IGN slams Destiny and TDB

http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/12/18/destiny-the-dark-below-review Hear that Deej, Bungie... That silence is the sound of shrinking market share. I can only assume investors are already jumping ship. If that happens, or is happening, what happens to that $500 mil budget dedicated to the Destiny franchise. I guess the angry voices do indeed outweigh the fandoys you were hoping could save a sinking ship. Edit: So I've sat back after posting this to watch the waters churn. I'm impressed with the feedback, but I'm not shocked this thread got a lot of attention, positive or negative. People can bash me, the article, or the game as much as they like...point is, I didn't post it to start an argument! I posted it more or less as PSA...in the hopes the attention this thread MIGHT receive gains the attention of someone we've ALL been longing to hear from. Keep the chatter"white" coming y'all.

    [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.
