when did gamers become a bunch of babies?
When I was a kid I played through Super Mario 3 on original NES for months on end trying to complete the entire game without dying once, not because I got an achievement, not because I got a shiny new gun, not because I wanted to flex my E-peen on the internet (the internet didn't exist), but because I liked the game and liked the challenge even more.
It seems like there is never a good game anymore in the eyes of the gaming community because it's always going to be either too hard or too easy, and in this case it's both. Destiny is as hard, and as rewarding as you want it to be.
If you only want to beat the campaign once and call it quits, good for you; go away and don't post it on the forums because nobody cares.
If you are pissed because you don't have all purples yet, go google how to get purples and put more effort into it.
If "X" game is better than Destiny because of "A", "B", and "C"; that's great, go play that game and stop wasting your time complaining about a game millions of people are playing and enjoying.

10 RepliesThe true holy grail of gaming for our generation was during the days when Halo 2 was at its largest. Xbox Live was still something revolutionary, and it was an amazing time. Every game was filled with well-mannered but competitive gamers united with a common love. And the custom games! Oh my god, the best memories come from there. Tower of Power, Zombies, Super Jumps, Mike Myers, Tremors, the list is endless. I spent so long on Campaign getting all the skulls and beating the game on Legendary. Halo 2 beat my ass with a stick for hours on end while I watching Plasma Rifles and Sentinel Beams burn my body again and again. I'm sure many of us spent days at a time playing Pokemon endlessly. It wasn't to show off on the Internet or anything. We did it because it was fun and it was a huge challenge completing the Pokedex along with everything else in the games. Then Xbox Live became mainstream and the younger kids who don't know better told their parents to get it for Christmas. Slowly, we watched the community die as games like Call of Duty became more and more popular. Game developers were too lenient and now we are screwed. Lets not forget who created Halo. It wa Bungie. And now they made another masterpiece for us. There is no pay-to-play model, no micro transactions. We get free updates and other things. Look at this game, for gods sake! It's beautiful and there is so much potential! It is week 2 and people are complaining so much about this work of art. I hate IGN and other reviewers with a passion. These bastards give Call of Duty a 10/10 every year or something like that, praising the game for its innovation and compelling features. The multiplayer has been copied since 2009 with no real development. Next thing. A child wouldn't be allowed to go into a casino, an 18-rated film in the movies, buy a knife, buy a gun, buy alcohol etc etc. yet it is so easy to acquire a video game. I know that parents can buy them, but that is no different to supplying a 10 with alcohol. I think we need tougher laws in place. But to sum up, I agree. No one cares for working hard for the sake of doing it. There was a time without achievements and multiplayer.
