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 had no clue what to expect, only that there is Darkness and we must save the dying traveler as a Guardian. Once I finished the campaign, I was basically left in the same state as before I started, if not more confused and had so many questions to get answered. I decided that the story was weak and under-developed, maybe even over-hyped. However...... I have recently come to my senses and realized what Bungie did there. They plan to keep this going for 10 years to come, with content always being released and so on. Well, with a vague campaign such as the one they presented, what more but a perfect opportunity do they have to go ANYWHERE and do WHATEVER they wanted with the story. It adds such a depth of mystery and lore to the game that we don't even get to finished it within 6 hours. We get to explore, adventure and protect the City, grind gear, commit alien genocide and look completely badass doing it all, for the next 10 years. How does THAT not qualify as a great game? Bungie has so many different paths they can go down with the story and add on literally whatever they want to the skeleton they have right now, so that in 10 years, we have this phenomenal game with incredible lore, story, and gameplay. We get to experience this. We get to thrive here. We get to be curious. We get to be confused. We get to have questions slowly answered and watch puzzle pieces fall perfectly into place. We get to Become Legend.
