Destiny and Diablo 3: UUE Reviews

[bigjon]

I see an interesting paradim here.

Right now Destiny is around 75 on meta which generally means a "good" game.

D3: UUE is like 91 or so which means and "amazing" game.

I played D3 UUE from its release until Destiny came out and I think its very interesting that reviewers game that game passes on things they are using to justify giving Destiny a score like a 6 (Gamespot). Both games ask you to slay hordes or enemies with the carrot stick of loot dangled in from of you. One is hack and slash the other is FPS being the primary difference (both Nail the gameplay mechanics of their genre, and no reviewers are dispute that).

Both use the "story" as a vehicle to more you from one enemy killing experiance to the next and nothing more. Yet Diablo (yes Diablo 3 has a story) gets a pass and Destiny is getting crushed for this.

Some complain about the Crucible not being what they like, D3 has no PvP so I guess it gets a pass for that.

Both as you do kill stuff over and over. DIablo gives you two modes to do it (Story and Adventure). Destiny Destiny gives you 5 (Patrol, Story, Strike, PvP, Raid), but Destiny gets marked down for being "repitive" while D3 is almost praised in reviews for being repetive.

 

Again I just got done playing D3 for a long stretch and I love it, but the fact it is scoring higher is kinda a joke. I would give D3 UUE maybe a 8.7 and Destiny is a 9.2-9.5 no doupt.

 

I feel reviewers are punishing it for the hype. They wanted the game to be the end all for all genres rolled into one and it did not achieve that unachievable task so they are "crushing" it. Maybe some still think it is an MMO so they are reviewing it like that, maybe some are thinking its a MP only game like CoD or TF so they are only looking at that. Who knows but I just cant get over this comparision I just discussed.
