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.

18 Repliesplease. There's a laundry list of reasons why not to just outright trust reviews or follow them without question, but you people can't see honest complaints and criticisms. It's only because Bungie made this game and then you bought it that you are trying so hard to deny it all. Wanna know SOME of the reasons why Destiny scored bad? -Utterly garbage SP which was far too short (which is the biggest sin for this game, given all the promising lore of this world and Bungie's pedigree) -Bad voice acting -Lacking weapon variety -Lacking mission variety -No skill-based systems in place ANYWHERE -Enemies are all just bulletsponges -No private matchmaking options -3 player parties are too limiting -No game chat or communicate with players outside of your party using in-game features aside from basic gestures. Literally the biggest defenses for this game right now are "it's an MMO" (no it isn't) "all of the X isn't done yet. Wait for Bungie to release MOAR!" (it's ok that they sold us an unfinished game for $60+ because they'll finish it later?) "you're not supposed to get everything right away. this makes things better". clearly it doesn't. it's an artificial ceiling and its not helping to say no matter how good you do in PVP, the worst player can get the best gear and you might not get anything. it doesn't help to have to spend hours already trying to RNG gear only to have it be further RNGed and be worse items/equipment than you have. no reason to work to achieve ANYTHING in this game. It's all just an artificial ceiling. Who cares if people could hit max rank and get the best gear far faster? They'd have EARNED it. And if the grind towards getting all of that is the ONLY reason t o keep playing the game, it's obvious you didn't put enough into it to make people want to play for the experience itself. Bungie spent 6 years and 500 million on a game with far too little content and far too little variety. Yes, we overhyped it, but there was definitely an acceptable standard to expect and they failed to even reach that. The game works mechanically, but that's about all it has going for it. Go ahead and troll with more lame remarks about how I'm wrong without giving any valid counterpoints or saying I should just not play the game then as if further wasting my money spent would be a logical answer.
