/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!
