I avoided a day one purchase because nothing appears to have really changed. This is essentially a DLC game (In fact, on XB it shows up as DLC achievements)...
No way I'd ever pay $60 or more for a single DLC.
Bungie made ODST into a game after realizing it was too big as just DLC. They charged less than a normal game for it though...
Oh, how greedy Bungie has become. Their perfect partnering with Activision.
$350 CDN each. Expensive, but I figure they will last me half the generation.
Personally I really like the 2 x 4TB Seagate pocket drives I use. They are USB powered therefore not needing external power supplies. Absolutely awesome.
Tell Tale can just go away.
Last year I bought the season pass for Tales of Borderlands and Game of Thrones. Less than a month later they made a bundle with the games for less cost, and they haven't even delivered the full season for either game yet and the games have gone on sale several times.
They get my money only when they have all the season out and the game goes on sale.
Platinum Games just keeps upping the ante. In the last 6 years they have been my favourite developer. Bayonetta, Vanquish, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, hopefully the new Transformers, and hopefully Scalebound!
So you've played Dark Souls III?
Your opinion is entirely based on playing one of the games and maybe the last generation version of the other.
That is purely a fanboy comment without any basis of fact until after Dark Souls III is released.
I don't care whether it was unfinished or unpolished.
Both mean the games are incomplete.
Add Tell Tale to the list as well with Tales of borderlands and Game of Thrones.
I spent $30 on each for the season pass. And the content for the season pass has still not been delivered even though both games have gone on sale several times.
Captain obvious has just entered the building!
Too bad Sony wasn't thinking this with DriveClub, UbiSoft with AC Unity, Microsoft with Master Chief Collection, EA with BF4, etc.

There is nothing wrong with being an Apple fan. But, in reality, I don't see many people outside Applenation buying this.
I see this the same as PlayStation/Google fans, Microsoft fans (myself), and Apple fans going forward. Really, the three are dominating the world of consumer computing, gaming, and media in different ways but they are all setting up devoted fan bases that will support pretty much anything they put out.
And really that's all that should matter.
Two words...
Apple Fans.
"It's a whole new platform of gaming".
True... But so is Valve's VR and Oculus Rift. It will find a niche. But, I doubt people will want it for every game.
I think the reason they have not yet released GT is Morpheus. They will release Morpheus in Spring, and then announce GT for the holidays. PS4 fans would explode as I think Morpheus would be the perfect driving sim game.
It really doesn't matter who is responsible for the story changes.
From a gaming perspective it is one of two things I feel made this game from a "must have" to a "who cares" if I own it.
Graphics in Destiny - Solid
Sound in Destiny - Solid
RPG Elements - Solid (But ruin the story progression)
Environments - Solid
The story and the ability not to progress the story without repeating and grinding...
@LeoDDestroyer
Yes, RPGs have grinding "sections" typically, but Destiny requires grinding all the way thru.
What was I expecting?
I was expecting a very good shooter campaign, with a very good story and a whole whack of MP levelling if I chose to do that.
Instead, I got levelling through the campaign that made me play every single story level 3-8 times, and was forced into MP to supplement that levelling quicker.
I bought the game, and was majorly disappointed.
The fact of the matter is Bungie delivered a solid game and gameplay but it was broken both from story and from a levelling and loot perspective.
This game is nothing but a lab rat grind. You can't proceed with the story until your character is at certain levels and you can't level solely single player without repeating level many, many times or by going to the MP side.
Bungie is rip...
They better figure this out before they drop the price to $20 and I decide to buy it(maybe)!
"Destiny 2 was originally planned to release this month"
Instead, Bungie decided to make some DLC and charge the full price of a game.

The definition of exclusive on that site seems really skewed to making PS4 look good.
First, it doesn't include all of the games available on the consoles, it is only discs that sell in-store.
Second, its definition of exclusive is more like "What does not ship on X1". Many games are on other platforms like XBox 360 (Arcania, SF IV, Risen 3, Legend of Kay), PS Vita (Tearaway, FFX), and PS3 (Beyond, Deception IV, Journey,...
Not really concerned. I see Tomb Raider as a single-player experience and I am fine with that.
Not every game has to have a compete level with my friends.
A realistic racing simulation should have realistic environments. Having tracks rain that do not ever get rain is completely unrealistic.
