well the game has been released and it's not had great reviews so far, and it's not even the hardcore gaming aspects that are getting most panned it's the basic shooting mechanics and general fun of it which is much more serious.

if you gather ISK/SP with every battle then how is that not grind?
it is an FPS game so there's nothing wrong with explaining it in a context FPS gamers understand, ie. weapon unlocks etc. particularly as this is aimed at them, not eve players, which surely is the reason for targeting a console platform.

You haven't played DUST have you... If you want to discuss how skill points are accumulated, including bonuses for participating in matches, you should really learn how it works first.
yeah i read you accumulate some SP by playing and the rest is like eve. like i'm going to buy a PS3 so i can play this nonsense.

this is a console FPS game though, I'm not sure it's as much of a keeper. great idea and all but if it's mainly going to get support from eve fanbois then they should have put it on the PC in the first place.
time will tell i guess.

Ranger 1 wrote:I realize you have a personal agenda, that being you are irritated that it's not available for PC (which is somewhat ironic), but again you do not need to grind in DUST to develop a character. If you choose to you skill up more quickly, but by the same token if you play something completely unrelated for awhile you still gain skill points until you come back.
DUST only becomes a grind fest if you choose to play it that way, which is something those reviewers refuse to admit (if they even bothered to play it long enough to be aware of these facts to begin with).
obviously if you're reviewing a game you have a short time frame and you want to get the most out of it. and most players of MMOs and FPS games are used to playing intensely to level up their skills and weapons. the fact that CCP have compromised the eve style training plan to be grindable shows they know their market at least.
i really don't care if they port it if it's mediocre. i have several consoles and a good excuse to add another, particularly as i used to be a big playstation head, would be welcomed i assure you.
