the problem with dust 514 is either it's completely separate from the rest of the EvE MMO galaxy and storyline suffers or it's integrated and gameplay might suffer. it's destined for the console crowd though, most of whom are knuckledragging motherfuckers, so I'm sure the scales will tilt in favour of letting the storyline languish.

Well the thing about Dust is that all the hardcore Corps in EVE already have a side division lined up for when the game releases. The other problem is that you are going to have the console FPS CoD Kiddies trying to play too and not give a fuck about anything until the next big FPS turns its head and they all leave.
I think if it came out for PC, it would do a LOT better.

I agree with this assesment. Tho I don't think that Tue cod kiddies will get into a micro transaction based fps if it was on the PC it would do better. And have the staying power of us eve days behind

That's because it is solid. The updates never fail to impress and this walking-in-stations feature just goes to show how progressive the engine can be. Be warned EvE robs a lot of time if you want to really delve into it. Despite the general combat mechanics working like other MMOs, the massive player-driven market creates lots of industries and professions to get involved in.
You can be an industrialist, trained in building anything from space stations to rockets from blueprints and researching the blueprints to develop higher tech variations. You can also be a trader, who either sits in a trade hub playing a game of market attrition or for the more adventurous loads up a cloaking cargo ship with expensive loot and goes for broke trying to navigate safely through lawless space to supply pirates and alliances for a huge markup. There is also exploration, which means scanning for sites where you can do archaeology or hack dormant space shit which yields treasures, or just scan down wormholes to jump in and wind up in another galaxy that's even more treacherous and profitable than the one with all the stargates. Or if none of that shit is for you, train to kill and join a pirate mob fleecing traders and living off the salvage and tears of innocent players who just want to get from one system to the next without being blown up. And I could go on.
The scale of everything is immense, because there are very small things (like 0.01 ISK) and very big things (like a 4km long dreadnought that costs 2 billion ISK and can destroy everything in range) and just about everything in between. The best way to get through it is to find your niche, train up hard in only that until you get some ISK flowing then expand into other things and use the ISK to upgrade your ships and weapons. Can you jump right into combat? Yes, but without the skills and ISK to back you up and buy back blown up (or ransomed) ships and equipment, you're just a broke noob.
Unless you're satisfied starting as a trader or a miner who can make ISK more or less sitting AFK in a station, you'll find it'll take more time than your real life does to become successful. Oh, but it takes ISK to be a trader and the best way to make ISK out of thin air is mining, and becoming a proficient miner takes about a month worth of skill training.

'classic steve' thank you.
And watch that trailer, reaks of valve AIDs. You can count on DOTA 2 to be as graphically advanced as TF2, LOL.
but i bet itll have a sick hat bro
There's this thing called "fun". I'd rather that than graphically advanced.

I play for fun, but what fun is there in losing? Its the nature of competition, and why games have score boards.

metro 2031 was a very, very mehh game. graphics were good, but the super linear gameplay, lack of weapons and lack of variety of enemies, killed it. type of game consolefags would enjoy.
STALKER = good shit, cant wait for the next one !
edit: stalker2 will be multi-platform. stand by for fail.
