"Destiny's release has been one of the most controversial we've seen in a few years, splitting critics and players right down the middle. There's something a little bit Marmite about Bungie's latest sci-fi shooter - you either love it or you hate it.
The question we're asking is - does it deserve the hate? Sort of. Kinda. In a way. Not really." - TGC

The long-rumoured Destiny Mobile game from NetEase may finally be ready for reveal according to multiple leakers.
Phil Spencer talks candidly about missing out on both Destiny and Guitar Hero
So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses
Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!
another Interview?
how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol
Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.
However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.
How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.
"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"
Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.
Shame its getting such hate its a blast online pvp with friends. I only have the 360 version but will be upgrading to xbox one this xmas!
and i qoute
"Not to mention the claims that Destiny will be the shooter that redefines the genre, as spewed out by many publications in the run up to release"
I couldn't agree more with that extract. I think publishers and game developers should for their own good stop adding any sort of awards or extract from what these sites / journalist say to their marketing campaign advert because this could end up not benefiting them at all ending a franchise entirely because of " false hype"
Good article. I think the game has been bashed at a higher standard. Surely the game has faults, but the gameplay is very enjoyable. Seriously, they think this game is worse than Titanfall? Titanfall isn't even bad but I cannot even compare the different level Bungie has designed their game on. Regardless, it is a great game and under appreciated in my opinion.
Personally I don't love it - or hate it. It is a solid good game, not great, probably worth the money I spent tho.
I think people love (or hate it) based on the hype THEY believed. If someone truly believed this was going to be the best game ever then I'm pretty sure they were very disappointed.
Maybe people aren't used to seeing prime time ads for video games.
"Either way, Destiny doesn’t deserve the flack, it’s a decent game in its own right. Blame the hype created by the industry and if you’ve not yet played it, go in with realistic expectations and you may just find you’ll be pleasantly surprised"
*Claps* Finally someone tells it like it is.
