It has gotten bad reviews, and it us a bad game. Only reason it didn't flop was because Bungie personally went around and sucks everyone's dicks if they bought the game.

Have you been following game reviews lately? if your game is AAA and it gets below a 9 it is average as all fuck. And we know where the average stands nowadays.

I guess my dick has 10/10 replay value too.

Just like TLOU, everyone but /v/ loves it. Obviously it's the world is wrong as /v/ could never have shit taste or be full of spiteful man-children Nintedrones.

Yes. it got around the 8.5 mark on reviews, which in triple A language means it's acceptably playable. People played it and discarded it, and it failed to build a following large enough to establish a franchise.

So it doesn't crash every 10 seconds? That's a point in its favor?

Why do reviewers do this? why do you give us individual ratings for sound, gameplay, graphics, etc. if your end-score doesn't accurately reflect them?

It should be a 7 or 7.5 overall, according to those individual scores out of 10. But its a AAA game, so it simply can't get any lower than an 8.

>Destiny is massive. You'll be playing this for years. 10/10 replay value
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh man.

I played Halo for years because I could sit down with three friends and play crazy offline OR online custom games, replay the campaign in co-op mode with skulls and shit on, make our own maps and play them, etc. etc. after we were done with the vanilla campaign. You can hit the level cap in Destiny in under two days, the story lasts about 8 hours and the matchmaking doesn't have half the shit Halo's had. We will NOT be playing this for years.

I like how 5/10 writing is basically "well, its there."

>>262790641
I think the drastic lack of content and inability to communicate with other people will hurt it in the long run. You can't talk to people unless they're in your fireteam, and by default fireteam invites are set to friends-only. Even if you change the setting, it defaults back to friends-only every time you return to your ship. You can't even talk with your own team in PvP.

I don't think anyone ever actually said the game was going to flop.

Whether it was going to be a bad game or not is another story, but anyone who didn't think it was going to be a financial success was retarded.

Welcome to the world of video game reviews.

>http://www.somethingawful.com/news/movie-game-review/

>Paramount Pictures has had a lot of success in the past. They are a large company and they have a lot of money. For this reason, fans of the distributor know that their newest movie is sure to be good

>The camera never falls over during a scene. Actors are always in frame. The film runs at a steady 24 frames per second with very few frame drops. Since World War Z has a big enough budget to ensure that it doesn't have any glaring mistakes, we're happy to say that it will at least score a 7/10.

>World War Z has a great story. A lot of people talk in it and things keep happening, which makes it cinematic.

>>262790946
>I think the drastic lack of content and inability to communicate with other people will hurt it in the long run

Yes. This game is meant to be primarily played in PVE, but PVE games can only last so long while playing alone. You need to talk to people and plan stuff out for it to work properly. Unless Activision manages to keep pumping out DLC at the exactly perfect sweet spot to keep people buying, it won't last.

>>262791325

So is WoW. Don't know shit about Destiny and don't care but repetitve games don't always mean that people will quit playing them so soon.

Destiny, in wow terms, is cataclysm except without people who've already sunk years into the game.

>>262791057
I felt it failed as a game because it would discard gameplay consistency for the sake of story. For example, you can get shot in the face and heal just fine, but get stabbed in the gut and suddenly you just aren't allowed to equip healthpacks anymore because that would ruin the story.

It's a AAA game that bought the 8/10 review, but was so bad that the person writing it hid in the fact that it was actually not that good into the review itself.

The game has gotta be horrifically bad.

>>262791449
Activison is touting their $500 million worth of games sold to retailers when they normally come right out and say 'We sold [x] million copies of this game day one!'

Activision said they had something like 12 million preorders, so if we believe this that means millions of people didn't follow through. An estimated 8 million copies were shipped to retailers given that $500 million figure, and there are no shortages reported anywhere.

So no official source, but its pretty obvious things didn't go quite as planned when big publishers don't come right out and give you actual numbers in a situation like this. We knew about how many copies of GTAV sold when they announced their $800 million in a day because they told us at the same time.

Plays like an eminently forgetful product of hype. The fact that "slick, functional and refined" is how the reviewer decided to describe it in the title indicates so much about modern AAA gaming and Destiny.

