Does anybody realize that Destiny is far from over....?
Just wondering if there are people out there that realize that what we've played so far.. that 20+ hours you've put into this game so far is only the beginning? That the reason the "story" is lacking is because there really isn't one right now on purpose? That all we've seen so far is a brief introduction into the massive world Bungie is opening us up to (and a damn good introduction at that)? This isn't Assassin's Creed where you play it for 4 days, get through the story and be done with it. I honestly think we've only experienced a tenth of what Bungie has in store for us. Being an intelligent consumer you have to know what you're in for, the $90 I spent on this game is not for a 16 hour story and some silly side quests. It's an investment in a franchise from a company which brought us the likes of HALO. Let's have some sense comrades. I look at a lot, not all, but a lot of these complaints and when you break them down people are, in essence, complaining that they haven't played and seen everything the game has to offer yet. Bungie, over the next days, months, years, will be giving us more to play, see and do. Did you people play WoW or Skyrim for a couple days and then cry? No, because you realized that those games, like this one, are far from over after intro.
I also realize that some folks are never happy. If Bungie had introduced to us from the very beginning, 4389142 gun types, 4378 enemy types, 76 different planets and such, there would be those that after racing through all of it in a week would still be unhappy. These are the people I pray for at night.
I'm saying all this to basically say we need to give Bungie time to reveal to us what they have up their VERY LARGE sleeves. Stop whining about paying for expansions when I bet most of you bought all the Halo DLC when it was nothing but, if my memory serves me right, multiplayer map packs.... nothing to evolve the story like it is in this case... but different maps to shoot each other on... C'mon son...
Let's give an ENORMOUS game like Destiny more than a week to prove itself.. I mean hey, you beat CoD in 10 hours and then shoot each other on the same maps for half a year before complaining.

1 ReplyThis game is getting the same complaints I see at the release of every MMO. MMOs will always lack content during the first few weeks simply because the developers won't release it all at once like a normal game. Despite what some people want to believe, this is very much an MMO. The end game gear grind, the emphasis on strikes and raids, the daily story and strike missions, all of it is torn straight out of the MMO book. So many people seem discontented because they expected Halo 2.0. If you were expecting a straight forward shooter, you will be disappointed. But if like me, you expected an MMOFPS, this game is very enjoyable. I always have things to grind out and gather. My carrot on the end of the stick is never caught. Now that I'm getting gear, I need to grind out the items necessary to upgrade said gear. This game will constantly be updated and, like every MMO, it will lose a portion of its player base in the first month. Those of us who love this game will simply ride out the storm and enjoy it so more once it happens.

5 RepliesBeen telling people this from the beginning. It irks some , but really it needs to be treated as a trilogy or series/novel like LoTR , or Game of Thrones. It's not a sprint , it's a marathon.

I keep trying to tell people this game isn't over.

7 RepliesNo, don't pretend like this was some grand plan. The released game is shit. You can't even talk to other players?? What the hell is that? Garbage, that is what it is. The point about Halo DLC is it already had a complete, well told story. Bungie shit this story out without so much as a second thought. Not a single memorable character (like halo had) no twist. NOTHING. This was utterly abysmal. The only reason I am still around is because once not too long ago, Bungie made quality games and I feel I owe it to them to wait and fix this abortion.

Borderlands, on day 1 versus Destiny on day 1. Destiny is maybe what ... 20-40% of Borderlands day 1. 60$ for 10% of a game is ... blam!
-
LOL Is this what Destiny fanboyism has become now? "There wasn't a story on purpose?!" Hahahahahaha! The game is decent, but it's not even 1/10 of what Bungie were hyping it to be.

