God, I'm getting so sick of this word. It seems like anything a developer mentions, ever, about anything suddenly turns into a promise. It's rivaling the "War on..." crap that normal media drowned us in last decade.

ノ彡┻━┻Yes, that's really my only beef with this article. The flaws he lists are real, but the "promise" thing is just stupid.
Tone-policing isn't doing anything here. We know what he means.

Tbh I agree with him.
Watch Dogs is a piece of shit rehashed modern day AC by ubisoft.
Thief which I haven't actually played but from what I've observed is another massive dissapointment
Driveclub.... I'm still waiting for my PS PLUS EDITION DAMMIT. It's been a year and half already!!
Destiny oh destiny. The dude is pretty spot on. Aside from the excellent gun play, this game is probably the most repititive game ive ever played. And it's also probably my most played game. The expensive DLC with barely any content just makes it feel extremely soulless imo. Tbh why does every major game starting to feel like this? Killzone is the last major game ive played that hasn't tried to wring my pockets dry. And yet, I find myself coming back to the game. And enjoying it (aside from the usual raging and bashing) Whether if that speaks towards my weak will or something else I don't know. Oh well. It's not as if what I say changes anything
The rest of the games im either not familiar with, not played or didn't follow
Wizards and shit. Peter Dinklage yawning through v.o sessions for millions.

The end
We may like the game but every single Gaffer I played with here has complained about something about this game that Forbes mentioned. Even if you didn't follow the development, we can all agree the game's story and world is quite small and underdeveloped.

We do. And I'm not saying he's wrong. This specific word is just becoming a bit of a trigger for me.

just skip school and go play video games, none of those classes sounds too complicated. I'm sure there's a youtube video that can summarize whatever they are teaching in that numberology class or whatever.
Secret handshake
BUT THEY PROMISED!!!
Don't want to stray off topic too much, but levels don't really matter in Titanfall. It's like COD.

In regard's to Destiny's story: I think it's the least important thing. I want a lot more quality of life changes.

ya I bought the LE destiny for 99 dollars and what it's basically taught me is the same thing ive learned about other shooters with dlc... just wait for some type of special edition with map packs included for like 40 bucks....
Look at destiny, if you bought the game now, you could grind to level 31 in a few weeks/months, and you are no worse for the wear. depending on RNG you could be as powerful and have as much fun as anyone who payed double.
definitely will not be buying destiny 2 new.

Well, honestly ? For a Full Priced + DLC AAA shooter by the makers of Halo, I expected something else than F2P Warframe level of story line.
I don't think I'm alone in this case.
Considering what you can find on youtube these days, probably!
Learned my Control theory course off of YT, better than the lectures we had.

Calling for Patience & Time or Universal Remote.
...need to be destroyed.
Yup and extra range
Hey all, I picked up Destiny on the cheap a few weeks ago and just got my first character to 20. Should I pick up The Dark Below at this point? Is it going to make the road to gearing up any easier? Or is that not going to matter until I reach max gear level for the base game?
Also, I don't really...MMO, so any tips on what I can do to quickly become competent now that I can't really solo my way to victory anymore would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

To be fair, I bought the digital guardian edition for 90 and got my money's worth and more.

Yesterday was the first day I didn't play Destiny in a long time.
Worked from 9am to 2am this morning. Now back at work.
The good news is... I pretty much dominated an insane day of work and the weekend will be some (hopefully) awesome IB time. Thank you Tempered Buffs.

Without question. As I said, these issues are pretty much indisputable. As I always say, the most amazing thing about Destiny is its potential. Think of all of our main issues - story, some basic gameplay/UI stuff (e.g., more vault space, accepting missions through app, better loot system, more varied locations, better clan/communication system, better matchmaking). These are EASILY fixed in updates/sequels down the road. Destiny 2 should be the game of forever, really.
You can currently reach level 31, but not 32 without the DLC. It adds more daily bounties for more XP, quests that give XP and one that gives level 31 gloves. Sometimes the daily story mission or weekly heroic / nightfall are DLC missions and require it to complete, same with the weapons and armor Xur can sell on weekends.
My money is on universal remote, P&T has made two appearances already if my memory's right, and Universal Remote would be the perfect tool to make people angry/curious over the weekend
But you're ignoring the 4 months of fun most of us have already had with the game.
I'm hoping Destiny 2 lives up to the potential. Hope they take everything they learned from this game and make it better. I want a more cohesive story and world. and give us more PVP maps, dammit.
That sounds like a yes to me then, Ok, thanks for the info!

Say anything else you want about the game good or bad, but let's not pretend they didn't promise an "epic" story. Hell, it says "rich cinematic storytelling" on the back of the box lol.

I like to do the math on it like this.
Bungie says I've played the following:
Titan: 13d 5h
Warlock: 2d 6h
Hunter: 2d 21h
Total: 18 days 8 hours. (or just 440 hours). I've paid roughly 80 bucks to play the game. So by my match, I'm paying roughly 18 cents an hour for enjoyment.
I use this same "formula" for most games I purchase as a measure of if they are worth it or not.
That depends! Are you enjoying the game enough that you think you definitely will buy it? If so, there's no reason to wait. You might as well have access to all the content and gear. But:
No- the gear you can get from the vendors in game right now (the Vanguard should be your priority unless you primarily play PvP) will get you all the way to Level 31, which is more than adequate for everything in the game at the moment. The gear from the DLC raid is what you need to get to the current max of 32.
Considering you just hit 20, you'll be getting to ~25 with rares while working toward your first legendary armor piece (Vanguard Rank 2, 75 marks). Check out the guides in the OP are still mostly accurate with some small caveats to the formula- buy gloves and boots first from the Vendor.
edit: Good point made above- buy boots first, and you can get gloves as a quest reward if you do buy the DLC.
Play with GAF! Soon you'll be ready for Roc Strikes (a level 26 playlist), the Vault of lass on Normal (28 ideal, but 26 is completely viable), and Weekly Heroics (can be run at various levels for corresponding amounts of reward). Are you on PS4?

Yah... I mean the same thing could be said about any game, hell just wait a little bit longer and pick it up for $20 and probably have even more maps.
