Destiny is a prime example we don't see original games with success anymore.

True story. Too many spoilt people who don't appreciate effort and small things and expect too much. COD = been the same since it began. No complaints Destiny = new game, one of a kind, different, everyone hates it.

  • Unfortunately a lot of people are failing to understand that this game isn't "finished" and done as it is. There is going to likely be new content added all the time. Today's gaming society is like that, though - if it's not the greatest game of all time then it's garbage. I for one can't wait to see what Bungie has in store for the future of the game. Saturn...

    • I would agree if it was one of a kind, but's it's not really, is it? This game is Halo 3 with a social center. I don't hate it yet I don't like parts of it either. No economy my is my biggest gripe.

    • Umm I wouldn't say one of a kind but it is a decent game. It has not done anything to re-invent the genre. The matchmaking is sub-par, PvP is horribly un-balanced.

      • Thank you Mc Marky. I've read the less-favourable reviews, I've seen the negative comments and I'm absolutely loving this game regardless! Provided Activision support it and Bungie give us some boss battles with changing phases in them I'll be playing this game for years to come! It's absolutely astounding!

      • It's not "original" it's a little bit like Borderlands, a little bit like Mass Effect, and a little bit like Killzone and/or Halo. But it's ok. I mean, you're right on one thing - gamers tend to become too regarding. The ambiance is killer. The gameplay rules. So yeah maybe it's not that freaking amazing but it's still a really, really good game. I've worked in 3D animation and such and hell I can't start to imagine the amount of work which has been on that game. So yeah, it lacks a few things, but it's still really good.

      • Lol thats actually true... People complain about COD all the time about it being the same, Destiny comes along and everyone complains. Here's the thing about Destiny, yes its a shooter. Its like an MMO but its not, its an online peer to peer multiplayer first person shooter that you must think like its an MMO. What does that mean? On most console games the mentality is: "I beat the story, now what? I should go play PvP' or "I beat the story, nothing to do." - And thats who most of the complainers are. Granted some folks actually have valid points that are debateable. I'm subtley mad about some areas still being closed off on planets. But MMOs do that too :/ In this game you must think like its an mmo: "I'm going to play the story, explore the world, get the best gear, be the best player, and have fun while waiting for the next bit of content weather it be DLC/Expansion or patch content." And thats MMOs. Yes MMOS turn into a grind...but you try playing the campaign of a game over..and over...and over..again. Now go play the story and missions on Guild wars 2 for each character...over and over and over again. Except this time you're doing it for actual rewards, this time you're doing it to improve your gear. If I had to compare this game to any other game: It would be Guild Wars 2 Both games are adding content and story with patches and updates. Both games have a story and want you to run/explore different zones to access the story or extra missions (same for other MMOs too) Both games allow you to progress in both PvP and PvE while having seperate gear and vendors. (Same for some MMOs too) There are clear vendors, just like MMOs, but unlike some console games. The vendors are located in the main hub just like MMOs. Minus an auction house. Both games have unique classes that arent tied down to specific combat roles like Tank or Support. Both games are F2P but must pay for the game. Of course in Destiny's case you must have PS+ or Xbox Gold to access extra stuff. So I guess in that way Destiny has something in common with Pay 2 Play MMOs like WoW. Although that is a PlayStation & Xbox requirement really...perspective? I mean I can go on for a little while longer. Then compare this to COD...no Halo. Shooter - duh. AI Mechanic - Bungie made a great shooter with Halo...why not use it? Its like making a good game and using the good qualities of that franchise and putting what you can in another franchise under the same people who made it. Its all based off the same in house engine btw so its sorta inevitable. Although at this point 343 has their own engine for the new Halo games. Sorry for the long post/reply. This is all just my opinion. BTW I'm level 24 going on 25 playing with 10 friends. After this I'm so gonna be in Vault Of Glass!!! OOOH YAH!

        • It's just the new world we live in. People think they are entitled to everything without working for it. In Destiny these people actually have to put in an effort and things have "random" chances to drop. That big word "random " is extremely hard for them to comprehend just as hard as the phrase "work for it".

          • That's a good way to put it. I think because of the hype a lot of people bought Destiny that didn't know what to expect. With COD people know what to expect and therefore won't be let down much at all. As a result there are many negative comments about Destiny's story or some aspect of the game. For myself, Destiny is everything I wanted it to be. People need to recognize what the game offers instead of what it doesn't. The story could have been elaborated on but where this may be lacking, the game makes up in vanguard multiplayer and crucible. I've leveled a character to light level 25 and just completed the weekly heroic for the first time. This game is a challenge and from what I see will continue to be more difficult. I can only say good job to anyone who helped on the development of this game. For the skeptics and people not happy with destiny for various reasons; I say keep playing and try to experience this game to the full extent of it possible.

