Can you think of a game that ever disappointed you more than Destiny has with its freemium/RNG bullshit loot, lack of content, repetitiveness/grindfest, inexcusable bugs, and laughable story?
I can't. I've put a lot of time in, because it was still fun early on to play with friends. But now almost all of us despise this game. And with what's planned for the future, nothing looks like it's going to change.
We all had sky high hopes, bought in to the hype, but this game is pretty terrible. Pretty and controls well, but it's a bad bad game.
Anything else close to this disappointing for you?
EDIT: People love to cite my play time as some kind of argument that the game can't be that disappointing. Here is an answer to that:
Did I have a lot of fun?
Yes - in the beginning. Early progression and playing with friends was fun for a while. The loot slot machine had me addicted as well.
Did I feel my money was well spent?
I'm conflicted here. Clearly I put a lot of time in, so there is some value in that. But I feel like the money I spent sent a very wrong message to Bungievision - that what they did was OK and people will buy anything. That worries me.
Did you put in more hours then most games?
Yes I did.
When new content arrives will I play?
NO WAY IN HELL. I preordered the expansion pass, so I will check out the new raid in HoW. But after that I won't spend another dime on this game unless massive fundamental changes are made.
There's no doubt the universe they created is very compelling, but the execution so far has been so piss poor that I refuse to encourage more of the same by giving them any more money, UNLESS things change in a big way.

I think you're correct. It's easy to enjoy a game, pump 100 hours into it, and still see it as a disappointment. If it takes you that long to come to a decision as far as whether you liked it or not, so be it. Games aren't movies, so people who make that argument are clueless. A good game isn't successful because of sales; it's successful if it retains players. Destiny failed to do that in any great number. Every person reading this knows the truth...that most of their 15 or 20 or 25 friends that used to play this have moved on. All that's left are the ultra-hardcore, OCD obsessed players who don't stay because of enjoyment, but rather because they have succumbed to a borderline addiction. The truth is, this argument can never be settled until another Destiny comes out, and we see whether or not people remember just how bad this one is. Activision will come up with a lot of creative spin to convince you they've made big changes, but I'm sure nothing will. That's why it will be a frosty Friday in hell before I ever fall for their marketing hype again. I'll be watching to see how this game evolves before I ever give them another dime.
