Woah, huge patch. Is this worth playing now? I tried it a LONG time ago and didn't like it at all but I'd be willing to try it again if its good.

Persecution Complex
* Completely retuned controller sensitivity settings in the options menu to give a broader range

Great news, the floaty controls were my main problem with the beta (I got my PS3 Uncharted 3 bundle like 2 months ago and it came with DUST). Is the download up right now, and how long does it take? I've been jonesing for a decent online FPS on my new PS3, so I hope this beta fixes a lot of issues I originally had.

It's worth playing as of last patch, but this and the next should give you an idea if you want to play it going forward.

It's 1.2GB so adjust that for your connection speed, and yes it's up now!

Interesting. I played this a few times and just couldn't get into it because the game would barely let me play and join a game and the controls felt off to me.

Hopefully this patch will improve things a lot. I'll give it a shot when I get my new PS3 (mine YLOD'd).

In the words of Mitanni.

It might be unfair to chalk success or failure up of a game or project up to personalities, but just as the Soundwave/Unifex team did so much to pull EVE out of a tailspin post-Incarna, I remain extremely impressed by Brandon Laurino, the executive producer of Dust, and Atli Mar Sveinsson, the Creative Director. My opinion of DUST before the Uprising build could be politely described as scathing; Brandon was brought in from outside CCP to patch up and fix Dust as best he could, and he only was with the company for three months before the first builds went out to the public - thus not really being able to make his mark. Working with Atli, I think that Uprising is the first 'real' version of DUST, and it is essentially a completely different game, compared to the barely-functional tech demo that we've been poking at hesitantly for the past year. So where Unifex and Soundwave were rightly heralded for 'saving Eve,' I suspect the Uprising release will see Atli and Brandon similarly lauded for ‘fixing Dust.'

In fact a bunch of people have been saying the samething else where but he is among the most notable Eve Online personalities.

My impressions: graphics are significantly improved. Previously they were bad enough to deter me from getting into the game so this is a welcome improvement. I'm still unsure on how a lot of things work though this is probably due to me skipping most of the tutorials. For example I am unsure of how to inject myself with the medical applicator. I know how to equip it but nothing I press makes my character actually use it. The controls feel much improved though still are not perfect. I adjusted the dead zone width and height to zero. Increased turning, y+x axis aiming to max. There seems to be a very minimal amount of auto-aim so it's necessary to strafe in order to get good accuracy. This does not detract from the game at all and in fact I actually prefer it over other games. I am loving the high time-to-kill. It is not instant like Call of Duty games. Takes a good while making every kill that much more satisfying. The user menu's and interface options are all very improved and intuitive. I love the new character creation system. All in all, I am looking forward to getting into this game. The uprising patch made significant improvements in almost every aspect.

Just played a few matches and damn this game is rough. The feel of the guns and controls are so bad. Going to do a few more to see if there's any neat guns at least.

Tasty balls, this patch is huge. Looks like we're going to play completely different game this evening. Can't wait to get home and try it out. Love that they decided to put aim assist back, hope it'll help me not to suck at shooting.

I suppose I'll update and give it a try. Played it a few times during the beta but the gunplay was so bad and the maps so boring I thought it was beyond salvation.

They seem to have put a lot of effort in, which is commendable.

It's been a decent enough shooter to have some simple fun with. The real draw is the tie in to EVE. Glad to see that aspect being upgraded.

The improvements are many, and overall, it's a super-impressive update. The framerate still isn't up to par, though. I think they can squeeze some more frames out of UE3…I hope.

Now that they've done a blanket respec, I'm looking forward to rebuilding my character.

Is this the official release? I tried updating my closed Beta client but it couldn't contact the server so I deleted it and I'm downloading the latest client from PSStore.
edit: Some hours later, it was the right thing to do. Almost finished updating...

Wait, I launched the game on XMB, it downloaded a 1GB+ update (3.40?), launched the game "synchronized" for 5 mins, and now it's "updating game client" from WITHIN the game, with a 1.22GB patch... what?

CCP's patches have always been horrible.

I was hoping they'd fix this shit now that the beta phase is over, but no.

Did they fix the mouse controls? (I mean properly, does it control like cs/ut/quake now or still in a 'we can do worse controls than bioshock, watch this shit yolo' (I assume this was their exact thought process) way
When I tried the beta they weren't mouse controls, it was just an emulated analog stick and it is HORRIBLE , talk about false advertising.


Anyone have screenshots? The graphics really were the worst I've seen this gen.

UI, menus etc were horrible as well, the map layouts were terrible and the gameplay was terrible, it really was genuinly the worst game I've tried this gen, by a long way, it made homefront look like a masterpiece... (and homefront makes battlefield heroes look like a masterpiece)
