First ever, never before, unprecedented!

Hello Everyone, I have been playing video games for a very long time. To give you an idea, I am 31 years old, and I have been playing video games for 29 years. The first games I ever played were made by Activision on the Atari console. Pitfall, and Robot Tank were a couple of my favorites. I have played Activision games throughout [i]my[/i] ages. I've seen some great games, and some okay games from Activision in that time. I have played Activision games on a myriad of consoles. I have also played Bungie games since the first Halo came out on the original Xbox console. Regardless of the greatness or catastrophe, I have never once commented on a forum. I have followed a few PC games on facebook because I enjoyed them, and wanted to keep up with them. I made a website dedicated to the tips, tricks, and glitches of Super Mario 64 when I was in highschool, for webpage design class. But this game has done it! I have never been so enraged! I have never felt so deceived, and cheated! Never have I seen such a "bait n' switch" on so many levels! And I've seen the horrors of ACU, the hacks of the battlefield saga, the repetition AKA C.O.D., the laziness of W.o.W. B.C. item design, The glitchiness of the Elder scrolls series, and even heard the tragic tale of Atari's E.T. Ect, ect, ect. I am aware that there is nothing in writing about what exactly this game is to deliver. I know there was a lot of hype around the game on what it was to deliver. There were even a few mildly enjoyable things about this game for a very short time when I first started playing it. But this is, in my eyes, unforgivable. I have literally, precisely, and exactly never been so emotionally marred by a game that I would write on a forum, and never have a written of my dismay. This game was heralded at it's creation, 180 Awards! The series has a ten year plan! And this is what we get! A halfbaked storyline, tons of content cut outs, semi sandbox, errored out, PVP governed, shirk fest. I paid less for Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragons Keep and got more content and gameplay value than I got for The Dark Below. With the lackluster story delivered, bugged out gameplay especially in area that people are going to want to frequent (Raids, strike zones, PVP maps), the RNG leaving people under equipped (always a bonus hearing people say over chat "everyone get your Icebreakers out" or "How many Gjallahorns do we have in the party?") Networking issues regardless of a pristine connection and console/game ports forwarded, content cuts (the trial of Kabre for example with a whole tunnel system left vacant, along with other places people have found by glitching through walls. Previous videos on gameplay.) And PVP nerfing galore. This game has created new swear words among myself and people I run with, like[i] "being Bungied,"[/i] and teaming up with Activision as a form of [i]"selling of ones soul."[/i] These are the kinds of things that I witness and hear from people [i]around the world![/i] With any amount of intelligence you can derive that the situation in which a soul is being sold in this instance is not a good thing. I don't speak for everyone, and I am very sorry to anyone this may offend. I really do make an honest and tremendous effort to keep it positive, along with relating the things I enjoy. Or at the very least, keep it to myself, and wait for brighter days in a ongoing development of a game. But this is [i]too much![/i] It really is. I will probably play this game, here and there, because I have already paid for the DLC to come, and all purchases are final. Only to try to get whatever shreds of content I purchased. But, [i]I will not[/i] purchase another game by Bungie, by Activision, and certainly not with both titles together on the same game. - Dekaida

    I'm sorry you feel this way, but you have over 21 days worth of game time across 3 characters. That 500+ hours. What more can you legitimately ask for? That's like eating your entire dinner and licking the plate clean, and then stating it was the worst meal you've ever eaten. Not the smartest way to lend credibility to your opinion.
