Just curious, exactly what has any of us done in Dust that has actually mattered?

My squad then lacked the support I had been giving them, and as it had been finely balanced at that point they lost the battle

It is being developed with a long view. Most other FPS just want you to play it for year, buy the new version for 60 bucks, have nothing carry over or matter, rinse and repeat.

In other words, Planetside 2 is for fun, Dust 514 is for headache?

Planetside 2 is for balls of Marshmallow DUST 514 is for Balls of steel

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.

FPS?

Dust can't aim... FPS pffff HAHAHAHA

I don't know this depth that Dust is suppose to have. I log on, I play a pub match and maybe a PC match and that's it. I don't notice a connection with EVE or other deeper creation from Dust.

CCP should find a way to get Chromosome or an earlier build's weapon and suit balance and better hit detection with Uprising's visual improvements. Uprising looks much better than Chromosomes, however, Chromosome had much better gun play even though not perfect.

I can't be absolutely sure but based on the very negative feedback about Uprising, Chromosome and earlier builds had much better weapon and suit balance, even with low quality visuals.

Sure what Martian Luther King jr , George Washington , Gandhi , Sun Tzu , Wilson Churchill , Rosa
Parks did didn't matter at all . Also money matters far more in "real life" than the " virtual world" if you think the "real world" doesn't matter than I feel sorry for you.


Anyway Dust does have more depth than other games but it doesn't seem to doing it any favors currently imo.

This is an entirely semantic argument and, in the game's current state, means absolutely nothing.

The game is a lobby shooter with a moderately deep perk systems with an insanely long grind for unlocks. Obfuscating that reality with a bunch of buzzwords designed to draw in those without much FPS experience doesn't change the fact that there isn't actually much of anything new happening here.

Frankly, if the PS4 version isn't, for all intents and purposes, Dust 514 2, then we might as well all delete the game now and call it a day.

Why does it matter if your stuff "carries over" if "your stuff" is just a bunch of unlocks that were artificially spread out with a ridiculous artificial grind? Who cares and why? It doesn't mean a damn thing.

All your post is really addressing is the distribution method, because in all other regards there is almost no difference between how Dust 514 works and how Battlefield, CoD, etc, works. They are all shallow lobby shooters with weapon and perk unlocks. Dust 514 just drags the process out and adds some arbitrary stepping stone perks in between the ones you start with, and the ones that you actually want.

doesnt matter how much depth the game has or how brilliant the concept is, if they cant perfect the fps mechanics the game will fail, and this game has the worst mechanics of any game known to man

Okay, first, not trolling. I just want to hear from you guys about how you think DUST will fare against its competitors (most obvious being ps2). I know a lot of people have strong feelings, but try to be objective. Look at what makes DUST better and what makes other games better.

Hopefully we can come up with ideas and suggestions that would help DUST be (at least) on par with other FPS games.

i whole heartedly agree. the only problem with chromosome was sharp shooter, and the lazer.

I just got The Last of Us, so ill take a good long break from DUST.

Who knows, if I do return DUST might be a game worth playin instead of something to pass time.

Fun is a subjective term. 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.

MLK was from Mars?

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)
