There seems to be an overwhelming number of people bashing the critics that are disappointed with the game. A lot of "GTFO my internets" kind of flaming going on. But come on, really? Are we really so wrong that we're not entitled to our opinions? No. Grow up people.
I mean if you think this game is great, that's fine. I think it's pretty great too. But only in some ways. I just wish it was even better, like most of the other games that are around these days...
To be honest if Destiny is anywhere on your top 10 games of all time, you're not a gamer and you know nothing about how much better games can be than this. This is a tragedy. A multi million dollar disaster. Developers with MUCH lower budgets have made timeless and perfect games that can never be outshined by the likes of Destiny. There is no excuse for Bungie and Activision to pour so much money into this game and have it be so very glaringly obvious that it's poorly designed. If you think otherwise you really don't know jack shit about gaming. I'm sorry but it's true. Have fun on your mindless shooter while the rest of us go play Dragon Age next month, because it's actually a REAL RPG.

The world agrees with us. Why don't you? Oh wait, because you're just one of the millions of troglodytes who were conned into buying this ingeniously MARKETED but poorly designed game.
By the way, a list of some of my favorite games that actually have high scores from critics and are relevant to the FPS/RPG genre. Destiny averages about 7.5/10:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Prime Average over 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect average just about 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront and here's one for you "shared world shooter" people. 8/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront_II 8.5

Venus shoulda been a dome that you can see thru or something. Also the enemies are the same thru out, lazy NPC coding and behavior. This game is pretty much Halo4+Oblivion minus a cool back story.

Tell me, what is a 'real gamer'? Because the last time I checked, a 'real gamer' was a 'real person' that played 'real video games'. While I agree with you that a game that has been in production for a decade should be A LOT better than this. I will not stand by you when you are throwing out such hypocritical labels like 'real gamers' on a thread that is supposed to be about opinions, which is something that all 'real gamers' should have whether or not they are fans of this game or not.
-
If every time someone had a complaint they didn't have to add " if you disagree you obviously don't know what a good game is." And then insult someone who's opinion differs you'd have much more traction. As soon as I see those comments I assume you're trolling. If you dislike destiny good for you, but stop trying to make it likes it's the civil rights movement. It's a video game for christ's sake.

Edited by DaveInWoodland: 10/9/2014 11:23:49 PMIn all the years I have been playing which is probaly more then the average age on the forums I cannot remember when there was such a polarization among various players as there is with Destiny. Everyone has a right to speak how they feel about it but to see most responders to that you would think those that don't post glowing comments murdered someone's first born. I think allot of that comes from people (just my opinion) that they want to be validated in their purchase and not think they did not make the best choice. I do know that for myself there were times when I truly enjoyed playing but they were few and far between the times I just wanted to stop. I have made several posts about that and of course they were usually met with disdain and name calling which gets old to me very quickly. I actually come to the forums as a barometer to see which way the tide is going and for some entertainment since I have allot of time of my hands normally. But I do understand what you're saying 100%.
-
Why do you waste your time on the forums then going through the effort to tell people they shouldn't like the game because you and some others don't?
-
I'll tell you why. If you were to state your opinion constructively, you would have far less "GTFO" comments. However, in this very post you state that people who enjoy the game enough to make it their top 10 aren't "real gamers" or that people are "troglodytes" then dare to wonder why people react and flame you?
-
-
The ONLY way to have voiced your sacred "opinion" would have been to not have purchased the game. Too late.
-
I don't "bash" anyone opinion, but an opinion from a person with no experience means nothing. They have no real basis to on which to form an opinion. I never studied physics, you don't see me making an opinion on how to make the space station better. When a profile says "This account has not played Destiny", that's a red flag. I pretty much ignore whatever that person thinks of the game, as they have no experience playing it. Same thing with people who complain about Bladedancer, but they've only got one character and its a Warlock. If you haven't played the character from both sides, you don't have enough experience to form a valid opinion about the topic.
-
updated the OP for the "shared world shooter" people who think destiny is so "original" that it invented its own genre. pffffffff. no such thing as a shared world shooter. it's a MMOFPS.
-
The games a month old FFS, name one game that's in the same category as this and was perfect. Pro tip you can't.
-
Starts a poll entitling everyone to an opinion, begins to berate, insult and invalidate all opinions out of line of his own. Have fun with your toast, ignorant troll, you'll get no breadcrumbs from me.
-
Yup, and there's a place called "Feedback" where you can put those complaints
-
Dragon Age 2 fit into that sweeping statement? Opinions are opinions. Most are fueled by misinformation, poor education on the topic and rumor. Few are founded in actual fact and if they are, they're an argument for or against. Otherwise it's nothing but assertions that should rightly be dismissed. We can even steep ourselves in reality to get a check in what's going on: $500,000,000.00 was rumored to be invested into the game, if that value was the true investment, it would be for the project over its lifetime. When a game pitch is made, it's usually for a single game unless a studio has a track record for making multiple AAA titles in a single franchise run. They get a different kind of contract, much like the music industry and having to make 5 albums in 10 years is pretty much what it looks like. DLC or on the disk cut content for cash: this has been covered a lot but those who are ignorant will stick to their guns. You can, by right, latch onto whatever information you want. But, it's ultra rare for a studio to do anything like that for nefarious reasons. There are so many things wrong with many of the opinions posted that people just get tired, angry or annoyed that they either avoid or fuel the crap posts. So carry on complaining about complaints over complaints while trying to elevate ones worth and dismiss someone else's. It's just a self perpetuation smug snorting joke.

But stating your opinion as though it were fact or harassing other players because their view doesn't match yours...that's different. Also why blast the net with your opinion? If you want to criticize a game be constructive and leave it at that.
-
ur tgefat-blam!- u dumb piece of shit, motherfuker
-
So wait...you want us to respect your opinion...then you completely bash ours and put the game down in a childish deragotory way? Most destiny "critics" are bashing based on circumstancial things/conspiracy theories (OMG ANON REDDIT AMAS ARE SRS), or just linking someone else's video review and saying " YEAH...PRETEND I SAID HIS WORDS". Its rare for me to respect a critic...not because his opinion is different...but because he goes about spreading his opinion in such a childish and non-respectful way. Just like you.

When you spam the living hell outta the forums with the [i]same[/i] topics/complaints, your opinions aren't worth a grain of salt.
