There seems to be an overwhelming number of people bashing the critics that are disappointed with the game. A lot of "GTFO my internets" kind of flaming going on. But come on, really? Are we really so wrong that we're not entitled to our opinions? No. Grow up people.
I mean if you think this game is great, that's fine. I think it's pretty great too. But only in some ways. I just wish it was even better, like most of the other games that are around these days...
To be honest if Destiny is anywhere on your top 10 games of all time, you're not a gamer and you know nothing about how much better games can be than this. This is a tragedy. A multi million dollar disaster. Developers with MUCH lower budgets have made timeless and perfect games that can never be outshined by the likes of Destiny. There is no excuse for Bungie and Activision to pour so much money into this game and have it be so very glaringly obvious that it's poorly designed. If you think otherwise you really don't know jack shit about gaming. I'm sorry but it's true. Have fun on your mindless shooter while the rest of us go play Dragon Age next month, because it's actually a REAL RPG.

The world agrees with us. Why don't you? Oh wait, because you're just one of the millions of troglodytes who were conned into buying this ingeniously MARKETED but poorly designed game.
By the way, a list of some of my favorite games that actually have high scores from critics and are relevant to the FPS/RPG genre. Destiny averages about 7.5/10:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Prime Average over 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect average just about 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront and here's one for you "shared world shooter" people. 8/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront_II 8.5

I don't "bash" anyone opinion, but an opinion from a person with no experience means nothing. They have no real basis to on which to form an opinion. I never studied physics, you don't see me making an opinion on how to make the space station better. When a profile says "This account has not played Destiny", that's a red flag. I pretty much ignore whatever that person thinks of the game, as they have no experience playing it. Same thing with people who complain about Bladedancer, but they've only got one character and its a Warlock. If you haven't played the character from both sides, you don't have enough experience to form a valid opinion about the topic.
