After 25 hours of the Dune: Awakening beta, I'm sold on it as a survival game but still a bit iffy on the MMO parts

  I’m watching it from a distance to see how things go. I’m a fan of the Dune books and the new movies as well, so the world would be interesting to explore. Unfortunately everything I’ve seen of it gives me the feeling that it should have been a single player game instead.

  What they mentioned about the player built houses was the first thing I thought of when I heard you could build your own. There’s going to be huge amounts of clutter everywhere you can build!

  I don’t buy the written or video reviews sadly, the game looks awful :(

    How so? Looks like the general survival base building that’s been popular since Rust or Ark

      The general movement and flight mechanics look weak, it also just feels soulless. I’d have to watch again to give you a better answer but that was my cut reaction sense they allowed creators to make videos of it

  I’m just hoping there’s eventually some form of private server similar to FiveM so I can have my Dune roleplay.
