Yeah Dust is kinda strange in this regard, i found myself stop playing Dust the moment my weekly SP pool is exhausted and u only get like 500-1000 SP per match. This means because i still play Dust the progression aspect works, but FPS game mechanical wise i rather play TF2 or BF3. I guess since its technically F2P u can sit back and pick it up from time to time, so just mix. it with other games and don't try to play it full time. |

What I also dont like is that this is almost like a "Pay to win" system CCP has set up. Its like you cant use that turret yet? Its okay, pay us real money and you can use it right now! hurry theyre goin fast!
Tired of earning low SP? Pay us real money and We'll give you a boost!
I think CCP has taken it a bit far.
Unfortunately thats the business model associated with F2P games that have a low incentive for cosmetic only stuff or the technically inability to create such cosmetic stuff. Good F2P examples are LoL, while bad are Vindictus, while i think Dust is in the middle like WoT or D&D online or Planetside2.
Yes u understand the idea pretty well, the idea is to create a high incentive for the player to buy ingame stuff with RM, not to-be "fair" or "humble". In the end the families of the Dust developers have to eat every day :p |

So u really believe Sony asked CCP to make a "just" average FPS game on PS3?
Its always the fault of the person/team that signs the contract in the first place. If CCP did promise to get a "great" FPS MMO game out on PS3 by 2013, than all Sony did was to accept this offer via a contract. CCP did earn enough money via EvE to be fully independent, means they had no pressure whatsoever to get into a deal with Sony in the first place, so its CCP fault to overreached there capabilities in terms of FPS game on a PS3.
Also as it stands most "problems" i see today are technically related to the capabilities of CCP Dust dev team and the unreal engine 3 running on PS3, none of which has anything to-do with Sony. |

And yet every thing goes through the PSN, login, market transaction, contacts, match making, and inventory(which means its part of mid match). So yes the network that does a **** poor job of content distribution and match making(no sony does not host any games) is now a central part dust 512. Not to mention you can bet that CCP is going thru a hell of a time every time money is involved, look at UVTs. Sony has a long standing record of running games, and CCP still had to sign a contract, so yes while they could have done what they wanted on PC they are tied by exclusivity contract to sony. Frankly this is probably why CCP released a product that they knew was unfinished, so that the timer on their exclusivity contract would start so they could really put the fire to sonys feet.
That Sony does not provide any form of matchmaking them-self was always known, it was always the developer on PS3 who had to implement matchmaking algorithms and systems. So thats not an excuse, since its a know fact, also other FPS on PS3 have working matchmaking systems in place, while i hear no complains about the PSN network performance itself for those "other games".
So like i noted, CCP was not "forced" to sign anything with anyone, they where either convinced by Sony or the other way around and both sides agreed on this deal.
In the end BF3 as a prime example runs fine on the PS3, so does Borderlands2 and all the other FPS, while having a very similar overall experience to Xbox. So again, no the main problems we see in DUST right now are in CCP hands, not Sony's. |
