Destiny... if you hate it, dislike it, or say it's a ripoff....

I can understand (but not to the level others do, I'm not them and wouldn't speak for them) why there are some COD players who are generalizing, and making comparisons between "Destiny" and "COD". I can only speculate what they are feeling that justifies their anger in their accusations. Destiny is a video game. This beta is a sample that just stands as a testament to the hard work and effort Bungie has put forth to provide the gaming industry with something above the standards of developers who launch broken or non functional products. Dice and it's ATROSTICIZING launches of broken Battlefailed titles, Trion Worlds and it's SEVENTY FOUR broken Defiance updates over a year later, and Aliens Colonoscopy Marinated Marines are all games meant to constipate consumers and taken advantage of them to the point where the developers like EA state we the consumers have accepted buying broken and non finished games, have become jaded at betas and developer pre-ordering. Because of Randy "B*tch" Turd (Gearbox), Lars Buttherder(Trion Worlds), and John "charge consumers a dollar to reload guns" Riccitiello from Electronic Arts the industry got harder to trust. Bungie has given the gaming industry what appears to be a very more than just average game. I'm greatful for the opportunity to test it, despite the Bungie account system failing to send me my beta keys. Titanfall fell short of providing a game of Destinys standards IMO by launching a game and providing an idea of genre changing magnitude if only to abandon it post launch and leave it as the bare bones minimum with nothing but a couple game modes and stock emblems based on TITANS... all three of them... For the next year. And that was it for Respawn. They'll map pack it. Titanfalls forums are like reading the obituaries of ideas that could have been, but died in its uterus in development. Destiny appears to take the magic of the trade port system of KOTOR, the better than vomititious guns of borderlands by replacing quantity with actual QUALITY of weapons, the landscape design of sandbox gameplay that you're not glitching through that gets ported to all platforms like Pat Bach and his horrendous Frostbite engine, and the cooperative gameplay a game has needed forever and beyond in this industry for a decade. If anyone states this game is a COD rip off, or copies other games, it's because the pedestals upon which those accusatory players have placed their favorite games dwarf in comparison to Destiny, and what it's offering from years of the industries mistakes, and successes. If you don't like the beta, if you don't like the game, if you TRUELY feel that the game you worship has been stolen from it's only because the game you are a fanboy of will now be forced to stand on it's tiny pedestal where you placed it so you could peek up its skirt... and Your game that will be standing on its pedestal below the mountain will now be forced to sniffle at the heels of and shed tears upon the shoes of a better game. A game that will define the beginning of a better generation. A game by developers with standards, quality, morals and ethics. It's called "Destiny". It proves more than 60fps doesn't matter. It proves the industry is capable of more than what lesser developers put out. If you don't like it.... It's because you can't comprehend quality when you've lived a life of everything less than that. See you at the Traveller. A gamer since 1983 on the AppleII and II+ computers.

    [quote]A game by developers with standards, quality, morals and ethics.[/quote]They did fire Marty you know. He wasnt only one of their best and most senior employees, he was co-owner of the company. And above all else, he was a fan favorite, a man who had captured the hearts, minds, and eardrums of countless gamers for years. His music alone has made the Detiny beta unforgetable, and I cant wait to here more of it in the final game. God speed you to your next job Marty! Im not gonna bring up the platform exclusive offers on a multi-plat game, but thats a bit, oh I dont know... COD like! :/ Other than that, I agree, though I do think your elevating it on your "pedestal" just a tad bit too much... What about games like Skyrim? It may lack co-op and fancy graphics (without mods) but I have still put hundreds of hours into that game, and will probably put many hundreds more into it in the years to come. It makes up for what it lacks with its rich lore, unlimited player prgression and choice, and a MASSIVE world to explore! Hell, Ill probably put a few dozen more into it after the Beta is over and Im bored again!
