"There are a lot of flaws, but it's still fun" gets my vote. I've been trying to support Destiny and Bungie with money and good word of mouth since I heard about it. I've even been trying to encourage people to trust Bungie. [u]Admittedly, it's harder and harder everyday.[/u] Bungie keeps up a shroud that makes any decision to support them an exercise in faith. I can't reasonably keep encouraging people to trust them when they ignore so many concerns of the community. And don't address the doubts that people have. Perhaps they're handling it in the best way possible. Perhaps not. For now... all I can do is to trust them; and for now I do. They haven't done anything to outright ruin my faith. If they flop this game and community, then they have one chance to keep my trust by addressing it and proving their competence in their next project. But I still trust that they will listen to the community, and support this game for years to come. [b]The core of the game is excellent. All the mechanics are solid, and the systems are well designed. But they need a lot of adjustments.[/b] [u]And my main complaint is the lack of content.[/u] A lot of people say that those of us complaining about content are something akin to "no-lifes". And frankly, per some peoples values, I and others probably are. But regardless of anyones values, the "no-lifes" are the key to the long term success of Destiny.[u] Bungie needs people that get on every day; that grind out the best gear; that are the first to find and report bugs; and to help balance out the systems. And most importantly, to populate the game world; and to be the bad-donkeys that they want the rest of the community to aspire to.[/u] I've logged a bunch of hours in this game. And loved every one of them! Each hour was filled with fun, solid gameplay. I've got around 80 hours. Problem is... I'm the type who usually gets hundreds. CoD: WaW- 24 days of play time. Terraria- 800 hours Minecraft- thousands of hours Battlefield BC 2- 800 hours Guitar Hero- hundreds of hours Skyrim- 700 hours Halo Series- thousands of hours and countless other games, of all genres, with similar play times. So if I'm only getting 70 hours out of Destiny at launch... that doesn't bode well for the length of time the average Joe will want to put into it. [b]But I trust Bungie not to let me down. I trust Bungie to satiate my hunger for their unique style of games. And to make me another fantastic franchise.[/b] Fingers crossed they don't -BLAM!- up. XD
