A 3 out of 5? I don't quite agree.
I've been playing Dust since January, and it has been a fun experience. I can get behind the sterile environments, my biggest gripe with it is the battlefields get repetitive fast, but what FPS doesn't? I have no clue what your are talking about when it comes to glitchy grenade throwing, I use them with no issue (as long as I don't accidentally bump the trigger on something), which leads me to believe that the reviewer just sucks with grenades. I've got friends who almost exclusively use grenades and explosives.
The learning curve I can understand, but also refute. Militia gear offers an easy way to test out many different combinations of gear before committing to anything. Even then, it is fairly easy to change to something else, outside of drop suits. It breaks down to what you want to do on the battlefield, like any game.

Please read this you guys...I made it so that hopefully more people would understand what this game is really about, and how amazing and exciting it can become.
As for the Aurum items, most players don't use them, and the isk gained from battle outweighs the cost of your fittings lost most of the time.
You also didn't mention how skills are earned over time, and that you can come back a week or two later and have enough points to use better weapons without actually playing the game constantly.
Lastly, the game is very much team oriented. A group of organized players in basic gear can easily win against a group of unorganized players with the best gear. Still, death is a MAJOR part of this game. I use fairly decent equipment and die at least 4-5 times per match because of random grenades, snipers or LAV's.
It takes about 2 weeks to be able to use the best type of a certain weapon, about 6 weeks to use a really good dropsuit, and another month or so to get enough sp for good passive skills. That's 3 months to be able to use some of the best stuff in the game, only playing for about 1-2 hours per day.
Compared to other RPG's, this game does not take long to become really good and start competing with the best players. Compared to other FPS games, this game takes about the same time to use the best equipment. Players with more skill points are only slightly better and/or are able to use different types of loadouts.

I don't know anything about card games but that Cory sounds so knowledgable and quick about this that It sounds like a cool idea. Maybe I'll try card games, starting with this...I shall see. Also really glad this guy is a good speaker and can pull out any kind of info on the fly. So many game dev people can't even seem like they know their own game

The main character's stare reminds me of Kristen Stewart.

All I want is what The Force Unleashed should have been. Something like God of War/Dante's Inferno, but with lightsabers and The Force. Not as gory, but dark and violent.

It'll probably be something along the lines of a third person shooter of sorts, just by the devs history of army of two and dead space, not my favorite games but this might work out...
