Let's all face facts so that we can strengthen our community
1. Exclusivity sucks balls
2. PS4 is slightly better than Xbox one, but barely
3. Sony is slightly better than Microsoft, but has the exact same goal: make profit
4. Xbox live is slightly better than PSN, but barely
5. The exploration areas in Destiny aren't as big as we all hoped, but Bungie still says that this is the biggest game they've ever made, and 500 people have been working on it daily, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions till we experience the real deal for ourselves.
6. Just because you disagree with someone, doesn't mean you should disrespect them. Start a discussion with condescension, and its no longer a discussion. In an argument, both you and the other guy think you're right, and so you should judge the other person with that in mind. If they're being calm and respectful and you're being rude and malicious, then it doesn't matter if you're right or not, you still look like a dick.
7. Trolls are a part of life, learn to recognise them.
8. That person you just tore to shreds on the forum could genuinely be a well-meaning 11 year old. I'm not saying you should censor your opinion, but just remind yourself every now and then that there actually are vulnerable little kids on these forums.
9. People are entitled to their opinion about Destiny. Somebody has had an experience, and you can't change that experience. If someone 'just doesn't like it', then you could write a whole series of books about why you disagree, and it wouldn't change a thing about the experience they had. You can disagree with their reasoning, but you can't change their experience.
10. Nobody's perfect (least of all me), but if we treat people harshly then they'll never change. Studies have shown that an attack on our beliefs, triggers the same response in the brain as a physical attack. We get defensive, even if we are proven wrong, and especially if we've been treated with vitriol or condescension. Give people a chance to admit their wrongs, and don't be so hasty to use insults and inflammatory language. This is what drives people apart in a place that's meant to bring people together.
Be brave, be the change.

Thank you for this post, man. Hopefully it remains a top read for a while. People need to understand these things.

Going to try to avoid reading a lot of the comments bickering over the first four. There's no calming down the fanboys, and I say that with no other comprehensive terms that don't also come off as rather insulting. Those are probably the most sensible ways to address the console differences, and the fact that those sparked any sort of metaphorical shouting matches only seems to prove the lack of perspective that people seem to have. I only have so much give a crap for petty discussions that never go anyway. In the mean time, well said. It's not often that one can wander through the #Destiny forums and find something either reasonable, level headed, or helpful. I've been avoiding it as of late, but I'm glad that there's at least a few others out there who still decide to act like adults and actually treat others with respect. I doth my cap to you.

2 RepliesEdited by Sam12Ash: 8/24/2014 5:41:37 PMYou're barking up the wrong tree - this community is ruined beyond repair. Too much down time between the beta and release for people to handle. Trolling and general nonsense is at an all time high.

1 ReplyEdited by Commander Tempu: 8/24/2014 5:10:02 PMComputers are better than All consoles. Sadly when Marty left it was like the Olympic torch going out. My Excitement died for this game long ago. I am not going to even repair my 360 and get a Gaming Computer. I might spend the rest of the money intended for Destiny but i have yet to decide. Bungie has yet to give me good reason to spend my hard earned cash on a game that Marty or Joe will not see down the line nor will they be apart of the collaboration process. So i am not going to choose X-box over Sony. Computers are superior and Pc is the future. I will repair my X-box 360 at some point just not a big deal as i have zero motivation to get Destiny nor fix it so i can. Bungie bans people for speaking there minds. -Cobra Commander.

Got a Ps1. Never looked back. Why does no one mention the visualizer? Like when you play music on the device. The Ps1 visualizer is bloody awesome. Too bad I can't get it to display in hd...

you are so right. the world needs more people like you to tell communities about this. you just opened my eyes to how people think. thanks :)

Everyone recognize bitches! Lmao

To long, read did not I.

We could all just agree that none of those points matter one way or the other. Let's just all agree to enjoy the game when it comes out and take naps until then.

well its nice to see people trying to make a difference

#6 and #9 are the biggest ones people need to remember around here. #7 is also quite handy.

Well put. Glad to see others taking the logical approach and actually understanding that the console performance differences are relatively small in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for the PSA bro. Won't change anything though.
