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

This post has some points, and then it doesn't. For example, split screen? Honestly, it's used on the rare occasions that my friends come over and don't bring their own consoles, or if we play Minecraft. But really, it hasn't done anything for me in years. It's not a necessary feature anymore, and that's a fact, sad as it may be. People don't use it enough anymore. Private matches? I'm kinda of upset they aren't here, but I rarely used them in other games to begin with. But even then, their point is moot for most non-clan gamers. And really, this isn't the game I'd play them in anyway. "It was just a beta". This statement is true, but is often used in an entirely wrong manner. People often say it as though it was missing key features or its going to change a lot. It won't. However, it was still very limited. We had access to low level guns, two playspaces (one was for less than a day, and if I remember right they were the two smaller playspaces), some of the areas in the playspaces were blocked off by walls anyway, and of course we had only a small part of the story (any complaints about Earth's story missions are fair, but I thought the Moon's was good). DLC's nowadays are commonplace. I typically don't get them (really when I think about it Borderlands 1/2 are the only games I did get them for), however some games (like Borderlands) have DLC's that are better than the original game. This one though has to be taken with a wait and see approach, because until we know what they give, they're too hard to judge. Also, if I can get 40+ hours out of a game, I typically consider that a cost effective investment. If DLC's can keep the time going further, I don't often see why not to get them, if you have the money. The game was very fun for me. That's what matters. I'm not looking for revolutionary, or graphics, or sound design, I'm looking for a fun game. And Destiny's beta was more fun than 3/4 of the full games I own. That is what is most important to me, and that's why I defend it. Different opinions are different.
