Getting what we paid for.

Fair warning to all the people complaining about cut content, this isn't going where you think it is. First, I want you to look at your Destiny play time. Go ahead, I'll wait. No really, go. Done? Great. Now I want you to think about that number compared to any other FPS or Action Adventure game you've ever played. This game already has WAY more content than most like it and some of that content is being added for free later (Raids). The problem here is that everyone wants to see this game as the next Halo or CoD where you buy the game and then maybe some new maps later. This game is a moving experience. It's on a schedule. If you've played MMO's before you're probably already settled in. For some content pieces I understand your discontent, Queens Wrath is a little lackluster. However, the game has only been out for 3 weeks. If you picked apart MMO's that quick you'd be hailed as an idiot. As it stands, this game isn't exactly an MMO, but has many of its features. It is a game designed for grinding, and that's not for everyone. Above all, this game is NOT Halo and can't be treated as such.

  • I've put in about 95 hours at this point which I would have to agree is worth the $60 I paid for the game, but not worth me having bought a PS4 primarily for this game (not that I don't plan to use it for other things). However, this amount of play time doesn't even come close to the amount of time I have put into some MMOs or even single player RPGs like Oblivion and Skyrim. I really do want this game to succeed. I have enjoyed many aspects of it, but it needs a lot of work if it is going to last. If things don't drastically improve over the next few months, then this game will never make the proposed 10 year lifespan. Seeing the obviously cut content is somewhat upsetting, especially if it's going to be part of a paid DLC. I hope it's free content that they plan on adding over time on the way to the expansion, but I feel like that won't be the case. This game could have been so much more, so it's easy to see why so many people are unhappy with the game. Especially after what was advertised to us. As the game stands, it is nothing more than a foundation for what may become a great lasting game or could end up a horrible failure (not in terms of profit that is).
