Two to three stars.
A 3/5 would be right on.

Feels like a 3/5 to me based on Jeff's tweets/stuff he's said on the Bombcast and other content. Seems like his main criticism is the same one he had for vanilla Destiny: the mechanics are solid and fun, but just not enough variety in the base content.

I wonder what he expected. I could've called that one.
I guess some people are really into collecting their AK's though.
Is there even some sort of raid to gear up for?
The nine reviews so far, at least on Metacritic, are largely from sites I've never heard of. And IGN Italy or whatever.

Yeah, I saw the average and was all "are you serious," and then I saw who they were from.
so what you're saying is the shooting is g--*screeching noise* *sledgehammer thumps* *whistling kettle* *sound of man weeping* *explosion*
*cue laugh track here*
One of those reviews went up on March 8. Wasn't that the day the game was released, and Ubisoft didn't send out any review copies pre launch...?

Push Warren sign at WWE Roadblock!
Going by the picture of a TV with a black Wii on the screen that Jeff posted a short while back I'm guessing Nintendo 2005.

it'll probably be a 3 but I'll say 2/5.
Sounds like a GotY contender

Yup, finished it today and a 3/5 is the perfect score.
I'll never understand loot games. "Here's a slightly improved version of your shitty weapon that you've been using for the past 2 hours. Play 2 more hours and it will further get slightly better." Just give me the good guns and impress me with your level design and enemy encounters. I'm glad in a way I don't have that brain defect. I'm glad my brain isn't wired like that. It's probably why I really can't enjoy most modern AAA games.

What a weird thing to say.
I get it in games like World of Warcraft and Everquest and the like because the new loot looks cool and it's all about showing that cool loot.
Guns don't look cool. I'm sorry to unveil this fact on everyone.
This is the most wine sniffing games critic post i've ever read

LOL @ Jeff and Dan continuing to ignore the new super Mario Bros tile set in Mario Maker.
I wonder what's the reactions from fans of that game.

It's almost like he's trying to be Jeff Gerstmann or something.
you talking bout ethics in video game journalism?

I like a few of the guns in Destiny but that's the only loot shooter where I actually care about the look of the weapons.

Well that's mildly insulting.
Progression like that has its place. In some cases if a game like Destiney were to give me all its special guns right off the bat a lot of the nuances would be lost to the player. They might fail to see the value of why this particular gun gives free reloads on head shots but another gives health regen they likely have something to do with the play style associated with that weapon type. I never used the free level up stuff in WoW when I played because that progression to the level cap taught me about how I should be roughly playing that class. Sure I could read a guide online but it never really feels the same. Admittedly a lot of games just use progression as check box to fill in, but when done right it can be an incredibly useful teaching tool.
The numbers get higher.

pretty much every other aspect of that game can be torn apart, but the art design is pretty on point

It's like when you'd slowly bike up a high hill, to then quickly go down it. The moment you get a cool weapon and crush enemies giving you trouble is meant to be satisfying. Until the roll out of stronger enemies, anyway.

Yeah, Bungie dropped the ball on a lot of things moving from Halo to Destiny but they at least managed to retain good art design.
What if that does nothing for me because I am dead inside?
Well I just formated my PC to re-install Windows 10.
Everything is up and running except that I realized, once I got back into windows, that I actually formated the wrong SSD drive lol... oops... I only lost game installs so it's not a big deal, I can just re-download everything on steam but still lol...
Also wtf... Is it me or you can't download the Tweetdeck Windows app anymore? Wtf? Since when? I don't want to use the web version...

I couldn't disagree stronger, but hey, opinions, and stuff.
Don't get the variety complaints though. Never have. It's a shooter. What the fuck did you expect?
Also it's way better than vanilla Destiny was, it's not even close. Vanilla Destiny had the good mechanics, but the game designed around it was the grindiest garbage of all time. Have fun farming spinmetal for 2 hours, fucker.

Even if it's a shooter people should be allowed to expect more variety in mission and encounter design than what's there now. That seems to be the most common complaint against the game. I'm about ready to give up on the game myself, it's just boring to me now.
What if playing video games with other people just reminds me that I'm all alone In a cold and uncaring universe?
