This Place Really Sucks
Funnily enough, I actually enjoy [i]Destiny[/i]. Sure, it's a considerably castrated version of what I was promised, but with my 360 WIA and no other good shooters for my XBox One, plus my yearning to return to [i]World of Warcraft[/i], it's a pretty nifty way to kill time. But, as in any videogame I play, I want to explore and accomplish as much as I can, which means I need a fireteam. And where's the [i]only[/i] place to find one? Here, in this Desticle-ridden shithole forum.
Don't tell me "#Destiny," either; I'm not looking to blindly praise the game or shove some generic clan down your throats, and frankly, it'll just get buried under [i]muh klanz[/i] threads anyway. That first bit was just the first part of this minirant, and it needed bitching about anyway I'm just lamenting about how Bungie... well, how they turned out. How they promised greatness and disappointed millions; how they've let their forums deteriorate; how they've cast aside so much of what made us love them; how they're so willing to disregard their older, faithful community for a newer, considerably inferior fanbase of kiddies, losers, and Sony fanboys.
Six long years here, and I've seem some shit. Ugly shit. But this is easily the worst I've ever seen of both the company and the community. It's anarchic. It's like watching my favorite restaurant burn down while vegans piss and dance all over it, and I'm helpless to do anything about it.
Should I leave? Should I stay and wait to see if things improve? I don't know anymore. Bungie used to be a tremendous part of my childhood, which was probably the case for several of you as well, but they're not what they used to be anymore. They're generic, they're lazy, and now that they've sold their souls to Antivision, any potential redemption is probably gonna come in $5-$15 bundles and, in all likelihood, disappoint further.
TL;DR
I'm sad.

1 ReplyI still say BNet is a fabulous forum for video games. There are still cool, intelligent, funny, thoughtful people. You can still laugh and learn here. The question is: Can BNet remain great now that it represents a mediocre video game by a now-widely-hated developer, as opposed to a landmark video game by a then-universally-loved developer?

Edited by BloodRaven52455: 9/27/2014 7:40:54 PMThis game isn't even average, it's below average. The only reason it's below average and not total shit is the actual gun play mechanics and graphics. Everything else about this game is a total and utter let down. The only reason I played this game recently was for 'the loot cave', that's literally it, id rather play Peggle 2 than this. I agree with you on everything else 110% Edit: also, I'm pretty sure Shitivision probably intervened in the development of this game, hampering some things bungie probably really tried to make.

7 RepliesEssentially what I learned after posting here for two years is this: This place isn't worth the hours of sleep you lose No one really appreciates thoughtful content unless you're popular Lulz enable you to get away with some shit when the mods aren't hammer-happy. Actually, you might just want to leave. You could be doing science, or something.

5 RepliesI'm basically in the same spot as you. The game is average, linear, lackluster, and worst of all, not what they promised yet its still keeps me in. Had they created what they said they would, this would be one of the best games of all time. Regardless I play often on the 360 and will be on tomorrow.
