My Opinion on Destiny Has Changed

I posted two days ago that my negative opinion on Destiny--based on the BETA--had changed to a positive one... this is no longer the case. After playing Destiny for the better portion of five days, I can say that with all honesty, Destiny is a shallow mess of a "game", clearly designed as an arbiter for DLC. PvP is an unbalanced, laggy mess, Patrol is shallow and boring as all hell, and the great backstory in which Joe Statan wrote is pretty much not in the game, what-so-ever. Basically every flaw I pointed out pre-launch is a reality, reflected in poor review scores and negative feedback. Even the ones telling me that I was wrong about Destiny are opening their eyes to this mess of a game. Nothing but lies and overhype. Bungie died after Halo. What a waste. Edit: If you're going to reply to me with something along the lines of "Destiny is like an MMO at launch, that's why there's so little content." - just stop. It's clear that most of you have no prior experience with MMOs. GW2, FFXIVARR, WoW and TOR - all four games had mountains worth of more content than Destiny during their respective launch periods. It seems that there is always some excuse as to why Destiny isn't lacking, be it, "It was a BETA", "It's going to be updated", "Wait for the DLC", or just simply, "You're bad at the game". Some of the replies I have recieved are truly hilarious. I really do hope that you continue to enjoy Destiny if you already are, but these are some serious problems with the game in which Bungie needs to acknowledge. I have become Legend, now where's the rest of the game?

    Couldn't agree more. However, I'm gonna keep paying. I'm hoping bungie will look at all of the negative feedback and fix what they can. Firstly. The story was an absolute let down. They've never been the best when it comes to character development, or particularly long campaigns, but that was probably the most shallow story I've played since titanfall. That being said there's room to add to it in dlc, whether it's giving us more back story or simply expanding on what has already been presented. I'm interested to see what they're going to do there. Secondly there's the scale of the game, or really lack thereof. Sure the areas we play I the moon, Venus, etc seem pretty big, but the fact that I can skip across it in 2 minutes is kind of a let down. So open up the planets. What does the rest of earth look like after the fall? Show us just how big Olympus mons is on mars. Show us the vast underground network on the moon, not just a tiny portion. Perhaps they will do this in the dlc, but what I'm expecting is just add ons or different mission in old russia, sunken city, etc. Here's to hoping. Thirdly, the bosses. Either you make it so I don't waste 20 to 30 minutes shooting this thing or you give me a whole lot more loot, because it's not enjoyable to go into a match knowing you'll slave away for a good portion of an hour and get next to nothing for it. And I swear to God if I get one more legendary helmet for a class that isn't mine... Those are my biggest issues with the game thus far that can be fixed.
