No, I just genuinely like it a lot. It is very satisfying to play, and I'm a huge fan of both science fiction and of RPG elements. I'm on board with all of their future plans and will keep supporting the IP, as I'm already very satisfied with my purchase.

I tested this game pretty extensively pre-release for Activision, as well.

Right now, I think more people are being conditioned -not- to like it by the clickbait nature of our gaming media and "journalism."

You can create a 6 players fireteam and enter in a 3x3 match that it will divide the guys... just a few tries will put me in the oppostie team.

Custom match will come... that is another great Destiny feature to hold the whole generation.

the thing about halo or whatever is it isn't even close to the same game as destiny.

you'll do a once through on the 6 hour campain and then play the same 8 multiplayer pvp maps for the next year before moving on to the sequel.   it literally makes my mind explode when people say destiny has a lack of content and is too repetitive then go on to play team death match pvp matches for 300 hours...

for me (i don't like pvp) games like halo, battlefield, evolve offer me next to no content at all.  for the same $60 as halo i'd rather buy 6 indies because i'll be entertained for 10x more time at least,.  maybe more.   destiny gives me what i want,.. replayable co-op multiplayer.    i used to buy an occasional shooter like killzone but i don't know if i ever will again,. too low on value.

And you can play 300 hours PVP on Destiny too if you wish.

I agree with you.

Destiny give you the freedom to play what you want when you want... it really give the player the choice to focus where he wants.

You don't need another shooter.

of course you can,.. i put in about an hour and it just reaffirmed what i really already knew.   i fucking hate pvp.   pvp can suck my fucking dick.

so long as destiny is the ONLY game giving as much effort to co-op multiplayer as pvp multiplayer it will likly be the only shooter i buy.

No you can't. Cap on skirmish salvage and rumble is 3 man fireteams you should know that etho. That's another simple feature that should be a launch feature. Especially in a Bungie game. But maybe it'll come in DLC.

Played the beta, loved it
Played day 1 release, loved it
still playing it
Don't know why really, it's just fun as hell for me
1x lvl 23 warlock, 1x lvl28 hunter (maxed both subclasses), 1x lvl 2 Titan that I just started
If it's conditioning, then colour me conditioned lol, I don't care.

People call this grinding? Heh, they must have never experienced Disgaea.

Destiny ain't got shit on Disgaea. Believe me, I know. You try reaching lvl 9999.

brainwashing... the masses are easily led, look at politics for example, or the "console wars"

It's why Assassin's Creed of Duty is so massively popular

I think the answer to all of those questions in your post is just basic math. That, and you're wrong about the 25 bounty. It's a spread, and it also counts assists, and you get a bonus for one or two of the classes IIRC, don't remember which. So a game where you go 10-13 and get 8 assists is actually +5, not -3 to the bounty.

Also, going by your definition of balanced, pretty much every PVP ever made is balanced. At least you are finally admitting there are some bullshit weapons in PVP. Only a day or two ago you were on here trying to say the Mythoclast was balanced just fine for PVP LOL. What changed your mind? I guess you finally got wrecked by one.
