Join now, let's rebel against the once loved developer. The highest rating I can give the game is a 4/10, i have it and almost barely play it. Why are we arguing? This is a good reason:

-Bardock76ie[/b]
For those of you desticles, check out [i]the truth.[/i]
[b]Bungie made trailers. They were great. We loved them. As of to this point, Bungie had so many loyalists…
Destiny released. It was probably the best game ever at the time. Everyone was blind until after their warranty ended.
We have noticed the bosses are just overpowered sponges, us just trying to cram bullets into them. We noticed how most of the weapons looked almost [i]exactly[/i] the same. We noticed that they fired Martin O';ً Donnel, and blamed him. We noticed no storyline, or no "[b]RICH CINEMATIC STORYTELLING![/b]. We noticed how they held the Crypt-Arch captive and forced him into a life of RNG. We noticed the missions, how they used a single world and put some fancy enemies and a small accessible area into a patrol world and called it "story".[/b]
TL;DR: they ripped us off.
Look at the last few paragraphs. Bungie made loyal fans buy a 4.0 rip-off. The reasons are right there. Our second in command is Quantum Sticks.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) h8ers gonna h8 m8
EDIT 3:
[quote]Because we bought the game and expected a lot more, it is painfully obvious that the game was gutted completely leaving it with bare bones. Yes the game has good mechanics, decent graphics and music, the strikes were fun but now after over 200 strikes they have gotten rather tedious. The main reason why you do the strikes is to get better gear so you can do the same exact strikes over again.
Now only after playing less than 2 months ( have played twice this past week) players are dropping out of the strikes leaving only 2 players to finish the strikes - the one aspect of the game I enjoy anymore is now becoming stressful. There Is no story and no characters to back up no story, no other distractions or aspects of the game for soloing or just to mix it up. The public events are a total joke, patrol missions a re a total joke, vendors - not even sure why there is any after looing in their inventory.
It's not so much hate posts, well maybe some are but think we all feel a bit let down and to think they are working on Destiny 2? Really? The games been out long enough now so reviews are starting to be a lot more truthful, but what's hysterical is how Bungie didn't want any reviews at the start, we all know why now. Sadly they had to of known that eventually the truth would get out.
I had played for roughly 2 months, on and off and in that time they could have easily added some meat to this game and they haven't. I doubt they ever will, think they will just throw some patches at it from time to time, maybe if we are lucky will get a pressie for xmas if we are lucky and that's their idea of trying to reel us back in.
This last update with the release of the dlc, think that was the straw that broke the camels back, of course there are some out there that are ok with that and great. However having to regrind so early in the game for weapons and armor you just finished grinding to fully upgrade? Bad idea. To release new gear and armor would have been ok, but to revamp all gear?! What probably would have been a better idea is to buff the bullet sponges ( I mean how many rockets does it take to kill a boss!) and maybe add a bit more strategy to the game.
I mean come on, how many rockets to the head can one boss take?! Maybe they should introduce nukes, would still take a few nukes to kill a boss. - everything within a 300 mile radius would be dead but the boss, heck no! I mean are these bosses from Krypton? Relatives of Superman?
A lot of the flaws in this game could be over looked IF there was actual content and a half decent story/ If you have a few friends that play on your system and all of you do strikes and raids together then yeah I can see playing this from time to time, honestly I play CoD Black Ops more now with my son than I do Destiny and that's not even that good, but at least it's balanced, somewhat. I'm not a big pvper so, but at least in CoD you all get the same guns no one hit kills and basically team with the highest kills wins - to me it's less frustrating than crucible. Although me and my son tend to play CoD Zombies and see what level we can get to.
If this game was offline and what we bought is what we have and the crucible was online, then they would have had to come up with more of a campaign / content, but perhaps Bungie was hoping that the whole online thing was new and refreshing, new gen game you know <---that's sarcasm by the way.
The Last Of Us has a pvp multi player online and it seems like more fun, but they had a epic full campaign in that game. Actually a lot of games have pvp aspects you can play online so this isn't new Anyhow at the end of Destiny's campaign it doesn't even come close to the feeling of an epic of Star Wars battle - Destiny leaves you feeling like...what that's it?!
Destiny is trying to be a fashion statement, these shoes with this outfit while shooting things that you have no idea of their history. But hey you are looking fab doing it right?[/quote]
-shadowgaze72
Woah, lots of supporters. And, just for those idiots who look at hours played n' stuff, Destiny isn't all that garbage. I mean, the game is still a [i]little[/i] fun. The DLC should keep me from getting bored, I presume.

