Angry Review is up

And i think Joe is absolutely right. There are so many aspects of the game where destiny is as good as we would expect from bungie, but the story doesn't even start before the end credits roll. They totally sold us an incomplete game, with a DLC card in the package. I defended bungie wherever i could when people said the activision alliance isn't a good idea, but look what they have done. Do you guys think they planned on shipping the game with this introduction story to destiny in mind? Do you really think they thought this would be enough? I don't.

  • My 2 cents. I think most game companies should read their contracts a little better when they decide to sell to a production company. Everything EA touches seem's to go to hell. Activision is a DLC whore! Indie games are coming out left and right now and they end up being alot better than must AAA games are. I love Destiny, I always look forward to 8p.m. stream time so I can play. I know, however, that alot of the content patches and dlc coming out are things that were more than likely developed to be released with the game, and held for profitable reasons. It is a smart business move. It really is because you have "sheep" that will buy it without even giving it a second though. I will buy the dlc, I will know that it isn't worth the amount they want and it should've been released with the game. I know this, I am still buying it and supporting the business tactics of Activision. I hate myself for it sometimes, but the only other thing to do is to boycott and not buy, which let's be honest, even if a third of the gaming community did this, nothing would change. We would be miserable running out of games to play to try to get a point across that won't make our goal. I wish I could be a "sheep" but I can't. I would stick with only indie's if I could, but sadly they all release in alpha because they need our money as a kickstarter to finish it. So you play a game that is barely ready to play, run out of stuff to do, wait a few weeks, do a couple extra things, then rinse repeat. By the time the game is out, you are just burnt out of it usually. Minecraft was on of the few games that ended up surviving this process. The Forest is fun and beautiful, but my god if I don't get bored in half an hour. I guess this is just a rant to rant, there is no real goal here. I'm not trying to open your eyes, or to get EA, Activision,etc.. to have a change of heart, just trying to blow off some steam I have with the way gaming has gone in the past decade.
