He doesn't get it. There is also a reason why the major review outlets haven't put out reviews yet. This game is an ongoing process. Its only the impatient small time reviewers who have completed reviewing it.

No, you don't get it. The game at its core is a fucking bore. I'm level 20 now and still waiting to see what Bungie was boasting about.

Some of the impatient reviewers gave it some of its best scores. You're only bitter about the low scores.


Im not bitter about low scores. I am just saying this game shouldn't be judged for the short term but rather the long term. I feel that people shouldn't really judge this game until the first updates happen.

Well as of RIGHT NOW, Destiny kinda sucks. The critics are merely telling you what it is RIGHT NOW.

When DLC comes out, that will have its own review. If they overhaul the game like FFXIV, Destiny will get a new review.

Hence, its fair to review it as is right now. Destiny 2.0 can get new reviews.

A bit hypocritical for Bungie to say that. They moved on from Halo only to commit them selves to no less than 10 years with Destiny. After they are done with their commitment with Activision, will they also feel liberated when they finally move on from Destiny? It's like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

From my experience with Destiny so far. Bungie needed Microsoft more than Microsoft needed Bungie. It amazes me how similiar in so many ways Destiny is to Halo, but without the drama and excitement. The animations and movement of your character is so very much the same feel as Halo. The way vehicles move, the way the enemies move, the way weapons load, the way weapons fire all say hey we took the code from Halo.

I am just playing the Single Player experience at this point. The story is so meh at this point. Halo started out with a bang and Destiny not so much. Level design is just OK so far. Big Peter Dinklage fan and he seems so under utilized and he just sounds bored. Finally the music is just awful compared to Halo.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
