I've noticed this about EVE and DUST 514 players for the longest time. Every game has its dedicated fans, where their needs are met, but sometimes I wonder if CCP is giving Kool-Aid to some of these people.
CCP has had the track record for failed promises and short comings, probably more than any other company, yet they can still string people along and almost make it seem like a cult.
You can either drop your expectations below whats capable and reasonable and waste time & money on something mediocre
,or...
you can come to expect certain functions be the top priority and not settle for getting told "soon" every few weeks, months, years... |

Yet they deliver so much more of what we want compared to most mainstream game companies. |

Just waiting on Rome 2 and Two Souls to come out.
DUST is fun when I do play it. However in say a year from now it's speed of development and growth will naturally place it amongst the rest of the options out there.
But you're definitely right though some people are like devoted cultists, reading their posts is kinda creepy becuase you know they believe it through and through. Kinda scary.
Good day I'm nearly done with work for the day. |

EVE would have to be your only example of this. It took 10 YEARS for EVE to be what it is. DUST 514 won't last another 2 years. Its already behind the curve and come PS4 and XB1... DUST will go bye-bye. The FPS genre is not where CCP belongs. |

Dunno quite a few other games has had failed promises, I mean its the whole reason why they're not selling anymore the lot of them. Like aliens colonial marines.
CCP even though they do fail at making promises there are times they deliver on them. |

Well, maybe someone can inform me of which promises they will keep and which ones they over extended... |

CCP dream large, that's why people are such fans of them. If they fail to deliver on some of them it's because they make promises that they want to fulfil but just don't have the time or the tech to do so. It's what they do deliver that keeps people with them. |

Catch-22 of this is, CCP is losing people monthly. But the less people on the game, the more i like it... but eventually DUST will die soon, than later, and I'll have to move on. |

Exactly.
CCP Shanghai obviously suffered a major stumble, but they're showing that they're working as hard as they can to make up for it.
Then again, it's FAR more fun to cheer as the plane crashes and dance on the wreckage. |

True, there's something beautiful about watching something be destroyed, it's like thinking about all the things that have to happen for it to come about, and the energy involved. But it's nice to see being created as well. |

CCP has earned a lot of respect for becoming successful doing something completely different for many years. They are considered a pretty big deal in Iceland even, seeing as how they are a small company that serves more customers around the world than there are people in Iceland. They deserve most of the respect given them, but I think even they know they deserve criticism along the way too. They try their best though, and that's more than you can say for 95% of companies out there. I ***** and moan about them, too, but I hope they are successful in whatever they do. |

that's a terrible example though. That game failed on many fronts.
companies can fail on promises and still do good. Hell, CoD is the same recycled garbage for how many years now? People buy it in droves expecting something new and exciting! "Innovative gaming!"... 1-2 different kill streaks, a couple new perks, new gun cammos... people buy it cuz it's something new! lol
Problem with DUST is the game feels unfinished on every front. CCP sold people pipe dreams, and have yet to deliver on anything but more promises. "next update guys! big things are coming!"
Uprising was suppose to be the big thing in DUST... we all know how that went.
Just saying, not about promises being broken, it's about delivering a game that at least feels finished... or at least feel like my character isn't drunk while aiming. |

"Behind the curve" In graphics maybe but its the only FPS that I enjoy playing, I doubt BF or any other multiplayer game announced will be able to take me away.
With Dust's long term plan it only needs to stay alive into the future and it will become the future. |