If you didn't know, almost the same thing is happening in Destiny with Farmville.
EDIT 6:
[quote]When I traded in Destiny, I got $15 out of it...... this was with the pre-order metal case and box. They didn't want the box or the contents and the metal case added nothing. So I literally got back the same equivalent to buy a DLC in which my buddy paid over $80 for the -blam!-ing game.....
This game is a rip, even when you want to get rid of it. JingleDoob is right and if you can't see it. You must be part of the deluded. blind fanboy crowd.[/quote]

EDIT 7:
[quote]I was the biggest supporter of them really putting down "haters." After doing almost everything (I can't get a regular raid team together due to my horrid work schedule) - it is becoming a real pain to grind. All this game is so far is a shooting gallery, Skinner Box to the max game that just so happens to have the very best ballet like smoothness to the movements with super art and sound. Other than those very impressive traits - there is NOTHING! Nothing - nada - zilch. We have sparrows that are useless other than skipping killing enemies to rush through a strike. We have spaceships that are just screen fillers. We have great feeling guns which mostly look the same with some exceptions and a fashion game. It is about 90% Skinner Box maxed to such a degree you want to lobby your nation's leaders to ban the practice. That a bullet sponge shooting gallery. Come on Bungie! How could you not see what Rockstar has been doing forever. Giving the gamer so many things to do and things that they DON"T have to do but can that you can play GTA games for years. Combine their best traits - including interacting with so many characters it is just stunning - with Destiny's look, feel and sound and THEN you would have a true 10 year dynasty and in fact the best game ever made period! How would you all feel if the enemy spoke to us and not just laughed and growled? How would you feel if you could patrol the city and interact with citizens? How would you feel if you had a Public Event where you had to protect women and children? How would you react if we could race our ships to discover other planets and moons? How would you feel if you just had more blaming things to do then just pump bullets into a sponge?[/quote]

EDIT 8:
[quote]It's plain to see that the truly talented Bungie members either left or were fired. Those running Bungie now put screwing over their players as their biggest priority. No Story, No Vision, Lies upon Lies as to how Expansive, Mysterious and Enthralling Destiny would be.
Destiny has a Mad-Lib produced plot, Brain Dead Enemy AI, Zero Surprises, just Endless Repetition. It has the most Boring and Dead game worlds ever encountered. What a GD waste.
No way is Destiny gonna last 10 years in this appalling state! I'd say Destiny 2 actually getting made is a long-shot. Players have good reason to feel betrayed and let down by Destiny. Bungies former stellar reputation has been demolished, never again will pre-order or buy a Bungie game without giving reviewers time to find out how awful it is.[/quote]

I used to think running strikes were cool until I did it for the 500th time (or the same one for the 10th time in a session) Nightfalls-,see above Weekly Heroic- see above Glimmer farming really isn't fun but I have avoided it for the most part. Started raiding vault of glass. It was fun despite the bugs for a time. It does get tedious after a time. Crota raid hit and honestly it just killed any real desire to raid for me. The bugs/glitches just made me not even care anymore. Bungie doesn't care about wasting my time dying to their hack job of a raid. They don't care to acknowledge their disrespect to my choice of purchasing their product. They demean my intelligence in saying how difficult it is to fix bugs (here's looking at you heavy ammo). I expect more from game developers. This game has an identity problem. It wants to be an mmo. It certainly tries to mimic them to one degree or another. It fails in that aspect and in turn it fails in being what it is, which is actually just a shooter. Your mileage may vary.[/quote][/b] -Bigjit [quote]"If we find you having problems with a particular part of our game we will return you all into orbit and fix that problem in real time" ......

You do know gears of war 3, halo 4, bioshock infinite and skyrim was advertised differently, was hated then loved to death...
-
Personally, Bungie should be class action sued by the millions they robbed, and burned to the ground financially so that nothing remains of the company. Just a shattered memory of what once was.
-
The op is a cry baby and clearly expects more out of a video game then life itself shut the -blam!- up and enjoy for what it is.

Thinking about it last night. Destiny is the most 'murica thing to happen to the gaming industry. Minimal work[spoiler]if we assume that what we got is really what they developed and was unaltered[/spoiler]. Maximum profit. And it's a game about knowing very little about the enemy and going in and slaying the crap out of them with high powered weapons. Despite all your hard work, rewards are luck based, just like real life. Some work hard and are never noticed, others get lucky enough to boost to the top. I could go on about the parallels about the American life, about what few things are earned and bought with coins and wages. I could tell you about the emptiness of the tower, and how it displays the few who run the world.

