Probably Not Buying The Game
Don't get me wrong, I've always been a Bungie lover since the beginning, but after the beta I will likely not purchase Destiny.
There have been a series of mistakes that I believe have been made on the part of Bungie.
[b]1: Selling Halo to 343[/b]
I understand 343 made their company because of Halo and everything, but they really took a huge shit on what you made. Halo 3 was a great ending that didn't need fleshing out; it didn't need continuing.
I think it would've been fine if you had given the name to them but forbade the use of John. They could've made games like ODST [spoiler]my favourite halo game[/spoiler].
[b]2: Delay Delay Delay[/b]
How long has it been since you started pre-orders? I think it's been nearly two years. That is way too long. I understand you wanted to make everything perfect but that does not justify the wait. You should have not opened pre-orders till alpha was nearly done.
[b]2 Part 2: Delay Disappoint or Inhibit?[/b]
When you first opened pre-orders, the current gen consoles hadn't come out nor been announced. [i](XboxOne/PS4)[/i] That meant, because eager Bungie fans, like myself, who pre-ordered, would be pre-ordering for the then-current gen. [i](Xbox360/PS3)[/i] You can't just say [quote]Screw You[/quote] and only have Destiny on new consoles.
From here you're left with a dilemma: Do you inhibit the next gen consoles like Xbox One so that the game is the same as if it were on Xbox 360, or do you make a separate game for each and betray the loyal fans of old who prefer not to upgrade to current gen consoles for any of the many reasons?
[spoiler]If you would release for PC you wouldn't have this problem.[/spoiler]
[quote] Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.[/quote]
Remember Destiny if you try to make another game.

You've already per ordered it though so you're playing the game. Now shut up and watch moreconsole.

Interesting! Anyway, got to dash, I've got to go and post in the forums of all the games I'm not going to buy. It might take a while!

None of these seem like a plausible reason to not buy the game. I guess it's just all up to the individual though. You have a personal issue with the first point. That, in fact, really has nothing to do with Destiny but your own feelings of being hurt by Bungie for a past mishandling of their franchise. Your second point about delays, well I can't see how someone would be mad that a game they pre-ordered is having all the kinks worked out and plan on bringing the best game they can. Unlike how current companies normally act. Look at the newest Battlefield game and the launch issues that game had. Could it have used another 6 months of development to flesh it out? The additional part 2 really is just a head scratcher. You're upset because the pre-ordering began before the new consoles were announced and then Bungie had to make a decision about how to handle this. You gave two options and Bungie in fact took the better of the two options. They've gone ahead and said all versions of the game are the same game and that you can even bring over all your game history from the old gen to the next gen. TLDR: I just sounds like your angry with Bungie. Everyone can make their own decision to get the game or not. It's sad to see we'll be without one more Guardian in the universe.

Ok then why play the beta? putting that 5 bucks to good use?

Let's talk it over some supper, Adolf. Uh, I think there's much more to Destiny than you may expect, now don't get it twisted.

You are seriously the world's biggest whiner. "Don't develop for next-gen because I am a whiney little brat." Glad you won't be playing, nobody will have to listen to you.

YAY!!!!! ANOTHER CRYBABY THAT NO LONGER HAS ANY REASON TO BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this one of those "let me post that I'm not buying the game so that people will try to convince me otherwise and I will get attention"

>Hitler >Not buying Destiny Fine by me.

Wow a [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] not buying a game. Tell me Why do should I care?

Your dead.

Somebody's has a negative life :) cheer up man this game is going to be good, stop whining Hitler

Bungie lost the rights to Halo, MS made sure they didn't loose that teet to milk dry. So your first point is invalid. If they would have sold the rights, I highly doubt that would have been cheap an most likely would have allowed them to go independent like they wanted. I know they didn't want to sign a deal with Activision just didn't have much choice. They are worse then MS about milking titles dry. Look at there best seller COD. Your second point I somewhat agree on. They have had pre orders opened for a long time compared to other titles. But not once they did ever give us a release date. They were hoping for the Beta Early 2014, now it's coming Mid 2014. So what's all the whining about? My question is why do you an so many other people complain about the way Bungie handles Destiny related things when they are one of the few studios to come out an actively communicate with there fans an consumers. Bungie is a business there job is to create a product you like enough as a consumer to purchase. Yes they are a little different then most but at the end of the day, They have numbers to meet just like every other company on the planet. They don't owe you anything for purchasing this title or any before or after it. Nobody is forcing you to buy it, an there sure as hell not forcing you to play it. Don't like it go buy a different game. Deej needs to create a thread called Cries /Whines/Complaints. So tired of every thread I read being about something somebody wished was in the game an because it's not there not going to buy it. Who the F cares your not important an majority of the community wouldn't even want that in the game anyways. New age of gamers are absolutely ridiculous the way they feel dev's owe them something for buying there past games. Sorry that's all, that's my big rant for the day :D!!

Cool story bro! Goodbye!

1 ReplyDestiny isn't just new consoles it's Xbox 360 and ps3 also.

Bungie had nothing to do with 343 taking over the Halo franchise. Microsoft has owned Halo since 1999 and they're the ones who decide who makes the games. And delays aren't bad. It gives them more time to improve the game.
-
How did you manage to pack so much stupidity into one post?
-
You can't blame them for taking a long time to make destiny. Look at battlefield 4, they should've had more time, but the game ended up having a lot of problems which pissed off a lot of fans. I say the more time the better.

You are literally Hitler. [spoiler]All of the lelz[/spoiler]

You realize that ODST was a trial into their core for destiny... Story aside if you compare the two, your will see similarities. Also, Destiny was first teased on ODST.

5 Repliesofftopic: may I ask, what made you choose this somewhat - strange name...?

After staring at this post for an extensive time, I've come to the conclusion that it reeks of troll. Or exceeding stupidity. That is all.

[quote][b]1: Selling Halo to 343[/b][/quote] How can Bungie sell Halo to 343 when Microsoft owns it? Bungie just had a contract to make game for it. [quote] Halo 3 was a great ending that didn't need fleshing out; it didn't need continuing.[/quote] The game ended in another cliff hanger just like Halo CE and Halo 2. They have the guy drifting towards Requiem which we knew nothing about at the time. We didn't even know the name of it. So please tell me how an ending like that is good? The ending is setup to start a new trilogy, not to end his story there. [quote]You should have not opened pre-orders till alpha was nearly done.[/quote] Activision would be controlling that, not Bungie. [quote]2 Part 2: Delay Disappoint or Inhibit?[/quote] Like above Activison would be controlling the time for the pre-orders. Also you can always cancel your pre-order for last gen and make it for current gen.
