When a game studio has to address that many things less than 90 days after a launch, I'd consider that to be "broken" myself. Sure, it plays fine, but the amount of content, and the systems in place are just terrible and have been received poorly by the community. Just semantics, I guess. Definitely incomplete. Far short of the expectations of a community that has been waiting years for a game Bungie has been telling us would knock our socks off.
I guess I'm just asking too much by wanting a "complete" video game at launch in 2017.

didn't it take less than a month for complaints about the systems to start rolling in? when they said they were gonna go esports, i realized the game will soon end, most esport titles only last a couple years before being forgotten by people D2 is shaping up to be even shorter

Modificato da Charge-14: 11/30/2017 4:34:15 PMLets be honest, asking for a flawless video game since 2010 has been a complete and utter waste of time. But for all intents and purposes, D2 WAS a complete game on launch. There was nothing close to sheer unplayability like AC:Unity or the utter lack of meaningful content like No Mans Sky. When a game studio has to address that many things less than 90 days after a launch, I call that them paying attention. Nowadays, you can go six months with zero word from developers and ten without a single update. I'm of the thought that Bungie has kept up more than enough communication. Giving us enough to chew on but not enough to spoil anything. There's a fine line between being informed and being over-informed and a large gap between between the former and complete radio silence. As a person who threw down $250 on the Collectors Edition, I'm extremely happy I did. I might not entirely like where the game is currently (weapon variance needs an update [which they're doing], more variance in how you obtain gear [also doing], and some slight rebalancing for weapon types [pulse rifles being the big one for me]) but if you compare Year 1 Destiny 1 to Year 3 Destiny 1, I think I already know where this game is going and I love it. EDIT: Grammatical errors.

More power to you. Give Bungie all the money you want, that is up to you to do. Maybe they will create a CTE like thing and have the community be involved in fixing this game. But the last 3 years have been more of the same thing Bungie just did. Posts saying they are listening, when they continue to fix things that aren't broken and providing features no one asked for. I'm just sad that we're pretty much through the launch season of 2017, and can't seem to have a triple A title launch without some kind of controversy. Shadow of War pretty much requires an eternal grind to unlock endgame content, or you can just get loot boxes to speed it up. Bf2 comes out with a flawed progression system and a pay to win theme. CoD has pay to win elements and needed a major patch just a few weeks after, in addition to being panned by it's community. D2 has no meaningful endgame content, a silly weapons system that gives you two primaries that fire marshmallows, a terrible 4v4 PvP experience no one wanted, and the devs pull shady shit with the XP throttle then release a post trying to do damage control that isn't good enough for a large chunk of it's community. All of them have DLC content that is pretty much required to continue playing for more than a few months. I'm thinking we've all see the golden age of gaming come and go.