5 isn't average though. 5 means the game is shit. The current way of thinking is that 7 is average so you only have 8~10 to describe good games while 6~0 for bad games which is why the 10 point scale is stupid.

>>262793526
That further demonstrates my point that the 10 point scale is fundamentally flawed though.

anyone who says 7 is average doesn't know what they're talking about.

8 is given to all these completely bland big budgeted games. 8 is average.

Just because it had a few innovations does not mean it isn't shit.

>>262793373
Yeah the current way of 9/10 it's okay is dumb but I was referring to who says that who uses 10 points scales refers to 5 as the halfway point. Except it isn't. In an ideal scale it would, yeah, but in reality it's like in countries where the 10 point scale is used in school. You know what 5 is in my country's school? An E. E + if you want.
And yet it's full of people who say "this game got 5/10, it means it's average". No it isn't, whoever gave it 5/10 thought it was bad, not average. Of course a scale like that might be better because you really don't need 5 different scores to say that a game is bad and using it as a halfway point it's better, but basically no one does this (maybe ONE famous website? RPS maybe?).

There are a lot of people on the internet who don't understand that "average" does not mean "in the middle of the scale".
A shit ton of people. It's hard to argue with them though, because other wrong people jump in and offer their equally wrong support.

Back on topic, Destiny is a 7 or maybe 8 out of 10. That would be perfectly serviceable for a non-hyped game, but Destiny got 11/10 levels of hype, so there really should be massive disappointment in it's mediocrity. And based on the (correct) rating scale that uses 5 ("terrible") to 10 ("really excellent"), Destiny being a 7.5 is a big deal. And the fact that reviews were overtly delayed by Activision seems like it should be a scandal.

He then proceeded to start talking about the next call of duty game.

and WHY IS THE MOVEMENT SPEED LIKE 4 KILOMETERS PER DECADE

>>262797549
That's the exact opposite of what I'm saying, though?

I'm saying it's a worthless sections because they never actually finish a game before they write these things

But some areas are more important.

If you're saying that a game has a shit story and gameplay can be good based on graphics and sound alone then I have to wonder what the fuck you are smoking.

I thought it was 1-4,not worth it. 5 is playable but mediocre. 6 is a good attempt, but not a higher score due to bugs, 0 replayability, repitive, etc. 7 is good, could have used a few tweaks. 8 is great. 9 is superb/excellent/ amazing. 10 is flawless or near flawlessness.

fat fucking chance this thing's going to fall off at titanfall rates. but they got their money and the people that bought this up front are so stupid that by the time the sequel comes out they will have forgotten and they'll do it all over again.

I have throughout enjoyed the user reviews on metacritic. The people giving it anything in the green are absolutely delusional, experiencing buyer's remorse 9/10 times. The other 1/10 are trying to be deep, using all their biggest words, and failing to list anything positive about the game.

For some reason I just know when games are going to be bullshit, I rolled my eyes as destiny during the e3 reveal and haven't given a shit about it since. Not sure what everyone saw in it.

>>262797513
>A game can be complete shit and average in certain areas but still be amazing compared to a lot of the riff raff.
Sure, but when you compare this game to Halo its a fucking empty shell.

The campaign is shorter than in any Halo game and they tell you almost nothing of whats going on, the pvp matchmaking has a fraction of the options it does in pretty much every Halo game, there's no local co-op or split-screen (staple in every Halo and why it took off in the first place) no custom games (also important and what kept Halo fresh and replayable years after release) no private lobbies, and you can't even talk to your team in pvp.

Halo Reach, Bungie's last game, had so much more content and more features than this game ever will out of the box.

>>262787545

Everyone here who isn't retarded knew a game made by bungie would do well.

Casuals make up 90% of the market, and Bungie only makes casual friendly games.

>>262798762

That looks like an enemy you'd find in a second rate MMO. Seriously, cyclops robots with red eyes and horns. Halo 1-3 were great, but Bungie is just shit now.

>>262799115
>Halo Reach, Bungie's last game, had so much more content and more features than this game ever will out of the box.

Except for the part where it has nothing Halo had, like custom games and local co-op.

Give me a break, it's a console FPS. We know how console FPS works, i'll give you a hit, they're really kinda shit.

It might be a real game in a year's time.

Too many companies are trying to bar their content behind DLC. I cant believe you faggots paid for this game. It is the embodiment of everything that is currently wrong with gaming.

