Alright, guys, time for some real talk here. I mean I read through the read, man, and I saw a lot "witty" comments, I saw some trash talk, I saw a few okay responses, guys, but what I'm missing here is someone that responds directly to the opening post presented, dude. Make no mistake about it, I'm gonna lay it all down for you Mr. Kuronaga, and don't worry I'm not gonna judge you based on the fact that you probably watch way too much cartoons, bro. No big deal.
Now let me start off by saying that Kuronaga is a professional gamer and he's complaining that Dust 514 makes his head hurt. I mean let's be specific here, he said he's made money by playing fighting games and occasionally by FPS games, and he thinks that it makes his opinion about this game more important than the opinions of the rest of us. I'm not gonna sugar coat it whatsoever, guys, let's just go ahead and call spade a spade here guys: That's like professional figure skater complaining that he can't play ice hockey cause his little body hurts! Mr Kuronaga, let me tell you something. If this game makes your head hurt, well I'd suggest that maybe, and just maybe, it's the wrong game for you.
Now let me tell you another thing. You say you're professional gamer, dude, and maybe you're thinking: "If I practice Dust 514 now, I will make a fortune later!" WRONG! Let me tell you something about E-sports, bro, or any sports for that matter. Your income is based on the amount of the people who are willing to watch you do your thing. Dust 514 will never be a great spectator E-sport: It's not gonna happen, cause it's not what it's supposed to be. Now I've given you way too much crap, Kuronaga, so I'm gonna end with a little advice at the end: Go pick up a game that is a great spectator E-sports game, get good at it and watch the money flowing in from the front door, dude! Dust is a wrong game for you bro. Peace out!

Dust 514 will be eaten alive by the upcoming MMO fps competition along with the bad reviews that put it into a very niche status. The first game to launch properly with a sandbox FPS will become the competitive one in this genre, and Dust missed that boat with Uprising failure.
However, Dust has the chance to become the EVE online of FPS - not too popular, but the deepest and most hooking one on market. The metagame is the surviving aspect of Dust.
That's exactly what I think. Dust 514 will probably never be as smooth to play as the cream of the crop of games, but it will probably have much more depth to it, man. There's no point in playing a game you don't enjoy it, and Dust 514 will never be something you're gonna make a lot of money with.
And oh yeah, guys, the game has a crapload of problems at the moment, man, but if you guys aren't enjoying it, just take a break. Don't worry about the skill points because let's be honest here, playing a game because of SP is about the dumbest thing ever. Taking a break is a win-win situation because either you find out that Dust is just taking away from your time, you could spend doing something else, or you end up coming back after the break and you will enjoy the game more. Yeah, you missed some SP, but you've also passively accumulated some which is fun to use. And don't give me that crap that you can't be competitive because you have 3 million SP less than the top dogs. |

Is like playing a Sport without rules or regulations, where "Everything goes". Imagine playing football with 20 balls in the pitch, not restrictions of how many players you can have in each team, anyone can you join the match, even members of the public. You can use any equipment you want, ( A baseball Bat ), and use as much violence as you want. This is Dust 514. Is not a "Competitive" environment.
Yeah there are a lot of issues with the game, no question about it. At the end of the day though, the fact of the matter is that you shouldn't be playing it unless you enjoy it. I mean I'm not telling anyone not to, but why would you play a game that gives you a headache while you play it? Let me be the first one to tell you that I wouldn't be playing the baseball game you just described! |

I mean I'm not telling anyone not to, but why would you play a game that gives you a headache while you play it? The same reason as the OP.... because the "Potential" of the game. Of course..is up to CCP to convert that "Potential" into reality.
Well as I said, bro. Take a break cause playing a game - that you think sucks- right now based on it's future potential is just strange. Take a break and you'll find something more useful and enjoyable to do with your time and come back later to check it out and see if it reached the potential you talked about. Either it did and you'll be happy playing the game, or it didn't and you're happy you used your time on something else. I mean, am I missing something here or do dudes really make things this complicated for themselves? It's not more complicated than that, and you'd probably be more of a happy person too if you'd think about what's going on in your life right now, instead of trying to look for a better future. |

I learned to stick around games that may "Became" Great one day. You could call it "Experience". Of course, if i feel that the game will never reach it's full potential, then i will leave, like most serious gamers.
I know what you're saying, but I still see no reason for playing it now that you don't enjoy it at all. Why don't you just keep it in back of your mind, test it out every once in a while and start playing it for real when you actually enjoy it? |
