/ Slow progression leads to some sense of grind."

Ive been saying this for a while now, but this is here to stay for good

I don't know why people are afraid of the grind. I see it all the time in other FPS games. CoD, Halo, etc. I see it all the time. Dust has the same grind anyways.

Very fair review. What most of the reviews don't notice (because the game fails to explain) is that planetary conquest is not the promised feature where Dust mercs are hired by EVE players to attack/defend their stuff, and currently there is no real meaningful connection to EVE and Dust.

Gamespot usually pretty spot on. I agree with there review

This game is only a grind if you make it a grind.

I mean, do you guys consider Christmas a grind because it is so far away? OMG, it will 365 days for it to get here... we need that to be sooner.

If you don't play for the SP, but use it when it accumulates, the grind nature of the game goes away. It's just a mindset... but I think if you treat it like a job it won't be fun.

With FPS, people just wanna shoot people for a few minutes after a long day sat on the couch - not sat at a desk ploughing through Excel spreadsheets, which is typically the requirements of EVE.

Content and few maps, modes, vehicles, suits lead to average reviews. It will be a different game to review in a year.

My guess, and it's only really a guess, is that CCP is trying to make something new, something different. This game seems unlikely to be only an FPS and maybe it takes a slightly different mindset to enjoy it?

Then kindly define the target audience, or, 'mindset' required to qualify one for an enjoyable session of playing DUST 514.

If you don't want the mass-market appeal, don't market to it by having a game where 99% of the time is spent finding targets to put in your crosshairs.

The more you try an alleviate something, the less people are prepared to crank their heads.

This is what is known as alienating your target audience, and it's analogous to forgetting your wife's name, let alone your anniversary, or her birthday. Just put the shotgun to your own head, the pain will be quick, but it'll be over a lot faster.

Gamers forgive, but they never forget, especially those who got tattoos, or named their first born Eve, or got permission to have spaceship on their wedding cake....oh the list goes on...

I want to get SP at least 150% faster
