[u][b]TOP 5 - Most Overused Fanboy Defensive Lines!![/b][/u]
[b]5 - "THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL MMORPG, They didnt steal anything from Borderlands!"[/b] - Well besides the fact that without the level system, the loot system, and the class ability trees- this game would just be Halo Reach 2- all of those devices were not only found in Borderlands first, but they were done better. And no SHlT sherlock, its not a typical mmorpg, its just a typical on -rails shooter streamlined for children.
[b]4 - "If you like Halo so much go play MCC on the Xbox One!"[/b] - If you want the full reasons why Halo 2 and 3 are better than destiny - check my other post - [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67562431/0/0/1]Why are Halo 2 and 3 way better than Destiny?![/url] Reason MCC is better - Does not include Halo Reach. Seriously that game was garbage.
[b]3 - "IGN lied, not Bungie!"[/b] - Classic fanboy in denial. You really think Bungie allows IGN to lie? Thats called slander and its something they could sue for. Bungie not only checks over everything IGN "reports" due to their strict NDA (non-disclosure agreement), but actually preps and gives all of the dialogue that IGN shares with you, the clueless fanboys. In short - Bungie writes the script and IGN acts it out. Plus Bungie has been caught in many lies such as the whole "This is not a skybox, you can go anywhere you see without boundaries" scandal. The Tower, and everywhere else, are in fact, nothing but skyboxes. Pretty ones, but far from the open world we were promised.
[b]2 - "Cannot wait for Destiny, will be the greatest game of all time, just wait and see!"[/b] - The greatest game of all time was already released. [spoiler]Halo 3 came out in 2007[/spoiler]
[b]1 - "IT WAS JUST A BETA"[/b] - NOPE. It was just the beginning of the real game. Not only was it the final game, but it was 17% of the final game. Bungie has LITERALLY STATED they will not change anything from the beta, other than simple tweaks such as the firerate of Interceptors - [url=http://gamerant.com/destiny-beta-changes-release-date/]No Major Changes Coming To ‘Destiny’ Before Launch[/url]. They have also stated "Everything in the final game has already been shown [in the beta, in IGN vids, and on twitter]" So yes, its not only entirely fair to judge Destiny based on the beta, but its 100% accurate since the Beta is and will be the final game. So that means the same broken clan system, no ranking or ranked matches/splitscreen/LAN/custom games/competitive multiplayer, huge lack of content, and a very casual overhyped game that only bad kids will enjoy, briefly.
Hopefully like Halo 2 and 3, Destiny 2 and 3 will live up to the hype - especially since they wont be limited by old gen tech like ps3s and 360s. Destiny is not a next gen game nor does it introduce anything that hasnt been done before. Its just another fps with overly wide aim seeking to appeal to all gamers, yet the extremely short reach leaves it falling on its face and pleasing only those making the profits.

Since you like lists... 5 - Meh. Its not an mmo. Its a shared world shooter with aspects borrowed from several genres. It didn't borrow the loot system or leveling from borderlands...it borrowed the leveling system from the RPG genre as a whole. The loot system is diabloesque, which even the makers of borderlands admitted to getting their inspiration. 4 - to be honest...I don't know how to respond to that. Im a ps3 player...so I have an apathetic response to anything halo involved. It doesn't concern me. Moving on. 3 - I've heard about this discussion, about ign "lying". How do we know that there weren't changes mad to the games coding since that interview was held? Perhaps they were truthful at the time. Unless you are actually on bungies coding team or are intimate with someone who is, then I have my doubt's that you or I shall ever know the complete 100% truth behind the matter. Either way, I wouldn't consider it a lie, I would call it a no longer relevant truth. If I tell you that the sky is blue, and then at night you say no wait, the skies black...you lied! Would this make me a liar, just because my previous statement, although truthful at the time, no longer has merit? Food for thought. 2 -Meh. We come from different consoles, and we apparently have somewhat different tastes, but I was able to play and complete halo 3 before my 360 elite red ringed for the last time. However, in my opinion, it was not the greatest game of all time. I can name at least 5 other games I would place higher on my personal list. However, that would be my list, and my list would differ from yours. I do however, respect your opinion on this matter. Moving forward. 1 - it was just a beta. The download even said so. Destiny beta. I don't know what you downloaded, or what you were playing...but for roughly two weeks, my buddies and I played a beta. Now...this post wasn't meant to inflame a console war or anything. As a ps3 player, I am appreciative that bungie made this game available to bother current gen and next gen tech. I understand that at some point in destiny's run I will have to upgrade to a ps4, but thank you for allowing me to do so at my own pace and still enjoy this great game.
