Delay does not equal more polish

You are fooling yourself if you think a delay means more time to polish the game. The game is being pushed back for marketing purposes ONLY - not to have more development time. Activision is clearly afraid of Titanfall and the various other A+ titles that will be released in the Spring. Destiny had a chance to lead the way but now it will simply be late to the party. And when does the next piece of crap COD game come out - Nov most likely. Nice faith in your product Activision.

    • I don't see how their afraid of Titan fall. That game will be another awkward attempt to cash in on Call of duty type FPS popularity . I can see how bored people will be with game already and how some children and small minded people will sing its praises just to excuse themselves from being embarrassed from buying a boring ass mess. I know Titan fall will fall short . There is still the same " campaign and multiplayer " feel coming from the same game company over and over again. -blam!-ing repetitive.

    • Of course! Bungie, the developers of Destiny who have been in the industry since 1991 and have created the massive franchise Halo, are so goddamn incompetent and inexperienced that they're not going to bother trying to give us the best experience possible by improving the game as much as they can. I should be listening to a random guy on the Internet who clearly knows the inner workings of Bungie so well that he's sure we're being 'deluded'! I love you man, I never knew how stupid I was! /s

        Is it me or is every new Bungie member feeling like the are entitled at every point and time. Right apparently Bungie has never polished a game nor taken the time to get things set straight while doing it. It was apparent that even in pre Alpha Destiny looked better then some games did at finish. I for one understand that it could look even better. Actually its a smart move since Activision is going to make a ton of money. Ghosts will be around a bit longer so your point about COD is invalid. Gives Bungie more time to woo new markets and i am hoping at some point revisit old markets. Some of the best things in life are like fine whisky. Aged then brewed, Not to mention marketed. Not to mention consumed. Destiny will be just that learn to have patience Op. Some things should not be rushed. All good things come to people who wait. Bungie has never let us down. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

        Your theory is no more or less an assumption than those who think they're polishing the game.

        • While your title and original reasoning makes sense. Saying Activision is afraid, makes you sound like a troll

            • I agree with OP. Activision may be scared of the other new games coming out like Titanfall. Destiny and Titanfall were talked about as the beginning of the end for COD. Maybe they pushed it back so if COD goes down they will still have that near November game release with all the other huge titles. Destiny is a 10 year investment for them. They want the time to market and make sure the 1st game goes well and is a good start for the next 3 games and 4 large expansion packs. That being said I don't believe it will be more polished coming out later. I don't think they will be doing nothing in the extra months, just that they have been delayed and need those extra months. They're not adding more to the game. They're just taking longer to deliver the same game they promised us.

              • You are correct a delay does not mean it will be well polished game. But it's Bungie I have faith that the more time they have the better the final version will be. Are the afraid of Titan fall. Why would they be afraid of a game that's only exclusive to MS and PC where Destiny is 360,PS3, PS4 and Xbox plus it's too different genres. plus halo3 and reach had a summer beta with a fall release so it only makes sense to follow suit with Destiny

              • So the extra 3 months they have are gonna be spent not even looking at the game right. Seems legit, people also forget that sept. 9th is technically summer still. Just the absolute end of summer.

                • Bungie is adding new people to its team and crunching each and every day from the sounds of things. The updates make it seem like Destiny has some of the most fast paced development out of any title I've seen. Be it for marketing purposes or development needs, a September launch is basically the spearhead of the Q4 game lineup next year. A summer beta fits snugly between the launch of other big name titles and the launch of Destiny itself, giving a good timeline for players throughout the "summer drought" all the way to the holiday season when the next big wave of games hits.

                  • Or your opinions could be incorrect. I doubt there is any single reason for changing the time table at this point. I am sure that competition has been factored in some point, however [quote]You are fooling yourself if you think a delay means the game is being pushed back for marketing purposes ONLY - not to have more development time.[/quote]

                  • I faith in Bungie, but I can see your argument based on the merits of Gearbox taking years to develop Aliens Colonial Marines as something gamers should be wary of with developers. It was pretty crappy in the end result.

                    • Let's assume you are correct about the reason the game got delayed, on what planet does that not equal more polish? Is the studio just going to shut down for 3 months and stop working on the game? If you honestly think that, then you are an idiot.

                    • Obviously the release of other games is important to determine the best window to launch the game but its not like they're going to sit on their ass just because the game was pushed back. Or maybe they really do need more time. You don't know.

                      • So basically you're saying for the months between March and September, nobody at Bungie is going to show up for work because they're done and they're just going to let it sit there. ... Not very bright, are ya?
