Destiny - Discussion Thread

I like how you brushed aside story content when someone posted the exact details to debunk your opinion. Content is content, you don't just pick and choose to argue your position.

I didn't brush it aside I spoke the absolute truth. Nobody gives a damn about the story or the story missions because there is no point to them right now. Every single person has said the same thing about the story missions in the game there is no reason to do them aside from dailies for marks. It is something that most level 20 + players won't even bother to do. The only thing that matters at all is the raid and the strike
 
Am I the only one who does them over again for bounties?

Who is every single person?

Like you said its for dailies. So there you go, there is a reason to go back. Who doesn't like new "areas" to do dailies in?

More choice is better.
 
Yeah loot Cave 2 is ok got about 10 ingrams mostly blues and greens not going to spend hours on it.

The fact they have a sucky DLC means the game isn't going anywhere so Gear Grind to 30 and get bored to death.

I give a damn about the story and the missions and I've never said that so there goes your hyperbole and over exaggerations. You just like to argue for the sake of arguing. Apparently you're so conceited and vain you can't begin to imagine that there are those who play the game differently than you and also happen to enjoy the game. For my friends and those I play with the only thing that matters is are we having fun together. Destiny provides us fun in limited settings. Even if the raid and strikes weren't broke we wouldn't limit ourselves to destiny only and would continue to play a lot of the other games we do.

apparently your so narrow minded to know what 90% of the population who posts in any online forum says about the game and your opinion is the only legitimate one

Where did that 90% figure come from? You call yourself an engineer, right? That's not a rule of thumb, that's not a best guess. That is purely your opinion that you are trying to pass off as a legitimate argument.

Lets see here, I have actually looked at Unique posters and threads on different sources (Bungie forums, reddit, neogaf) and came up with a positive vs negative number, and its was 91.8% over 100 pages or forums posts, and no, im not bullshitting

How does the fps multiplayer have a lot to be desired? No kill streaks with helicopters to get cheese kills? 0.5 kdr constantly?

The PvP aspect is the main reason I play this. Lots of people are pretty good online here and I like battling it out with the top 5% that I've encountered. The top 1% guy was pretty damn good actually (Taken from destinytracker).

I top my team most of the time, but some of the people I play against there is no middle ground, its either they are really good, or they are very very bad.

If you came up with a positive to negative number, where is the sources to back it up? Surely you'll have some form of Member name, their post, as well as the positive or negative checked off in an Excel sheet. And remember, even people who enjoy the game will sometimes have negative posts and vice versa, so what is your "metric" to evaluating these posts?

Documenting everything is key as an engineer.
 
Wtf do you even do after hitting level 20? Game is pointless to me was fun for like three days.. Hopefully craigslist will get my money back

Its not, however like I said i havent done much with it since the initial outrage of people. That has calmed down on most sources and its either due to

A) the majority of people who complained initially stopped playing
B) They just stopped complaining

Okay, you should continue on with the amount of outrage now compared to before. Some people I know who initially hated it are actually really enjoying it now that they are playing with friends.

I can probably do that, Ill just check the usernames of people who were complaining often and see if theyre still active and what theyre posts look like now

Sounds good. What is the metric you are using to determine if they like it or not? Is there an option for somewhere down the middle? ie. enjoy the game but would like to see improvements and see the valid points against the game, dislike the game but would come back to play if Bungie smartens up etc.
 
I am really disappointed overall with the game, especially considering what it could have been, but I'm still enjoying myself while mostly playing solo. It just simply means I have lost trust in Bungie and they have a lot of work to do to win me back. Dropping Activision as their publisher would be a start...
 
I actually really like the idea of doing some crowdsource funding for Bungie to make the game they actually wanted to.. and somehow get their lead writer back.
 
I could totally see some of Bungie's talent jumping ship to form a new development team with the guys that left near the end of Destiny's development. That project could definitely be something interesting (especially if they go with a kickstarter-esque campaign).

Not sure about Bungie itself being able to break away from Activision and trying to crowdsource it themselves. I'm thinking Activision has some elite high level lawyers at their disposal.

And really, who knows. It's easy to point the finger at Activision for making Bungie release a 'starter pack' of content and then supplementing it with paid DLC packs, but this could very well be Bungie's decision. I'm not sure if there was a difference between the Blizzard/Activision deal, but it seemed like Blizzard kept a lot of their autonomy.

No details about the multiplayer "activities". Previous leaks showed 1 strike, 1 raid per expansion and that is exactly what was shown in the bug so id say its pretty accurate

WTF? No. You can't just say that things don't count. That's like saying $5 for a combo meal is a ripoff because all you get is the soda. Also, you said that it was $35 for 1 strike and 1 raid. That's also wrong. $35 is for the pass that gets you both expansion packs. You're spreading so much bullshit misinformation in this thread it's insane.
 
I was level 21 or so when I lost interest in the game a couple days ago. I think this is mainly a buddy game. I spent most of my time goofing off with a cousin. We were both on vacation so we could play for a reasonable 4 or 5 hours a day(as an old person its weird to imagine you guys sitting down and playing anything for more than that a day.). Once he and I went back to work I just didn't feel like playing the story missions by myself. Strikes and stuff it'll go find a party. Maybe I'm missing something but unless you invite someone you're stuck playing story solo which sucks ass. The story or what you see of it in the tiny chunks they give you is rifftrax bad. Peter Dinklage actually manages to irritate the shit out of me. His lines are so phoned in it's more enjoyable to just talk shit back at anything he says than to try and follow the story.

Multiplayer is fun I guess, again better with a friend. I got my money out of it more or less but I don't have any interest in expansion packs, dlc or whatever. It's like taking a large sheet of paper writing a story on 3 lines of it, then attaching 2 more blank sheets to and charging you an extra $20.

It's not a misquote. That's what you said.

You're intentionally lying to people to mislead them. You wanted Colonel Sanders to think that $35 gets him 1 strike and 1 raid. There's no two ways about that. You're lying and denying.

Your post that you quoted is NOT the reply you made to Colonel Sanders stating that $35 = 1 strike and 1 raid.

This is hands down my biggest gripe. Not the loot, not DLCgate, but the lack of a queueing/matchmaking system for story missions the way it works for strike missions. Borderlands got this right 6 years ago - perfect drop-in, drop-out co-op. Destiny with its 500mil budget couldn't be bothered. Trying to group up with randoms in the Tower is futile since fireteams are defaulted friends-only, and people are too ADHD to bother changing it. I always left mine set to public but no one ever joined, and my IRL friends were always playing at different times or on a different console platform.
 
Yeah, Vlad you bully, that $35 expansion pass is worth 2 strikes and 2 raids. Sheesh! :p

Seriously, though, I think Bungie would be crazy to still charge for those two DLC (for those who didn't purchase the extra expansion pass) with all of the bad press and accusations being made at them. At this point, since the main content isn't very indepth, anything being charged for so close after release will be viewed as 'substandard'.

Bungie could go and release the greatest expansion pack ever, fully fleshing out the story and including a plethora of new content - but if they go and charge for it only a few months after the skeletal content launch, there'll be many tears shed, and accusations that this content should've been in the full game.

I think best case scenario for Bungie, is to release small content updates and features (including common gripes like lack of voice communication, matchmaking), and save the first premium (with a pricetag attached) content for Spring or Summer 2015. Trying to push in paid DLC in 2014 would get ugly.

Im sure this is the quote. You meant each DLC not Expansion. People confuse Expansion with Expansion Pass which is $35. Mystery solved.
