Destiny changed how i see game reviews

i just wanted to say that because of destiny i am officially ignoring game reviews from now on. Yes many of the bad things pointed out by reviewers and players alike are very true(story,repetitive,voice acting,etc). But for me none of those things take away from the fact that attempting alien genocide with a handful of buddies is just so blamin fun! I love the cycle of kill,loot,back to town,reapeat. Iv never played a dungeon crawler(yep,thats what im calling it) that was such a joy gameplay wise(looking at u diablo 3!). So b4 i just keep rambling about why im so hooked on this game,ill just say that iv concluded that formerly trusted review houses dont have my interests and game sensibilities in mind when writing their reviews. Iv never held reviews as the primary factor when deciding to buy a game,but it was a consideration. But now after seeing the almost fervently angry reviews(gamespot,polygon,and escapist in particular) these people clearly are not in line with my interest and their opinions will get 0 consideration in my decision making process in the future.

  • I kind of liken it to WoW. How much content did that game have when it was released? How repetitive were those quests? Now look what its become. Even if you aren't a fan of WoW, it's safe to say that it is a huge success in the genre. I think people are looking at Destiny like it supposed to hit the ground running with as much content and playability as WoW has [u]now[/u]. I always look and see what reviewers have to say as well as other gamers. My buying decision isn't based on them, but just to see what kind of buzz is being generated. Both player and critical reviews for Destiny are pretty polarizing. I can see how they might find faults with some things about the game, but the negatives don't really effect me personally from enjoying the game. I enjoyed the beta and I'm enjoying the full release even more. From what I understand, reviewers don't really have a long time to review a game. They play it, review it and move on. Again, this is my understanding based on things I've read. A game like Destiny, to me, can't really be reviewed like a typical beginning, middle, end type of game. I think Destiny is a solid foundation to build upon. The game is barely over a week old and technically not even done as far as content goes, and even that will be ongoing. Regardless, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and don't typically post on forums. I think most of us who are enjoying Destiny for what it is and the possibilities of what's to come, are too busy playing it to bother posting about it! At the end of the day, it all comes down to if [u]you[/u] are enjoying it. If so, congrats! If not, sure, voice your opinion about it, then either wait until the game has more content, or sell/trade and move on, I guess.
