Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 273	Posted - 2013.07.17 15:24:00 - [1] - Quote I think it will be awhile before anything will raise the player count. I'm wondering if anyone knows the gaming industry standards. PVE, substantial EVE interaction, and matchmaking are 3 things that would really help retain players, but all 3 things are absent, and could take years to implement. I want this game to succeed, and I know it can (on the PS4) I am just curious how long it can stay in this semi-beta state.
Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 274	Posted - 2013.07.17 15:46:00 - [2] - Quote I'm an not a doomsayer, and I think they can pull it off. I just hope the numbers aren't an issue, and was looking for incite. Even if the server had 500 people currently I would still have hopes, because this game isn't bad, it just hasn't filled its niche in the market yet. I will support this game through the rough times, just as EVE had, I just hope they weren't planning to start out with EVE levels of player count and can keep working with these numbers. To me the player count is less an indication of the value of this game, and more an indicator of it financial solvency.

This idea is a falacy in society used to get people to buy the newest thing out of fear of being obsolete. I bought a PS3 for the first time 4 months ago, mostly because of this game. Before then I was happily playing my PS2 and on rare occasions my PS1. Sony makes consoles to last. I don't think the PS4 poses any sort of competition challenge, but I think it's important for CCP to start working with the new hardware ASAP if they want to last 10 years, and be able to meet all the goals this game has.

CCP is not stupid. That is ok, go on believing that there will be some magical influx of new players. The numbers say otherwise. Eve funds 100% of Dust 514 development. Your argument is invalid. If EVE can keep supporting this game without jeopardizing itself, I have no worries.

And you bought a PS3 for dust! You missed the 56 ps3 exclusives! You sir are 1% of the player base thinking like that. Let me tell you something......10 million ps4 pre orders mean something. You sir are a dinosaur, and dust shall be slain like your kind by the ps4! No I have a PC. I missed out on Nathan Drakes wild Zany adventure though. RAARRGH I'm a dinosaur.

Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 275	Posted - 2013.07.17 18:07:00 - [7] - Quote I don't play ports, I mostly play strategy games. I don't know why you have to insult me for using a PC, the point I was making is that none of the exclusives seemed like a worthwhile investment into a PS3 at the time. Now that I do have a PS3 I've rebought a lot of games I had on PC because I enjoy the PS3 versions much more.

What? anyway, it's good that you don't play ports. cause PC always gets the short end of stick with that. Now I know I've said stuff before about other PC stuff being nerd fillers But this game called planetary annihilation** looks pretty cool. you just insulted aw shut up. no I didn't. I should have put in Alt Accounts12's quote.... he's the asshat that hurt my feeling.
