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?

  • sorry but this is hilarious, I have never had any lag at all. Patrols for me a blast, nothing life changing just fun alternative to PVP at end game. It will be better when when get champion ranks and much higher difficulties, to present more of a challenge. As for PVP being unbalanced, that is beyond funny, we hear that for every single game that has ever been created and will be created. And most games even after launch balance remains this mythical thing people complain about. Balance is always an ongoing thing, especially to a game like this where the game we are given at launch is the final game but merely the first step. Thats like complaining about an mmo at launch, compared to what they become. The problem sounds like you want to compare this to a MMO in a conventional sense, its not, so it will always fall short to those type of games feature. Likewise it is not strictly a FPS so it fails short when comparing to those. It is its own beast where as you are judging it for what it is not, when you should be celebrating the fact it is not trying to do the same old tired thing that we get from all post WOW MMO's and yearly Call of Duty games.
