    ok i'm changing my review of this game from 10 to 6. why? well here's something i realised. it lacks content! i've been playing this game since closed beta and it's only turned out to be dissapointing. you know when the game got the uprising update and was officially released i was expecting all or at least MOST the content to be in the game. they promised many new weapons, dropsuits,ok i'm changing my review of this game from 10 to 6. why? well here's something i realised. it lacks content! i've been playing this game since closed beta and it's only turned out to be dissapointing. you know when the game got the uprising update and was officially released i was expecting all or at least MOST the content to be in the game. they promised many new weapons, dropsuits, vehicles like new assault rifles types which, oh god this game desperately needs. i think they only have one or two different assault rifles which is terrible! the devs have promised new content with patch updates, but so far there have been three updates with NOTHING. i've given up on this dissapointing game and i'm sure everyone else will soon.… Expand

    A persistent game with great customization. Easily one of the most ambitious titles ever on console. needs compartmentalized team communication, bigger battles, more game modes and slightly better framerate in close firefights but the foundation is solid. If you liked MAG this could be a worthy predecessor if it improves.

    When I played this game's open beta, I was noticed a LOT of issues in the game. Now that the game is out, I notice some improvements to the game, but problems still exist. First of all, the update time is completely unacceptable. I don't know if its my internet or not, but it shouldn't take a game 5 hours to update! The guns in the game are under-powered and takes forever to kill anotherWhen I played this game's open beta, I was noticed a LOT of issues in the game.

I don't know if its my internet or not, but it shouldn't take a game 5 hours to update! The guns in the game are under-powered and takes forever to kill another player even when their shields are down. I think this game would've been better as a PC exclusive instead of the PS3. Might not be the EVE game we were hoping for, but at least its something.… Expand

    Dust 514 has a problem. It tries to do too much at once. Being a good shooter and being free-to-play just doesn't work for this game. It's a shame, as it has so much potential.

    this game has a lot to say about itself it is very ambitios and ah.............well mediocore experience really this game has 2 massive flaws
    1 is its lack of team balancing i found that alot of the times i was placed in a team of comlete newcomers going against dust veterans
    and 2 is the pay walls the best weapons are locked of by a seperate currency that you cant earn or if you can it    this game has a lot to say about itself it is very ambitios and ah.............well mediocore experience really this game has 2 massive flaws

    and 2 is the pay walls the best weapons are locked of by a seperate currency that you cant earn or if you can it would take years to earn enough for a isk booster
    this game has probably one of the most inovated battle mechaniques ever making it feel like a mix between killzone battlefield and planetside 2 and the graphics are amazing
    its key selling point was that the servers were linked up with EVES servers but really all it is is a excuse and backround for warbarge strikes and even then i rarely see those
    over all this game was very ambitious maybe with a team balancing feature more weapons for isk and remove the fact that you need 1million 599thousand isk just to setup a corperation and more game modes will bring this game up to scratch this game is good and the fact that its free to play means that its a good hour waster before a party or something    … Expand

    i had to make my rating a 5, i played the game months after it came out and then stopped it for a year. i played it this past weekend and it still has framrate issues and lag, which i just looked at a review from may 2013 stating the same thing. so 2 years and they still havent fixed the framrate or lag problems. i like this game and will still play it every so often but the only thingi had to make my rating a 5, i played the game months after it came out and then stopped it for a year. i played it this past weekend and it still has framrate issues and lag, which i just looked at a review from may 2013 stating the same thing. so 2 years and they still havent fixed the framrate or lag problems. i like this game and will still play it every so often but the only thing saving this game is that it is free to play.… Expand

    Thankfully, navigating through the poorly designed menus is not the only thing Dust 514 has to offer. You can also shoot each other in a body region of choice on poorly designed multiplayer maps. Even with 31 other player joining the fray, you will have a hard time finding even a single adversary. [June 2013, p.86]

    Dust 514 is ropier than a Japanese adult movie marathon. Movement is clunky, combat feels archaic, and this war takes place on worlds so drab they look like a rip off of Futurama’s Neutral Planet. This is yet another paid DLC bear trap. [September 2013, p80]

    Feels like it is in desperate need of a decade of evolution, to move out of the shadow of its peers. [Issue#137, p.114]
