Lokk, Ive got over 1500hrs sunk into Destiny if a pissing contest is what you are looking for. I also once had a gambling addiction. Hey, your right, Destiny is a cheap gambling addiction. But that doesnt change what it is. And when you finish making up excuses to keep playing this flake game, you will be disgusted when you realize the "gaming gods" at Bungie knew exactly what they were doing when they made this flake game.
Quiet isnt anything new to anyone familiar with Metal Gear. For many different possible reasons H. Kojima adds sexuality into his games. This game is hardly the first. Does it arouse anyone thats seen the real thing? Lol probably not, at least I hope not. Either way, he has found the formula for making a game be a game, and the game is fun. Lord knows his writing is atrocious, but its fun nonetheless. I really hope that this isnt his last game. He is a veteran of decades and it would be a los...
Destiny is a fps gambling simulater. Dont feel ashamed if you arent one of the idiots making up excuses to play the same content 100s of times over. Go talk to a 70yr old slots player, they have the same problem.
Myself, I agree with the author of this piece. I have thought Kojima is a terrible writer for well over a decade now. This isn't to say that his games aren't fun, his writing is just awful. Try comparing his stories to any acclaimed plot driven shows, movies, games, or books.
Im hyped for it. Id be lying though if I said that no Galactic Conquest didn't bother me. Once I have this, and Fallout 4 pre-ordered Ill have the rest of this year covered game wise.
Definitely cool tech, but does everything have to be a pissing contest between MS and Sony? Who cares about the opinions of deranged fanboys? I don't know if it comes with age or what, but this console war mentality is childish.
I cancel out your +stereotype, with a -stereotype. Ive had countless girlfriends, and female sexual partners. So if we were standing together, and some a-hole tried to insult you, I could instantly reduce them to virgin status with tales of my sex life.
Pro-tip: A smile and/or a simple wave can get your foot in the door. Give it a try, it gets easier and easier the more you do it.

Sorry bud, but you are wrong on this one. Ever wonder how a person can sit in front of a slot machine for hours pulling that same lever over, and over, and over again without getting bored?They are waiting for that jackpot. Destiny, and slots have something in common. They both use a random number generator(rng), to give out rewards. Ever wonder why someone can play the same content over, and over, and over again for months in Destiny? Were you excited when the rng fin...
Yourself, and the author of this article will eventually reach the same conclusion. You are already getting a taste of how repetitive it is. Eventually, you will realize that Destiny is nothing more than a gambling addiction. Everything you do in Destiny is a number roll. I sank right at 1400hrs into Destiny before I got wise to Bungies intentions.
I wondering the same thing. I don't really understand why the author of this article is even talking about a slim model when the console isn't even 2 years old either. Another thing is assuming that beating Sony is MS number one priority. It isn't, selling consoles is, and the XB1 is doing fine with its sales. I guess fanboys need food, and websites need attention. So having an all you can eat buffet is the cheapest way to get it.
Simple answer...Destiny at its core is nothing more than a gambling addiction. Every aspect of Destiny is attached to an RNG(random number generated)reward. Ever wonder why someone can sit at a slot machine for hours pulling that lever over, and over, and over again? Ever wonder why someone can play the same content in Destiny over, and over, and over for months on end? Make sense?
You might not realize this but those "hundreds of shards" are worth ALOT of glimmer. Glimmer you are going to need when you decide to re-forge the perks of those shiny new legendarys. I have managed to "forge" some of these new weapons into both PvE & PvP beasts. Load up all of your Ascendant/Radiant/Motes into your inventory and go see the Speaker for material exchanges.
First, I have sunk a lot of time into Destiny. Ive had/have every exotic available for every class. I have some of the rarest faction loot in the game.
Destiny is a gambling addiction with good gunplay. Ever feel that rush when an item you want drops? You just got blackjack. Ever heard the excitement in someones voice when their first Gjally drops? The weeks they spent betting on 21 red at the roulette table just paid off. Think about it.
One of the funniest things I have seen while playing Destiny has been the reaction some people have when they get their first Gjally. Lol, you would think they had just won the lottery.
Not saying that it will never happen, because more will be added to Destiny over time, but in 2013 Bungie said that there would be trading and gambling in Destiny.
@Sir_Simba
You are misinterpreting the purpose of EA Access. EA Access is simply a way for EA to make money after retail orders for a game have dried up. Its a win-win for EA, and gamers. The only victims are shops that sell used games. I would be thrilled if more publishers created a service like this.
EA, nor any other publisher, is going to trade the price of a new title for a subscription service. It doesn't make business sense to make such a decision...
@MatthewMk2
To my knowledge, Peggle 2, and Dragon Age: Inquisition are the only strictly single player games EA has released for either next-gen console so far. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, its not going to bother me. I know there is a multiplayer mode coming to DA:I at some point. EA simply doesn't make many single player only games.
@shaenoide
"Single player games have a longer lifespan."
That is not at all true.
EA Access IS a great deal. You get a discount on new games, as well as dlc. You can drop $5, on a 1-month sub, download and play a new title a week early, and if you want to buy it you get a 10% discount. You install the whole game, not a small chunk of it. There are only time restrictions put on content that can be completed before the allotted early access ti...
That's not true. Im not part of the gaming press, and I am disappointed with what I have heard so far. I was far beyond excited for this Battlefront until the details about the changes that have been made to the series.
The biggest disappointment for myself is the lack of the Galactic Conquest mode. This mode gave meaning to each map you fought on, now its been replaced by a meaningless map rng. That sucks ass imo.
Then you factor in some of the coolest ...
"Work for", thats funny. Every part of Destiny has an rng attached to it. You arent working towards anything, you are WAITING for that lucky roll. Once you have done the exact same tings enough, you will realize. Take your time, its not my problem.
