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?

While I won't disagree to your post entirely, as you do have some valid points, I will point out some flaws in your comparisons. WoW, which I played since beta up until a year or two ago, was a mess. Utter white at launch. Most of the game didn't work. There was no PvP whatsoever, just roaming groups of 60s stumbling into other groups and ganking them. Nothing that grew WoW into the powerhouse it became in its heyday existed. These were ask later implementations. Much the same can be said about FF. Dozens of people standing around for hours our days waiting for one rare spawn to hopefully get a chance at one rare item. The system was flawed beyond belief. Yes, Destiny has been at let down for some and has some glaring issues (my biggest complaint being the engram system and PvP rewards doing nothing at all to encourage skilled play, as well as no ranking system). But it is a case of "to each their own". Some people will love the game for what it is, others will love it despite what it is, and still others won't be able to look past what they consider to be insurmountable flaws in design or broken promises. Again I say, "to each their own". Best of luck and happy hunting.
