Really. The tactics they use are more common in F2P games.

They get rid of the planetary materials time sink, they add the glimmer time sink. Rise, repeat.

This is something the minority who does the raid doesn't understand from the majority who doesn't. Delegating key aspects of the game, like the story and raid teaming is segregating the players.

A lot of people blame it on Activision, other people blame it on key people at Bungie, who left while Destiny was in production. I am inclined to believe the later, and add that they replaced those people with interns who had no idea what they're doing. But Bungie doesn't have a clean track record. Let's remember they…

Another thing Kotaku keeps mentioning is the raid, which is out of reach to most players. There is no matchmaking, so people who don't have a team of co-workers working in the videogame industry, with similar schedules, gaming systems and goals, will have a difficult time experiencing it.

There are many ways to make boss fights interesting. The closest thing to an interesting boss fight in the game is a lower level boss called the Fallen Walker (I call it the spider tank). The legs are its weak spots, once you destroy a few legs, it will expose and even weaker spot. It would be even more perfect if you…

If WoW would have pull off the roadblocks Destiny has for leveling so early on, people would have dropped subscriptions in hordes.

I seriously think Kotaku dropped the ball with Destiny's review. Destiny is not a game for everyone. While a few will find it brilliant, many will find it a pile of shit. If you don't like mindless, repetitive grinding, linear levels, no time to corral players with similar goals, you'll waste your money.

A player-made solution to plug one of the game's holes. Like the story, also requires you to get out of the game.

I like to play Crucible too, but with the abysmal drop rate, I'm afraid I'm going to get wrecked by all the raid players when Iron Banner comes by. The raids ate fun, but without matchmaking, they are excluding me from them.

Enter the Xur Upgrade System, a baffling, infuriating feature that's left me scratching my head and wondering what they were thinking.

They have a cap for marks, and that didn't stop them for putting another roadblock on top of the marks, the so called "commendations". They probably think it's fun to frustrate players by moving the goalpost, and see them coming for more.

Destiny is not an MMO. MMOs have trading, competent in-game communications, tons of content, tons of character customization. The only thing Destiny is bringing from an MMO are the parts that suck.

The problem is that Destiny "fixed" the requirement of boring yourself to tears grinding planetary materials, only to switch it to glimmer grinding. It seriously shows they don't get what is making the game a drag.

Sony doesn't even care to drop the price of the PS4, as Microsoft recently did.

Reason #42 I'm holding onto a PS4 purchase. My PS3 is doing just fine for now.

You weren't the only one.

You guys are spoiling the plot here! People who haven't played the game, don't read this thread! LALALALALALALALA!

Boo!
