/facepalm...
Thats so damn embarrassing... thats like a developer bragging about a good review they got from Game Informer.
I cant wait for this weeks fluff-date to have more back-patting over a job well done. I think the psychology at Bungie has become the following:
[quote]Dont address community concerns. Continue to stretch gameplay as thin as possible in place of content. Strong-arm players for $$$. Smile and tell everyone how great your game is. If we do this long enough, it must be true.[/quote]
A lie told long enough, eh Bungie?
Well, in between [url=https://twitter.com/bungie/status/543547273448140803]giant cupcake parties[/url] and the once-a-week pulse check, perhaps you should put your ear to the ground?
[u]Gamespot[/u]: didnt win on any console, GOTY was SoM, didnt even place in the player's choice top 5
[u]Polygon[/u]: didnt even rank in the top 10
[u]IGN[/u]: although the GOTY hasnt been announce, Destiny isnt even a nominee
[u]Edge:[/u] Nope, Bayonetta 2
[u]EGM[/u]: Nope, DAI
[u]Eurogamer[/u]: Nope, MK8
[u]Gameradar[/u]: well shit... you won one... before you get too happy, look at the comments by readers in the GOTY article, might actually be more humbling than had you not won...
[u]Game Revolution[/u]: Nope, DAI
[u]GameTrailers[/u]: Nope, HS... (seriously?)
[u]Giant Bomb[/u]: Nope, SoM
[u]Joystiq[/u]: Nope, Som
[u]Kotaku[/u]: Doesnt appear to be doing a GOTY this year... just a top 12 games, in no particular rank, of which, Destiny is one... so grats on at least 12th place?
[u]Metacritic[/u]: Nope, SSB
So what I am really saying, Bungie, is Congratulations! What a [i]prestigious[/i] award! You should be really [i]proud[/i] with the game you have made. As I am sure you are aware, the players couldn't be happier!

I don't care for any of those reviews...most I don't read...the sheer volume of players that criticize the game are the same ones that continue to log in every day and still play the game...if you don't like it and feel the same way as these reviews, then don't play, to simple...why continue playing a game you feel is one of the worst games ever?
