ADG reviews Destiny at EGMNow.com Short And Simple style.
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.
A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.
Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"
Couldn't agree more.
I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".
There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.
yeah... gamers standing far away from a cave shooting as enemies keep coming out because they are programmed to do so, just to get the easy loot and show off as if you were a great gamer :D
The hub is a reason to play it? And what does Online mean... the game is always online. Why does it get a 10 for online?
Well in a way yes..it connects you flawlessly with all the game modes in a very cinematic fashion. Instead of just a bland menu with images which has been done so often before..the ship races off to the moon and various locations right on your screen. I'm just giving credit where credit is due..and you have to play it to appreciate it. 10 for online because it works flawlessly, matchmaking parties, no issues what so ever when I played. When your reviewing online you don't just consider the types of games involved and this game has several things to do online but you also consider matchmaking , latency etc. None of this is bad in Destiny..and they are giving you events and stuff too..so..yeah thats why.
They gave the story an 8???
The story is a 5 or 6 at best. There are so many unanswered questions and unexplained happenings in the game it is nauseating. I have faith that the games story will pan out better as more content is released but for what the game is NOW and not what the game WILL BE, there is no way the story is an 8.
Not to mention the game is judged on complete bias of the company who made it and not of the quality of the game as it stands alone so I shouldn't be surprised.
There are so many things wrong with this review it feels like a low level marketing intern wrote a bunch of bullet points and shipped it to them with their review copy of Destiny.
I didn't say anyone shouldn't play the game.
That is okay that you gave them an 8 for the story, its your review, but I stand by the fact that this story is below average. I can go to the children's section of a bookstore and find stories with better writing and technique than this story. Spongebob Squarepants episodes understand how to deliver a story better than this game did at launch. Let me be perfectly clear with this. I am not saying the concept is bad (A little tired though), its the writing, delivery, and unanswered holes all over the place that make this story below average.
Lets put it in perspective if you are a child and asked your parents to tell you a story and they told you this story from start of game to finish... wouldn't you have a million questions? That is the problem. The story is bad, not the fighting aliens, good vs. evil, hero or "guardian" rather concept. It is the failure to connect, deliver, and explain the basics of the story to answer fundamentally important reasons for the actions you are taking. They didn't even have to add a conclusion to it but they never really explained the beginning in a way that motivates the person to take on this challenges presented.

"they actually just emailed me a fact sheet and a link to assets"
and
"I have to first thank Activision and Bungie for their donation of Destiny on the PS4..."
Don't mix together in syntax. It wasn't donated if you have to buy it, hence where my comment came from.
