Never a more satisfying sound than the Halo 1/2 shotgun.

This is the most useful post I’ve ever seen on Gizmodo. Awesome tips!
I’m not calling your comments praise at all. I’m saying the kotaku posts themselves are doing that. I don’t know you at all and certainly not mad at you whether you still play or not. (hell I haven’t played for a long time but I’m considering giving it another go just to see what its like now for people who only…
It was a non issue that everyone, including Kotaku, blew completely out of proportion. I can’t believe it was a story.
That’s not at all my point, but good to know.
Take a look though. It’s all in the last 24 hours. I hadn’t make a destiny comment in about a year before yesterday. Just saw a deluge of praise for Destiny and it’s frustrating. We reward shitty practices that hurt consumers. We are proving to game companies that they should pay their marketing team more and their…
Agreed. That’s why I stopped giving Bungie and Activision more money after I spent $60 on an unfinished broken game. Because so many other people thought it was fine to keep rewarding that kind of business practice, the industry as a whole is going to continue to overfund their marketing teams and underfund the…
I’m talking about Destiny. So... are we agreeing that they are all using terrible business practices that hurt the consumer? If so, why does it sound like you are trying to be a dick about it? I’m fine if you want to say others suck also, but that doesn’t really go against my point. Destiny had a half a billion dollar…
I paid $60 for the vanilla game. How was I not ripped off? I didn’t buy in further because... I was ripped off, why the fuck would I do that? The subsequent DLCs actually removed content available to me, no weekly/nightly strikes, most of the PVP types removed. How was I not ripped off if it wasn’t complete and then…
How is battlefront the problem and destiny is not though? Destiny had a 500 million dollar budget. Instead of development they spent most of it on marketing. Instead of releasing a full game they pushed out a game with:
I can’t accept that though. Gamers as a whole are just people. How do so many people just agree that paying more and getting less is okay?
Yea, I’ve started buying old PS3 games again. It’s actually suprising how many 5-7 year old games still have active multiplayer. Probably dying out soon, but I’ll enjoy them while I can.
250 votes. I make the exact same comment about Destiny and got 48 comments calling me an asshole. I feel like Bungie must have a bigger PR control budget.
This makes perfect sense. I can even see that time being money, in some cases you can only pick 1. The problem with games like Destiny and Battlefront is that they made their entire budget back on day 1. Destiny’s budget was half a billion dollars and they were profitable on day1. And yet after the game was panned and…
God, where are you people getting this? The budget was spent. Of course it was spent. $500 million was for destiny 1 vanilla. It was mostly on bullshit marketing instead of actual development, they aren’t even pretending that isn’t true. Everything else has been funded by the cost of the new content. Literally NOTHING…
That’s all I really wanted. ;)
That’s just pure bullshit. I won’t even bother with you, but you are so completely wrong it hurts.
I’m sure some people think I’m a troll, but honestly I’m a lover of video games that has recently been disenfranchised. I feel like we should all be on the same side on this. I don’t understand the people defending the practice of shipping an incomplete game and requiring consumers to foot the bill for fixing it. I…
So is your point that we shouldn’t expect a finished game for $60? That being upset by needing to pay triple the original price for a game that still lacks some of the promised day 1 features is unreasonable? What do you gain from that? Why would you advocate that? I’m genuinely curious? Are you a game consumer, or do…
