That's Pretty Impressive

Honestly, it's amazing how many excuses you guys can come up with for Destiny Seriously, the faster we can admit that Destiny has flaws, the faster we can actually discuss the game Really, do you actually except this game to be [i]the best game ever[/i] or so good that you'll skip school or work for it?? I love Destiny as much as anyone (not you guys though) but honestly it's just a game The conversations you guys hold really worry me "Deej, please cancel his preorder. We don't want him to experience your epic creation" - some fanboy who responded to a legit concern Seriously?? You guys need to admit that it has some flaws No split screen? That's a big flaw "Modern games have no need for split screen" "Split screen holds the game back" Really? If Bungie had added split screen I can guarantee that [b]no one[/b] will be complaining how split screen is such a thing of the past No proximity chat Another big one With how much Bungie is emphasizing teamwork, you would expect a ways to communicate with others right? You're seriously very alone in the "social" world of Destiny "I don't want people raging through my mic" Then mute them Is it really that hard to spend five seconds to mute someone?? These features are optional You don't want them, don't use it They're easy to add but still You guys defend Bungie like they're always right And after the beta, there were obviously many features that we didn't like or didn't see "ITS JUST A BETA" I hate that so much We were a month from launch Did you really except them to add all your beloved features in? Whatever you saw in the beta, that's it From the beta to the launch is just to smooth out bugs or to fix up any technical problems And they really didn't try to hold back in the beta Don't try the "they blocked off a large percentage of the beta" thing "We're treating the beta as its own product. It's going to be big. We're throwing everything we got at this thing" - some interview with Bungie It was advertised as the preorder bonus and its own grand journey Honestly, it left a lot to be desired I'm not going to say what the beta failed at because every game has flaws I'm okay with that It's just the community coming to defending every mistake that pisses me off Now after the beta and you get more and more info, toy realize that the content is much smaller than you thought and that it doesn't live up to expectations You then try to push the problem away by saying "DLC! DLC!" "Private matches in DLC" "More planets in DLC" Seriously, the fact that there are DLCs in the first place is terrible The game should come with the full game Not as a disc with downloads later on Trust me, DLCs don't offer that much From what I've seen of Destiny, DLCs are likely to include -Couple of new missions -Some new guns and items -New maps Do you really expect this game to be all that?? And when you find a legit concern, you mark it off as a O/1O troll to avoid addressing the problem #Destiny is basically Praise Destiny No opinions That being said, I love Destiny It's a great game Not the best or groundbreaking but very good But this forum is very self defeating You post questions that you already "know" the answers to "Will there be/Will you do/Why would you Blah Blah Blah in Destiny?" How do you know what's going to be in Destiny? You want so much in this game that of course you're going to think that it's all included This is the same argument you use on people with concerns for the game "You don't know what Destiny is like so don't criticize it" Yet you go right back to daydreaming about your beloved features that you want in the game Once (if) you finally realize that Destiny isn't perfect, we can have discussion "Oh this weapon/feature/map/gamemode is lacking. What can we do to fix it?" Or "Oh man, this weapon/map/mission/feature totally sucks. Let's see what we can do to make it better" But there's none of that because you think the game is perfect Let's please come back to Earth and be real Thanks Edit: I'm not complaining about the game I'm complaining about fanboys defending it

  • Quick question (this is directed towards PS4 player) when I add someone in my fire team will I be able to chat with them in game or will I have to make a private chat? Just wanted to know because in the beta I was always in a private with my friends so I never tested this out.

    • I see what you're saying. And yes, there are fan boys that defend Bungie no matter what people say. With that said, I really can't bring myself to call these flaws. They are design choices. Granted, they are design choices that don't jive with me and a lot of other people, but they are choices made after a decade of making great shooter games. Split screen, VOIP, custom games, etc. Yes I want them all, but this isn't Bungie's first rodeo, and if they needed to do other things first or felt like those things would make Destiny something it's not supposed to be, than so be it. I will buy the game and most likely forget about VOIP as and just naturally invite more strangers into my fireteam so I can talk to them. Better yet, I imagine Bungie will save me from several frustrating moments as a teenager dances on my dead body and screams "-blam!-" at the top of his lungs over and over. No one will thank Bungie for that, but they really are making choices they feel are best for us. Some people blindly follow, but I would like to say that I have responsibly given Bungie my trust.