No tl;dr? Disappointed but for arguments sake i will read this great wall of chin- i mean text. ...First i don't give shit if they have 50 games planned and over 200 DLC, when you start a franchise you make something that the players can attach themselves to. Final Fantasy the first one had characters with no name, no background, and STILL had a better story than destiny :O and by this i mean it delivered what needed to be delivered. Destiny went "oh...yeah i don't have time to really explain much just read the grimoires." This is just shitty...seriously bad planning. If i wanted to go read something online i'll read...i don't -blam!-ing know an ebook or something. When i play a game i expect the story, what little there may be, to be in game. Not only that but there are times when your "ghost" starts talking about random shit...and just as abrutly as he brought up whatever, he stops and says nothing much. "The hive hollowed out these tunnels" or whatever the sentence was...cool...why? how? when?...go on? nothing. Not to mention the Speaker and his famous "i don't have time to explain why i don't have time to tell you wtf is going on while you died." This is no "good" introduction, this is a "here's the gameplay for the next 10 years you can expect...oh and because we should have a story here is some half baked story so we can say we did something." Please let's not compare this to halo....for the 100'th time, Halo...it's getting tiring and in no way has destiny come close to halo from my perspective in terms of anything but gameplay, which i love from destiny but still... Actually i played skyrim for a few days and after the main story, which was complete trash, was disappointed. I don't play games for -blam!-ing side quests. Skyrim is basically oblivion which is basically morrowind just a lot more sidequests...so please don't be comparing them to this as they don't relate. You seem to be mistaken, there are only what...9 total gun types in this game? 3 of which is just 1 gun split into 3 types (semi, auto, burst...-blam!-ing sad excuse for a gun, we have switches for rate of fire now why don't we have this in the future?). So that's really only 6 gun types, which is split into 3 categories...and look at that, 2 for each :D, i'm pretty satisfied myself with enemy types and don't care much for the planets number, more so on the size of the areas but that's minor. Just more gun types OR OR OR OR if not gun types at least make a variety of guns for each type...because there is almost no differences other than the perks and even those are very limited. Do you really understand how -blam!-ing easy it is to code this? it isn't hard. Never bought halo DLC or bought into the xbox bullshit so don't even bring that crap up, I have only once paid for "DLC" and that was XCOM Enemy Within, yeah, so -blam!- you that was actual DLC not this shitty shit. As for CoD, as i said before, it has gun "types" but make up for it with a shitload of guns in each type, something destiny lacks, so there is always something fun you can pull out. I made a class purely for knifing in cod and that gave me weeks of challenges. The campaign at least gave some resemblance to a story unlike destiny and although destiny, imho, has a superior gameplay and graphics, it lacks a ton of other things. Now i'm going to go back up here to this bullshit statement about investing in a company. Now, if i were to invest in a company i would expect this title to be something like "early release" or "beta" or "alpha" because at least then i know i'm paying for something to be done. At the moment i paid for something that doesn't seem finished to me. It has amazing parts and then others seem like they went "ah -blam!- it let's throw it in production and PROFIT!" Do you realize that this is not an investment, you paid for a game that they cut corners on so much that they can afford to give you weekly releases and shit until they run out of that periods "budget" and start on the next "sequel" and continue from there, while also pitching you DLC that you will pay for. tl;dr? Destiny -blam!-ed up, though it has great gameplay mechanics everything else basically lacks heavily. The sooner you all realize this the better your games will be because companies will realize they can't get away with this bullshit anymore. 10 years ago we didn't have DLC, we had Expansion packs. We didn't have 10 hour stories we had 40 hour stories. The gaming industry quality has deteriorated at an astonishing pace...

2 RepliesFirst off, great post, [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/User/Profile?id=225632]Eddie[/url]. I agree the story is lacking. Why does it need to be complete to be a good game though? Anyone ever see [i]The Matrix[/i] back in the day? How about good 'ol [i]Star Wars[/i]? There are many movies out there where the first of a trilogy has missing holes, or a lame/unsatisfying end. The rest will come later. I don't see why this is unclear to the rest of the world. There's no reason there cannot be a Destiny 2 and Destiny 3. Or as others have stated; more story coming within the future DLC.

It's like you said, it's a 'marathon' not a sprint to see what one of the best story game developers in the industry, show us.
-
Wow spoken like a true consumer who looks at the game in a more in depth view
-
I sure hope they don't overprice the dlc's at least. I preordered the game expecting more than it gave. But like you said, it's only an introduction
-
of course destinty isnt over i heard its a 10 year plan and i hope it is what ive played so far is f****g amazing and i cant wait for me GIVE ME MORE BUNGIE and putting all content in the game from the start is a bad idea as people who play then get bored and probally never play it again bungie no what they are doing thats y destinty became the most expensive video game ever and the most pre orderd game ever

I wouldn't have wasted my time in posting this thread. Don't feed the trolls just ignore them. Everyone that matters in the game knows this. But nice post none the less.

^^^^^^^ What he said!!

4 RepliesGreat but first impressions and all that. If you want people to play a game for 10 years you need to wow them and show them they must come back to see where it's going, not just say "you just wait its gonna get really really good, we promise"
-
agreed!
-
Well said!
-
Op you are my hero, we should combat the darkness together!
-
7 RepliesI'm sure everyone who says this game is too short missed the part where bungie said the game would develop over the next 10 years. That means new guns, story, maps, planets

1 ReplyShhh let the Xbot and Noobs Rage

40 RepliesLets take the game from the start. you load it up pick a race to play but to what purpose? They all start the same, why not an individual starting level to make you feel ok I'm playing this. Then you pick a class other than supers there's nothing in them how about a mission based on your class but ok lets see past that and on to the levels. The levels are all the same. run here put ghost to hack something and defend. but you don't after defend you can run off and hide where the enemy wont follow go make yourself a drink come back and your ghost is still trying to hack and the trash still just waiting there to be killed. why not disrupt your ghost to give a sense that you after defend it. but lets move past that and to the point where ppl are saying its a changing game. lets take earth as we all live here and know what its like first hand:). where's the day/night changing how come when ever I go there its always the same no weather no wild life. did the world stop spinning and now its day time all the time. I keep reading its a different game but to me its nothing more than a fps but instead of a main menu we now have a ship. multiplayer is now crucible. strike/raids is just co-op mode. and the rest is just chapter select. the only difference is the tower and loot drops but lets face it the tower is nothing good and the loot drops just become old after the 50th time running a strike it might be far from over but the start Is nothing to sing about

Excellent post, and I fully agree!!

Beautiful

Well said, I always tell people that Destiny is a game of which we have never seen before. Comparing it to anything else is just stupid.

1 ReplyThe game is great fun for those who have friends that play with them, but for others like me who don't know anyone else who plays....welll, it kinda sucks. If I only PvP'd then it would be ok, but I have been on raid teams in MMO's and you can't just raid with any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Raid teams have to gel, so Destiny's endgame is not for casual gamers who just wanna have fun and almost feels like a job trying to assemble a team. Not sure I'm willing to make that kind of investment with my time for another raid team.
