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.

The reviews you mention make some very valid, objectively true criticisms while also offering some equally valid, objectively true praise for the title. The game DOES, in fact, have many, many issues that need to be, and will be, sorted out in the coming months... but that doesn't mean you, or anyone else, can't still manage to have fun in the meantime, nor did the reviewers claim that players will be incapable of having fun in the meantime. Professional reviewers are *doing their jobs* by not completely dismissing the title altogether, but also not allowing the bright spots of the game or its jaw-dropping budget and production values to blind their judgment altogether and obscure the admittedly quite dark spots. Speaking of the Gamespot review, Kevin VanOrd said it very well, if I may paraphrase: Destiny (in it's current form) *IS* an excellent foundation for something very special and enduring yet to come, but in it's current state the experience is rather hallow and certainly lacks spirit.... I have faith that Bungie will address these concerns and that this title will still be relevant for (hopefully many!) years to come. It's silly to dismiss the ideas a person brings to bear on a subject simply because you disagree with his or her conclusion -- how wasteful! Indeed, how foolish.
