good job completely ignoring everything else that i said and missing what i was saying is a fact.

be realistic with yourself, ill break it down super easy.

first of all, sit in a chair or something, perhaps in a dark room so you can really have an honest discussion with yourself on both sides of this question.

does destiny have 3.2m people playing it because of how stellar of a game it is? hmm.. well, lets see. it isnt critically acclaimed.. so thats out. more gamers have expressed negative opinions about it than positives, so positive word of mouth is out.. an insane amount of money (an amount of money that probably should have been poured into actually making the game) was put behind it for advertising.. so maybe a lot of sales are attributed to the ubiquitousness of it. it has giant names behind it pushing it, which kind of goes back to what i just said about advertising, so yes this game has been shoved down our throats and we have been told so many awesome things about it, so maybe it sold a lot based off of promises.

so yeah. there really is nothing indicating that this game has sold a significant amount based off of it being a quality title. there is more evidence suggesting that its the highest selling new IP because of.. other factors. that dont have to do with it being a great game. are you really going to continue denying that?

C'mon.. how do you know the bolded?

The word of mouth is what is selling Destiny in my opinion... I just head good things about it.

If says here in VGC people are saying it is a disappointment... I can say GAF is 100x bigger than VGC and the people there are loving it... it is already in the OT7 when the record was Halo 3 with OT8.

You can leave your bubble and face not EVERYBODY share you opinion or your friend opinion.

A lot of gamers things Destiny is great and enjoy it.

You are being annedoctal... that is why it success is hurting you... you are using your bias here to try to says the game is not a quality one when it is.

People are different and like different things... Millions of gamers like what they are seeing in Destiny.

ok well i have heard nothing but bad crap about it. lol. look at all the youtubers who do reviews on current games, like angry joe and dunky. those guys have a ton of subscribers, and if you want to get an idea of what the average gamer feels about destiny, listen to what they have to say. read the comments on those videos too.. you can hear a TON of gamers opinions about destiny. people were disappointed by the game. many others still play it while knowing that its a mediocre game. and tahts fine too. i play lots of mediocre games because i find a certain kind of enjoyment out of them. i dont understand this clinging to the idea that destiny has sales because its a quality title. its not going to kill you to realize that this game is substandard and is selling off hype. youre not going to die. these arent your children. its just a game. and honestly, the game isnt a very good one. its decent. it will never be remembered.

It is weird because Angre Joe said the game is good and addictive... it showed it flaws but it didn't make the game bad.

Maybe you are seeing what you want to see.

The game is rated with most reviews above 8/10 and you say it is mediocre lol

Why can't you accept the game is selling due it quality? It hurts you that much? I you give you a hint... you don't need to play it if you don't want.

PS. Destiny is the exactly same case of GT5... and it sold and was loved by the game community due it imcomparable qualities.

thats what i have been saying abotu destiny. its addictive (for grinders) and its a decent game. its like.. alright. 



RubberWhistleHistle on 12 October 2014

but anyway, unless somebody has anything new to say, i think im going to bow out of this argument. i made my point that bungie cared more about making a game that sells in droves than making a classic that will be remembered for ages. i think thats clear lol

For you.

It is the best game released this year for me.

There are million like you and there are millions like me.

I expect it to get some GOTY awards and the end of this year... few but it will get some... it is an amazing quality title and if Bungie continue to release an unique (never saw anything like before in any other fps) and awersome Raid each 3 months it will be for me a game to play the whole generation... Vault of Glass is a game by itself and close the size of a planet in Destiny.

It won't surpise me if in five or ten years Destiny is considered a classic and a game that changed how you see fps today.

Destiny come to staty and you can like or not that

Well... for starters it is still selling well. Much much better than a lot of other games that were massively hyped up this year. Also, calling it the biggest disappointment of 2014, despite what you may claim, is absolutely not a fact.


i didnt say that was a fact. it certainly is ONE of the biggest disappointments of the year. if youre going to deny that, then you (not me) are the biased one living in a bubble that doesnt constitute reality. acknowlege destiny for what it is. a decent game that sold the majority of the copies off of hype that a lot of people have enjoyed and are still enjoying but at the same time understand that the game is your standard run of the mill game. just because a lot of people are enjoying it right now doesnt mean that they all think its the most epic amazing shit ever. 


So do you deny every single dev to be happy about their game when it's not the most epic amazing shit ever, or is it just your bias against Bungie?

The game isn't the second coming of Christ. It's not the best game ever created. Happy now? Here, have a cookie.

Seriously, some people...



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
