Wut? Demo/beta/alpha content doesn't count as game content in the final release now? Seriously do you guys think when you post or does it just kind of vomit onto the screen?

you guys are liking this game all wrong. playing the levels?
That's just because you're counting loading times
When you say "I've played this game longer than any other shooter this gen" and it was almost all exclusively during free alpha and beta phases, yeah, I don't see how that time of free gaming on the hottest new game should be compared to the time you spent on another retail game.
I never said alpha CONTENT doesn't count as game CONTENT. When did I say that at all? You're making up words to put in my mouth.
It's a plus in the sense that the game is more fun because of the community aspects and Co-op fun. Game is no where near as fun solo.

The expectation of Bungie to at least make the game as good as Borderland is too high?

Why not? Game time is game time. I got the majority of my fun out of TitanFall's beta and I don't look back and say, "oh that doesn't count."

Yeah.. Seriously I think Destiny is good but I prefer Borderlands. (not joking)

Agreed. I hope D2 is current gen only. If we're still being held down by last gens ancient hardware in two years, I'm going to be pretty pissed.
Yeah. Big sites never succumb to the AAA hype

That was a good read. I'm surprised how divisive the enemy A.I. and PvP impressions are, but I think the treadmill impression is where I was at by the end of this morning before switching back to my breh and I tackling PvP.
I do get it in some way. People are having fun, asking questions to their difficulties, with a lot of people coming in and out as they do their sessions. It is a bit of a buzzkill if you're flying high from your session and see someone bummed from their own sessions. But I've never seen such nasty attitudes in an OP before to anyone bringing up a less than ideal experience. Something like the above impressions would get met by 'they fell for hype' and 'maybe they should just play/cover a different game'. I don't believe its everyone or even the majority of the community acting like that, but they are letting it happen for whatever reason.
It will be interesting to see the likely hypocrisy in The Evil Within thread or Dragon Age Inquisition one.
Not to say I agree with your premise, Gamespot said they beat the game in 16 hours. Link contains the final boss fight for those who don't mind spoilers.
It's fun. It evokes the same kind of awesomeness as Halo Reach Firefight mode but with powers, leveling, and loot. Looks and sounds good.
But that's like all it seems to be so far at level 6. Haven't done any Strikes though. The story missions are literally mini FFs/horde mode. Go here, activate ghost, fight and defend from the fallen. Fun as hell when it's hard with a buddy.

I lol'd at that. It's a pretty cool game and I've had fun, but yeah lots of loading time. I knew it wasn't as epic as they made it sound like after the beta, but playing with friends is making it pretty fun. 7/10 for me.
I guess that's fine if that's your personal metric. You can count however you want I suppose.
The sp is so barebones. It definitely isn't the meat from what I'm feeling at the moment. Does the mission variety change up further into the story mode?

Bit it doesn't have Bungie gunplay. That's the problem.
You telling me this games feels like Halo? Not even close.
Not joking either, Borderlands and its sequel are infinitely more fun to me than Destiny. Destiny is almost completely devoid of personality and charm. Great shooting mechanics though.

Why don't you explain what is lacking then, instead of just demanding it doesn't have good gunplay?

Yeah, Destiny just feels so empty. Dinklage is the worst possible first impression and, so far, the story hasn't improved. Hearing from people farther than me...that never changes. Borderlands knew what it wanted to do and it did it. Destiny...well...makes me excited for Borderlands 3! Steal the good parts, leave the awful presentation, win win.
Wolfenstein?

It's not shooters I hate. I absolutely loved Wolfenstein TNO and Metro Redux, both games that likely had a combined budget of less than 10% that of Destiny. Despite that both games managed to bring substantial, polished single player campaigns that felt light years ahead of Destiny's steaming pile of crap that passes for a campaign. I'd say this is not a game you'd buy unless you're really into coop or PvP multiplayer. Even if you like shooters but you need a story and a campaign set in a fully realized world around your shooting mechanics, do not buy Destiny.
LOL you expect even lower scores?
Hype can go both ways. Either "it didn't live up to the hype" or "we expect great things down the lane. There must be some.".
Wolfy had moon gravity on the moon, Destiny has earth gravity on the moon. Wolfenstein wins.

Are they a big reviewer?

The answer is quite obvious.
Gonna be tough to be the best RPG released so far this year.

I wonder if the news of how much Destiny has already sold
will prompt some reviewers to take more time with the game before publishing their verdict since it seems like regardless what scores this game gets it is going to move a ton of units. I don't necessarily think them taking more time with the game will fundamentally change their opinion of it, but it'll be interesting to see...

Diablo stole my time away from it, but I will be returning, but Diablo is better just because of controls.
I like how he took off about 80% of the boss' health by standing still behind a pillar while shooting it in the face. Fortunately the remaining add came in to save the day!
