WORLD OF WARCRAFT AND CALL OF DUTY ARE THE GREATEST GAMES EVER MADE....

Quality matters more than Quantity

MORE HOURS FOR MUH MONEY BRUH QWALITY BE DAMNED

Allow me to explain my point. First off I apologize for the all Caps title, but that seems to be the only way to get attention nowadays. People (Myself included) have been complaining about the quality of the content that was in the Dark Below and how little we get for our $20. In turn numerous people across the forum have responded with an extremely similar argument. An argument that I will now sum up to best of my abilities. [quote]ITS NOT ABOUT THE QWALITY OF THE CONTINT BRUH, ITS ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME I CAN SPEND PLAYING IT. YEAH ITS $20 BUT I COULD GET 20+ HOURS OF GAMEPLAY OUT OF IT[/quote] So we have established that the QUANTITY of hours that content can provide outweighs the QUALITY that the content consists of. So by that logic alone it means that World of Warcraft and Call of Duty are the greatest games in history. I mean how many games can compare to the sheer number of hours played that these games have provided?!? Because obviously regardless of the QUALITY of their respective content its overshadowed by the QUANTITY of hours that their content can bring. TL;DR Please use actual logic when arguing your points because it is woefully easy to take incredibly ignorant logic like that I demonstrated above and make it into an absolute farce. You wanna defend your viewpoint? Thats fine. Just don't behave like an imbecile in the process.

    right out of the gate there are several reasons as to why developers are less worried about content than churning out a quick and guaranteed return on their product. because of games like CoD and WoW. that being said, bringing back the discussion to focus on Destiny. I mean, it doesn't really take a rocket scientist to see that the market has steadily been declining over the past few years with children controlling the sales brackets of AAA titles. that tells big businesses to focus on creating more titles that appeal to a younger audience, for they control their parents purse strings. sorry, rambled a bit. Destiny has succumbed to the same plague. Where a brilliant story was in the making, key persons in the creation of this game left prior to completion. Does Bungie still own the rights to that material? Yes. Said persons were working under the employ of Bungie at the time, so Bungie owns the material that they were working on. Could they still have put said content into the game to provide for us a finished product, a much more enjoyable experience so far? Yes. A decision was made somewhere along the line to cut the content and to repackage it for later sale as DLC, with a promise to flesh out the story. While any person that has the slightest bit of mental alacrity can point out, quality is more relevant to quantity. A story can not be told without there being a story to be told in the first place. If there are no characters, no plots, desires, goals, then rightfully so there would be no reason for Destiny to exist, aside from being another FPS (like CoD) that calls for a mindless button-mashing approach. That is not what we were sold on as to what Destiny would encompass, and consumers are pissed. My point is that quality, as to pertaining to a storyline built under the original premise of Destiny, is crucial and much more relevant to the base of the game that the quantity of actual playtime spent in mindless hours of repetitive missions or PvP. I do not partake in the PvP but find that some of my story leads me to buy into what the developers have given us in the finished product. I bought into Destiny for the original idea and the co-op. Thank you for reading a rant
