Been playing Dust 514 since the beginning of Closed Beta and i gotta say its just a terrrible game. Never mind being a horrible FPS.
After 30 secs into a match you will know how the game will be going down
1) You will slaughter the other team
or
2) You will get slaughtered by the other team
Nothing inbetween. Rarely (if ever) tight matches where you thought wow, i really battled in this one and won (or lost). The graphics are just. How can i put it without using prophanity - terribad.
Love the orbital precision strikes OPS or Oooooops (how i like to call them). Really, its awesome whever you get into matches that turn into a real orbital precision strike fest. Spawn.....ooooops everyone is dead......spawn again oooooops everyone dead again.......run around try to get tactical positioning...........ooooops you are dead again. You are underground in a facility.....oooops you are dead.
Also lovely is when you get thrown into a match that is half way over and your side is losing BAD and being completely dominated. Love that. thumbs up for that ccp.
Don't get me started on the controls. The drop ships have the flight properties of a falling coconut.
Or on the gear. Tier 1 gear isnt better than militia gear, but a full tier 1 fit will cost you easy 10.000k isk per outfit. 150k reward per match minus lost gear from death minus skillbooks you wanna buy minus any vehicle you might wanna deploy as well and you....well get the idea.
Or the lazor rifles, aslo known as 200m long lazor swords. Or the carpets woven from the tight net of uplinks.
The maps are just terribly boring and monotonous. Badly designed too. And way too small.
After losing an Ambush 0 - 77 you will prefer to do 3 things before ever playing DUST 514 ever again:
1) Get kicked in the crown jewles....repeatedly.
2) Skinny dip in Acid with a swarm of hungry barracudas.
3) Bungee jump using your own intestines as rope.
The whole game is so out of balance, riddled with bugs, bad graphics and one sided (either you get slaughtered or you do the slaughtering, neither is especially fun) and repetetive, in my view DUST 514 needs a complete redesign more than an overhaul.
Some stuff makes so little sense it will make you start nosebleeding from any attempt to comprehend what the f***** just happaned.
There is no content either. No levels you can complete in legendary mode or a storyline mode. Its simply "get to battle, mow down your oponents or get mown down. Rinse and repeat."
When you think FPS, there is probably a dozen games i would recommend before even considering DUST 514. Even with DUST being free. Better spend a few bucks on a preowned copy of a proper shooter.
I could keepup my dislikes, but it just brings back too many emotions and bad memories. And my therapist says it might erase all the good progress i have made since i stopped playing DUST. SO, please feel free and try DUST. Make sure you got a good anger therapist though because it is an utterly disappointing and frustrating game. On every aspect of gameplay. |
