No. How the hell is it inferior? 1st of all, comparing a game that has gone through major overhauls to be where it is to a game that launched a week ago, is ago bit unfair.
And yeah, I love diablo 3, and destiny for many of the same reasons. But if u love fps games too, Destiny is f#/#! [email protected] amazing. And it just started.
Give the damn thing a few months, let it evolve. Let Bungie learn and adapt, listen to the community and release some content and patches. It's an mmo for a reason.
And i love diablo, but it has very little actual content, especially at launch. It's about the grind. I actual cruelly believe that Destiny may grow into something quite special.
Wow, this article must have taken some serious yoga, stretching and warming up to reach for clickbait that aggressively. It was actually such a poor attempt at building a case to support the headline, the article was entertaining to read.
You could take almost any game and compare it to some previous game that shared an aspect of it. Label it "inferior". And then write an article about it that is entirely grounded in opinion.
It's silly. For example:
"Skate 3 was an inferior version of Tony Hawk 2"... "because I prefer action based games over simulation games, especially when they focus on middle-aged men"
The first quote was WRONG and the second quote justified it based purely on opinion. Which, the author is entitled to, but it's just plain stupid.
"I feel like I actually learn something each time I play Diablo, as opposed feeling like I’m just doing things in Destiny"
REALLY? Ok, let me know how all of the math skillz from DIII character development translate into your engineering career. Nonsense.
Diablo 3 was offensively boring, even after the expansion and playing through it three times... ugh... I should sue for my time back.
I hope the author enjoys clicking his mouse 1,400 times per minute for nothing, I'll be playing Destiny.
It's a great target for hits. That's all the alternative media cares about. They will beat this horse dead, bury it, dig it back up, beat it some more, bury it, dig it up again and rinse and repeat add nausea.
Most of us know why Destiny has become the latest whipping boy and it just shows how meaningless, powerless, jaded and self entitled the mainstream and alternative media truly is. The only people that pay them attention are those that want to use it as fodder to get a rise out of others.
I think 95%, and I'm being overly generous, of the articles written about gaming are nothing but sensationalist click bait fodder written by jaded attention seeking know nothings. The best thing to do is print out articles like this and use it as toilet paper. At least than it would serve a worthwhile purpose. Than again I wouldn't wipe my backside with most of what is written if printed out on paper. I wouldn't even line it in my cat's litter box with it.
And no I'm not being overly harsh. The gaming media, IMHO, is about to implode inward on itself (and well deserved) from them continually biting the hand that feeds them. These outlets have learned nothing from Sessler and Gerstmann.
Well, it seems like people can't do that this year. Think about those who enjoy Titanfall or Watchdogs and who have had to deal with the same kind of crap for six months.
I don't think so but I think a Destiny skinned Diablo 3 game in the style of a twin stick shooter could work. Just think bigger maps, more enemies, more loot and more customisation.
Maybe if they had released the game with all of the content instead of releasing something barebones and then releasing some of the cut content as DLC, it would have been a better game.
Diablo was barebones at first with poor reviews, D3 has expanded from its core release. Destiny has a gameplay design that's hybrid with traditional console game design. Give it time. Comparing a top down game with a huge/open FPS is stupid, it's obvious Destiny is in its base form. Diablo is my 2nd most played game yet.
Yeah, this mag doesnt know all the hate that d3 got when it was launch... Every single aspect was weak... It was update after update to get it better...
My main issue with Destiny is most likely it's loot system. It reminds me of the Diablo 3 loot system at launch. Thankfully, Blizzard has patched it, and Diablo 3 is a much more enjoyable experience at the moment. One would think Destiny, developed by Bungie and paid by Activision-Blizzard, would have learned a lesson or two about loot following the backlash Diablo 3 received initially.
Well written article. However, as the author states, Diablo 3 & Destiny are very different gameplay experiences. And personally, as much as I enjoyed Diablo 3, and feel that both it's story & it's 'grinding' experience may be superior to Destiny's equivalents, I can't help but feel that Diablo 3 is both the more overrated & more 'button bashery' experience and, as such, has inferior core gameplay mechanics to Destiny's. Oh, I can feel the hate for my opinion a comin' already ;)
Thats one thing i find really unsatisfying - i love borderlands and diablo with loot flying everywhere. Kill a dude in destiny and a few glowing things pop out of it. Boring!
I don't get it. Why is it that there is always a game every now and then that can't just be average? Instead it has to be destroyed. "This game sucks, no one should buy it, anyone that likes it is stupid!!!" No, people enjoy it, let them enjoy it....
This guy is a complete MADMAN. Destiny wipes its virtual buns with Diablo III. Sure, it's fun, but Destiny has dance moves on its punch card. Literally.
so diablo 3 suddenly got a huge graphical upgrade and isnt some indie looking game nomore and turned into a first person shooter? these games are nothing alike
That one zombie game that was free on psplus for a while actually had around the same graphical fidelity as diablo 3... It's not about the graphics in diablo it's about DA LOOTS. and no the cutscenes don't count as in game graphics... if i wanted to compare cutscene graphics i'd go watch a movie because that's all that really is.
i hated diablo 3, compared to 2 it just seemed so.. empty and short.. although destiny hasnt been much fun, the beta ruined the beginning of the game, im just getting to level 8 (beta level cap) and im bored as fuck
And Monster Hunter. And Xenoblade Chronicles X. And Phantasy Star Online. And...
...well I'll just stop now.
All of the loot. All of the loot!
And the most played game since 9 setember...
Jeez, let it go already.
Let those that enjoy the game, enjoy it in peace.
I don't think so but I think a Destiny skinned Diablo 3 game in the style of a twin stick shooter could work. Just think bigger maps, more enemies, more loot and more customisation.
