why the hate? what can we do?

The tl;dr version = let's have the community help show their support for bungie by posting support for their hard efforts and their upcoming game by expressing this wherever we can! Too many negative comments out there! Let's make an effort to express our bungie support! #inbungiewetrust First of all let me clearly state I already understand the problem of Internet toxicity and it's effect on things like comments. We all know that the years of being able to hide behind a screen name has made many people "brave" enough to spout vitriol and disparaging remarks. What disappoints me is all the negative comments I see about destiny. The hating for xxxx pointless reason is so confusing to me when most of the comments seem to state the obvious and irrelevant. Comments such as "this has elements of borderlands/ halo in it therefore it's terrible" or "there's shooting in it therefore it's unoriginal" seem shallow at best to me. It is widely known that popular/ well received games define their genres for long periods of time. It is also widely accepted that halo 1 had this effect in terms of the beginning of multiplayer and player experiences. Halo 2 almost singlehandedly helped Xbox live become the service it is today and so on and so forth. Meanwhile borderlands has also had immense success with its mechanics and systems it introduced and refined with both of its iterations so far. This leads me to sit here and read the comments ( I know I shouldn't) and think "you are upset that this next game from bungie is attempting to fuse elements form many popular genres as well as many successful and loved games?" Why would you be? I'm sure bungie has a thick skin but even as someone who's Investment in destiny is just being a fan and community member, I'm getting a little tired of seeing so much hate dominating the comments for reveals and info on this labor of love from people we have grown to respect so much. Spread the word and lets not "fight back" so much as tip the balance of these comments to reflect just how much we appreciate what the people at one of our favorite studios are doing! Next time you see something from bungie take the two minutes to add a meaningful voice of support! Let's not let the spiteful minority dominate the channels! #inbungiewetrust Thanks Papaya! P.s THANK YOU IF YOU MADE IT THUS FAR!

    Well said. The Marty situation just shows us how fickle the community can get. It really is the mob. "Let's get caught up in a riot and then forget and not care about it a week later." Seriously, Bungie deserves nothing but praise. They are the likely heroes when it comes to saving the console fps and online matchmaking. They weren't the first to develop the original ideas, by far (although how they do what they is always original and crazy innovative), but their execution of any endeavor is always top notch. Bungie is waiting for the big reveal...E3. Be patient, people, and understand that they are attempting the perfect blend of video game action and activity. We are going to see elements of the best games that have come before . We're gonna see a little borderlands, a little mass effect, a little defiance (...best? Maybe not so much), and i hope to high heaven that we see a lot of Halo in the mix. Anyone who thinks that to be original means to be the Genesis of an idea knows nothing about the creative process. At the end of the day, they're building the kind of games they want to play, because they are gamers just like us. I doubt they've spent the lest six years developing something they thought was just mediocre. My hopes are that Destiny will, to put it simply, blow us all away. The link is for those unfamiliar with the true meaning of creativity. Amazing presentation, and very applicable for those hating on Bungie for remixing what's already out there. #inbungiewetrust
