Slightly more insightful, however whenever a reviewer mentions grinding in relation to DUST that is a sure sign that they don't really understand how the game works... and that at least to a degree they are still stuck in a typcial FPS mindset.


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.

I hear EVE Online got glowing reviews when it was launched, and thanks to those reviews the game is still here ten years later.

The article seems full of itself honestly.

It happily summons the doom of Dust514, but it never really addresses why, other than saying, "I didn't enjoy shooting a gun".

That's a pretty **** poor review.

See, before I wasnt sure.

But your post has convinced me that I was indeed correct with my first guess.

Its Tetris.

Not an answer to your question, but I can think of at least a dozen games that got glowing reviews and then crapped out really fast. So the opposite must be true. It's just easier to find the epic fails than the glorious wins. We, as humans, seem to be like that.

In any case, I don't play games based on what I read online. I play them based on how much I enjoy the demo.

Defiance is currently listed at 60 on metacritic, though Massively just named it it's "unofficial" MMO of the year so far...

Everyone have wormholes? Or just worms in their holes? I am pretty sure that I don't at the moment so does it mean that my opinions don't count until I do? :(

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.

True. Half the games with glowing reviews I wouldn't touch.
