What do you think of From Dust?

Still too much. It's a bad game.

I had coupon for that - so no thinking for me :D

Btw, what's wrong with the DRM? Everybody keeps bitch*n' about it... Steam doesn't mention it, so there is no DRM, right?

It depends on what you're looking for more then anything. It's not something that I could just recommend because it's a bit of an odd game. I've only played the first few levels, but it seems pretty good. It's really a matter of taste more then anything.

Heard its bad

It's $5 already? I don't know I saw it on a Giant Bomb Quick Look, it seemed ok but maybe like $2.50 buy for me.

Pirated it a while back. If you enjoy the being god and helping people idea its brilliant and fun, but if you wanna be an evil god theres nothing in it for you xD

From dust to ashes

Neh is a good idea, but as a game is awful, need more work on it...

I'm wondering about this myself

I have it on PS3. It's a nice little game but it gets pretty boring rather fast. Each time you finish a level it shows you the same stock footage, the challenges are bland, and it gets stale after a while. The challenges placed in each level are silly, the dangers your people face get ramped up each time, some recurring in the form of stupid things. Like plants that burst into flame randomly. With plants that absorb water and burst, putting out fires but also flooding your people.

I was hoping for a Populous style of game, but it was SO short and straightforward i didnt really enjoy it.

From dust?
More like $ to dust.

singelplayer =LAME
i dont want this game 4 free

played it on xbox over at my my bud's house. It sucked. Hard. At least for me.

The sense of freedom (that you think would be in this kind of game) is extremely limited, and I became extremely bored after about an hour of play. The sense of "accomplishment" is also rather lacking, as you could spend too much time building settlements just to see some of them destroyed later on because for some other reason.

If you know that you like these kind of games, and you're a patient fellow, then it might be worth your $5. Maybe...

it is realy nice game but campaign is short and borring.

"I'm wondering about this myself" too,
but 4.99 euro

1€ ≠ 1$

I got it. The last patch removed the "always connected" requirement. It now has an offline mode, playable without an Ubi account. (that DRM was the only that made ignore From Dust at release)

I personally liked the game when I played at a friend's house. I thought it was very fun, though a few missions were tough for me. I'd jump at the $5 opportunity

I can't help but think of this game as a Populous 3 clone, though not as entertaining.
Though the game is not bad, and it's fun for a while, there's absolutely no replay value. When you're done, you're done. You can finish the game easily under 4 hours.

Got it when it came out, I love it but it is way too short, I think it's a bit of a hard audience to get too, I'm a massive fan of God games so for me it was a no brainer and I loved every minute of it.

If someone where to take the mechanics of From Dust, and combine it with something like Black and White, or Sim City or some other wide open sandbox then it would be a very VERY fun game. Being able to build your world from scratch is a major draw for people. Ubi should look into it, maybe in the form of DLC or something. Would certainly interest me.

I thought the game was quite fun, but it's not a very long game and the challenges afterward wasn't really interesting.

It's bad? But looks so great...

I played this game some hours (until reach the END) 1 time and never more, have nice graphics, extreme boring transitions and after finish the game "you will never play it again" 2.50 is good price $5.00 is money to dust :p