-
A lot of this stuff is just logic and real talk. I'm just going to slide in here and say they should have NEVER. . . EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER, got in bed with Activision. One of, if not THEE worst Publishers in the gaming industry in my boring humble opinion.
-
I think the main thing for me despite alllllllllllll the other problems is the lack of a true class! I mean, let's be honest if we had 'true' classes how AMAZING would it be... a Warlock to heal an AoE attack with specific attacks like fire od Arc, Titan to take the front line with added armour bonuses and health bonuses (skill that reduces incoming damage by x %), Hunters picking off enemies with blinding speed an special bullets and better jumping capabilities. Titans can only use RPG's Warlocks only hand cannons Hunters only snipers (can change bullets eg explosive, poison, arc etc) I mean that would require actual brain work and add some real depth to the game..... imagine the skill tree to these 'real' classes and individualism it could create. Oh an health has to regen reallllllll slow so you need to be healed or heal yourself not just camp an get your health back... that negates the use of a good Warlock then an any skill or teamwork on our side. Just a thought!
-
If we find you having problems with a particular part of our game we will return you all into orbit and fix that problem in real time ...... Really what about the raid bugs Deej still waiting for a fix on VoG since it was launched or is your real time different from everyone else's?

My fav quotes were 1."if you can see it you can get to it" - more like if you can get to you can probably see it. 2. "when people see your unique weapons and gear they will know just what yiu went through to get them... very exciting." - yep... hey i see Rngesus was good to you. Lucky bug! If anyone needed an example of buying a bill of goods or a pig in a poke... Desriny is it. VtxR - PS3
-
But I do feel your pain. I just think we have a choice. We play on whether or not we are satisfied making suggestions and pointing out glitches OR we quit. If the second option is taken, no more need for complaints, just leave and probably never by a game from these guys again.

Edited by Midknight00711: 1/18/2015 3:11:52 PMWhat saddens me is, I just popped Warframe back in and checked it out. For a FREE TO PLAY game, in 9 months, they've changed a massive amount of the game. UIs better, navigation/"director " is different, bunch more classes and abilities, tons more weapons, they've added questing, more events, pet attack dogs with their own breeding system, another sentinel, summonable and customizable npcs.... You get the point. A free to play game, help supported with small micro transactions for cosmetic gear, with a shoestring budget and a small school bus worth of employees. Not half a thousand. Not an endless well of money. A small group. Beats the hell out of the hundred million+ they spent developing this souless shooting gallery. The only good thing I see is the gun mechanics and graphics engine, and you better like them too, bc they're not going to update the engine for their 10 year arc. Destiny is meant to be simplistic, aimed at the casual and the kiddie. Activision can't have anything contending with its other soulless spam shooter CoD! We're all like abused spouses tho, hate the hell out of the game and company, but love it at the same time, keep hoping it'll get better, so we keep checking back in. Which changes nothing, bc then their community manager grabs stats and goes, A MILLION kills on nameless large boss X! They must love an hour grind for shit loot, everything must be fine! Never going to get better wither in the sequels with them carrying characters over. They'll have to keep the classes and mechanics nearly the same for that to work. Because we are all so attached to our guardians that look identical to the other millions out there. With the exact same armor, skills, and slightly different colored face and hair models... The ones you see for 5 minutes a day.

I would return the toaster and buy a different brand. I wouldn't waste my time complaing unless they refused to take it back. Even then, I would just move on. At the end of the day it is only a toaster.
-
I stay and complain because I'm a fan(boi). I like it and can't just let it suck!
-
Biggity bump that ish

I only read the first little paragraph but that was a great comparison and describes this game to a tee
-
Yeah. What happened to constantly expanding universe? A subscription free MMO? With free new content? And also deej said DB will "fix" the problems of destiny. Does that mean its broken? Did they sell it knowing it was broken? Very very disappointed in Bungie

Very good points!

Ok guys, we need to make a civilian army. March on Actiderp. And kill all those corporate pigs. I will supply torches and 2x4. Make peelz proud!

Screw them both

The main problem is that destiny was released for previous gen systems which kinda held back the game. If the game was released as intended, the Xbox 360 version will have 20 discs and needs 80gb hard drive just to install and play the base game. Look at Fry Cry 4. It isn't held back by DVD-ROM technology and it is huge and pretty with loads of things to do..
-
Well new players still buy believing the hype. Joystick on my HTC news was saying Destiny topped PS4 downloads in 2014.

You just now realized this?! where were you the 2 weeks the game came out?
