"You chose to buy this game" I chose to buy the product AS ADVERTISED, this includes all the promotional footage and E3 stuff leading to launch. What I got was not AS ADVERTISED, it was -blam!-ing gutted.

    Pre-release gameplay footage subject to change without notice. Not all gameplay elements shown may appear in final product. Professional stunt driver on a closed track. Do not try this at home.

    What's your point? That we should be content because of some legal subtlety? What the -blam!-? If you show me -blam!-ing gameplay trailers done to a certain quality I expect that quality to extend throughout the rest of the unseen game.

    You can expect whatever you want. The fact that you keep buying stuff that fails to meet your expectations is your fault. I read the reviews, I knew exactly what to expect, and here I sit, not disappointed in the slightest with my purchase. I think you should be content because you either pre-ordered, or failed to do your due diligence, either of which is squarely on you. The product is not defective, it is what it is, and it does what it says on the tin. I'm truly stunned that in 2014 people don't realize that until software goes gold, every element that has been shown to you in "demos" is subject to change at a moment's notice. You had no contract with the developer to put in any of its features, you mistakenly assumed it was a certain way with a childish naivete, and you were wrong.

  • What kind of misguided reasoning is this? We are criticizing the quality of this game as compared to what was advertised and clearly promised via the footage they produced. Nobody is complaining about the legality of this, it is perfectly legal to -blam!- people over. But it is disgusting how low Bungie has sunk to make a buck. Put another way, when the government can and does screw you over, aren't you a little pissed off and feel the need to complain?

    Misguided reasoning? A stupid demo shown at E3 is a hype generator produced using an early version of the engine, and a rough draft of the narrative, if it relies on the actual game at all, and until the product is out, ANYTHING can change. How hard is that to understand. Why didn't you keep your money in your wallet like an adult with some willpower, wait for the game to be released, read some reviews and then decide to buy it based on informed reasoning about your future enjoyment of the actual thing instead of buying the hype train like a lemming? And you call ME misguided? I'm not wetting my pants over corporate behaviors that go back decades, of which Bungie has no control over - they MUST produce demos, the MUST hype the game, and they WILL have to cut features to make release targets, they will have to compromise on content/gameplay to play nice with hardware limitations. Period. [B]You can't expect an accurate advertisement of a product that is in development because the final product doesn't exist yet. [/B]
