Everytime I read a weekly update, they just reinforce in my mind, that the developers and community, live in completely different worlds.

Here's my best effort at summing up how I feel about it all, c&p'd from another post; [quote]You're right, but I fear nothing will ever be done. Maybe not in even the second game. Why do they need to add story or depth? They've trained us to accept the minimum and not only tolerate it, but repeatedly play it as though it's something remarkable; a 10/10 experience. What [i]is[/i] remarkable is that with this game we enter a new low for gamers: a new era. Quality is no longer necessary. Value for money is no longer necessary. Think of the possibilities. A future of gaming where anything can be rolled out, and, with all efforts diverted to hype instead of quality, we can be made to adore any addicting generic garbage. The guns in this game are Moshi Monsters for adults. The most swingeing creative economy imaginable is employed, to make you truly grateful for Future Machine Gun V4856 -- not just a stats bump, but a fancy skin on that basic model too! Wow! Ask yourself: "When was the last time I heard a villain [i]say[/i] anything?" Does Crota - that fabulous legend of a villain / piece of furniture- say [i]anything[/i] to qualify him as evil? Atheon? Anyone? What exactly marks these guys out as evil? Are you sure they aren't simply just defending themselves? This game is a towering triumph over so many accomplishments of gaming that preceded it. Ico, Tomb Raider, Half Life, Resident Evil 1 - 4, Metal Gears... the list is endless. For all their quality, this thing has won out over them. There's no need for storytelling anymore, or variety, or reliability even. Hell, they can take away the things we [i]do[/i] like back out again, and we'll beat our brows but accept. A HD makeover of Unreal Tournament is, apparently, the apex of gaming. The results speak for themselves.[/quote]

I find it a bit insulting that they start this "team building event" after a two week "vacation" after breaking the game further with the "cheese fixing."

I initially thought the weekly updates were going to be the patch cycle or queens wrath/IB events like many other games.... then i found out they are newsletters full of propaganda.

I'm sure the number of coins spent when he sells gally again will be triple that of IB. I already know I'm buying 3 of them so I don't have to swap between characters.

Fluffdates...

I feel your aggravation. It really wouldn't take that much to make this game LOADS better but they focus on cheesing and... not sure what else they spend time on. Maybe the DLC or D2, who knows. The hours I've played shows I like it, what it doesn't show is the amount of time I'm bored...

Deej has admitted the weekly update was useless and his job was useless back in early October. Actually his made at least three allusions to his job being useless since before TDB dropped. Honestly I think he's trying to get fired. Why else would he admit to being useless, log more hours posting in other forums rather than his own company's forum, and provide the world's most out of touch weekly updates?

It's called a "fluffdate" and sadly I doubt they will change. They are a lame effort to try and foster a sense of community in a mostly discouraged and growingly resentful fanbase. Sadly the powers that be at Bungie don't seem to realize that these fluffdates really only serve to increase the resentment a lot of us feel.

Bungie has always been tight lipped about what is upcoming. But then again, they never put out a game a sorry as this one. Bungie used to be known for the polish that their games had upon release. They really did not have to fix much because people were happy. I am not sure what went wrong with Destiny, but it is lacking in every aspect that I thought would be there. Smaller multiplayer with fewer vehicles. Uninteresting weapons. Magic weapons.....supers and grenades. (Funny how you can "create" a Sparrow out of thin air whenever you want to, but it takes a grenade forever to restore itself.) The sad thing is that we can all see what could have been and now realize that we will have to pay alot extra just to put cannons on our Sparrows. So far the mighty have fallen to push this mess out upon loyal fans.

I appreciate the updates as opposed to the 7yrs of waiting i had to do to get substantial info on FF 15. Granted... It may be a more subtle update weekly but at least they give me reasons to use this app. I read kotaku a lot soju get info there also and from other sources , and I use this app for a lot of other things,... But I appreciate it at least they make an effort to let the community know things