>always online
>30 fps lock
>Day one DLC
>Beta buy in

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE RED FLAG HERE, NO MORE OF THIS.

>>262799342
I wouldn't even care about the last 30-40% of the game coming out later as DLC. If it had local co-op, split-screen and custom games I'd be happy. That's what I liked most about Halo and what kept me wanting to play it months and years later. Nothing is more fun than 4-player deathmatches on maps and game types you and your friends created.

>>262799491
85 people polled on halo 1 had a median of 9.5 hours on HLTB. That's without multiplayer too, which is vastly better than destiny.

>>262798817
Its easily an 8/10 game. Solid game play just like any halo with the engaging gun fights and enemies. The art style and graphics are also very pretty and clean looking. Nice environments that feel alive and are very atmospheric. The game is not shallow or is it deep, it's just in middle kinda. If your a fan of shooters you would enjoy it. The reason for the hate is people going it with preconceived notions and because its a playstation and xbox only game

Halo campaigns are longer 6 hours, especially on higher difficulties. And then you have skulls to fuck around with, changing things up or making harder. Destiny tops out at like 8 or 9 on the highest difficulty, and the real ending is paid DLC.

>>262799776

313 studios does it again! Destiny delivered on everything they promised, and nothing they didn't. This game has many hours of gameplay, I haven't been able to put it down. The story is good enough, the real game is focused on the multiplayer element. The team deathmatch has no MMR system, but at least it's there. The guns feel good, they are fun. Like present day + future formula. Good game. Reminds me of halo and call of duty. doritos and mountain dew. 9/10

>>262800017
Only stupid people. Doesn't matter, game is shit. Even people who loved skyrim: casual as fuck edition will be abandoning this game in droves soon enough.

>>262799776
The game is shallow and has CoD levels of autoaim, but CoD multiplayer is FAR deeper than this. The only good thing about this product is the art and the rehashed halo gameplay, which was superior in every halo ever.

>>262800093
What's even worse is that the score is based on the mean, which is useless when comparing things of different importance.

Graphics and sound are less important than story and gameplay in a game.

>>262800251
>have any of you even played the game? or are you just reciting what the hi/v/emind told you?

I watched two hours of gameplay on Twitch and formed my opinion with zero outside sources. The game was a personal flop for me, I figured out it was shit in about 20 minutes.

>>262798186
source of them being the majority

>>262800251
Have you played Destiny. The only AI that doesnt mindlessly run at you or run to the nearest cover and stand there until it dies is the wizard because it's programmed to run away and heal whenever it's shield goes down


and there's fucking leashing in every single room so if things get bad you can walk out the front door and they will reset to the original position but keep their lost health

and the boss fights go on about 5 minutes longer than they should where nothing changes about it until the final wave of enemies becomes significantly harder

>>262800251
Played the entire beta, at least 8-10 hours including pvp, little/nothing changed from the beta to the final release and the beta was a good 30% of the game.

This game has almost nothing I liked about Halo, namely no local play whatsoever and no user-generated content. I expected more from Bungie, they didn't even deliver what their games from almost decade ago did. Destiny suffers from an overall lack of content and features other games in the same genre have.

>>262800251
i maxed out three characters in the beta
it's an easy, unsatisfying, shallow experience

>>262800552

>>262800968
>It took you twenty minutes? When I saw how mindless the boss battles were I knew it was shit.

When I opened the stream they were fighting that chained up boss. I had to sit through 3 wipes before I saw anything new, so I didn't want to be biased.

>Nice environments that feel alive and are very atmospheric
coincidentally none of these environments are destructible, making it the same old shit every time you play it :^)

>If your a fan of shooters you would enjoy it
hahahahaha

>The reason for the hate is people going it with preconceived notions and because its a playstation and xbox only game
Yeah, I guess there would be "preconceived notions" when a game with this sort of budget gets hyped out the ass, and that has nothing to do with PC whatsoever, which is more than likely going to get a release as long as it doesn't flop first

>10/10 you'll be playing this for years
hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA

>>262801071
Except we know for a fact that almost nothing changed from the beta. If you played the beta, you already played a good third of the whole game.

>>262800854

>>262800251
>have any of you even played the game? or are you just reciting what the hi/v/emind told you?


