Destiny changed how i see game reviews
i just wanted to say that because of destiny i am officially ignoring game reviews from now on. Yes many of the bad things pointed out by reviewers and players alike are very true(story,repetitive,voice acting,etc). But for me none of those things take away from the fact that attempting alien genocide with a handful of buddies is just so blamin fun! I love the cycle of kill,loot,back to town,reapeat. Iv never played a dungeon crawler(yep,thats what im calling it) that was such a joy gameplay wise(looking at u diablo 3!). So b4 i just keep rambling about why im so hooked on this game,ill just say that iv concluded that formerly trusted review houses dont have my interests and game sensibilities in mind when writing their reviews. Iv never held reviews as the primary factor when deciding to buy a game,but it was a consideration. But now after seeing the almost fervently angry reviews(gamespot,polygon,and escapist in particular) these people clearly are not in line with my interest and their opinions will get 0 consideration in my decision making process in the future.

Imagine playing Mass Effect for 15 hours before anything starts to happen, or the game reaches its potential (spoiler alert, it doesn't, as the game builds a fascinating universe in the first few hours of gameplay). It's also like saying "Well, GTA V can't be properly reviewed yet because heists and zombies haven't been released yet." That's so wrong. A game should be shipped as a complete title when it gets published. DLC should just expand the main storyline, or add nuanced options to the multiplayer. Downloadable content should NEVER be necessary to comprehend the storyline of a game. I paid $60 for GTA V that will have more than twice the content of Destiny even once Destiny releases all its DLC. I appreciate an open mind when it comes to reading reviews. You need to be able to form your own opinion about an entertainment title, but at the same time you cannot discount everyone else's opinions simply because you disagree with them. Typically in regards to a game, an opinion is backed up by something vaild. Just don't be an idiot.
