"Prices are reasonable, but whether you're using real (AUR) or in-game (ISK) currency, you lose a copy of every piece of gear in a loadout each time you die, so you'll be making regular post-match trips to the marketplace to restock whatever you just lost. Such high stakes can add tension and excitement to a battle, but at the expense of making new players feel nickeled and dimed every time an experimental loadout goes wrong. ItGÇÖs less pay-to-win and more "pay to see all the cool stuff,GÇ¥ but this is still one of those cases where free-to-play artificially stymies player advancement in the name of the almighty dollar."
Ouch...they really made a F2P console shooter with gear loss, friendly fire and a cash shop?
It looked terrible in that video. That choppy running/aiming and crappy hit detection would drive me nuts. Put Dust in the Incarna bin and focus on EVE. |

Potential to be a good game isn't a good game and rarely leads to one. Every company that releases a crap game talks about it's "potential" these days. At least the buck stopped at WarZ and we hopefully won't see anymore "foundation" games with "potential" like that.
The comparison to EVE's beginnings are nonsense. EVE was a solid unique subscription game with very little competition and still is. DUST is a clone in a sea of FPS clones and is free to play. We'll be carrying this sack of crap for a long time and I hope it doesn't sink the ship. At least the Vampire WoW game they're making doesn't have any connections to EVE unless maybe they're gonna write in the lore that the Jove were really vampires... |

You have any examples of this or are we just pipe dreaming here? Just log into EVE, enter the CQ and look at the door. That door is going to be DUST's legacy here.
Post Incarna:
Sorry we messed up guys. We're only going to focus on spaceships from now on....except for that F2P shooter we're making...but we promise it will be just as good as the captain's quarters and have "potential". |

Well obviously I at least live in the reality where I know that everything cannot be created in half an hour. I am fully aware that the door is going to stay closed for quite some time still due to resources having been redirected elsewhere and that CCP made a couple of mistakes which led to this. But hey, that is reality and bitching about it is a task for fools and worse. As for new content, we've heard a lot of different things already. Again, I don't expect it to be around for at least a couple of years but what we all know is that CCP wants to essentially merge these two games into one where dusties run around in stations and ships (titans) and cause havoc. I don't play dust in the slightest as I'm not even a console user but nevertheless I think that Dust is the best thing since sliced bread in terms of innovation. Specially when you consider how god damn stale the whole gaming industry has been for the last 5 or so years.
You're not living in reality you're in a pipe dream. Reality is that DUST should have been Incarna and the cash grab flopped TWO times now. The playstation only thing is another flop. Good luck getting console gamers to hold onto an aging game that's "new and improved" every 6 months rather than playing something that's just "new and good already".
DUSTIES in titans?...I want what you're smokin'.

Yeah, it'll do that in a F2P game. Was your original name as stupid as your banal nonsense?
I guess I should say cash SHOP flopped? The fact that it's free is supposed to be a good thing when it's connected to a subscription based game carrying the weight? One that has a cash shop known to be an unnecessary rip off?
I know if I was in business I would make products that are 100% free...the bottom line must look amazing on the balance sheets.

Hold on I'll start collecting revenue info from all the F2P clones out there...
Considering some of them have a box price I think you're very wrong on that one. What are we comparing this to Combat Arms? |

Metacritic on Eve Online, 69.
Metacritic for Dust 514 56.
I guess we all like ****** games, if you go by the reviews. Considering that Eve Online is not for your average gamer, it isn't surprising the bulk of reviews are negative. If CCP makes Dust like they did Eve, then a similarity of reviews should not be surprising.
v0v My thoughts exactly This is why I dont rely on "critics" to tell me what I should like. F-tards want me to buy some pretty terrible games. But Im EvE-O all the way. Well, unless Elite: Dangerous actually surfaces and is any good.
So you would jump ship from EVE and DUST if another game releases and is a good game from the start. Why not buy Elite and hang around for it to get better?
Thanks for proving my point, moron.

IGN is worthless. Right, and so are: GameRankings Metacritic GamesRadar GameTrailers Destructoid Eurogamer Metro GameCentral Hardcore Gamer if they give dust a bad review, it's them who are bad, not dust. duuh. also pre-release: " IGN said that the game was highly ambitious and called it the future of gaming."
Can pretty much end the thread here. Time will tell let's just hope they didn't expect to make any money from DUST for YEARS...when I'm told it's supposed to get like super awesome with dusties piloting fighters and having battles on titans wearing designer Japanese jeans and monocles.
