[quote]Destiny is dying. This year will probably be the beginning of the end for the Destiny franchise that really hasnt even started yet. The game is literally a pathetic joke. It was completely over hyped and then under cut by is publishers and its developers : activision and bungie. It in its current best is nothing more than an over extended alpha. Is not even worthy of being called a beta. The dlc is nothing more than origional content cut from the game to be sold by activision and bungie to make more money. PvE- At its best moments its only mediocre. Tower- Nothing more than a gathering place for players to point, dance, and wave at each other. The vanguards are virtually useless once youve either purchased the legendary they offer, or gotten a luck rng roll and gotten the same or better gear as a reward. Anything you get from the speaker is absolutely pointless for nothing more than cosmetic. The factions are pointless as well you have just as good a chance to get their gear in rng roll as you do doing bounties and faction levels to buy them. The cryptarch is a joke and nothing more. Gives you useless gear from any engram from green to purple. If youve ever gotten a exotic engram congrats youve won destiny. Why is there a lady to buy ships from? They serve as much good as the speaker. Cosmetic. Vanguard quartermaster sells weapons but it stays the same for months at a time and once you get a good rng roll they just take up space. Bounties are the same every day just on a differemt planet. Once youve gotten full raid gear and good guns youve no need to do them anymore, it just becomes boring and repetitive. The vault is severely lacking in space atleast for the side of materials, why you would need vault space for armor ive literally no idea. Eris is worthless to you once youve gotten murmur and hit 32. No real need to lvl her at all. Xur is the only thing good in the tower and most of the time he either sells the same thing or has worthless gear. You get better gear from the raid than you do from him half the time. Every now and then he has a good gun but thats not often. Out of the tower youve got 4 planets that as far as playability go are completely the same, patrols are the same, strikes are the same, missions are the same. Either go here kill this or go here and kill alot of this while the little ghost scans something. Hes literally nothing more than an HP Deskjet scanner and locksmith, serves no other purpose to the game what so ever. Unless you have bounties to do which as said are nothing more but repeats of each other with no real reward but leveling vanguard you really dont need, theres no point in spending time on the planets. Strikes- completely repetitive. Pointless. Un-rewarding. Highest lvl you can play on outside of the nightfall is 28 but you have to have the dlc to even do that. So to anyone above lvl 30 its nothing more than another story mission with random people. Raids: VoG- now its nothing more than a time killer between weekly resets. With TDB release it made all gear/weapons from this raid obsolite. The only reason to play is to kill time between resets and hope you get that lucy roll for an exotic or the even less possible.....the mythoclast. Other than that, boring, and obsolite. Crota- run it once a week to get gear. Once you have the gear run it until said gear has full level. After that, same as vog, playing for that slim chance of an exotic roll. But once HoW releases the gear will probably become just as obsolite as VoG. In total not only is one of them worthless but both have very slim chances for anything good. Not to mention they are COMPLETELY FILLED with bugs. And worse these bugs arent even being fixed nor even noticed by bungie or developers. Pretty soon the raids will probably crash from all the bugs forcing them to be fixed or with how lazy and arrogant bungie and devs are, simply removed from the game. Weekly heroic/nightfall- strike with more bullet sponges. Nightfall is pretty much the best chance at getting anything good outside of raid gear. Once you run it once no need to do it again, you wont get anything anyway after the first run. All in all PvE is a pointless, repetitive, boring grind for gear and weapo s that will either become obsolite, leveled, or even nerfed. PvP- It takes absolutely no skill to play this. The radar is constant unless you crouch (then it blinks every 3 seconds making you a little bit better camper) which eliminates any tactics beside run and gun. Nothing more than a campers wet dream. Full of shotguns mostly. The hit detection is absolutely horrible causing you to die when truelly you should have one but bungie blames this one on you and your internet (we know better than that bungie but nice try). If you melee your more than likely gonna kill trade but thats ok because remeber thats your internet not bungies fault (yeah right). The maps are terrible, CoD in almost every way. Not enough room for sniping or any sort of distance play except for mayb a few spots. Making shotguns and auto rifles the top choice but oh wait,....auto rifles are the top choice hince they MUST be op so they MUST be nerfed so people will (be forced) try pulse rifles. Very stupid logic bungie. There are crucible bounties but truthfully they take way to much time to complete and are in the end pointless after you get better gear. Speaking of which the reward system for crucible is absolutely pathetic. Whoever designed it or made the call for it to be applied should be fired. 20 kills no deaths = strange coin.....AFK+no kills+10 or more deaths= legendary or exotic? That was the single stupidest thing you put in this game bungie. I lost all respect for you just for that alone. The only thing crucible is any good for is exotic bounties. Other than that it is absolutely pathetic in everu aspect and could never become competitive. Its literally built for 7-13 year olds trying to learn more about this fps world, and its a very bad example. And all of this will become worse when HoW releases. Gear will become obsolite and more bugs will surface. Previous bugs will be ignored or continue to be ignored and will never be fixed. We as a community were robbed. Forced to pay for content already on disc. This game has not lived up to anything we were promised pre-release, and we wont be getting it any time soon. Theres no 10 year franchise possible for this game, it will not see a 3rd instalment and if it does, you wont make enough money off of it to even pay for half the cost of making it. Your reputation is tarnished, your greed solidified in gold. Bungie, activision....its the end of destiny and it hasnt even begun. The "fate of all fools" is clear. Its over for you. Oh and you can try to hide this post all you want. Ive got it copied and will repost everytime its taken down :) Written by (fatebringer47) Edit: you guys seem to think i hate destiny look at my profile i love this game. I play it all the time but this is how i feel about the game. Go watch the trailer to this game non of the things that are in the trailer are in the game. Thats the main problem with this game lack of content. There is a reason why we didnt have to download anything for the tdb it was already in the game.[/quote] You have a very long opinion....But I belive destiny will grow!

*wins game of the year.*

Will these " Destiny is dying." threads ever stop!

In your edit you say you love Destiny. In your OP you say Destiny is a pathetic joke. Which is it? Or are you just backtracking.

Shallow game made for simple minded folks that come directly from Call of Duty 49278. Destiny wasn't made for the core gamer that demands a story, replayablity, longevity, content, challenge. But those who log in to shoot brainlessly at level 6 mobs and feel like they've achieved something. A failure of a game. Nowhere near what was once promised by Bungie themselves. 2015 will demolish Destiny playerbase (which is already dropping by the second, especially since the dlc delay announcement) and its not something that can be recovered... who wants to come back doing the same fking strikes for blues when they've left the game for couple of months to play a new, fresh title? Bungie isn't showing the current amount of players still playing their game for a reason...
