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

Edited by DaveInWoodland: 10/9/2014 11:23:49 PMIn all the years I have been playing which is probaly more then the average age on the forums I cannot remember when there was such a polarization among various players as there is with Destiny. Everyone has a right to speak how they feel about it but to see most responders to that you would think those that don't post glowing comments murdered someone's first born. I think allot of that comes from people (just my opinion) that they want to be validated in their purchase and not think they did not make the best choice. I do know that for myself there were times when I truly enjoyed playing but they were few and far between the times I just wanted to stop. I have made several posts about that and of course they were usually met with disdain and name calling which gets old to me very quickly. I actually come to the forums as a barometer to see which way the tide is going and for some entertainment since I have allot of time of my hands normally. But I do understand what you're saying 100%.
