This is continued from part 1 featuring numbers 10-4. You can find that article [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/195608358]right here[/url] [u][i][b]3.) Worst Forums Of All Time[/b][/i][/u] If I even need to explain this one. I think we're in trouble. Simply put, I have never been anywhere, except [i]MAYBE[/i] the b/side of 4chan, where people have been more violent, trolly, cancer-filled, hateful, segregated, discriminated, elitist, bashing, just all around self-destruction. Most, if not all active players rely on reddit and the official forums. I'd like to say reddit is actually safer, but even then, it's a stretch. This game is such a confusing waste of space, that the only way to keep up with it is to join the forums. Not only that, but there is no support line offered by bungie for destiny. You absolutely must use the help section to get answers, or other on-site automated features. You are forced against your will to use the forums if you want to be an up-to date player. There are no sub-communications or in-game affections. Not that it's always a bad thing ... but here it very much is. If the game does not kill your spirit to play this game, the forums will. And if they forums don't destroy your resolve, you're either worse than the savage trash that lingers here, or you're one of the very very few passionate and forgiving players that are still here. Mercy on your soul. [u][i][b]2.) Broken Promises Swept Under The Rug[/b][/i][/u] This is very hard to talk about. I had a hard time not placing this at number 1. Maybe I should change my mind before I post this. I don't know. "Eye of the Beholder" and all that. Anyhow, I am not personally a "day 1" or "alpha" or "beta" player. I've played Vanilla. I've been "forever 29" Maybe not as much as the rest of you, but there was a time when I played without any DLCs. I moved forward, contributed financially, and played the game. But there was a reason I came here when I did. Just as much as other who were in the Alpha, Beta, and Day 1. I can't even begin to count all the concept art I have seen from back in the day. Audio logs, video logs. Youtube videos, twitch streams. Live feed, beta shots. You name it. Destiny was shown and branded as this ultimate open world MMORPG experience on both a scale and platform that had never been done before. A pioneer and dawning franchise to ignite the way for all future genres that would come after it. Held up by the minds of Bungie that created the Halo Trilogy, one of the best games of all time, and at its conception was regarded as the greatest shooter to ever grace the universe. Waxing nostalgia aside, players came because of two things: The bungie grand name. The promoted content. And if you don't already know, everything you ever heard about this game before it launched was completely destroyed, broken down, revamped, rewritten, re-everthing. Founders left. Co-founders were fired. The entire game was scrapped. Everything you knew and loved before it came out in the years presiding was cast away. What you got when you finally bought the game was a different story. Foreign, alien, in a bad way. One of the biggest things I've seen in the media bashing this game is the lack of story, the lack of content, the failure of the studio to recognize the fan base, and all the cut and lost content that no one can find from the glory days of old. I'm legitimately sad as I type this, because I feel almost all of you can agree with me, that before we picked up this game, we believed it was going to be the forefront experience of our lives as pertained to FPS and MMO. I could not have set my personal bar higher for expectations on this game, which were entirely fed to me by the glorious jewels of advertisement and promotional material that to this day has not been recognized in this game. I'm sure some of us play this game out of addiction or false hope, but either way, either reason. Every time I think I can smile playing this game, I frown. Because I knew at one point, it was destined to be even better. And it probably never will be... [u][i][b]1. Blatant Lies and Rejection of the Player Base [/b][/i][/u] Now I'm not really sure if I agree this should be number one. But number two can be classified as a personal reason. So I'm going to close with this. If you got google, use it. I honestly don't have enough time to sift through two years of "proof" for you. I should, but I just can't right now, really upset. BungieVision might not be as financially manipulative as Electronic Arts; however... They are definitely the biggest liars and cheats I've ever known. From completely denying the restructure of the game until outed by their own employees and media. From debasing their game so much their own Founder left. From firing their own composer who have made music for them for nearly 20 years. For lying to our faces about cut content and hidden agendas. For blaming their founder for creating a "poorer/less visionary Destiny" For completely throwing out over 3 hours of cutscenes for the VANILLA DESTINY. For using said fired-composers work without paying him the rights to it. For losing [b]ALL OF THEIR COURT BATTLES TO DATE SINCE CREATING THE DESTINY FRANCHISE[/b] For being caught blatantly lying to their fan base on their official website no less than [u]FOUR TIMES[/u] in less than [i]TWO YEARS[/i] For only ever apologizing for one of those incidents, while mostly blaming it on the playerbase... For creating a forum where they constantly ask us for our help and opinions but ignore us anyway... For creating a wishlist that is governed by employee issued mods that has only ever had 1 thing actually make it into the game that we asked for... For constantly fighting the media and saying it is wrong about its "numbers" despite never providing real details... I can only say I could go on forever and ever about things they lie about and ignore us over. I honestly feel like a traitor to my own "gaming soul" for being a part of this experience because bungie and activision have to be the most dishonest and manipulative force in the gaming world I've ever seen. Electronic Arts is bad. But the BungieVision duo takes the cake. Hands down. There is [u]NO CONTEST[/u] More than anything, even all the other numbers listed not-withstanding... I just feel bad playing a BungieVision game. Of any title. I can't trust them. I can't believe them. They betray me at every corner. They make video games seem like politics and greed. Hell, it might be nowadays, business and what not. But you can't just "play the game" anymore. They take their real-life greed, real-life jealousy, real-life economy tactics. And they force it onto us via their game. So much grief and sorrow and hardship we foster towards the game and each other as players all at the lies and whims of a failing game and a failing company for whatever conceivable reason. Bottom line. After all is said and done. I feel like I'm playing a poorly made game, created by legitimately bad human beings. That transcends the fourth wall, and as a person, sometimes I purely hate this game because of what goes on behind closed doors. _____________________________________________________________________________ It's getting late where I live, and I feel I've rambled on for a long long time. My passion got the best of me, but I hope you enjoyed this "top 10" It's not official, and obviously my own opinion, but hopefully this incites something passionate in the rest of you... Or even a bungie employee... I know it took a toll on me. Peace. Live a happy life, and love yourself. Chelsea, out.
