PS2 doesn't have the depth Dust currently has. In PS2 if you take the entire game world as your faction, you could go eat for 2 hours and the whole damn planet will be flipped to a different faction. It is a giant waste of time as nothing you do matters for longer than 30 minutes. You can't claim anything for yourself.
Dust on the other hand, you can claim a planet and hold it for weeks and GET money from it.
I could go on for hours about that, but that is the gist of it. Dust has more depth than Planetside 2. |

Fun is a subjective term. To me fun is having my actions matter. PS2 is a headache for me. |

I could go on for hours about that, but that is the jest of it. Dust has more depth than Planetside 2. And when you say "you" you really mean a Corp but right now the only person that gets the ISK is the CEO who can then distribute as he/she pleases. Directors do have access to the ISK but 90% of the time the CEO has said you will be kicked from the Corp if the ISK is touched. Or there is a dummy Corp that holds all the ISK like a bank.
Nope, YOU can make a corp and claim it since YOU made the corp. Or had a part in the claiming of it. I'm sorry you lost districts and we are making money from them now. A good corp pays tank drivers and those that require it. The corp members get the money indirectly as long as the corp continues to wage a war somewhere. |

You do realize, nothing in the "real world" matters either. The money we make doesn't stop us from dying in 100-150 years. |

Dust has loads more potential than any other FPS out there and coming out.
Other FPS might have smoother controls.
From my experience, it is much easier to fix controls than it is to rework the base systems to allow for the potential that DUST 514 has.
Other games have matches with over 100 in the fight. Dust currently keeps it small for various reasons. PC battles are kept small on purpose for now because even getting 16 people together from a FPS crowd on a regular everyday basis is hard. If that number went to even 32+ for each side, smaller corps would be completely strapped to fill those slots most days.
Other games start big and implode. Like PS2's server merges. Battlefield 1 implodes, they make BF2, it implodes, the make BF3. All the while rehashing the same mechanics and forcing you to level up through the unlocks again and again.
DUST starts small and plans to explode. Free expansions for ever. Never have to relearn skills, even if they overhaul the graphics system in 5 years. This list could get pages long, so I will stop here. |

The money we make doesn't stop us from dying in 100-150 years. Incorrect sir. The money you make in the real world allows you to feed your family, pay your bills and put a roof over your head. Without it, you would not be able to play dust. As far as the dying part, you need to lighten up. You are way too much of a Debbie Downer. Relax, enjoy life, shoot some red berries in the head on dust and enjoy every second of it whether its on Dust or some other game.
You started the downer saying that nothing matters in a game. Games provide escape from the real world which has saved lives in the real world. I could dig up the news posts, but not going to. Games do as much for people as having real money does. |

To me fun is having my actions matter. PS2 is a headache for me. Wow, you must looove tax season, lol. Living must be a blast for you. Perfect graphics and amazing gameplay. Well can't speak for Shadowswipe but for me: Tax Season means the wife is working so I get more time to game, and Living is pretty neat with amazing graphics. Its pretty hardcore though, with no Save/Resume, although I like how the branching storyline sometimes lets you go back and have a second crack at earlier objectives. I just wish the developers would work more on the "Continue..." feature. Edit: Also the MMO is pretty cool, and much like EVE, only one Shard (although I here rumors they've got others with different world rules but like to keep the communities completely isolated)
Living is a blast for me. I love my wife. Have a kid on the way.
As for tax season, I am a bit cynical and think taxes do nothing, so thus is not fun as my actions don't matter. I wish I could feel the usefulness of taxes, but the United States is trillions of dollars in debt. Once I see that go away, I just might find taxes fun...
As for the graphics, I recently got a nice graphics engine upgrade. The world looks much sharper now. Glasses for the win! I had no idea I was not seeing in HD either. Getting old sometimes sucks. |
