Maybe the world would have a higher player count if the review scores weren't so low. The real disgusting part of the whole situation is Destiny is being held to a higher standard than any game ever. Could you imagine if COD was rated based on its story line? If Destiny is 6 then Killzone, with its pimp walking enemies, is a solid 3.
How is it weird to hate a corporation? Are you going to tell me you've never been riped off by a shithead corporation? Don't tell me you love all corporations and that its "weird" to bad mouth them. How do you know what another person's experience with Microsoft has been? You don't, and there's not enough room here to list the grievances myself and a lot of other people have with Microsoft.
Notice nothing you said had to do with comfort or gameplay. The authors stance on the touchpad seems a little biased. Simply spliting the button in half like Kojima did in MGS ground zeros makes it a 12 button controller, I don't know about you but I'll take the extra button over Rumble triggers any day.

So I'm guessing you'll be getting that new iphone that takes Duracells?
This whole situation has really destroyed what little trust I had in games journalism on the Internet. I don't know what kind of biased agenda these websites have but I do know they aren't for the gamers. It almost seems like they want the entire industry to fail. I want to ask some of these reviewers what deep, plot loaded, story driven FPS they will be playing tonight on there current gen systems?
@vishmarx
Wow, you dont know how wrong you are, people like you who are judging the game based off the beta are morons. Your talking about stuff you have no idea about, your little comment about "less than interesting variety in guns" makes it a dead giveaway. I bet you didn't know that a vender showed up 2 days ago who sells "exotic" weapons that are a tier above legendary? Probably not. It's really sad that people will miss out on this game becau...
Way to let some butthole lookin for hits on his website make decisions for you. I'm not saying the game is perfect but is in no way a 6 out of 10. I can't believe how whiny games journalism has gotten.
You have no idea how the game works do you?
I have yet to run into a situation where glimmer was a problem. Call me when they can get legendary weapons without vanguard or crucible marks.
Agreed.
I also dont think the people complaining about the loot have even touched a legendary weapon yet. This guy's opinion really sucks, I'm not saying the game is perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than a 3 out of 5. And while we're on the subject, isn't a 5 star rating system a really shallow way to rate games?
@mr. Bubbles
How can you say that knowing nothing about it? And don't tell me because you played the beta. I've personally never played a game that blends multiplayer and campaign together so well, I find myself jumping back and forth constantly. I can understand you hating Activision but dont hate the game.
Let me guess, AT&T dsl? Those guys are some serious rip-off artists. Try some cable internet, that 300mb will be downloaded before you can get a soda.
Yeah, can't wait for the "COD flipflops" advertisement. That should do a lot for gamer relations.
You must have done that at the perfect time, I traded in watchdogs about 3 weeks ago and only got 28 bucks and that was with 40% bonus trade in credit.
@Volkama
Good point.
It's more about letting them know I don't want yearly expansion packs sold at full retail price. Ah, and the map packs, goddamn motherfuckin map packs, one of the biggest reasons why COD is a turn off. I can assure you that is not a potential revenue stream I would even piss in.
How do you choose Tom Clancy over destiny?
For me
Destiny = dayone
COD = used
Win win. I support a new ip and flip the bird to Activision.
@lukas
If you want to talk about facts then you should point out the fact that beyond its an average game at best (70 metacritic score) and really doesn't deserve a remaster or even a rehash. It's not TLOU or diablo, in fact it would easily be the worst game to get a crossgen release. If it is now ok to bring painfully average games cross gen then gaming is dead.

I'm gonna say over.
Maybe people just hate Microsoft that much.
Just like Microsoft and there fans needed to be brought down last gen? Don't be a hypocrite.
You must be one of those rare, non-english speaking xbox fans.
OT: I think it's obvious microsoft wants a killer app for there windows phone and minecraft is it. I don't expect to see mojang games anywhere but windows phones.