      Of the three main points you make, Proxy chat is the one I feel is completely justified. The lack of Proxy chat makes socializing in the game hard, and in a social game like this, it's a big flaw, and a thing that needs to be addressed. I have gripes with your points about split-screen and DLC, though. Split-screen, oh yes, the pet peeve of all who love Bungie, is strangely lacking in this game. Why? There is a simple reason, and you stated it yourself. It holds the game back. No, not even that, it is practically impossible to make this game split-screen with current non-highend-computer tech. That, is a fact. Optimizing a game that is already heavy on a system to run twice at the same time is not a thing that just requires a simple press of a button. It would take a huge toll on the hardware, even if you lowered the resolution and allowed FPS to drop. Even if it was possible with Crucible, Bungie on other hand stated that they want all to have equal chances when playing, which is why they didn't allow cross-gen play, because it would be unfair to last-gen players. Doesn't that already tell you something? If the difference in cross-gen, coming from just some game resolution, is too much, then why would they allow split-screen, that hampers not only the resolution, but the field of vision too? Yes, it would have been nice, but it doesn't just work so easily. Bungie wants an even playing field, so respect their choice, okay? You can't expect them to be able to please everyone. It's a non-optimal situation, but hey, Bungie ain't perfect. Then, the DLC. Destiny is supposed to last 10 years, how will it do it without DLC? Pixie dust? Seriously, is there really another way to prolong the age of a game than DLC, especially for something so ambitious as Destiny? It's an honest question. I don't have gripes with the game's size, I think it has plenty, do you? I know people were underwhelmed by the size, but we have to rational here. Take Destiny at face value, don't compare it to the insane hype. You'll be in tears otherwise. In short, Destiny is over-hyped, but it will still probably be my GOTY. It's not a perfect game, I admit that, but it will still probably be a blast for the most of us. As an addendum, even though it is your main point: Yes, the fanboys who just defend it with all their might are annoying. I just hope that I don't get classified as such, as I don't view myself as such (But that is just personal bias anyway).

                  Obviously you just want everyone to see it exactly the way you see it. You don't want to "discuss" it at all. You berate anyone who doesn't agree with you. What kind of bullshit thread are you even running here? Wait for it... oh I'm a fanboy! Knew you'd say that. I fuc kd your bitch. Praise the base god! #tybg

                  • Meh, it impressed me and happy with the beta. No one can ever make a game everyone will be happy with. For everyone of you arguments for there is another against, go develop a game if your not happy. I got a space shooter thats enough fun for me to hang out for.

                  • This post has some points, and then it doesn't. For example, split screen? Honestly, it's used on the rare occasions that my friends come over and don't bring their own consoles, or if we play Minecraft. But really, it hasn't done anything for me in years. It's not a necessary feature anymore, and that's a fact, sad as it may be. People don't use it enough anymore. Private matches? I'm kinda of upset they aren't here, but I rarely used them in other games to begin with. But even then, their point is moot for most non-clan gamers. And really, this isn't the game I'd play them in anyway. "It was just a beta". This statement is true, but is often used in an entirely wrong manner. People often say it as though it was missing key features or its going to change a lot. It won't. However, it was still very limited. We had access to low level guns, two playspaces (one was for less than a day, and if I remember right they were the two smaller playspaces), some of the areas in the playspaces were blocked off by walls anyway, and of course we had only a small part of the story (any complaints about Earth's story missions are fair, but I thought the Moon's was good). DLC's nowadays are commonplace. I typically don't get them (really when I think about it Borderlands 1/2 are the only games I did get them for), however some games (like Borderlands) have DLC's that are better than the original game. This one though has to be taken with a wait and see approach, because until we know what they give, they're too hard to judge. Also, if I can get 40+ hours out of a game, I typically consider that a cost effective investment. If DLC's can keep the time going further, I don't often see why not to get them, if you have the money. The game was very fun for me. That's what matters. I'm not looking for revolutionary, or graphics, or sound design, I'm looking for a fun game. And Destiny's beta was more fun than 3/4 of the full games I own. That is what is most important to me, and that's why I defend it. Different opinions are different.

                    • Yes I am honestly dissapointed in this game before beta before alpha when all the hype was around and bungie was filling our heads with stuff to fuel the hype I seriously was like omg this game is a one if a kind. Simply put it they made it sound like a 1st person MMORPG and yes I know what it is so don't flame me on the MMO thing. I was expecting huge open world exploration like they had promised, finding random ppl and making friends via proximity chat, competitive multiplayer via private matches, and many more. Later we found out that it wasn't what it lived up to be. 2 big hit companies Activision and bungie came together and spent $500mill on a game and yet they held it back so much you guys got to admit this. Then I found out about No Mans Sky and was like " This is the type if game destiny was made out to be". Now I'm only just dissapointed that bungie wants to hold back Destiny's full potential but I'm still going to play it and enjoy the shit our of it.

                              • Your entitled to your judgement , but in my eye's your judgement is shallow and of no base. Split screen is something I never did like ,always preferred Co-Op from two different TV's not cutting down your view area in split screen. That being said yes Destiny was made by human hands and minds so it will have flaws. Not everyone will see things the same. Hence your entitlement to your own view of the game as we all are. And if we're idiots in your view I guess that makes you an idiot in ours....

                                • TL/DR version: I take peoples comments too seriously I am using my out-of-my-ass guesstimation on what the DLC will include I am citing basic things as issues, that the vast majority of the Destiny forums have already agreed are issues ( no private matches, for example ). Nothing new or bold here. Just combining many of the various complaint threads into one large one.

It's also funny stating the obvious posting people are fan boys on the forum meant for fans, I don't know what you were trying to accomplish here. People are die hard on here it's to be expected

                                    • This whole forum is becoming very boring honestly. Always the same thing over and over. #Destiny is, for the most part, a broken record. This post is an example of that broken record. Your right though...Bungie is not perfect and never will be. Some of the problems you mentioned however are not exactly innately "problems" as you say. They are merely ways that Bungie is trying to make Destiny. No game is perfect...that includes Destiny.
