That's fine and all, but I'm pretty sure most people disagree with you. And of course you fully believe what you said. Everyone believes their own opinions. You just don't have to be so harsh with yours (or bring up Nazi Germany).


I don't care if people disagree with me man, why should I? I can be just as harsh with my opinions as I want to be.

Not even close! "Believe the hype", "Have you seen Titanfall", and many people proclaiming it as the GOTG. Destiny is hyped, but no where near Titanfall levels of hype.



I saw Titanfall predictions of like 10 million and Destiny of "best selling console game ever" so yeah. Extremely



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Thanks for all the great memories!

As hyped as Titanfall? Definitely more hyped.

OVER hyped though? Depends on the final game and your opinion on it. For example I have hundreds of hours in Titanfall. You call it over hyped, I call it under hyped.

Dude...you are hatin' on this game so hard. It's in beta. Take it down a notch, will ya? Some people are excited for this game, you don't have to shit all over them...


Dude...bro...I wasn't even talking about the game. I was talking about the idea that PvP was somehow better than actual content which is stupid. By the way, not everything has to be mindless positivity about everything. Not everything is made of rainbows and lollipops.


Not saying everything has to be unicorns and butterflies. I'm just saying that some of what you said is just unnecessary.

"It is way overhyped. Stupid story, boring quests and empty landscapes with shit to do."

"Destiny is like WoW except it's for dudebros."

And what has more replay value, PvP or the campaign? I'd rather have a kickass multiplayer than a kickass campaign, because the multiplayer has so much more replay value.

Did he even play the game? Titanfall was hyped as the second coming of FPS, doesn't matter how players feel about it, fact is it was supposed to turn the XB1 around at the very least win march NPD for it, clearly it failed to meet expectations, even if those expectations where unrealistically high.

All Destiny has to do is sell alot I think it was 10 mill before next year or something? Thats significantly less hype, hype to save a system vs hype to sell a lot.

Good post. That is a great way to seperate the type of hype. Destiny's hype is "This game is going to be HUGE!!!" Titanfall's hype was "Once TF hits the XB1 will being to beat the PS4 each month in NA".



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

It's definitely overhyped, but I don't think it will be a bad game or even a flawed game. The reason being is that Sony fans seem to think that because they get exclusive DLC that means they are gonna attract some huge fanbase with it...

The thread where I got into an argument over it, the users were saying that it was gonna sell more than any other FPS ever (those were pretty much their exact words...) Everything Sony these days is getting overblown and overhyped... It's ridiculous.

The worst part is that if reviewers or anyone honestly says that "this isn't the great game it's made out to be" Sony fans will suddenly start saying "I never liked that website to begin with. " This is causing reviewers to give perfect 100s for games which should only get 90s (The Last of us).

Then theres the Sony fans long term memory loss problem. They did the same thing for pretty much every game they've released, but a couple years down the line, and suddenly MGS4 is openly admitted to be an overrated game which is filled with way too many cut scenes. Heavenly Sword which was a 10 hour game. Killzone 2, God of War 3. All of those games were hailed as the best game of all time at their release by Sony fans... Half of them are completely forgotten about now. Killzone 2 is openly criticized for faking how beautiful their graphics were. I remember that when the game came out, my friends who were PS3 fans didn't even realize they were faked graphics. Shows how much those HD graphics are worth.



I've noticed a trend... Most everyone who says it seems like a legit game has played the beta/alpha or are currently in it. I just started it yesterday and I'm not saying it's a day 1 for me, but it's doing a damn good job of convincing me it is.

Then I've noticed nearly everyone who says "oh its WAY over hyped, looks lame, so on and so on" then I look at their Avatar and it's a big Mario Kart avatar or something similar to that... Hm... How much of the beta/alpha have these people played? My guess is little to none..

In the end it's all subjective. It's all our opinions and that's okay. Some will like it for what it is, some will hate it for what it is. and that's okay. Play what you enjoy and let others play what they enjoy.



What is it about Destiny that makes Playstation enthusiasts believe you must have ulterior motives to have a negative impression of the game. As if it's so good it is beyond honest criticism or something lol. Talking about posts like the one above and many more like it, or that thread.



For me it is a good game because of the exploration and coop but that's it. Not game of the year imo. The PvP is horrible, unbalanced and feels outdated.
