No, the game will definitely not flop.

Playerd most of their games, from AO, Aoc, tsw, and Conan exiles, and while I know all of funcom's faults, I also know that they always try to change the formula, to innovate, not just copy paste. I for one, i'm în the beta, and honestly I like the game alot. Playing solo and i'm so not bored of it. Can't wait to get home and play a few hours because it's amazing. That's my opinion. Sure, funcom is not a triple A company, but they sure make fun games, and that's what i'm looking for. Is the game perfect? No. Graphics are great, not the best, but still look good. They have to improve the animations a bit and it's golden. The sound effects are awesome, everytime a sandworm pops it's like a volcano blowing, pretty frightning. Love exploring in this game, also gives me a bit of Anarchy Online vibe, idk why, like in a way they made AO in a different formula. To each their own, overall the game is solid, will definitely improve and is an improvement from other survival games. That's what I like about funcom. And no, I don't think the game will flop at all, it will have a solid population after the hype goes down.

Good to hear!
Do you play melee or ranged?

I play both, it's situational. I shoot enemies that dont have shields from ranged, and the ones that do have usually charge at ya and need to use melee.

Oh, contraire... It'll flop hard. This isn't an mmo, it's a PvP gank-fest. Sure, it might make a little money, but as it's geared to a VERY niche base, it'll be gone from most everyone's radar in a flash.

90% of game play shown so far is pve. Nobody can raid your base in Hagga Basin, and you can play without touching pvp and get to the endgame, and continue to play pve only even there, because Landsraad will have missions for pure pve-rs also. What... the actual hell.

You're just a hater. Nothing constructive and true in your comment.

If it's main focus will be PVP it will be a fail. If you lose gear and bases in the game due to certain factors it will be a fail. This type of gameplay has always been for a very small playerbase.
Sure it will be fun in the beginning but this kind of stuff will frustrate many and they will quit and move on.
But as an initial sale it will probably be a success because it looks interesting and it's DUNE universe.
