Destiny: A Broken Game with Broken Promises

One of the biggest defenses of this game is the old adage, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. There’s just one problem. Destiny is broken.

It is very slick, no glitches so far

irishyort3183d ago

Ive had a few enemys pop back a metre or so and restart the animation and 2 bad disconnects in crucible (I was on a 7 streak killing spree with fusion rifle and diconnection bought me back on with 0 in another match) but Im expecting this in the 1st few months

Clickbait article, very enjoyable game with many improvements over the first.

PapaBop3183d ago (Edited 3183d ago )

That's somewhat the problem though, that starter mission on the demo is on a completely different level to almost everything I've seen so far and I've reached max level. Granted I stopped and done a ton of side stuff so haven't progressed overly far in the story just yet so it should hopefully pick up.

Destiny 2 is going to be one of those games though, for those who get it, they'll absolutely love it, those who were put off for whatever reason or had major gripes in the original's game design, I haven't seen much in Destiny 2 that will change their mind. I loved the original and am loving my time playing so far but there will be a lot of these articles in the coming few days, partially due to what could have been better done but ultimately some people just need to accept that the game isn't for them.

I have been enjoying it so far. The EDZ is definitely a much better patrol area than anything in D1 imo. There is a lot to do and explore.

andybock3183d ago

Ha! Loving this game. Sick of negative articles on every game.

Darkstryder3603182d ago

It causes controversy and gets clicks, shares. Even if the sentiment is genuine there has to be a dark seedy motive lol!

GameHead853183d ago

Destiny 2 Was great for me, played the PC beta. Had no issues and it ran so smooth, so this time around, I preordered it for PC.

yomfweeee3183d ago

Stopped reading when the author thought said the original Destiny was supposed to last 10 years and that was something they never said. It was going to be a 10 year franchise, not one single game.

Jinger3183d ago

Its crazy how many people still believe that Destiny 1 was going to last 10 years haha That was never the case.

Dark_Knightmare23183d ago (Edited 3183d ago )

Right I can't believe there's idiots out there that still say that ten year crap especially this dude who is supposed to be a "journalist"

badz1493183d ago

maybe some were expecting it to have lasting appeal like Team Fortress 2. that's a 10 year old game, right?

CorndogBurglar3182d ago

They could have expected that all they wanted, but that is not anything Bungie ever said.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast629d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole629d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

Profchaos630d ago

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_629d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981629d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140629d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85629d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj629d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake629d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn629d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg629d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07629d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom629d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac629d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake629d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark629d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde629d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125629d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
