DUST is a pretty good beta MMOFPS.
It's just a shame CCP have slapped a release date on it and let it pass without realising they weren't ready. |

I agree with the second review, but not the first.
It's certainly not a chore to play and I enjoy it, but it is quite buggy. Once shooting is refined a bit, nanite injectors are fixed, etc., I think it will be one of the most fun games I'll play. It has tons of potential. |

What is going with some of you, you surely hate this game with a passion and it sounds like some of you are on a crusade trying to kill Dust digging up all the negative information you can find. And calling all who like Dust for fanboys.
I like Dust and the community, not the community on the forum but the friends I have made in the corporation I am a member of. I refuse to be called a fanboy just because I like Dust. It might not be a game that I would pay 100$ retail for (games are expensive in my part of the world) but I love it for being a free to play game. I would not go out and buy CoD or any other FPS game either.
You might not understand why I like Dust but I surely do not understand why you keep coming back to Dust and post on the forums when you hate Dust. Please post constructive posts if you just happen to dislike its current state but stays as you like the idea and how it is evolving and suggest ideas for improvement. |

However reviewers are routinely missing, or glossing over the facts, that this is free to play, that any p2w aspects are minimal (IGN UK's review nailed it), and most importantly; that it's an mmorpg.
I can't stress this MMO point enough. Nearly all the complaints levelled at Dust are things that every mmo faces. The current comparisons to Battlefield's, or COD's gameplay are false equivalencies. Is anyone expecting the upcoming Elder Scrolls MMO to feature better core gameplay than Skyrim? I don't think so. Yet I doubt that it will be penalised for that upon release. Why the double standard for Dust? Because Dust currently has no standard to be measured against in the first place. This isn't just new ground for devs, but for reviewers too. Its a shooter with a skill system, there have been many others before it so dont hold it up as this special unique thing when its not This isn't comparable to Borderlands. Beyond that, I don't think your post warrants a reply.
As the "MMO" is currently implemented, battlefield is just as, if not more MMO than dust in relations to gameplay. The on going universe is seriously missing. In essence it is exactly in battlefields league and is justly compared to it. And boy does it fail to compare in its current state. At it's core dust is a FPS. If it did that and ONLY that well(think CS) these reviews would be on the other side of the scale as the reviewers would be able to look past the much less important things, but sadly this is not the case |

What i think Really has to be realized here is the concept of what Dust is and can be. Dust has the CCP devs; They are the most active devs in a gaming community I have ever seen and commonly talk and speak with their playerbase. Games like COD, Battlefield, or really any other game has no such track record of having players vote for their representatives to speak with the devs personally. That is just the player-developer interaction of it.
The other critical feature is that this is a game that will be updated constantly and vigorously for the next eternity or until CCP goes bankrupt (and i would still be suspicious of it being updated). This game will constantly have bugs fixed, features added, Gameplay perfected, and Community wants/needs satiated.
Dust will grow. It wont boom and bust like every game in history, it's business model is incredibly constant and persevering as growing and breaking out a healthy community and profit so the game can keep up with it's own evolution.
What most don't realize is that this game isn't finished, quite honestly it will never finish, but it will always build onto itself and grow into a more integrated, powerful, and spectacular game. |

they are right this game has a looooooonnngg way to go, but frankly how else was CCP to get the support it needed from sony with the PSN. Now that the game has been released sony has to start giving PSN support or lose the game/look like ass hats when the exclusivity contract runs out.
For CCP it was stay in beta until it alienated its core supporters due to continued glacial progress, or release an unfinished product that would garner bad press in an attempt force sonys hand, or at worst to start the timer on the exclusivity contract to so that they can salvage dust on some other platform. |

It doesn't matter if the reviews are bad. They have subscribers who will read them and take their word as law thus never even trying the game.
We all know dust is a work in progress.
Console gamers ( me included at first) will have a terribly hard time understanding this concept. People who review games usually get special access with bumped up characters making their initial impressions nearly false or developers allow them to play "special" levels while they sit right next to them explaining every detail.
I don't know of CCP doing this so a reviewer starts from scratch plays through the academy then immediately gets proto stomped in a vast, hard to grasp at first game= bad review no matter who wrote it. Sad sad |

@ helper friendly, that is a good point if you look at how long it took for reviews of dust to come out, thats exactly how it went. CCP was trying to hold off the inevitable onslaught of reviews saying this game was not done, and so reviewers started from scratch and what you said was exactly what happened.
Not that it would have mattered CCP could of rolled out the red carpet and they still would have got handed their ass. They know they are screwed either way so they are playing the long game instead of turning them selves into another duke nukum. |
