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.

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said. I can see Destiny's flaws as clearly as anyone else. All I know is that it hooked me bad. I've spent every free moment since the game came out playing. I'm having more fun with Destiny than any game I've played in recent memory. That counts for more than anything else IMO. If I compare the score Destiny got on gamespot with other games I've played that they gave much higher scores to, I find that I'd rather play Destiny than pretty much any of them. What does that mean? In my case it means that Gamespot was flat out wrong. Gaming is so subjective though. I can't say that other people who don't like the game don't have a point, but why can't they see what I see in it? They count things against Destiny that I initially was miffed about as well, but have since faded into the background as I really get into the meat of the game. It's really all about character advancement and playing a shooter that is so tight and elegantly constructed that every moment is a joy. The game has flaws, but they are outweighed by the overall experience to such an extent that the games still shines in my opinion.
