That is one of the first articles about Destiny that I've read where I agreed with everything that was written. There wasn't one single point where I was like "well I'm not sure if I feel the same way". Thanks for posting the link the this article. Hopefully Bungie takes note for future DLC's.

All things ive been saying for the last four months. Refreshing to see it in a mainstream review. Destinys....... Destiny is tied to whether Bungie continue to work against us, or listen to what we say and work with us. Computer games are just like any other sales business, listen and work with your customer base to give us what we want. Because thats all that matters, what we the customer want. And before the half witted mouth breathers crawl out of the woodwork screaming "self entitled" : Most of you live in western world where the consumer is king, you dont accept someone serving you shit in a bun at McDonalds why do you accept it in a computer game? You wouldnt accept poor service, substandard quality, defective products ANYWHERE else in your life.

Wow, this is probably the most accurate and well written Destiny review that I have read. The writer hits the nail on the head.

Nice review, thanks for the post.

"Theres nothing that makes me reach for my LAN cable faster than a stupid bug on a flawless run" Sooooo truuuueeeeee -blam!- the unfixed glitches. Atheon is still bugged!

Nvm this now pointless comment

Fantastic review. Everyone [b]including Bungie[/b] should read that review. I copied and pasted my favorite points and agree every game needs a boss enemy...and Bungie has forced us to choose them as our main adversary. Destiny - It still feels as though the game is constantly screwing you over. The joy of winning some new exciting gear is often soured by the bitterness of getting a bunch of crap you don't need. The joy of beating a difficult boss is accompanied by sharp memories of the times you were defeated by bugs and glitches. [b] In September, I said that Destiny was so brazenly exploitative that it was only natural that players would take every opportunity to exploit it right back. That remains the case.[/b] All this cheese has revealed a whole new version of Destiny to me: The Destiny where players are aligned more actively against the game, picking and prodding and digging in search of new ways to crack it open and see what makes it tick. [b]You Can't Patch Players[/b] In late September, Bungie closed the Loot Cave for business. They changed the spawn timer on the enemies in the cave, making it much more difficult to stand outside and gain experience and loot. It was the end of an era. Or, well, no it wasn't. Shortly after that, players discovered a new loot cave. Bungie tweaked that one too, but a narrative had been established: [b] Players come up with an exploit. Bungie patches it. Players find a new exploit. [/b] Soon, most players had moved on from Loot Caves to cheesing the weekly nightfall strikes and the raids, two much more complicated activities that, while difficult to complete, offered much better and more consistent rewards. Like all cheese, Destiny's exploits come with an expiration date. For a time, it was possible to stand together on a podium and easily wipe out the Templar mid-boss of the Vault of Glass. Then Bungie patched the game to make that area out of bounds. After that, people figured out how to knock the Templar off of his platform using grenades. Eventually, Bungie patched that, too. It was possible to do something similar to the raid's final boss Atheon, comically knocking the big dumb lunk off of a cliff with grenades. Then Bungie patched that. Players figured out how to arrange themselves into "home" and "away" teams for the Atheon battle—this approach wasn't even a cheese, we just thought it was how the battle was supposed to go—but Bungie patched that, too. These days, players can easily cheese the majority of the game's strikes and entire sections of Crota's End. Surely Bungie will patch all those, too. [b] The more I play, the more it seems like the studio's determination to shut down players' unsanctioned fun is misguided. It also feels oddly insecure, like Bungie isn't confident that their game is fun enough on its own, that they worry that if players are able to play it "wrong," to exploit loopholes to get better gear, that they'll eventually max out their inventory and quit altogether. [/b] [u]Bungie appears more concerned with squashing creative player exploits than they are with making sure their game works properly. [/u] Granted, there's an argument that making the game work properly involves the removal of exploits. But eventually Bungie is going to have to acquiesce to the fact that every time they patch a cheese, a new cheese will rise to take its place. Hopefully they'll begin to reprioritize and focus on making sure the game works well for those who don't want to farm exploits. I hope you are listening Bungie. If you repeat the same mistakes players WILL NOT and we will leave for other games. Good luck fellow guardians.

Absolutely nailed it. Bungie should seriously take note!
