I find the bolded hard to believe. There is zero need to make this personal, if you cannot help but do so, perhaps find conversation elsewhere.

This is a Bungie game, it is absolutely relevant whether the story is any good. Especially for a game marketed as having an amazing story arc. As mentioned above I have played the Alpha and Beta. It takes little more than a Google News search to establish there was a broad level of disappointment at the ultimate lack of content in the game, relative to expectations.

You of course, have no more evidence to support your position than I do mine. And mine is not nearly as broad as you seem to believe. It is, precisely what I said: A lot of people have very expensive Destiny regret.

You don't need to regret your purchase for what I said to be true.

Have a great day

You could take your own advice... you are a mod, no? Play the game first and go back to talk about it... stop to make assumptions from nothing.

You can even just talk with anybody that played it... you will be surprise that the "level of disappointment" is in your mind

I am not making any assumptions. And I am sorry, its really not acceptable to have a go at me like that, or twist my words.

I have made simple comments, that in no way determine Destiny to be a bad game, as someone who enjoyed the Beta, and without claiming to speak for all Destiny users at any point.

One of the most common complaints is a lack of content - empty spaces, insufficient/poor story.

None of that would show up in an Alpha or Beta.

Good thing the storyline isn't important for this game. The meat is in the co-op Strikes, Heroic weekly strikes, Raids, Crucible matches, farming for loot, playing with friends, etc...

Just like how people don't play Diablo for the storyline. They play for loot. In this game you not only gain loot, but that loot needs to be used in order to gain EXP and level up themselves. It has PLENTY to do and it will only grow from here.

What's I don't like though is that you personally have zero experience with the game, meanwhile continue to spread negativity as if your opinion carries weight. You are mearly repeating the opinions you choose to latch onto without any realworld experience of your own. Unfortunately you chose to latch onto the negative, even though the positive opinions far outweight them.

It's not very flattering for one in your position. I meant this in a constructive critism sort of way.

Seems you have learned nothing about me over the course of the last 7 years, which is a shame.

 

You're loss though if you wish to believe my post to be some sort of personal attack, but carry on. I know full well how my post was meant to be taken. I don't need you trying to tell me what it was intended to be. But go ahead and try to make it seems to be something it's not. My history on the forums speaks for itself.

I commented that a lot of people have expressed regret with their purchase. I also said explicitely that the game is not a bad one.

I also replied directly to you that I have in fact played the Beta (and Alpha).

I don't understand the extraordinary defensiveness over such a mild comment

I hardly believe the bold part... show evidences of people that played it that regreted their purchase.

You didn't played the game.

You don't understand how you hate over the game is baseless.

Ethomaz.

Please stop attempting to strawman me. I have replied to you multiple times. You ignore the fact that I have played the Beta. You ignore the fact that I have not hated on the game once. You ignore the fact that I have not called the game bad at any point.

I have not presumed to speak for all who have played the game, as you have.

Woah didn't expect Destiny to sell well on X1 :o

Fair enough, if I have misjudged your intent, I apologize. FYI, there is a thread for Mod feedback, if you feel there is a need to provide it.

Right, because that is totally the prevailing attitude on the internet!

Critically the game didn't even approach expectations. A horrendous game? No.

But nothing like what those hundreds of thousands of people were expecting!

I never understand posts like this.

The game had an Alpha, people played. The game had a closed beta, people played. They had an open beta, people played.

Game releases and has HUGE numbers.

People must have liked what they played.

Except that bungie made none of that clear before launch. I expected a story and a good campaign. When I found out it didn't have those things, i returned my copy unopened. I don't need to play it to know that farming for rubbish is a complete and utter waste of time. How anyone can consider that entertainment is mind boggling.

Where? I said some do - read through the reviews? It really isn't hard to validate that comment...

I'd say you and I need to call it quits in this thread. We're going nowhere.

I don't think your moderating job isn't good. Personally, I have no issues with the job you or anyone else here does in that regard. I just personally hold a higher standard for the way mods partake in discussions, that's all. Personally, with zero experience in something I would never make an attempt to hold an overly negative opinion on something, especially when the positive feedback far outweighs it. I made that mistake LONG ago with Fallout 3.

You are always free to take my criticisms or leave them. I just think out loud.

Please read your comments that started this mess in the thread... you never said "some"... you generalized.

Just look if it was just me to replied calling you... others posters too.

PS. I'm waiting the evidences of people that played the game
