Nuff said ^^

The only thing I don't really understand is everyone saying "you have to play the game for 15 hours for it to get good", or "the game hasn't even started to introduce its universe". Imagine playing Mass Effect for 15 hours before anything starts to happen, or the game reaches its potential (spoiler alert, it doesn't, as the game builds a fascinating universe in the first few hours of gameplay). It's also like saying "Well, GTA V can't be properly reviewed yet because heists and zombies haven't been released yet." That's so wrong. A game should be shipped as a complete title when it gets published. DLC should just expand the main storyline, or add nuanced options to the multiplayer. Downloadable content should NEVER be necessary to comprehend the storyline of a game. I paid $60 for GTA V that will have more than twice the content of Destiny even once Destiny releases all its DLC. I appreciate an open mind when it comes to reading reviews. You need to be able to form your own opinion about an entertainment title, but at the same time you cannot discount everyone else's opinions simply because you disagree with them. Typically in regards to a game, an opinion is backed up by something vaild. Just don't be an idiot.

I kind of liken it to WoW. How much content did that game have when it was released? How repetitive were those quests? Now look what its become. Even if you aren't a fan of WoW, it's safe to say that it is a huge success in the genre. I think people are looking at Destiny like it supposed to hit the ground running with as much content and playability as WoW has [u]now[/u]. I always look and see what reviewers have to say as well as other gamers. My buying decision isn't based on them, but just to see what kind of buzz is being generated. Both player and critical reviews for Destiny are pretty polarizing. I can see how they might find faults with some things about the game, but the negatives don't really effect me personally from enjoying the game. I enjoyed the beta and I'm enjoying the full release even more. From what I understand, reviewers don't really have a long time to review a game. They play it, review it and move on. Again, this is my understanding based on things I've read. A game like Destiny, to me, can't really be reviewed like a typical beginning, middle, end type of game. I think Destiny is a solid foundation to build upon. The game is barely over a week old and technically not even done as far as content goes, and even that will be ongoing. Regardless, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and don't typically post on forums. I think most of us who are enjoying Destiny for what it is and the possibilities of what's to come, are too busy playing it to bother posting about it! At the end of the day, it all comes down to if [u]you[/u] are enjoying it. If so, congrats! If not, sure, voice your opinion about it, then either wait until the game has more content, or sell/trade and move on, I guess.

Is anyone else not getting bounty leads from the postmaster? How do I get them?

If you don't like what somebody says don't listen to them, don't generalise all reviewers because you got butt hurt by a few honest reviews

I read this expecting to see someone immature complaining about how much game critics suck because they didn't give a game they liked a score that they felt it deserved, but this was pretty mature and well written. You'll definitely get criticized for posting this as many will ignore your admission that the negatives pointed out are valid; however, ignoring reviews from now on [i]because they have proven not to be in line with your interests[/i] is a pretty good reason for doing so and more should probably think that way. If you've found that review scores consistently didn't reflect [i]your thinking[/i] then they aren't terribly useful [i]to you[/i]. Good work, Guardian.

So you don't want to look at game reviews any more because they disagree with you? What a tool. You do know reviews are a well structured OPINION right? Just because someone writes a review and you disagree doesn't make the review wrong. Ten people could all write a review of the same thing and come up with ten different ratings and all be perfectly valid in their reviews. Reviews are and always have been a guide. It is baffling that it has taken this long for some people to work that out. I mean what does someone else's opinion matter to your own opinion anyway? Are you really that shallow that you wouldn't play a game you liked the look of just because a reviewer said it was bad? If the review is poorly written ignore it, if the general consensus is that the game is bad across the board then that tells you something, but in all cases you may be the odd one out that loves a game most other people hate. You don't let other people sway your own opinion like some sheep. It isn't rocket science!

Maybe they just don't like it? I personally give it a 6/10. Very generic. A rip off of Diablo, Borderlands, Warframe, and Defiance. Coming from a guy with 52 platinums.

Every game is Repetitive if you think about it

You can choose not to take game reviews seriously anymore, that's perfectly fine. Though I don't think the reviewers should be discredited for giving this game average scores. There's really nothing new in this game. Perhaps it's new to you because you have little experience with this sort of game, but not to me. Neither is it new to the critics who have surely played dozens of "loot" games before. Games like Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Diablo, Warframe, and WoW I've had a lot of experience with. Destiny is essentially Halo with the mmo elements and "gear treadmill" that Blizzard perfected in WoW. The enemies in the game are even identical to the Covenant in terms of their mechanics and styles. You've got your little annoying Dregs/Grunts that can be killed in 1 hit and run around pillars and rocks the whole time. You've got your Vandals aka Jackals who are slightly tougher and like to snipe. Then you've got your Captains/Elites who have shields and can knock your health down if they smack you. The Hive are a lot like the Flood in terms of how they try to swarm you in battle. You can even see Brutes and Hunters in a few of the other enemies. There are even enemies with swords who charge at you while invisible. As for the gear system, it's straight from games like WoW, Diablo, or any other loot based game. Is this a fun game? Yep. Am I addicted to it as of now? Yep. Is this the game that was going to revolutionize the FPS genre? Sadly, no.
