I can't say that I've been blown away so far by the videos for Destiny either, but I'm certainly not going to jump on to a forum and start whining about a game that's still months away from release, especially considering I haven't played it yet.
Also, for the guy complaining that Destiny looks like a cross between this game and that game and this game over here, gaming evolves by how certain titles change the 'way' we play, not by changing how good something is to look at. That always comes afterwards.
Name one successful title for me that had a significant impact on gaming culture and development simply because of how it looked, because I definitely can't think of one.
Not one.
Gameplay always, always comes first, even for you.
So if Destiny looks derivative or uninspired graphically, if it plays like a beast, then it is one.
And since none of us have actually played it yet, you'd be better off reserving judgment.


except the gameplay looks exactly likes borderlands the press has yet to rave over the gameplay.

how does it look like borderlands exactly?.. it doesn't use a cell shading technique or art-style, the players themselves are not over the top, exaggerated stereotypes (vixen, badass, skinny guy), if anything it's reminiscent of borderlands, which was reminiscent of the literally dozens of post-appocolyptic titles before it. I mean, I kinda get what your saying, but if Bungie is going for that type of atmosphere, how 'different' can they really make it look without it being comparable to to previous, similar themed games?

and no, the press have yet to rave over the gameplay.. at least any that I've read, but why would they? It's still months away from release. I don't remember any articles saying how awesome the gameplay for Battlefield 3 or COD was 3 months out from hitting shelves.

Yes, are you refferring to the feature when people join your game? 

 

If so, wow how revolutionary and innovative. Doesn't change the fact the gameplay looks exactly like Borderlands, as well as the art style, and it lacks any character or soul imo.


you could have said the same about online multiplayer when it was first introduced.  halo online plays no different from a halo lan party afterall...

 

the silent matchmaking system will break down the barrer between single and multiplayer. no more waiting in lobbies and watching (what feels) like houe long load times.  just pure gameplay. 

and to the best of my knowlede boarderlands never let you shift between first and third person perspectives. 

and i think the art looks amazing. 

...but if you want to hate on everything that isn't entirely original i'll warn you,  you are going to be a sad person. there are no original ideas and the things you thought were original aren't.  you were just too inexperienced to see the prior arts.  if your that jaded just quit. 

If you have to tell journalists what sets your game apart from an established IP, you can't be that original, now can you?

And that feature will hardly be revolutionary, and you mentioned ONE original thing about the game, I guess that makes it boring gameplay okay cause you no longer have to wait in lobbies to experience it. Seriously, I have yet to see one dazzling reception from journalists, and I have yet to see any compelling gameplay, if the press isn't all over it like they are over any good game, then I have no reason to believe this game will be good.

 

Hell the vast majority of game changing games get great previews, use titanfall for example. It got great previews from the press and the gameplay was always exciting, meanwhile Destiny isn't and the gameplay looks boring as hell, and many are calling it underwhelming, obviously the game isn't going to be that good, and from what I've seen, it looks trash. But that's just my opinion.

so you are going to fault them for conducting an interview with a journalist...  so desperate. 

 

listen, i imagine this will turn out a lot like CoD.  a few elistists like yourself will swear up and down about how terrible the games are but every year tens of millons of ravenous fans drops billons of dollars into the franchise.  and that's how you'll know your opinons are irrelavant. 

 

previews have been positive btw.  maybe not neogaf "leaks" but actual real journalism has been mostly positive.

Destiny looks boring. This gen has been a huge disappointment when it comes to none Nintendo games. That's would be fine for me if Nintendo's release schedule wasn't up it's own ass.

Killzone was mediocre. Rise was bad. Infamous was mediocre. Titanfall was mediocre. Watch_Dogs is mediocre. Ground Zeroes exists. Theif was disappointing. Wolfenstein was as generic as it was always going to be, but at least that game wasn't trying to be more grand than it knew it was. Everything else is delayed. It's not just Destiny. Pretty much everything looks like trash.

I wouldn't call Watch Dogs, Infamous, or Titanfall mediocre, but hey if that's your opinion then not much I can do about that.

Edit: You have played Watch Dogs, Infamous, and Titanfall right?

I lost my hype for this game as well. I still believe that this will be a good game but the gameplay failed to wow me.

Every game these days has it's own group of haters. It's all the fashion.

Yeah, all three. I haven't beaten Watch_Dogs yet though. Only like 4 hours in, but from what a lot of reviews say it's pretty much this for the whole game which is pretty boring.

Not falling for the hype is being a hater? Also, that really applies to anything not just games.

and when an actual reason to hate a game doesn't exist the fallbacks of "generic" and " boring" always come up.

I'm not an elitist at all, I never trashed CoD or any other big game but this looks trash period. Multiple outlets have compared the game to destiny, the devs themselves have compared the game to destiny, the gameploy looks boring. Not desperate at all, just dissapointed, if anything you're desperate to defend them with literally no points other than calling me an elitist because of my opinion.

A guy who does a lot of hating on this forum is being critical of haters? Interesting.

 

I'm looking forward to Destiny and I'll get it on day one. However, the trailers thus far have been underwhelming. Sometimes opinions change when people play the final product.
