I understand and agree it's being blown out of proportion, but Bungie should consider it a problem that this many people feel cheated/misled/whatever. I only post and offer criticism because I did really enjoy Destiny for all its good and bad. It's just a different animal now. I can't understand wanting to cater to those that left the game rather than those who stayed and loved it (other than the obvious answer: money). And yes, I know it's a game... However, to me and I'm sure so many more, this game created a community and this game is trying to adopt a different identity, which is splitting the community (as evidenced here on these forums) and it just isn't good for the game in the long haul. Besides, if you think it was only a mediocre game and the sequel is still average, why post on the forums with am avatar of Mara Sov? Just curious about that one?

[quote]This isn't a salty post or a bungie-luv post either. It's a serious question about the mentailty of consumers today. I noticed this division on the forum of people either accepting the product as it is or others calling out the maker for faults that clearly and/or assumingly exist. What's odd is that the "accepters" acknowledge some of the faults, they know there are problems, but not only accept them, they defend them! Even go as far as giving the excuses for the maker of the product. As an active commission only sales person for decades, I would have loved these types of consumers! They never existed though. At least I never came across them. If I ever sold an inferior, faulty, or falsely advertised product I'd either loose the customer, refund, exchange, or something. Look, when an automaker makes a car, they won't advertise the seatbelts. We assume they are with the car. We don't expect to pay extra for them as an add on later. Also, if the previous model had lights, windshield wipers, and wheel, it's assumed those would be on the new car as well. We also assume that after making a previous model or models, the newer version will have advancements and be fine tuned from the previous model. Problems from before would be no issue anymore. If the maker advertised, said, or in some way conveyed the car would get 40 mpg, we'd expect to get at least 40 mpg. If we buy the car and only get 30 mpg, there would be a class action lawsuit and recall (true story). I can't imagine a new car owner saying, "...well the last model was faulty too and it took them three years to get to fixing the several issues my car had. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt again, and this time let them get to the dozen of issues with this newer model over the next three or four years. Maybe the next model will be better! I'll preorder once again." Most normal, logical, sensible people would never give that automaker another look. Seriuosly, I can not imagine that anyone on these forums would accept poor service at a restaurant, lousy customer service at a store, willingly be okay with a faulty mattress purchase, or anything of the sort. I understand this is just a game, but there is still a point here. When did people start becoming so compliant? Just accepteing the slop plopped in front of them? These "accepters" are called "lay downs" in the sales business. Can you imagine the spouses they settled for? The cars they drive? I'm just imagining them sounding like Eeyore with their gloomy, depressed, anhedonic retorts of "that's the way it is." I honestly think it comes down to this. Sometimes we fight with ourselves, and defend ourselves from others, for being so stupid as to fall for the same trick. We don't want to look stupid, so we devoutly defend our decision. The "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." is a tough pill to swallow. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."[/quote]

Yes it is. I enjoy most of it and I’m confident that Bungie isn’t suddenly going to stop tuning the game experience. It’s what they have always done after all. I think you and the rest apoplexy crowd need to calm down.

Damn you’re dumb.

[quote]Destiny free since 2016![/quote] Still in the forums posting a wall of text a full year after the last time you played? That is just sad. You're sad.

[quote]How do I know I won't like it without buying it though?[/quote] You have to buy it to see what’s in it. ~Luke Pelosi

No one close to me bought destiny 2 for me to play before buying, even more so the problems that plague Destiny 2 don't become apparent until after you beat the campaign, so I would still run into the same problem again. So that point is moot. You can never take anyone's word as fact during a review since everyone has different tastes. Ie.. The popular opinion of the film "[i]Cloverfield"[/i] was that it was a bad movie, but I myself liked it, and it could very well work the other way around with any critically acclaimed movie.

I can't find where he says he was forced to buy Destiny 2. You are definitely the person he is talking about though, scrub.

Shhh, shhhh, shhh. It's okay. It'll be okay. Your reply validates my post. I know it's difficult to accept. Now show me on the doll where Bungie touched you. Did Bungie give you a courtesy reach around at least?

It's the "defenders" that know they were suckered and still defend Bungie are mainly who I speak of. Everybody was suckered. Some of us realize it, and won't stand for it. Others realize it, and are fine with being duped. I guess there are reasons there are "shepards & sheep" in this world. I love me some lamb chops!
