Yeah, Dust 514. ? is free on PS3 and been out for almost 2 years it seems like (if you count the beta). ? sucks but you can try it out for yourself; You might like it.
Yep, I DLed it and played it for a while. The concept was good but the gameplay was garbage.The Lonious Monk wrote: »People are spending 3Gs on video game space ships? FOH
They don't actually spend money on that stuff, that's just how much it would be worth if someone were to sell/buy the equivalent currency amount, and they would probably get banned if they got caught selling their game currency.
Oh ok, that makes more sense, but I wonder how they even determine what it's real world worth would be.
SMH, the online reviews are saying it's bad as well. ? it, I don't even own a PS3.

If someone takes it to seriously, then yeah, it can seem like a job, but other than that, it plays just like your basic rpg, except with more grind, and interactions with other players.
Every game is vastly different, but in Gw2 you generally just go around beating up ? like this, and doing dungeons and stuff, and collect gold and loot, and buy/make stuff, it's pretty casual compared to EVE.

Cosign all that was said. Mmos and most purely computer based games are good time sinks. MMOs generally or used to be about interacting with other players and forging your own destiny, you could do dungeons with players, raids with like 24 people(in most mmos nowaday, ? used to be 40 players don't know much bout that anymore tho), rp though I doubt anyone on this forum is interested in that, and just generally and most of the time do what the ? you wanna do.
Also damn I need to get a new pc, guild wars 2 is another I wanna try out.. -
