Deej: The truth, critical thinking, and final argument.

I have watched this video in its entirety. I realize it is long, but unlike pro Destiny/Activision rhetoric, the truth is a little more complex, and you not taking the time to understand what is going on is what they are counting on. What we have here is the ultimate anti-fanboi argument. Contained in this video is every thing we critical thinkers have been trying to express, only to be freight trained by the deluded masses. The masses: those of us who have successfully been indoctrinated by the [b]Lord of Profiteering[/b]: Activision. Why do people persist in defending what has taken place here? It could simply be lack of intelligence or the ability to critically think, but more likely it is pride: The fanboi ego cannot admit to the truths in this video, it has gone too far for him, in his mind there is no way back. Humility is not a word in his vernacular. In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we are brainwashed via corporately owned news outlets (see: Fox News, any Murdoch newspaper) to blame each other for the situation instead of looking at those in power, those with the wealth controlling every thing. Profit is increasingly becoming a dirty word. Or at least it should be. To all the nay sayers, i give you this: You have been conditioned to disagree with the rhetoric you see here. They have achieved this because they are smarter than you. Swallow your pride and open your mind. It is time to become a critical thinker, not just a consumer, with 2D personality. For a better understanding of how corporations have become so powerful Government cannot control them, and how they are shafting us in every market we participate in, i recommend a Youtube channel called "The Trews" by a critical thinker called Russel Brand (previously a comedian). Profit has now fully infected the games market, that is why $500 million buys us a gutted husk of a game such as Destiny, Watchdogs, Titanfall and others. To Deej i say (as he is apparently reading all this): please let your bosses know that we [i]know[/i] what occurred here. [b]EDIT 1:[/b] To those saying i jumped on some sort of bandwagon with this video, here i link my previous thread, some weeks old, in which i make a weak effort in tackling this subject: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71096924/0/0 [b]EDIT 2:[/b] It's a tough challenge, trying to protect people who fight to defend the system hurting them. [b]EDIT 3: [/b]All big business is owned by the 1%. And thusly they don't care where you spend your money, as long as you do. The power of consumer choice is a lie. Pick up your Destiny box and read the back, it literally says "rich cinematic story telling". Can you see the problem there? [b]EDIT 4:[/b] Best insult received: "Also, I find your username hilariously perfect. Do you refer to your house as "The Superiority Complex"?" lel [b]Final Edit:[/b] I have just read the details of The Dark Below, and it will not fix the inherent failures of this game. They are pushing forward with this hacked up iteration of Destiny. They sold us one game, delivered another, and for better or for worse this is it now. It is a game aimed at the 12yr olds, the CoD generation, and I am out. I will boost friends in the raid only until I can trade this in for GTA V. See you Manhattan-side for The Divison, Guardians!

  • That "video" needs to be stripped from existence, and the person who made it, burned at the stake. Harsh and direct, yes, but the level of stupidity I got from that video was just a direct insult to game developers in general. I would love to see that guy try to sit down and try to make a better game than Destiny. He'd never do it in his lifetime, so to sit there and to constantly bash and hit at Bungie for this game that would take most developers years to make for us, is simply stupid. So they removed content from the game, so the story changed, big freaking deal, that happens quite a bit in game design. Destiny is just a massive game, and they left the content on the disk for you as placeholders for upcoming DLC packs, look at games like WoW, they do this for every single expansion they make, and do you see people bitching about it? No, this is only a shot at Bungie because this is the first time they've attempted a game like this and you're not used to seeing something from Bungie like content stored on the game as placeholder templates. If you have actually gotten into these supposed "disk locked" areas, you'd notice quite a few glitches, or things that don't work, and even some template art, IE: it's not the finished product or near the finished product in any way or form. So yes, you did "Jump the bandwagon" of that video, and shame on you for doing so, I'd expect someone with over 11d (264 hr) or playtime to be smarter than that. Please go back to the many other threads on the topic until you find the diagram on the development lifecycle of a game. You'll see that DLC work begins before the launch of the game, so therefore there was time to fit the placeholder work for the first two packs on the disk way before the game was even finished, which is why some of the areas were accessible in the alpha/beta. The game itself had been completed aside from fine tuning and other things, and development on the content expansions had begun. Most people enjoy this game, and find the experience to be something new and exciting. You apparently have found the same luster with the amount of time you've put into the game. So just because some idiot has a bone to pick with Bungie because of some wild speculated nonsense that they've come up with, doesn't mean you should even think of spreading it here, and I'm thankful that a large amount of people who actually wasted 30 minutes of their life on that bull actually agreed with me with the negativity towards that video.
