The author is obviously a fanboy, butt hurt because the internet is down grading his favorite game. See the Meta scores for The Last of Us and Diablo 3 Ultimate Edition. While there are a few off base reviews once in a while, the final score, and pure volume of the user reviews usually have it right.
Make no mistake about it. The Metacritic score for Destiny is legit. This game is exactly what the user score reflects. Move over Titan Fall and Watch Dog. There is a new nextge...
This is a fanboy review. As a social game it's limited in scope, as a loot/progression game it's even more limited in content, and as a shooter it's incredibly average.
I stayed up late and sunk 4-6 hours playing this game thinking it's going to wow me and deliver something I haven't seen. That moment never came.
Planetside 2 is more epic and social and it's FREE. Borderlands 2 and Diabo 3 are better at loot and progression. Destiny is...
Games of this type, knows how to make the grind fun. Huge amount of varieties in weapons and enemy types, random generated levels, exciting loot drops, even perma death HC mode to add to tension and thrill of achievement.
Destiny has none of that. After level 8 I'm bored as hell because the grind is totally in my face.
This game is another Titan Fail.
Massive hype, followed by massive crash in interest from the gaming public.
There is a huge problem with this game. It's called Borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 is simply better. More weapons variety, more enemy variety. More action on the screen at once. More of everything.
If it weren't for the online component, the base BL 2 game, even without it's expansions, will walk over this 500 million failure.
With that I can see this game turning into another Titan Fall. A massively over hyped game that starts out strong in the 1st...
Max settings easily. I'll pick this up so I can finally play a Xbox game in full 1080p on my TV.
The PS4 OS and hardware totally gimped the 8 GB to be a none factor. If a large portion of the RAM isn't locked up and reserved for the totally useless task of game recording, then we might have something. Apparently some idiot at Sony thought this feature would be super important to the "social gaming console". But 1080p and 60 FPS is not.
Any PC gamer knows the answer to this question. Steam Sale.
It'll be $5-15 by X-mas.
So what is the point of this in terms of gaming. Am I ever going to need to shine a flashing on a T-Rex? Nope.
You know what's impressive? The next Witcher game running 1080p native @ 60 FPS. Or if they're going to throw words around like "revolutionary" make that Witcher in 4K @ 60 FPS. Now that's revolutionary.
They're charging you for the privilege of being able to game online and some other needless nonsense, like cloud save and auto patching.
On top of that awesome deal, they sprinkle on indie trash that are worth $5-$10 on Steam.
I used to be a proud PS Plus subscriber on the PS3 but right now I'm starting to feel that paying a full year for this at lanuch was a huge mistake.
Lets face it, if weren't for online gaming access nobody would bother with PS4 Plus. The value that was inherent in a PS Plus sub no longer exists on the PS4 and thats a damn shame.
That is great news. I'm glad they didn't abandoned this game so soon like they did with the PS3 version. Now it's worth buying.
I was just about to pick this up when I realized that the PS4 edition won't be getting the new patch or seasons and ladders.
This totally ruined it for me. Seasons and other related features are the life blood of a game like this. Without future support Blizzard is leaving the console version to rot and die.
NO THANKS.
On the surface the console edition sounds awesome. Until I realized that it won't be getting the new patch and seasons which totally murdered the purpose of games like this.
This is like CoD without the rankings and achievements. Enjoyable if you only coop with a group of friends, but not being able to connect with other players in competitive ladders totally blows.
Blizzard is leaving this game to die on the console again.
The best thing about this headset is the price. Other than that, the sound quality is absolutely shit and the 7.1 is a freaking joke. They should've branded it 30.1, not like you'll able to notice more than 3 channels.
I was looking for a decent headset for my PS4, this isn't it.
I wish they would launch an attack that would remove all the crap indie games on the PS4 with retail ones. That's what I really want for my money.
I'm going from my experience with successful crowd funded garbage like Day Z and Starbound. These were great games with grandiose concepts which were left abandoned because the devs became millionaires through crowd funded success. To this day, Day Z still isn't complete, and there is possibility that it never will be unless a new dev team step in.
Star Citizen have all makings of being another Day Z. The project's goals are nebulous and Chris Robert is constantly...
This game is a funding black hole. They'll never release it as long people keep on donating, since there is no market pressure to make profit from the finished product.
Awesome.
Exactly my thoughts on Destiny.
