When I played the beta, I thought the character movements were awfully floaty and skippy. Also, firing guns just didn't seem satisfying. However. I'm not an FPS guy. I don't like them. The only one I have ever really enjoyed was Bioshock Infinite.

So chances of me getting the game were non-existent anyway.

I don't see why people keep getting hyped up all the time over what is essentially, the same game. Point, shoot, and hide behind cover.

Not even. They said that you would never be able to finish destiny. They also said in a game play video that you would be able to explore certain that areas of the game that isn't accessible. That means they already had content planned before release.

Hmmm...that doesn't really strike me as "GOTG" status. It's actually asking a reasonable question with the assumption that, because Destiny is an A) shooter and B) by Bungie, is there anything else that goes up against it for Game of the Year?

Which directly leads back to my point. Not long ago, a good deal of Xbox fans would tell me that Bungie games are: "Game of the Year by default". When Destiny rolled around (long before reviews), I then heard how it would: "not be very good", "looked generic", and "showed a weakness in Bungie's future" (even though this is the team's first time experimenting with an MMO (specifically on console) and their first multi-format developed title.

Thus, while I was prepared to offer a concession speech, because if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I can't do so with nothing really contradicting what I said. If there an abundance of: "overhype" threads about Destiny (on our site), I'd like to see them.


I never said "GOTG", and anyone that says that or what I said "greatest game of all time" is obviously exaggerating. But if you haven't seen the overhype that Destiny has received then I guess you need to look at the site more.

I agree , i played the beta and imidiatly saw what was the game about, it was not what i was expecting and i was vvery hyped before, i knew the game would be fun but repetitive and i didnt bought it, the dlc plans they mention didnt helped either. I didnt like i didnt bought, you bought it expecting what ? you have no reason to complain cause the game had a beta and a alpha.

 

edited: and from what i see the loud guys hating are the dudes that are still butthurt about bungie is multyplatform now,  and these? they hated it since day 1.

That awkward moment when reviews did it to . and the comments on IGN from ps4 fans too

According to posts here that's not possible.

I agree with the OP. Most people already knew what they were getting with the game and if reviews mattered to them that much they should have just waited got it after reviews drop. Not every game needs to be bought day one, especially those you are skeptical about.

Exactly. Especially for those who already played in alpha and beta.

If that's aimed at me, I said nothing of the sort.