          • Your joking right? Go to CODHQ and tell me people dont complain about COD in almost the same fashion. Go to the BF threads and tell me they dont hate.... Haters just hate, and they can't stop playing the games they hate. Cheers.

          • People don't like change. I'm pretty sure if we had p90's and apache helicopters in mp everyone would love it, hell if they charge us 5 bucks for a gun skin and an emblem we'd be happy if they charged us 10 bucks for 2-3 new mp maps we'd be happy! Or maybe just some huge epic story that's going to take us 90+ hours with terribly clunky controls that makes the game near unplayable we'd be happy! Or maybe just bring back master chief so we know we're invincible then we'd be happy!

            • Cod at least makes some effort on doing a story in game.Destiny just tells you to go to the site to read the story on some cards.Hell I beat the story mode in destiny and it was the worst ending ever. If they are looking to milk this out for 10yrs or whatnot at least come out swinging because if this is the type of effort we will see in the next couple of years then just can the whole thing

              • Why do you think we're complaining? The story is almost nonexistent. Just take the Mass Effect back drop, edit some parts, and you got Destiny's story. "In the near future, humanity finally explored Mars without the use of robots. During one of these expeditions, we found the Prothean Ruins/[b]Traveler[/b] which allowed us to increase our technology tenfold. Thanks to element zero and the mass relays/[b]The Traveler[/b] we were able to explore the depths of space and set down our own colonies. Unfortunately, an ancient race/[b]being[/b] known as the Reapers/[b]Darkness[/b] arrived to destroy all life in the galaxy. Most of Earth and our colonies were decimated as they tried to wipe us from existence. Thans to the Prothean Archives/[b]Traveler[/b] and Commander Sheperd/[b]The Guardians[/b], we may stand a chance at survival against this overwhelming enemy." You're not even given a name for the Exo Stranger. It's just "Here, she's a time-traveling Exo battling the Vex, but we're not giving you so much as a name." That's about as lazy as when Bioware gave us a stock image off of Google and a five-minute Photoshop job and said "Here, THIS is Tali's face. This is the face of the one character you've always wanted to see." The Ghost is absolutely shallow in development. He only shows ONE moment of SOME emotion, and that's when you kill the Vex Gate Lord. There is no -blam!-ing reason to have an actor as great as Peter Dinklage play such a monotone character because the writers told him to. 343 Guilty Spark showed emotion. Cortana showed emotion. Heck, Bioware got this right with EDI and Legion! We've been dead a long time? Completely glossed over and never visited. Why? Probably because Bungie was too lazy to give an actual backstory and just went the Master Chief route and just made the silent badass with occasional one-liners. Except in Halo, a novel was released for a backstory to the John-117 an actual personality and story for anyone that cared enough. Destiny, it never happened. You want a backstory for who this person is or why you should care, too bad. Why does the Hive have a Traveler shard? Never explained. The Strike boss fights are only hard because you get Zerg-rushed by the adds. Other than that, it's just spam the weak spot on the boss and avoid their 1-2 hit kill attacks from up close. We only have 30 minutes worth of cutscenes. Most of which are beautiful and have huge potential, but are wasted on characters who are only there to spout exposition. The last good Bungie game was ODST, and that was only a few hours long in the story. Halo 3 failed in story. Reach failed in story. Destiny failed in story. And they had at least four years, if not more to write this. There is no reason to have a story this hyped and be completely underwhelming. Multiplayer is absolutely atrocious. Who thought it was a good idea to let people bring their single-player items into multiplayer? How is that competitive when it's not about skill, it's about who has the strongest weapon. What do most people use? A Hunter with a Shotgun and Auto Rifle or Hand Cannon. Play anything else, and you're screwed. The other day, I played a match and there was level 3 Titan, I was a level 21 Titan, and I felt bad about killing him so much. Why did it go that way? Because he had no gear to fight back, it's like a 12th grader fighting a kindergartner, it's absolutely atrocious that the developers let this through testing and dared to call it competitive. And just so we're clear, people complain all the time about COD being the same.

                  • I am not too worried about the haters and reviews, because I could not be enjoying myself more! Amazing game, and my friends are enjoying it just as much. I kinda feel bad for the lame fools that can't see what we do.

                  • So true, everyone seems determined to find [i]something[/i], [i]anything[/i] to complain about in Destiny. It's only the immature players that seem to hate the game anyway, thank God for CoD holding back the worst of the players.

                    • COD always has something new and degrading to offer in it's overdone sequels. I believe Destiny is a good game and I'm glad it lived up to the hype, seeing that it wasn't so over-addressed as the best game. Though there are some attributes that I despise like the Lvl.20 cap. Though this game so far hasn't felt dull, I'm hoping this games' life span last for a longtime.

                        Destiny's biggest problem is how generic it is so your post is stupid. When I clicked this thread, I thought you were going to talk about how Bungie played it safe by not doing anything creative and still sold a lot of copies. I mean honestly...are you joking?
