Honestly, it's amazing how many excuses you guys can come up with for Destiny
Seriously, the faster we can admit that Destiny has flaws, the faster we can actually discuss the game
Really, do you actually except this game to be [i]the best game ever[/i] or so good that you'll skip school or work for it??
I love Destiny as much as anyone (not you guys though) but honestly it's just a game
The conversations you guys hold really worry me
"Deej, please cancel his preorder. We don't want him to experience your epic creation" - some fanboy who responded to a legit concern
Seriously??
You guys need to admit that it has some flaws
No split screen?
That's a big flaw
"Modern games have no need for split screen"
"Split screen holds the game back"
Really?
If Bungie had added split screen I can guarantee that [b]no one[/b] will be complaining how split screen is such a thing of the past
No proximity chat
Another big one
With how much Bungie is emphasizing teamwork, you would expect a ways to communicate with others right?
You're seriously very alone in the "social" world of Destiny
"I don't want people raging through my mic"
Then mute them
Is it really that hard to spend five seconds to mute someone??
These features are optional
You don't want them, don't use it
They're easy to add but still
You guys defend Bungie like they're always right
And after the beta, there were obviously many features that we didn't like or didn't see
"ITS JUST A BETA"
I hate that so much
We were a month from launch
Did you really except them to add all your beloved features in?
Whatever you saw in the beta, that's it
From the beta to the launch is just to smooth out bugs or to fix up any technical problems
And they really didn't try to hold back in the beta
Don't try the "they blocked off a large percentage of the beta" thing
"We're treating the beta as its own product. It's going to be big. We're throwing everything we got at this thing" - some interview with Bungie
It was advertised as the preorder bonus and its own grand journey
Honestly, it left a lot to be desired
I'm not going to say what the beta failed at because every game has flaws
I'm okay with that
It's just the community coming to defending every mistake that pisses me off
Now after the beta and you get more and more info, toy realize that the content is much smaller than you thought and that it doesn't live up to expectations
You then try to push the problem away by saying "DLC! DLC!"
"Private matches in DLC"
"More planets in DLC"
Seriously, the fact that there are DLCs in the first place is terrible
The game should come with the full game
Not as a disc with downloads later on
Trust me, DLCs don't offer that much
From what I've seen of Destiny, DLCs are likely to include
-Couple of new missions
-Some new guns and items
-New maps
Do you really expect this game to be all that??
And when you find a legit concern, you mark it off as a O/1O troll to avoid addressing the problem
#Destiny is basically
Praise Destiny
No opinions
That being said, I love Destiny
It's a great game
Not the best or groundbreaking but very good
But this forum is very self defeating
You post questions that you already "know" the answers to
"Will there be/Will you do/Why would you Blah Blah Blah in Destiny?"
How do you know what's going to be in Destiny?
You want so much in this game that of course you're going to think that it's all included
This is the same argument you use on people with concerns for the game
"You don't know what Destiny is like so don't criticize it"
Yet you go right back to daydreaming about your beloved features that you want in the game
Once (if) you finally realize that Destiny isn't perfect, we can have discussion
"Oh this weapon/feature/map/gamemode is lacking. What can we do to fix it?"
Or
"Oh man, this weapon/map/mission/feature totally sucks. Let's see what we can do to make it better"
But there's none of that because you think the game is perfect
Let's please come back to Earth and be real
Thanks
Edit:
I'm not complaining about the game
I'm complaining about fanboys defending it

The problem is how ppl react to design choices by calling them flaws. Most of these choices are made because of the different style of game they are going for rather than a halo knock off Split screen, it's just not an option. If Split screen was there how would the game know what the guest lvl or gear is? You would have to have 2 gold accounts on Xbox live or psn to play multiplayer features such as strikes or crucible. It's huge factors like those that made bungie choose SP only. But it's amazing how ppl think because they created halo they have to stick the same design choices, Proximity chat. I don't think ppl even know what this is before they ask for it. It's chat in a variable distance. Which yes potentially can be huge is this type of setting, but voice chat has changed over the years, most people don't even use it. Destiny should have chat in strikes and crucible games, and I have no doubt they will add it in later. OP, I agree that there are a lot of people trying to make destiny the game they want it to be, but the truth is most ppl on these forums have probably never played this kind of game before. It's basically an mmo using fps elements, and people think it's something like halo when it's probably the furthest thing from halo other than the fps genre. See people are too wrapped up in hype, and bungie/Activision are feeding that hype. Destiny will be a good game and I think the series will last the 10 year deal and we will see more innovation in future games. But right now there is nothing we can do to change destiny or people's minds until people get a true feel of the full game Sept 9.
