So we have real life reality - Meh graphics, horrible playerbase and the gameplay is bad

Then we have video game reality - Mostly good graphics, playerbase varies from game to game as does gameplay


Problem is and it happens with each game is that ppl decide to merge the 2

So take the vehicle argument

LAV driver - I hit you, you should die

Infantry - Im in a powered dropsuit i should at least dent you or stop you or even take no damage and dish damage to you

Reality guy - Well i survived a 40mph car hitting me herp a derp


Problem is in a game like DUST the real life reality guy cant quite make it because in DUST its a future tech space game where as he would be better off in BF3 for example as it tries and fails badly to be based on tech in the here and now and tries to accuratly portray it which it also fails at


Another example

RPG can take out a modern tank

In BF3 this is true, 3 will kill it

In real life it tends to be mostly bollocks, it may disable it but not kill it out right into a wreck unless they have all day to shoot at it

In DUST our tanks are so far into the future that we use shields to protect the armor and we use minerals that we have never heard of before to make them


For me the real life argument never flies in DUST for long because its a video game which is set into the future where we have managed to clone ourselves and conquer the majority of space while being able to harvest moons and mine astroids

So while yes your dropsuit is powered and stronger that LAV has also gone through the same process of being upgraded so its made out of stronger lighter materials

We should seperate the 2 and forget about RL argument and instead focus on the balance
