The key difference here tho is Gearbox made it very clear what we were buying before we bought borderlands. They advertised a set game and then they launched Borderlands exactly as they had advertised it.
Bungie on the other hand advertised a completely different game then the Destiny that launched. Even more ironically the main focal point of there advertising was the story. They purposely made it sound like the story was one of the greatest ever. This was there main marketing point. They also advertised countless other things that weren't in or weren't true to the game they launched.
Gearbox knew the story for Borderlands 1 was crap and they never lied otherwise about it. If you look at there trailers you can see the word story isn't even used once.
The difference here is people got what they payed for with Borderlands. Most who bought Destiny payed for the game that was advertised and not the game that launched. I'm one of them. I flushed 90 dollars on the Digital Collectors Edition and i haven't logged on since the day the Dark Below dropped and i will not be bothering to log on for the House Of Wolves.

Then why are you still here on the companion? Delete it trade game in and carry on gaming
-
it was deleted long ago. You know a place that lets you trade in Digital copies. I would love for you to share said place so i can try to get some of my money back.

Ok fair doos but why use the companion app? Surely that should have gone too by now
-
I don't know what app your talking about. I'm on a desktop.

I think you know what he means, why are you still lingering on the forum?

Eh, Not totally sure now days. I think on the inside i want Destiny to be great but i'm bitter that it's not. Or to be more detailed I want to love Destiny but i know that it's Pointless because Destiny would have actually been awesome if Bungie hadn't been forced to spend the last year of Destiny's development cutting out content. Destiny is just a disposable means to our money to Activision so there will never be a time that Destiny will reach what it should be without either requiring a absurdly unjustified cost or a different publisher getting control of it. But more likely then not it will eventually not be profitable anymore and they will throw it in the trash without hesitation laughing at how much money it made them before it burnt out.

I want the game i be great. I like it how it is by itself, but I really hope they bring it up to what was originally envisioned. This release will be a good learning experience for bungie, so there is promise in a continuation.
