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.

  • [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.
