well your language alone disqualifies you from giving a valid vote.. =) desticle-language isnt approved.. just because someone grinds for 100000 hours doesnt makes the game "good" see how many hours people put into Minecraft, Candycrush or Tetris, but are those games "good" ? Hardly.. does this game have potential ? sure... does it needs more to be a "game" and not just a "beta" test for some tech demo? HELL YES so the quite bad rating on Metacritic is well deserved.. good core, barely anything on the bones.. was it intended to be shipped differently ? yes of course.. was content cut ? yes definitely (just see the "lost" and recycled story mission "the undying mind" which even starts in the black garden afetr you killed its hearth.. now its a strike .. ) is it a pity that so much had to be cut ? YES it was even such a pity tht Joe staten, the mastermind behind the HALO Story left and abandoned the project (or did you see anyone else in the endcredits being the story guy? his name is alone on this ) will Destiny level up? yes it will, if you have seen the video i attached (GDC2015 destiny - > google it!) then you noticed that destiny is lacking 1.5 years of development.. that have been lost in the process of trying to tie things together and preserve the codebase. does the code still have "old ballast" yes it has .. does it hinder the ability to add content Yes it does..
