Dune: Awakening

un jeux tres beau, tres tres beau, mais un jeux de demeurer. une quete qui vous tiens la main... non une quete qui ne vous lache jamais la grappe. l immensité comme horizon écrasé par des mécaniques de jeux foireuse et une impossibilité d'œuvrer librement. du craft... woui on dira ça... la vache le craft est une grosse blague et n'a aucun sens. du farm.... la encore en gros t'as un pauvre truc perdu au milieux du sable qui repop et qu il decouper au laser..... des compétences.... chier une grenade toute les 15 secondes est donc une competance. dans un monde ecraser par le patriarcaca de l empire blablabla ou les ressources manquent ouin ouin toi tu arrive et tu chie lithéralement des grenades. mais attention c'est un super jeux sinon! tant que tu ne touche pas au pvp car c'est quand même une belle communautés de batards et le pve... et le but? aucun tu construit une belle maison que le vers des sable evitera de foutre en l air.... tu farm et basta. l histoire? y 'en a pas non non usul il est mort d'une infection gamin et pis c'est tout.

30 heures de jeu plus tard... je me demande encore où sont les joueurs. Le jeu donne l'impression d'être à moitié mort. La carte est envahie par des bases de joueurs abandonnées, au point qu'il y en a plus que de bases de PNJ. En 30 heures de jeu, je n'ai croisé absolument personne. Les PNJ sont d'une stupidité hallucinante. Ils se lancent des grenades dans les pieds, se tirent dessus entre eux et se laissent massacrer à l'épée sans réagir. L'IA est tellement mauvaise qu'elle en devient comique. Le farm est sympa pendant quelques heures, puis le masque tombe. Le jeu vous demande de récolter des quantités absurdes de ressources, uniquement pour rallonger artificiellement sa durée de vie. Au final, le gameplay se résume à une boucle interminable : farmer, faire des allers-retours, recommencer. Le ver des sables est spectaculaire les premières fois. Ensuite ? On l'évite sans même y penser. Une menace qui finit par devenir un simple décor. La construction est tout aussi décevante. Si vous rêvez de créer une base originale, oubliez. Vos choix se résument essentiellement à construire un carré... ou un rectangle. Le jeu avait pourtant énormément de potentiel, mais il manque de contenu, d'interactions et surtout de joueurs. Aujourd'hui, j'ai davantage l'impression de visiter un serveur abandonné que de jouer à un MMO de survie. Je ne regrette pas mes 30 heures, mais... ca me trou le cul

Много багов и вылетов.

Some of the most fun I have ever had in a game was during the first few weeks after *Dune: Awakening* released — but the game has moved in the wrong direction since then. The early game is grindy, but fun to play through once. The real highlight was the original Deep Desert endgame: vehicle PvP, fighting over spice, shooting down cargo haulers, and stealing resources. That created real stakes and made the world feel alive. After the rocket pod speed reduction, vehicle PvP became far less enjoyable and mostly turned into bombing players on spice fields. Testing Station PvP was also great until the best blueprints were moved into PvE instances. Deep Desert base raiding during sandstorms was always bad and never felt like a good PvP system. Now the endgame feels like a PvE grind instead of meaningful PvP. Once PvP became fully optional, it lost most of its purpose. Instead of fighting over valuable resources, it often feels like trolling or griefing, such as thumpering ornithopters, because there is no real reason to win anymore. The economy was never good, and duplication glitches made it even worse. Early-game PvE materials become worthless the moment you reach endgame gear, which kills trading between playstyles. PvE players and PvP players should both have ways to make money and trade for items obtained through the other playstyle, but that loop never really worked. On top of that, the current augment system feels horribly imbalanced for PvP. The launch version was rough, but exciting. The current version is more polished, but much less interesting. For me, this went from a game with incredible endgame potential to something you play through once and then never touch again.

Everyone is disappointed that the pvp in this game didn't turn out to be what they wanted, I get it, it is not the best pvp in a game. But, I currently have 135 hours in this game and it is by far one of the best games i have ever played. I am not even close to finishing quests or having my base in a true end game state. I have also barely scratched the entire end game loop of the landsradd system talents and dungeon loop. I will surely put 100's more hours in this. What is the price of entertainment? The grocery store currently has steak priced at $50/lb, buy this game and not that steak. Buy this game, play this game, love this game. Give them our money so we can get another masterpiece even greater than this.

Dune Awakening is a perfect example of how you can take an amazing universe and completely ruin it at launch. I, like so many others, came to this game for the PvP, for the atmosphere of a real struggle for resources, and for a desert where every single day is a faction war. We were promised a dynamic world, random map generation, epic confrontations… and what did we get? A desert that feels like nothing but a backdrop, faction wars that basically don’t exist, and PvP that’s been crammed into some narrow, meaningless boxes. The peak online of 150K+ players has vanished, and now the servers are left with a pitiful 5–7K. And instead of fixing the fundamental problems and developing the content people actually bought the game for, you’re feeding us useless patches and DLCs full of skins. You keep saying the core audience is PvE players, but you straight‑up misled a huge community that believed in the PvP sandbox you promised. This isn’t game development—it’s ignoring your own players. I’m utterly disappointed.

even if you are playing solo, you can make your way in the desert. But, it is a great community of players to help you along your journey

Upkeep costs are too high, its not interesting enough to keep going but you'll still get a good time to value out of it, farming batteries for the base should take half the time it does, my server shut down before my base did, RIP.

I have played almost every Dune game over the years, and in my opinion, Dune: Awakening is the best one so far. The story doesn't follow Frank Herbert's original timeline, and as a longtime Dune fan I wasn't completely sold on that choice at first. However, once you accept that it's an alternate version of the universe, the game becomes much easier to appreciate. One of its greatest strengths is that you can play solo and progress at your own pace. It may take longer to reach your goals than if you play in a guild, but everything is achievable with patience and dedication. I never felt forced to rush or rely on other players. The atmosphere is outstanding. Arrakis feels dangerous, alive, and faithful to the spirit of Dune. Base building, exploration, crafting, and survival all fit naturally into the setting. No game is perfect, but if you're a Dune fan or enjoy survival games, this is an easy recommendation. It captures the feeling of living on Arrakis better than any previous Dune game I've played.

Have to be committed to play, bases and things degrade and fade away if you are not there to feed energy. Serious resource gathering to progress, so you have to be in to that.
