Dune: Awakening

This game wouldn't work no matter what I did. I couldn't get them game to launch correctly once let alone get past the shaders I tried every trick I could find ppl posting ab and nothing fixed it this game forcing the launch through funcom is stupid to say the least.

I had such high hopes for this game. Had over 2000hrs in beta to try and help form this game. But unfortunately they didn't listen to any advise a die hard Dune Fan had to offer. They went Full PvE since only 8-10% were only play PvP THEIR WORDS. Never mind they never did any content packs for PvP or Deep Desert. They said in the Beta the Deep Desert was 10% complete and they were going to add a bunch of stuff. NEVER CAME NEVER ADDED ANYTHING BUT PLACE HOLDER CAPTURE POINTS. Thats why PvP sucked. They didn't add anything but Stop people from gathering resources so you can win Landsraad AKA Resource Burn Bingo. Never mind the AI is poorly done, and their way of making things harder is Damage Sponge And Heavy Damage output. Breaking your gear more so you have to grind their lame Dungeons for a 1-5% chance of getting the gear you broke. The Co-Op is lame as hell to. yeah you can build and grind together. But most of the time you will be doing things solo until Deep Desert or Dungeons. Even then you might find it easier to play them solo, because the scaling is broken for multiple people. This is Dune themed Minecraft with broken Co-Op mechanics. Never mind the AI turns boring after your first 50hrs. Never mind the Worm is nerfed and more of a annoyance vs a real threat. BRING PVP to this game with content like Faction Wars or something that we can sink our teeth in. PvP doesnt have to have to be griefing like it was before. This could make Battlefield 6 look like garbage.

I really want to recommend this game, but I can't at the moment. Core issues: 1) Endgame is awful. Time-gated repetitive quests that don't scale in difficulty, and dark-souls-esque dungeons with a combat system that can't respond fast enough for the precise timing needed to not die in a one-shot. Character Skills also do not scale, so 3/4 of the skill tree is unusable. They scale the difficulty in dungeons to actively PUNISH groups -- essentially forcing players to solo for efficiency/feasibility. Skill tree needs a major rebalance (where skills are tied to weapon damage, duh); combat system either needs an animation lock revamp OR even the playing field with enemies (infinite push and unshakable heavies? why can't we do that?) and bosses (they don't get animation locks, why do we?). 2) Grindy. Not in a good way. Everything is time-gated in an extremely spiteful way against the player. Resources are punishing to refine in timescales, the endgame skilltree takes literally 1 whole year to complete -- it honestly feels like Funcom expects you to play this instead of work. 3) Incoherent game design. Okay: this is a game about Dune. Except the sun/heat really is not a problem. Seriously: you can play the whole game without being worried about the heat. The sandworm is not an issue as soon as you can fly, and flying is designed to be essentially and unavoidable - but also does not offer any meaningful gameplay (they nixed the idea of dogfights aside from rockets), and means you are never interacting with environment. Speaking of: they designed a beautiful, rich game space that is made entirely irrelevant after you've tiered-out of an area. Fallout 76 had a similar problem, and remediated it through relative leveling -- not sure Funcom will solve their issue, but I point it out to show that this *is* a problem that has a solution-set. In fact, what is frustrating about Dune: Awakening is that *every problem I have listed has a solution*, but funcom seems uninterested in making the game fun to play. The RPG aspects of the game are vapid; there is no branching storylines or character depth, no choices that matter, so if Funcom chooses not to fix the core gameplay problems, the game is basically dead.

Dün, Dune aldım. Güzel tavsiye ederim.

I've been a PC gamer for a looong time, I've seen great games, horrible games, and a lot of in between. But I've never seen a game where it seems the developers just hate their players as much as Dune Awakening. Its like they are doing everything they can to kill it completely so they don't have to support it anymore. Companies like this don't deserve our time and money.

Great game

de la merde!