Can you argue that the AI is not retarded? They completely ignore airborne players 33% of the time. The knights have no idea what to do when you jetpack. I have seen people on stream jump into packs of 4-6 and the AI doesn't respond at all before the player jumps away.

The bosses have 3-4 attacks tops, and to compensate the room is flooded with random enemies that 1shot you. Some of the bosses can't even maneuver around the whole room.

The whole game is just a shitfuck, how anyone could find it entertaining is beyond me. You would have to be on drugs or have the most boring lives in the world.

This is literally the "9/10 it's tollerable - IGN" of reviews.

Besides, have we not established that professional reviews has been utter garbage for several years at least?

Give your game review/journalism source the "Last of 8" test.

If the outlet rated TLOU better than the equivalent of 8/10 or 4/5, it's a garbage source. At or below? Reputable to some degree.

7/10 or less? You found the god damn Reuters of video games.

>>262790156

TLOU was a good game with flaws and too dependent on "uncharted" style pseudo QTE's.

It was not the citizen kane of gaming, none of those fuckers even know what it means to be the Citizen Kane of a medium: it has to be a watershed moment that changes the standards and influences how the entire industry adapts from that point on.

System Shock, Deus Ex, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Golden Eye 007, Halo 2.

In terms of any game that involves a gun, all of these were industry changing for better or worse. Deus Ex and System Shock set the dream standards that other video games to this day still fantasize to this day about "player choice" and "story telling" mechanics that has defined the concept of what an RPG or "rpg mechanics" is for the west.

The Last of Us was just a watershed event in how over-done discussion of zombies as a media subject is but how under whelming zombies in existing media have been. It's one of the first zombie video games that isn't shit, that's it's deserved pedestal.

>>262801564
But they didn't purchase good press. They told people not to listen to the reviews and generally the reviews in progress have not been good, indicating that for once they did not pay off an elite influential group for higher scores. Of course you faggots will declare how unconsumer oriented it is to have delayed reviews, the same faggots that would have strung Bungie up had they allowed reviews.

You should know better, it's not like someone buys the game, doesn't like it, returns it, and then sales get deducted.

See how many people care in a month.

The only games you can play literally for years are Morrowind and Oblivion and that's only because of the massive amount of user generated quest and story content.

But the majority of people voting it a 0 don't even own in. Metacritic should require you to link to your PSN/XBL/Steam account and put how much you played the game and if you got the "Complete" the game trophy alongside your score. Metacritic is a horrible system because no game is ever a 0, 0 would mean it's completely unplayable and so on. 0 is really just a 6 for most games, just like a 10 is an 8.

Right: is so bad that the reviewer even tried to compensate it with pr talk.

/v/ is only when it comes to say that a AAA is good or not.

I would say those scores are pretty fair, I would lower the replay value 1 or 2, but there is lots of replayability, you can do harder versions of previously played missions and strikes and you keep getting new rewards for beating them.

PvP is also pretty good in the bigger maps.

So why is replay value a good thing? That just means it spreads itself thin. I don't understand this.

I'd rather a fantastic game I play just once over one where you have to play multiple times doing generic bullshit.

Guess they rounded up.
Replay value score is probably fibbed for that.

Replay value assessment:
8-10 hour campaign
Multiplayer is the bulk of replayability although there are raids called strikes
No team voice chat in multiplayer
Two game modes. TDM & Territory Capture
No matchmaking system for either the core campaign or the strikes
=10?

I'm returning it. I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me because I can't agree that shit like this is good. I bought it full price, played the beta, had it preordered since it was announced, and now it's out and i's just shit.

Also, why have inventory slots for emblems. You did it better in fucking Halo.

Metacritic or some site needs to start operating like that one Japanese site. User reviews can't be submitted day one, you have to include how many hours played and whether it was completed, if you give a game a high score you have to write increasingly more positive points to justify it and vice versa for low scores.

Hasn't interested me so far, but I might pick it up when it comes out for PC.

Come on, tons of great games have had that problem. TLOU does place too much stock in its story, but its still a good game.

Went into the beta with tepid expectations and it was somehow worse than I thought it would be. Destiny has a ton of problems, but the enemies are the deal-breaker. They're lazy, unaggressive. Its a shame, too. Halo 1 had great AI that wouldn't let you catch your breath.
