So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
Whatever was in the past were basically golden.

What is of now is basically one whole piece of trash. So yeah, they should just burn whatever is left.

Halo: Reach wasn't a bad game, nor Destiny is. You have quite a huge misconception about what people overall think about the game. The people who complain about Destiny and post jokeful threats such as "I will return the game!" is merely a vocal minority of a much larger player base.

If Bungie doesn't get more than $500 million back on sales, they're in trouble. I'm surprised they even managed to stay afloat after Halo Reach because Halo Reach had it's price dropped in less than a month, at least in my town. Not to mention they released a demo because it wasn't selling. Try to find a demo version of Halo 3 or Halo 3 ODST or hell even Halo 4, they don't exist.

Destiny is badly designed and the story is badly written.

The gunplay is its only saving grace.

Instead, I want to show you that Destiny is actually a good game that suffers of specific issues that should have been handled better. Therefore, 9th October, I will publish an in-depth critical piece on the game to showcase my view. (I will post it on this forum)

I neither fear, nor despise.
>Brand new IP is a failure with critics and many gamers
>Hype for the second installment will be at an all time low
>Can't make a new IP till 10 years from now
>Staten, Marty, Tung, and many other key employees are gone
>Core gameplay probably can't be changed at this point
>The foundation for the story sucks and will not get any better (since when has a successful franchise ever started off with a shitty story?)

Just shut down the studio guys.

They can make a sequel to Destiny before 10 years, so they can fix issues.

The story is very lacking, but the grimoire cards show that they had a TON of lore originally in this game. All they have to do is actually put it IN the game now.

And Bungie has lost notable members, but not ALL of them. I don't expect them to be like they used to be, but I'm not going to pray for their destruction. the future isn't set in stone.

They're still going to take a hit if they decide to do that. A lot of people bought the game just because it was made by Bungie, but how many people will risk buying the sequel when the first game was a huge let down?

Hopefully the reviews and marketing are more truthful this time around.

Right now, Bungie is the Covenant Hierarchy during Halo 2.

Like a self fulfilling prophecy.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
The marketing is what will save Destiny. You guys forget that there are millions of casual gamers out there that'll play it and think it's fine.

They  still haven't gotten $500 million in the first few days since they lost a huge market on gamers with no internet and big families. It's even on all 4 consoles

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
I want to trade Destiny in for that $40 credit so bad.. but the only thing I can think of getting is Shadow of Mordor. I have four days left to decide.
