Hear that Deej, Bungie... That silence is the sound of shrinking market share. I can only assume investors are already jumping ship. If that happens, or is happening, what happens to that $500 mil budget dedicated to the Destiny franchise.
I guess the angry voices do indeed outweigh the fandoys you were hoping could save a sinking ship.
Edit: So I've sat back after posting this to watch the waters churn. I'm impressed with the feedback, but I'm not shocked this thread got a lot of attention, positive or negative. People can bash me, the article, or the game as much as they like...point is, I didn't post it to start an argument! I posted it more or less as PSA...in the hopes the attention this thread MIGHT receive gains the attention of someone we've ALL been longing to hear from. Keep the chatter"white" coming y'all.

IGN = Ignorant gaming nerds

Until another game can come out with better game play and coop, destiny will dominate my (and all my friends) consoles. Play a game because you like it. What did they review COD at? I played it for a few hours, laughed and went right back to destiny. Way better gameplay and coop. There is no comparison IMO. I can see people who don't play with friends not liking this game. You want story? Go read a book. Gameplay is what keeps people coming back. When people start looking at this game for what it is and not what they thought is was going to be it will become clear this is game of the year.

May I remind you that IGN also gave Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby a 7.8 because it had too much water...
-
Thank you. Without your so called "PSA", I have no idea where I'd be today. Zero originality Starving for attention Muted for having no purpose to these forums.
-
I do agree with most of what Ign has to say. I still enjoy Destiny none the less. But if they keep punishing the dedicated players, I think I will go back to casual games such as 3DS and Wii U games.

The thing that ruffled the most feathers is the resetting of exotics and vendor gear being better than raid gear. This could easily be solved with making raid stuff upgradable to 36 light by running VoG for glass shards or some materials that will only drop in VoG. And resetting of exotics should be replaced with two extra nodes in the upgrade tree.
-
IGN brings valid points to the table. Destiny can be fun to play at times but leaves a lot of room for improvement. Let's see if Bungie can give us a DLC that is truly worth 20 dollars.
-
punching people off ledges in the middle of a raid to hear them scream and bitch at you in a foreign language is priceless.. thank you!
-
Now you have to wonder, once House of Wolves is released will the trend continue?
-
IGN lied. People died.
-
Maybe you should have posted a poll to prove that there are more angry voices that non-angry voices. Instead, you made an assumption based on the vocal portion of the internet.

PSA. :P

Edited by Richard l Nixon: 12/19/2014 8:22:12 PMDid anyone consider that, because people seem to love reading and commenting on articles bashing Destiny, IGN wrote a negative review? Smh at this community. IGN reviews are and always will be a joke and are not a trusted source of opinions on games. But, because they fed the trolls this time around, all of the sudden they are the end all be all, definitive nail in the coffin? I never thought I'd see the day.

I will continue to form my own opinion. Thank you, drive thru....

This article is accurate. This game is fun. Because the gameplay is like halo which the majority of us loved. The game leaves alot to be desired. The expansion is bullshit. I played it and enjoyed the few hours I got out of it. It's unfortunate but the game makers know they can essentially rip off their fans. Halo had a fun story line and great scenes. I think there are 5 whole scenes in this game. And they are garbage. The story sucks. It does make a difference. Wish we could turn back the clock a few years when they released whole games.

OOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *MLG Montage Parody plays*

Their review couldn't be more true. I've loved Bungie for a decade but now I'm questioning rather or not I should store my faith and admoration in something else.
-
Wow. You know it's bad when IGN jumps into the fray and gives a negative review. "To call it an “expansion” is generous, roughly equivalent to calling a moped a motorcycle." Ohhhh Bungie! You just got lit up cup!
-
I lol'd This game has sold almost 13 million units at $50 plus however many DLCs at $20. They made their half a billion back already. The rest is gravy.
-
Ign's mum
-
Since when does IGN have the moral high ground on anything?
-
LOL...IGN
-
IGN SUCKS WORSE THEN CALL OF DOODY...

You have great potential as a FOX news correspondent. All you need to do is say the same kind of stuff, just loudly and in a way that drowns out anyone trying to comment themselves.
-
How can the complainers claim they don't like grinding? They've regurgitated the same series of complaints over and over for the last 3 months. Talk about repetitive and meaningless!

DeeJ shouldent be bashed. I feel sorry for the guy tbh.
