[quote]There seems to be an overwhelming number of people bashing the critics that are disappointed with the game. A lot of "GTFO my internets" kind of flaming going on. But come on, really? Are we really so wrong that we're not entitled to our opinions? No. Grow up people.
I mean if you think this game is great, that's fine. I think it's pretty great too. But only in some ways. I just wish it was even better, like most of the other games that are around these days...
To be honest if Destiny is anywhere on your top 10 games of all time, you're not a gamer and you know nothing about how much better games can be than this. This is a tragedy. A multi million dollar disaster. Developers with MUCH lower budgets have made timeless and perfect games that can never be outshined by the likes of Destiny. There is no excuse for Bungie and Activision to pour so much money into this game and have it be so very glaringly obvious that it's poorly designed. If you think otherwise you really don't know jack shit about gaming. I'm sorry but it's true. Have fun on your mindless shooter while the rest of us go play Dragon Age next month, because it's actually a REAL RPG.

The world agrees with us. Why don't you? Oh wait, because you're just one of the millions of troglodytes who were conned into buying this ingeniously MARKETED but poorly designed game.
By the way, a list of some of my favorite games that actually have high scores from critics and are relevant to the FPS/RPG genre. Destiny averages about 7.5/10:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Prime Average over 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect average just about 9/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront and here's one for you "shared world shooter" people. 8/10
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront_II 8.5[/quote]
We all entitled to our opinion as we spent 70 bux on this game and over $100 if you got the dlc..So I guess we're ignoring the fact that Venus is a gas giant since we can all stand on it, but in this vein I found it frustrating when they took real places and "fanticized" them if you will. Venus shoulda been a dome that you can see thru or something. Also the enemies are the same thru out, lazy NPC coding and behavior. This game is pretty much Halo4+Oblivion minus a cool back story.

cuz wiki is super reliable. I guess I should slap my old astro professor in the face, but it has been my understanding for the past 20 years that humans cannot stand on Venus..like it's not solid. Nitpicking aside, thanks for the lol :)

I understand people are entitled to their opinion but what I don't understand is what makes the gaming industry so different to other industries like for example, movie or car industry. You see a film that didn't live up to hype or buy a car that doesn't run or handle like it does in the ads. Big business is what it is, and of them all I'd say the gaming industry is by far the most in touch with its market. To quote Bob Dylan you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. It's obvious this game is not for everyone but I think from what I've seen those that are angry or upset by this game are being way to sensitive assuming every aspect of the game would suit their needs. This totally unrealistic. In fact I doubt there will ever be a game released that pleases everyone.
