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.

You, sir, or miss, have already become legend in my eyes! If only the powers that be understood this, we wouldnt be bombing, shooting & murdering each other... Maximum humanity points to you! This worlds big enough for everyone.

This post is actually legit. Like this guy is intelligent. I agree on everything that he has said as each comment he makes is based upon logic and understanding. He indeeds follows his own advice and doesn't just fanboy out everything he says. And I have told ppl about how they should approach an argument, and this guy and myself see eye to eye. Awesome post
-
I honestly agree with everything that the OP said. Very well put sir.

-
Best thread I've ever seen. Agree 100%.

Well put friend.

As a Sony user I have to ask, what makes xbox live better then the psn? As far as i know xbox live has always fallen short compaired to the psn. The psn is free while xbox live is 60 dollars a year. While if you decide to get the PlaySataion Plus, which is similar to xbox live, you get 18 games a year for free, as well as cloud storage for your game saves, auto updates for all games and firmware for consoles, and a few other add ons that slip my mind at the moment. I personally have never been an xbox fan, mostly because the games i wanted to play were Sony Exclusives like Heavy Rain, and M.A.G, and every other game i play was on both consoles.

These indisputable truths will bind all but those who are in denial or delusional. May the travelers wisdom continue to guide you and may it also reach the sad few in denial of truth.

DeeJ said something in the 2old2play video that really stuck out to me. It was something along the lines of if you met anyone here at a party and discovered you both play destiny, you would become instant friends so there is no need to be so negative towards everyone in a place (here) where everyone is interested in the same thing you are.
-
I have but one question and this is meant to be no way rude but how is xbox live better then psn?

And don't forget that the methods & metrics of a study can be questionable, which may make it invalid. But: Seriously glad to see someone speak about this here :]

Edited by OnyxPlain: 8/24/2014 2:45:31 AM^^ This is for you. 10/10 Best post ever. Clears up all arguments. Most of these points have been argued too much. All of this is true, people need to get this through their skulls.

Fact 11. All hail the purple ball

Wait... #7 was about the trolls. I see what you did there.
-
They're hoping to increase the size of the playable areas later on.
-
The last part is beautiful
-
I love this
-
I agree and think the forums are finally coming around. biggest problem i think was people not recognizing the trolls and flame wars spreading like wildfire. Perhaps the worst is over
-
It's all true. However this is the internet. Stop trying to be a decent, normal human being and just flame people and troll. It's why it was made. That and porn.
-
I am so happy that some one has finally brought this issue to attention people are very cruel on the forums and I believe that you sir are 100% correct with all of the points above. Thank you good man Thank you. PS that was actually sincere.
-
I've never been a fan of these hippy, blow-your-own-trumpet threads; but I gotta admit, this was well said! And not too hippy'ish! These forums have reminded me of irc, in a way. Had some excellent debates (which I've mostly lost), that made me wish we could get together for a poker night, and solve the world's problems (or drink enough to make us think we had)! Cheers!
-
I think everybody realizes these things, with it being almost two weeks still, I think people are just wanting something to do.... Lol but I agree with all points made... I just don't want to live in a world where everybody agrees on everything :P
