Game cant be that bad. You are still playing it.

Ok Bungie you have your feedback. The sites have spoken, YouTube has spoken, and the community has spoken. Now fix this...

My only problem with people posting what video game journalism sites say is that it shows they are not forming their own opinion about the matter. Either that, or they don't articulate the issues they have well enough for companies to be able to fix what's wrong. Gaming journalism does not need to lay out how to fix an issue, they just need to post on what's wrong. Bungie knows their game has become a grind, but there hasn't been an over abundance of people saying "hey, here's how to fix things being a grind" they just repost and revive what these sites are saying. I'm not saying "your opinion has to be that you love Destiny," but you should be able to find at least some redeeming qualities and maybe if people picked out more of those good qualities, Bungie will be able to shift the game for the better in that direction. I know the game has flaws, but so far I've been having fun when I play. If that ever changes, I won't be saying "Destiny sucks," or "Destiny fails," I'll just bow away and go about my merry way to the next game that catches my attention. That being said, with one more announced dlc, and possibly more content beyond that, I should be pretty entertained for quite a while yet.

I think that IGN messed up on their rating of the expansion. In the verdict section they have 5 points that they point out. Three of which they have listed as negative. If you want to do an "X" out of 10; one would think that based on their verdict that they would of given it a 4 out of 10.

I'm so glad I stopped playing. This game turned into nothing but a massive unfufilled grindfest. The only reason I'm on these forums is to see wether or not destiny sinks, or manages to fix it's shit in time before I simply discard it. I wont even turn it back in gamestop, I'll simply throw it away. where it belongs

IGN was generous... They didn't even mention the exotic upgrade debacle or the ascendant shard early release snafu.

No offense but IGN only knows Crap. Craigg and the others are sore losers who rate games only on what they like. Thats basically it. Not hating IGN Reviews: some are good but giving this game a 3.5/10 proves that they didnt play the game enough. For F-sakes these ppl play only Demos/ based Trial games ( betas ).

[b][i]"All this game has become is grinding."[/i][/b] Pretty much sums it up. IGN, of all places, nails it. There are so many things that could be said about how Destiny is collapsing in on itself, but really, when it comes down to it, Destiny is simply a reflection of Bungie at this point in time. More recycled enemies, more recycled environments. More hollow, empty promises of "story" and improving the game. The Dark Below is a testament to Bungie's dishonest and outright arrogant design philosophy. Whoever is running the ship at Bungie studios, you've run the game, Bungie's reputation, everything, into the ground. Destiny's lead writer for the supposed "Ten-Year Plan" [i]left,[/i] and you fired one of the most iconic audio directors and music composers (a man who had been with Bungie for [b]twenty years![/b]) in gaming. Apologists will defend you fervently (by the way, how is this new "loyal" community suiting you? You cast away the loyal fans you had for over a decade for people who believe vitriolic response is appropriate for anyone who disagrees with blind adoration and unwarranted praise), but you know as well as they do that your ship is sinking, and it is because of your own doing. [i]All of this could have been avoided.[/i] You started down a path, and now you are spiraling head-first in a nosedive. Your legacy was used to swindle your loyal fans, and now those same [i]people[/i] are turning their backs on you. The trust that sold Destiny will be rightfully absent at the release of Destiny 2. This isn't the Bungie that made Halo. I don't know what you are. I never would have imagined that I would be typing these words regarding Destiny or Bungie four months back.

Inb4 IGN's cashgrab of a review gives CoDAW's first 'map pack' (at pretty much the same price as Dark Below) hugely high scores, citing "fun gameplay" as basically the only good reason. IGN - along, unfortunately with a lot of other 'high-profile' review sites - are nothing but a way to buy 'good' reviews.

I watched the IGN vid and it's a fair review. I really like Destiny but one of the biggest flaws is not having match making for the daily, weekly, and raids. also, the game is just a grind fest with no story line or new characters/enemies to justify the grind. Grind, grind, and grind some more. Last, I feel for all the folks who put the time into completing the VOG. The weapons you earned there before the DLC are now under powered and worth less then vendor weapons.

Reads more like a +20 guardian tears forum post than an actual review. Isn't this the same website that frequently gives call of duty and assassins creed games excellent reviews?

I think if you people dedicated half the time to playing Destiny, or any other game, as you do bitching on the forums, you might actually enjoy gaming for once.
