First ever, never before, unprecedented!

Hello Everyone, I have been playing video games for a very long time. To give you an idea, I am 31 years old, and I have been playing video games for 29 years. The first games I ever played were made by Activision on the Atari console. Pitfall, and Robot Tank were a couple of my favorites. I have played Activision games throughout [i]my[/i] ages. I've seen some great games, and some okay games from Activision in that time. I have played Activision games on a myriad of consoles. I have also played Bungie games since the first Halo came out on the original Xbox console. Regardless of the greatness or catastrophe, I have never once commented on a forum. I have followed a few PC games on facebook because I enjoyed them, and wanted to keep up with them. I made a website dedicated to the tips, tricks, and glitches of Super Mario 64 when I was in highschool, for webpage design class. But this game has done it! I have never been so enraged! I have never felt so deceived, and cheated! Never have I seen such a "bait n' switch" on so many levels! And I've seen the horrors of ACU, the hacks of the battlefield saga, the repetition AKA C.O.D., the laziness of W.o.W. B.C. item design, The glitchiness of the Elder scrolls series, and even heard the tragic tale of Atari's E.T. Ect, ect, ect. I am aware that there is nothing in writing about what exactly this game is to deliver. I know there was a lot of hype around the game on what it was to deliver. There were even a few mildly enjoyable things about this game for a very short time when I first started playing it. But this is, in my eyes, unforgivable. I have literally, precisely, and exactly never been so emotionally marred by a game that I would write on a forum, and never have a written of my dismay. This game was heralded at it's creation, 180 Awards! The series has a ten year plan! And this is what we get! A halfbaked storyline, tons of content cut outs, semi sandbox, errored out, PVP governed, shirk fest. I paid less for Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragons Keep and got more content and gameplay value than I got for The Dark Below. With the lackluster story delivered, bugged out gameplay especially in area that people are going to want to frequent (Raids, strike zones, PVP maps), the RNG leaving people under equipped (always a bonus hearing people say over chat "everyone get your Icebreakers out" or "How many Gjallahorns do we have in the party?") Networking issues regardless of a pristine connection and console/game ports forwarded, content cuts (the trial of Kabre for example with a whole tunnel system left vacant, along with other places people have found by glitching through walls. Previous videos on gameplay.) And PVP nerfing galore. This game has created new swear words among myself and people I run with, like[i] "being Bungied,"[/i] and teaming up with Activision as a form of [i]"selling of ones soul."[/i] These are the kinds of things that I witness and hear from people [i]around the world![/i] With any amount of intelligence you can derive that the situation in which a soul is being sold in this instance is not a good thing. I don't speak for everyone, and I am very sorry to anyone this may offend. I really do make an honest and tremendous effort to keep it positive, along with relating the things I enjoy. Or at the very least, keep it to myself, and wait for brighter days in a ongoing development of a game. But this is [i]too much![/i] It really is. I will probably play this game, here and there, because I have already paid for the DLC to come, and all purchases are final. Only to try to get whatever shreds of content I purchased. But, [i]I will not[/i] purchase another game by Bungie, by Activision, and certainly not with both titles together on the same game. - Dekaida

  • Well written good sir. I wish I could have been born when you were. I started on PS1, born in 1992. Yet you've grown up through it all and seen it all happen. +1 Shock Core

    • I blame Activision since they are the publisher. Think about it. You pay how much for COD DLC? And they give you what, like 3 multiplayer maps, maybe new guns and gun camo. As much as I hate to say it I don't think it's Bungies doing. Ok maybe a little but majority imo is Activision. Im fine with the DLC in Destiny so far. Better than a COD DLC I tell you that much

      • I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake. [spoiler]Agreed[/spoiler]

          Exact same background and age as you. Couldn't agree more. As soon as another game comes along I can play with my friends, I'm going to drop this game like 3rd period French. I'm mad at myself for buying the digital Guardian edition, they got all my money up front. Lesson learned. Never pre-ordering anything from Bungie again. May they all get rAIDS from the North Koreans.

        • You've spent 529 hours on Destiny. That's roughly five, FIVE, hours per day since day 1. If I were Bungie, I'd send you back the money you paid for it and then delete all your level 30/31 characters and bar you from ever playing any other release of Destiny.

                    • Being 32 myself, I feel that someone that's the OP's age shouldn't be taking video games this seriously or getting this upset over what should be a minor disappointment at best. Also, if the game was that bad, the OP wouldn't have logged over 21 days playing it.

                    • Wow, so much hate. This guy speaks a lot of truth! Got to the point of playing this game once a week, on a Tuesday....by the strike of 11pm I'm done until the next week. So sad. More content!!!

                        Ive been playing video games for awhile and I have to say Destiny is the most over hyped game of all-time.

                        • I think the story is supposed to be vague. They will dole it out over time and make us piece it together otherwise it won't last ten years. Not saying I agree but I think that's their plan. Some of the lore in the grimoire is good though.
