GameAdvocate Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was pretty disappointed by Destiny. What do you think? Do you LOVE Destiny or did it disappoint you? Here is my video review: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyCat Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It was definitely overhyped but it isn't that bad of a game for online play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielVT Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Destiny - Overhyped, Repetitive, Story less, and Substance-less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem5100 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah it is overhyped and that is one of the reasons it sucks. If it's too popular people will hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I love the game, but Im also aware of it's multiple problems and know it could of been alot better. However was I dissappointed? Not in the slightest. The crucible is awesome, the raid requires so much team work and is super fun. Cant wait for the DLC raids, sure it sucks that we only got 1 and have to pay extra for the rest. I consider the hype a good thing. I met so many cool people after I got this game and a huge amount of my old friends got the game so it has been alot of fun for me playing with friends! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeWarm115 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have fun with the game as long as I am playing with friends. That however is not a compliment becasue that pretty mush sums up how I feel about many multiplayer games. I do play most games for single player however, and I was very dissapointed in that regards. I do believe this was the fault of Activision and their DLC plans. Destiny did get boring very quickly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi-Versus Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I too was expecting a little more out of this game, but ended up trading it in for Borderlands. I just couldn't get into it. I blame the hype itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSwinger Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 They hyped the shit out of that game. I have the PS4 bundle sitting in my room at home so maybe one day I'll play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishNexus Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I do believe Activision and Bungie promoted the game to be the next huge instalment to the world of gaming, but unfortunately it just doesn't have enough substance at the moment to be just that.Personally I don't get super hyped over games; I go in not expecting anything, even from games I'm really looking forward to, and then let my experience with the game itself decide what I feel about it. For Destiny, my friends and I downloaded it at midnight and played for hours, and then played it consistently for a few hours every day until I sadly lost contact with them. In all those hours playing, we did numerous story missions, strikes, loot farming, resource collecting, and so much of the PvP in the Crucible, so I was not disappointed with the experience the game provided. Granted, they could have put a little bit of effort into the story to give meaning to all the different enemies you encounter and the different planets, and actually expand on all the battles that the story alludes to, but if you just want to play it for the experience, then I think it's still a very enjoyable game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggie_Pie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Over Hype is the best way to sell a game... It looked like more than what it was and they marketed it that way. I for one am not disappointed... I played the Alpha and loved it... i played a tiny bit of the beta but i put it down fast so that i wouldn't get sick of the game before it came out... Im still playing the game as if its new and i have a level 27 (almost level 28), two low level characters, and i feel like i still have plenty to do... I spend a lot of time getting owned in the crucible. I think the expectation of the gamer is a lot higher because we believe that devs should always give us something bigger and better so some of the over hype was actually from us and media... I am a little more content with the games that i get i guess... and like "giveherthedluffy" said above, i personally don't get supper hyped over games... i was actually not as hyped and didn't think i would stick with it as much as i have but me and millions of others are still enjoying the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quikdrawjoe Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I find yet another person promoting their video review on a forum disappointing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoIidWoIf Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I never really got hyped about this game, but it seems that the overhype made it sell extremely well. I don't really get all those amazing critic reviews before release then it comes out and gets bad ratings from every independent reviewer.

Xxleonardo97xX Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hype or not, purchasing is voluntary, I saw nothing special with the game haven't bought it and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devourerplease Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Holy shit, how many "Destiny is disappointing" threads do we need? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftprophet Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ha! Nope. Not one for me. I don't buy into hype, therefore, I don't get "disappointed" when a game isn't what I "expected" it to be. I have enjoyed every aspect of the game except for the removal from immersion due to the grimoire information not being in game. That's pretty much about it. I enjoy the hell out of it.

Dragonborn_NL Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't know about it being over-hyped, I love it. But my expectations weren't that high. I didn't looked into the game much before it's resease. For all I knew it was the child of Borderlands and Halo. Now I think it's a fun multiplayer shooter. I don't enjoy walking alone through the story mode. The offered single player content is not enough for me to enjoy it as a single player/story based game. Just as I didn't cared for Halo's single player, but always loved it's multiplayer. A game like for example GTA has far more to offer walking through Los Santos alone. Destiny's patrol missions don't have all that. As for the multiplayer: it's great. At least IF they release some more content (think of maps and modes). But they said they'd support it for another, what was it, 8 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCuervo88 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) who cares... if you like it... you like it.. if not, oh well.. life moves on..play something else... people act like a game that's not to their standards is the worst thing ever...

Nihiris- Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 who cares... if you like it... it you like it.. if not oh well.. life moves on..play something else... people act like a game that's not to their standards is the worst thing ever... This ^ This gen in particular, it seems that every talked about game coming out ends up with this MASSIVE hype. Rather than accepting the game for what it is, some people think these games are all going to be perfect. People really need to tone down the hype or otherwise this entire gen is going to be one big disappointment to them. On topic, I feel like I definitely got my money's worth out of the game. Not much meat to it currently, but Destiny was still a fun time that kept me busy until my next game purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithAtelier Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I like the game don't get me wrong but I agree It was overhyped but so are most AAA tiles these days I mean in my opinion Watch Dogs was overhyped I fell for it and ended up not enjoying the game.

Nightstream88 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Maybe people should stop hyping up games then, and they might be less disappointed. I played the game for a little bit wasn't too disappointed, but then again I didn't hype it up either so I don't know. Seems to work for me most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularbender Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Despite the weak story mode, super repetitive gameplay, and all of Destiny's other flaws, I still find the game fun and addicting, and in the end, that's all that really matters to me in a video game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It's just not that different from the Beta release, ie, lifeless. After the super short super easy campaign I doubt i'll go back to it. The game is ok only imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilkyJay86 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) advocate, you barely seem to play the games you have. You do mentioned something about a trophy...I know trophy lists don't tell the whole story of gaming activity, but they do represent a little bit of your style and to what degree you play some games. Like others stated I feel your more enthusiastic about your delivery in the video and the video itself than gaming. Guess you gotta start somewhere. 3/10 review. Vlogage bumps it to a 7 and with your descriptive examples of aliens and environments, and upon your background check your grade has taken a significant bump to 9/10. I'm literally laughing out loud here... I just went to your youtube channel. You're level 11 enthusiasm is just comical at the beginning of your videos. You should try stand up instead of gaming guides. Omg the more I look the more I like your style. I just lost it on your watch dog video... You asked yourself a question below in the comments then answered, "i'm glad you asked!" hahahahaha my eyes are teared up. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I was into youtube Edited October 26, 2014 by SilkyJay86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
