Bungie/Activision's Misleading Advertising, Plan To "Jump Ship" to Halo MCC

I'll take that Plan

Nah, I'll (Season) Pass

I've been looking back at the previous years leading up to Destiny, and if you look: it's shocking how mislead we (the community) were on just what the game was. I'll be referencing this ViDoc from Aug 22, 2013 [u](One single year before release)[/u]: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OjUWw43co&index=8&list=PLw2gyMFmq40oO00fgBLOsytpbUkNaNypj[/url] First off, the developers immediately say, "our #1 priority is to make a world that people want to be in." *sarcasm* That sounds like Destiny already!! They talk of[i] variety and exploration[/i] (neither are present in the final product), along with [b]SATURN[/b] (not in game at all). Joe Staten states that what people will really like is the social aspect of the game (you mean the Random Danceing and other mute gestures?) and the big world (that's actually pathetically small by comparison to any game, linear or open world!). Honestly, [b]Halo 1[/b] took me to larger, more varied, far more interesting locals, and that mostly took place on a single bloody Halo ring!! Character race is mentioned to have an impact on how you play. [spoiler]It doesn't[/spoiler] At around 2:44 into the video, we see a Guardians ship do a fly-by drop off (never seen in-game). Activities for every mood??? When is anyone in the mood to grind themselves to madness while praying to the RNGods for decent loot? All sweet loot drop effects, Bosses actually dropping loot, chests bursting with loot: [b]WHERE IS THIS?[/b] Picking your own path? Customization? Where did these go? Only RNGJesus does (and that notorious bastard DeeJ *cringe*). This is a sample of evidence for fraudulent advertising. They advertised a epic story, variety in modes, actual customization, and social aspects that are clearly not in the final product. My advice on what to do about this? I'll tell you in [u][i]four easy steps:[/i][/u] Step 1: Play Destiny to kill time for Halo release (Many already doing). Step 2:Trade in Destiny for Halo when it releases. Step 3: Pretend Destiny never happened (Remembering Bungie for the Halo games and every thing else they made). Step 4: Play Halo and be happy. :) That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it! I would suggest for maximum happiness and minimal agony that you follow this plan to the letter. [b]If you agree: vote so!![/b] Note: [spoiler]You can replace Step 1 with: "Play anything else but Destiny till Halo release."[/spoiler] Edit: PS players swap Halo for whatever PS game.
