IGN slams Destiny and TDB

http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/12/18/destiny-the-dark-below-review Hear that Deej, Bungie... That silence is the sound of shrinking market share. I can only assume investors are already jumping ship. If that happens, or is happening, what happens to that $500 mil budget dedicated to the Destiny franchise. I guess the angry voices do indeed outweigh the fandoys you were hoping could save a sinking ship. Edit: So I've sat back after posting this to watch the waters churn. I'm impressed with the feedback, but I'm not shocked this thread got a lot of attention, positive or negative. People can bash me, the article, or the game as much as they like...point is, I didn't post it to start an argument! I posted it more or less as PSA...in the hopes the attention this thread MIGHT receive gains the attention of someone we've ALL been longing to hear from. Keep the chatter"white" coming y'all.

    Gosh you guys are such whiny man-children. It is very sad. The amount of times the word "meaningless" is said in this article cracks me up. All and every game ever made could be argued to be meaningless in the grand scheme of things. It is a video game folks. When you piggy back on the bandwagon hype train of bitching about what could of been or should have been it is just a flat out joke. If you think the angry voices outweigh the fanboys (also known as everyone who disagrees) you are sadly confused and you do not understand how to measure such a thing. Maybe you will realize that the people who do not comment but think you are a bunch of idiot man-children couldn't care less about Bungie and sticking up for Bungie. I am not telling people to have Bungies back, I am telling the OP and the losers that are viewing video games through a MEANINGFUL versus MEANINGLESS scope or lense. It is about fun by yourself or fun with friends on any game...something you do for FUN...if you are not having FUN on Destiny then it isn't for you. If there was 30% more content you wouldn't be crying about the next thing on your list? You expect me or anyone to believe that? Bungie said they would listen to the fans and they are not I have the best ideas wahhhhh! That is what you all sound like. Do you realize that the VOCAL minority is always louder then the SILENT majority? Very old concept, but it remains in politics, political correctness, and video game crybabies voicing their opinions. The amount of people who don't weigh in on these discussions because they know they are dealing with people like you infantile self-entitled whiners who have nothing better to do then complain yet if there was something so much more fun to be doing on your gaming console you would be doing it. If you are so unhappy with Destiny then quit, nobody will beg you to stay. Whatever game you switch to that is so amazing please do enjoy yourself. Oh wait, there isn't another game that is commanding such an audience out there...figured. You might want to man-up and change your views on the way you choose to analyze what videos games represent in your life and in society. They are a form of entertainment that you should enjoy as a recreational activity and I do not mean you should play them less. Even hardcore everyday players should view games as something you do for fun and to engage socially with your gaming buddies. If you are somehow expecting for a game to deliver more then that you are past help. The amount of people on the alligator tear express just cracks me up, and somehow since people upvote it means that your feelings are validated is nonsense...most people just choose to shake their head and move on. Normal people that enjoy themselves on this game are not vindictive so they don't downvote your post.

        No one gives a shit about you or your opinion. Just STFU. If you don't like the game, just go away. Fgt.You know nothing about market share or investors. Just go die.

        • Lol posting anything like this will start an uproar. And YOU KNOW it!!!!!!... Want to hear my roar!? And again this comes from stats not an ign post. And im just going to round numbers here because im in my phone and am kind of lazy. 12 million people have played destiny at least once. The ones that stuck around played for almost 900million hours. Lets call it 890,000,000 to date!! If all those 12 million people still played destiny that would be roughly 75 hours a pop. Not the case. Lets half it! It would be around 149 hours per avg player. And even if its 3 Million players thats almost 300 hours per player. Because im pretty hardcore i suppose if you want to call it that. Ive spent i think 400 hours across all my characters. And thats only because im on e.i waiting for surgery. Im willing to bet that theres still anywhere from 3-6 million players. Could be even more after casuals are considered. And now the christmas noobs! Despite all the bad press, which is all related to lack of story. Which i like in a way. They arent setting much in stone. They are leaving everything open to interpretation, and in doing so are able to mold and create as vast a story as they need! When you start creating defining moments you creat a rock that can no longer be moved with out even more defining moments! This is the first dlc of the first game, which is unique on its own. And people are saying its shit, probably because of rng! So in the end i think bungie is creating something awesome that isnt dying! At least yet anyways! It will peak. But we have not seen that yet!

            • Some people decide to continue playing based on their own opinion, journalists have theirs. This game isn't perfect but there is nothing around at the moment I would prefer. Plus the game has huge potential and has original features like raids.

              • they are 100% right. Bungie says "We heard what the players want and we will give it to you in the dark below" when they did nothing different and said it only for profit. "buy the 'totally new' DLC guys! it's better ;)"

              • For anyone taking these smarmy armchair developers at IGN seriously, read this glowing IGN review of the China Rising 'expansion' for BF4, one of the most broke ass games around at the time. This expansion, that cost 15$, only had 4 new maps, a few new weapons, and a few new vehicles. And the maps sucked for the most part. And they give it an 8? Complaining about the lack of additional content in the Destiny dlc? I call bullshit, and I have to admit to being mind-boggled at why so many people act like they hate on the game in some forums, yet still play. lol. Please quit. Or play, I really couldn't give two shits, I'm having a blast playing http://in.ign.com/m/battlefield-4-pc/56355/review/review-battlefield-4-china-rising

              • [b]Read:[/b] Destiny was so boring that I actually tried playing league of legends for the first time and I actually love it compared to destiny and I thought league of legends was one of the most gayest game that I would never play.

                • I posted this as a response to someone, but felt I took enough time that I could repost it here. I play destiny daily. I play because I'm monetarily invested until at least House of Wolves and because every other AAA title flopped. I have well over 300+ hours gameplay. I agree with this review 100%. [b]Story -[/b] Poorly written. I understand the concept of what they are trying to do by releasing chunks of the story bit by bit to extend over their 10 year plan. But this story is poorly written. I've seen better dialog in porn. [b]Gunplay -[/b] It's good, poorly balanced I think. But nothing revolutionary it's pretty much a copy/paste of other FPS [b]PvP-[/b] Maps are aweful, if you don't conform to the weapon "standards" your just hurting yourself. Supers clutter the gameplay and overshadow the gun game. [b]Raids -[/b] Buggy, feels like they skipped or skimmed through the development a bit. Mechanics are ment to be "hard" but there not. Only hard part is figuring it out the first time, which is true about other games but I've experienced mechanics that are still interesting even if you know what is going to happen [b]DLC -[/b] If you break it down. We got like 5 new rooms, handful of weapons, and a raid. [b]Customization -[/b] Still waiting for it to be added.

                      I really hate to say that I agree with the review. The only thing I can currently participate for TDB is the time the special Hive Knights come out on Free roam and the special bounties. Because for some reason Bungie thought it would be funny to alienate the low level people and new comers (once again) to appease the maxed out players. As with the core game, this DLC had severe potential that was just thrown away.
