Because reviewers, sadly, are paid to either persuade ignorant gamers or they give the people what they want to hear.

The problem with reviewers, as a whole, is that they don't review games objectively. They are either comparing it to another game in its same genre or they judge upon their own personal expectations. Take for instance the situation with The Last Of Us. Dude expressed how he didn't enjoy it. You know what happened? The internet went into uproar. The icing on the cake was Shuhei even taking to twitter to air out his disapproval of the man's review. All because he wasn't praising and bowing to it?

I said all that to say this, in the gaming community I find it ironic that it was once recognized as an outcast haven and now gamers outcast their own when they don't follow the trend or go along with majority. Dust is not a trending game currently. I don't think it ever will be.

Dust, honestly for some odd reason, is hated on by plenty of folks because they compare it to Battlefield and COD. If it doesn't add up or play like a pick up and play game, they have something negative to say.

Instead of judging the grandscope, he got his butt handed to him and he didn't like it. You can't pull that BF and COD stunt in this game. You can't sit down and say its P2W only.

But like EVE, I believe Dust is not going to be accepted by the majority, yet it will have a strong enough community that it will do well. EVE is not on everyone's to play list. Even the video game journalist hardly ever talk about it unless it's about some heist or someone losing their expensive ship in battle.

Yet that community thrives.

The review is ignorant. And like most reviews, I don't pay attention to them.
