I have played a ton of Destiny in the past week and I have yet to find my enthusiasm for it waning at all. I am not a big FPS guy (Bioshock and Borderlands are really the only two I have enjoyed, a little Halo here and there hasn't been bad either) but this game has me hooked huge. I think a lot of it is the potential the game has to expand and not necessarily the current amount of content though.

I did the pre-purchase of the 2 "expansions" (DLC by any other name right?) so I am looking forward to that. Hell, I actually wouldn't mind if they didn't go the sequel route at all and just continued to expand the story episodically with DLC through the games/consoles lifespan.

That has to be one of the most pretentious reviews I've read in a long time.

That made no sense to me, but alright. I get what he is saying, but many of the things he says are wrong for the sake of making his point.

What is wrong with destiny is not destiny but the way people buy into the hype so easily and cant spot a meh game from a masterpiece. But, not everyone has enough experience with games to be able to do that, so i hope they at least learn to read the signs. Wait for reviews, if reviews are embargoed, it means the game isnt going to score well. Dont let the pre-order bonuses stay your hand. All, in all, dont play into companies hands and then get burned.

However, Destiny is not a meh game, it is a very good game.

Also, his review doesn't review the game, it reviews the reviews.

And another pont ppl always seen to not understand is that professional reviewers shouldnt have an opinion they should evaluate the game/movie/book/whatever for what it is and leave his personal preferences asside.

The problem with reviewers and whiny people is they didn't experience the Content that matters because it just opens up.

Those reviewers are clueless wannabes
Rating a MMORPG before you actually even have the access to the meaningful content.
Videogame journalism for the toilet.

Same goes for every other person who tries to downplay Destiny.
Before you did the first raid you don't have an opinion that matters.

Yes weazel, hours and hours and hours of content and gameplay are irrelevant because you haven't played a raid. Just like Diablo UEE opinions are irrelevant unless you have done Torment 6 Nephalem Rift. Oh wait, that's stupid, and a developer shouldn't basically be rewarded for releasing a MMO/loot hybrid with such glaring flaws.

As for the article in the OP, I don't really understand her issue. Different people have different opinions. Different people care about reviews in different degrees. Could make this same review for any music or movie release. The article is basically tl;dr - different strokes for different folks.
