So the other day I was watching some videos on crucible and out of nowhere a 30 minute ad came up. It was about the "greatness" that is destiny, and some randy was interviewing four guys from bungie.
I am aware that destiny is flawed, I am aware that it is a hollow repetitive game with excellent gun play. Im okay with that, im even going to buy the taken king because of how much I have enjoyed playing with my friends.
What I am NOT okay with, is how bungie keeps marketing this game as something it is not. "Expansive world with new things to do everyday!" Also "Rich story with new twists around every corner" wtf game are they talking about?
Destiny is a horrible story game, it has a terrible narrative, its clearly been chopped up and split into multiple DLC's it is made to be addictive, and worst of all, they lie to new players about what they will "actually" get.
That is my beef, the lies...
I think its time we players of destiny started giving bungie more shit about the garbage content we keep getting. It needs to stop, and we the players can make it happen.
Unfortunately, im sure no one will read this, and probably nobody cares.
Oh well =/
Edit 1: im surprised this even had more than a few replies. Ive posted before, nevet got any replies. Funny how life tends to surprise us.
I should clarify that I don't hate destiny, I was annoyed and frustrated by that ad. It was a bit much, more than just a white lie. I have a love hate relationship with destiny, I play it often as I mentioned above, it is still fun. I get that all ads lie to a degree, but destiny does have strengths, and I dont get why they dont play off that.
Mechanics, physics, raids, strikes, pvp, the co op experience. Things that yes we may do over and over again but we still do because the gameplay is so good we still play.
There is a misconception that you cannot enjoy something yet pick out its flaws. I saw the replies wjth people saying "stop playing if you hate it" I dont hate the game, I dont agree with the ads, specially for the new players.
I love destiny, but it is when you love something, and spend so much time with it that you are able to see what its strengths and weaknesses are. Just because I can point out those weaknesses does not mean I dont enjoy the game.
It is like me saying I never want to improve as a person, no one is perfect, but we can always strive to be better.
Is bungie doing the same with their game? Hopefully...

Modificato da Alfy: 7/14/2015 3:59:24 PMWhen are we going to find out about the traveler, or is that something that bungie will sell to us with dlc number 678899, which probably will cost about $679.99 To find out in year 10

Modificato da AJIc3CoLd: 7/14/2015 2:36:06 PMDon't worry about the "if you hate it then quit" responses. Imagine walking into a crack den and trying to take the needle from a junkie or trying to lecture them on the dangers of drug abuse, they aren't going to be happy.

I don't know that it's up there with someone selling an absolutely broken game, but they sure made it sound like almost Skyrim, almost WoW, and Halo+. They're also king of making technically correct statements while alluding to something bigger. Marvelous social engineering skills. Not exactly lies though which is the biggest hindrance to affecting change in favor of players

3 RisposteI care :)
-
I am curious. How young do you really have to be before you don't even know who Wil Wheaton is? Do you even know what Star Trek The Next Generation is? Heck I was too young to really watch Star Trek TNG when it was actually running but I did watch the reruns....
-
That random was will wheaton. How young are you if you don't know who he is. But yes he was laying the praise on a bit thick. Or maybe he's a casual so it seems alot to him.

2 RisposteThere's been really hyped games that came out way worse, like Aliens: Colonial Marines.

35 RisposteModificato da Fur Hammerlock: 7/13/2015 9:59:02 PMRead, fully, and I do care. I don't fully agree with you, though. They said they know they have screwed up in Year One, they've heard us (the community) and agreed that they really could have done better in [i]a lot[/i] of places. (I am not saying you said this;) However, people blaming Activision for the reason Destiny isn't as expansive as marketed aren't really realizing exactly [b]why[/b] Destiny is much smaller than was advertised. The real reason? Last-Gen consoles. The 360 & PS3's processors and video chips were already really stressed from Destiny even on lower graphics settings, and Last-Gen consoles are also the reason we won't be getting more vault space, and that's not a lie. The systems can't handle it. The main reason Destiny feels like it could have been SO much more expansive is because of the decision to make it available on Last-Gen consoles. They can only handle so much, considering the One & PS4 are more than twenty-times stronger systems. EDIT: That 'Randy' was also Will Wheaton.

17 RisposteI love how players who have like 500 hours into this game come on and bitch about the garbage content and how the game sucks and how it should be so much more. You got your money's worth out of the game and then some. Also obviously there was something good about all of this to get you to play that many hours of a game.
-
11 RisposteI watched that whole interview. It made me sick hearing that guy praise Destiny on its narrative storytelling.
-
Yet you still throw money at it. Genius. Basically you're saying it's ok to do what you're complaining about. Gg.
-
And we all are playing that lie because it is still fun.
