I bet you this is how A$AP Mob breaks up...
So wait you can hide here trashing Destiny with the Hip Hop cloak and cant deal with somebody replying to that?, come on son.
Listen just because you who never played it dont have an appeal for it, doesnt mean the game is bad. Its preference but facts say
Its a success, it helps gaming, it is already an Iconic "Brand" in just 24 hours.
A$AP Rocky "man, i made more money than u bitch ass ferg"
A$AP Ferg "Well, I got to be on Ariana's album, so...."
If you actually read posts in this thread, you would see that I said that it's fun, it's just nothing special
Am I suppose to love it or some shit? Cause I'm not going to
This isnt TitanFall this is an ever evolving MMO like project, guess you think this is just a regular shoota.
This is the Jay Z of gaming, it will be here forever.
I guess you could look at it like that, I think that's a pretty limited framework to base expectations off of though, especially considering what makes WoW and Borderlands special is much more than that.
Borderlands has a completely different feel, and I don't feel like it is necessarily superior. You see a lot of similar things in both games, as we obviously know it was the biggest influence for the game, such as the whole armor/shield/iforgetthelastone trinity being arc/void/solar in Destiny, but implemented completely differently. From the complaints I see, people have pretty much set it so that if it doesn't do something like Borderlands or Diablo does, it's shitty. I think the loot stream is pretty good (I haven't attempted any strikes thus far but I've randomly received a few awesome Warlock bands and stuff through regular play and quest rewards), and actually benefits from not being like Borderlands and stuffing your face with loot that you can't all have at once, on top of a bunch of stuff you don't want at all and waste time analyzing 10 parameters to see if it has some utility. Then again, I have been a heavy critic of the gun design from day 1. It doesn't inspire me, ESPECIALLY coming from Halo. It's the same few archetypes, and even the uniques look pretty bleh. Armor looks awesome though.
I think what fails to hold people's attention is the mission design you can sort of predict. Predicting the end of something takes away from what you get out of it at the end, and I think they leaned a bit too heavily on making them replayable than a spectacle. Doesn't bother me as much (I mean, if they add some variety, all people will say is "oh that's that carry that thing and protect it mission right there") but someone made a good point before about how levelling secondary characters is going to be fucking grueling. As a result, I think people are not given good enough reasons to care about the story.
I wouldn't say it's very rough, but the game has some clear weaknesses. It's a very good start, though, and I definitely believe in Bungie because they seem to be 300% on board with changing things for the better, and switching shit up often before they make you purchase Destiny 2.
It's just a regular shooter with light MMO elements that really don't work well
and it's not the Jay Z of gaming, it's the Master P of gaming

Seriously, the only time we get this much Salt is when Esch goes in on Nas or PD

He probably bought the Ghost Edition and wants to justify all that money spent.
Who said it had to be special?, this is the evolution of Halo thats it, they would of taken Halo exactly to how Destiny is if everything stayed like before.
Its pretty damn special that it will make a Billion dollars+ before the end of the year,
not many games do that.
Also remember People played this before release, sales prove IT made them love it not hold back on supporting it.
Yeah, it's got MMO (a primarily loot-based progression genre) elements with subpar at best loot progression. Have fun with that.
OT equivalent is shitty Marvel movie threads twice a day. It's no different.
But yeah, Gaming is that shitty. Complain about a game that's biggest sell is supposed to be long-term post-launch support in the first 24 hours of release brehs.
Every since the PS4 reveal, gaming turned into straight up GameFAQs, it's embarrassing, really.

That's what happens when you stan a videogame for years until it's release and it doesn't meet your expectations alot of people need just relax and play the game.
LOL

lesbehonest, Bungie got like Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3? That's a 3 hot game every 24 year average
So they're the Raekwon of Gaming
Except with more hits
Probably searched "Destiny" and saw the post Caco made
you are mad corny, irregardless of the quality of Destiny.

Of course, they hype things like the second coming of Christ all the time.
Dude, Bungie has been hyping this game for how long now? From the social aspect to the nitty gritty of character customization. Is it bad that I expected something a little more special from one of the best devs in the industry back in their heyday? It sucks that they have to fix these issues with a sequel when they're so fundamental to the type of game it's striving to be;they should already be there.
I've also been noticing a trend of devs half-assing their first installment of a prosperous, long-term franchise (Destiny has a 10 year plan) and drastically improving it in its sequels. It's like they focus most of their effort on advertising and marketing for the first installment, have people be mildly satiated just so the sequel looks so amazing in comparison. What happened to giving it all with the first game and seeing from there if it warrants a franchise. It's another reason why console gaming is so fucked at this point.
no idea whats up with him. he did those mellow tracks earlier in the year then nothing.
can i offer you this as a replacement?
It's all the new members.
I guess I've been on forums so long, I sort of look back and see these people as being me like 5-7+ years ago. Hot Or Not for a new generation.
This game is ever evolving, they will support this like an MMO even though its MMO lite,
Game is Fun man, but not by yourself doing story missions, this isnt one of those games
this is a true co-op experience.

Let's get this back to Hip-Hop albums,singles,moments that made you a fan of Hip-Hop ?
Nothing dusty about a higher plane of existence, my man.
The Chronic.
Dr. Dre/Death Row in general, really.
Kanye is the Valve of gaming. Sees little things here and there on steam and greenlight, buys them, gives them a pittance for their creative output, stamps their label on it and then portrays themselves as creative geniuses. Meanwhile, nobody but nerds have played their shit in public since 2006.

:dead:
That's another thing, the game leaked long before it was announced and we subsequently got any substantial information about it. 60% of the time between release and the announcement nobody knew wtf this game was really. And even still, they didn't put enough information out there. We were all complaining why they wouldn't say anything new about it.
Character customization definitely has nitty gritty, I don't think that's a legitimate complaint. I think that's definitely what also makes it notable gameplay-wise.. it's a heavily resource-management based shooter, in PvE and PvP unlike anything before, really. Items and skills siphon resources into reducing cooldowns along with the regular feed-into-another-skill type of stuff you see in every RPG. I think the subclass builds are pretty cool and super diverse as well without falling into typical healer/tank/etc. (which is super exciting because I'm tired of every game trying to be TF2) archetypes you see everywhere. Also armor looks dope, like I mentioned. It's pretty much only weapons that suck.
I agree with your last paragraph, but it's not exclusive to consoles either (most of the time these are multiplatform games too). I mean, PC is pretty much a breeding ground for fuck you pay me, and we'll see how far this game get type deals with Kickstarter in the indie scene and many other indie games taking this model from Minecraft.
