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.

  • Im sorry man but the reviewers are right. The mechanics of the game are sound and shooting aliens is fun but its super shallow for a next gen, half billion dollar game. A big world with very little to discover or explore and no story to get lost in. Mass effect, borderlands, bioshock even dishonored. have these in spades. Gta is also better. Less refined graphics, less money spent, much better games. The fun of destiny is at a high level with friends but most gamers arent looking for that. People dont want to grind for 20 hours and then have it be fun and the majority of gamers want immersive single player adventure. Look at whats coming out. Shadow of mordor, sherlock holmes, dragon age, the evil within and assassins creed. All these will look to make their bones by telling interesting, immersive stories.
