "Shoot&Gun" or using Vehicles.
So while the AUR/RM points of this review are misleading, anyone out there that ever played a FPS can judge and compare its core gameplay to any other FPS out there. Thats because at its core Dust does nothing spectacular new or special, that is relevant to your FPS experience.

So i don't get why Dust should get a special treatment, judging its core FPS mechanics, which are indeed just average?

If Activision, EA, and Valve were paying this guy to blatantly leave a big steaming pile on the game he could have at least talked about the real problems instead of making stuff up.

-Horrible hit detection and server latency.
-Unplayable levels of lag on complex maps and different server hosts.
-Flawed terrain rendering that causes invisible walls.
-Imbalanced weapons.
-Constant nerfings to niche playstyles while priority is given to generic ones.
-Lack of matchmaking and tutorials for new players.
-Seemingly pointless interaction with EVE Online, even in PC and especially FW.

See that? I just listed several things that could have been covered to warrant such a bad score but I used actual facts. You don't need to lie about Dust 514's problems when there are so many that are as subtle as a kick to the groin.

He was doing work with the SP and HMG which actually do work so his aim isn't that shotty. But my point is that you can tell he simply played for ~5 battles in the academy and went on to almost completely bash the game with the bias of a greased palm. MMOHUT spends more time reviewing games than this guy did reviewing the game. Nothing about vehicles, the different suit classes, weapon types, or anything about the squad dynamic. Quite frankly, I'm disappointed because he was aiming for half ass but wound up with 1/16th. The only thing he did get right were the tutorials and the lack of EVE involvement.

He described a scrambler rifle as a cool weapon and talked about how it works and such. There are variants that are obviously not behind a paywall that function exactly the same way. It was a dishonest comment, you imbecile.

The reviewer couldn't be bothered to point out that there's an isk variant of the same gun. This gives the outside impression of SCRs beeing AUR only.

If he knew that there's an ISK variant than that's called deception by omission and is technically equivalent to lying. If he didn't than he failed to do basic research wich undermines any credibility of his statements.

His job is to properly inform consumers on the qualities of a product and provide an educated if also subjective assesment. The subjective part is open for discussion. Stating falsehoods as fact, thereby leading to ill informed consumer decisions is a clear failure, be it deliberate or not.

Watched the review, and that guy must of played 10 minutes and logged off, one of the worst reviews ever and completly full of hate. He does have some points but most of them are completly false. But we gotta be honest also, CCP brought this unto themselves, they should had never released the game on 14/5. It was a rushed launch that while helping the initial boost (check the increasing player count in server) its only going to hinder it in the long run when hacks like this reviewer who expect a cod/bf clone try to play it and its so daunting that that bash it without giving it a chance.

Oh great elitist player who clearly should of learned about "hyperbole" and clearly should of learned about something called editing and making a point.

He never made clear what "Ashborne" means. No one who didn't know beforehand could know this is a specific AUR variant of an isk weapon that is readily available. Without these details, viewers are deceived into believing that there is no isk variant and that theres no way to get its funcionality without paying AUR. We know this is wrong but no one could know otherwise just by watching this video.

What baffles me is the fact that all the people who seem to hate this game, still put in effort to post on the forums. If you really hate it, grow a pair and leave, no one is forcing you to stay here and the ge is free...
