I'm with you MastaSin. I've seen you around since before Reach and even before I made my BNet account. We were at similar levels of enthusiasm and hype, and I just couldn't agree with Joe's review more except for his final rating. Minus the hype, because of how polished the gameplay is, I think a 7/10 would have been more appropriate, but given the hype and given what we were promised, which technically /shouldn't/ be part of the evaluation, 6/10 is more understandable. Though today, with the queen's wrath bounties unlocked, he does appear to be wrong about the queen only being there to promote DLC - this may end up being the case, but it does put a nick in what was previously a completely solid evaluation. See what I mean? It kind of makes me doubt the doubt that I have about this game. I will continue to word-of-mouth tell people that if they want a really fun FPS action game that they will like the gameplay, but not to expect much in the way of stories at all, and I will certainly not advise them to play the campaign all at once in one sitting - me doing the "Explore" missions on various planets and collecting bounties in between campaign levels did help insulate me from the repetitiveness of the campaign missions. and I must note that his ending was spot-on. Corporate Commander needs to get their blam-ing hands off of blam-ing Destiny or so help me I'll blam this blam-ing blam into Activisions mother's blam if they destroy Bungie's reputation because of some blam grab for money by using Bungie's name. Which they already sort of have done.
