I remember reading somewhere that Activision gave Bungie complete control over Destiny. But who knows, maybe Activision had a big influence over Bungie. Or maybe is was just Bungie.

Wow, you sound like Angry Joe’s review of Destiny on YouTube.
His Evil Activision Villain was hilarious.

Angry Joe wasn’t out of line in that review though. I expected much more from Bungie and Destiny.
> Angry Joe wasn’t out of line in that review though. I expected much more from Bungie and Destiny.
No, I didn’t think he was wrong. I think his review was quite justified given what we’ve seen from Bungie so far with Destiny.
If the only way you can learn any actual lore or experience any storyline is to go to a website or buy DLC, that’s just wrong.
I find it ironic how a year ago, people were speculating that Halo was almost dead, the aging giant that was about to collapse, and how Destiny and Titanfall were going to knock it off its throne.
Now, both those titles have turned out to be overhyped and somewhat underwhelming, with their only real chances for redemption lying in distant sequels. Bungie couldn’t outdo their own success with Halo.
Meanwhile, Halo and 343 Industries are poised to completely dominate the FPS world this year, providing fans with the gameplay they love with modern tweaks and graphics.
Though, it isn’t too hard to picture Angry Joe’s evil villain as Microsoft instead of Activision. “Ahahahahaaaaa, yessss!!! The Xbox One is terrible, but the fools are buying it! Because all we had to do was reskin old games, cater to their nostalgia and make sure they could only enjoy it on Xbox One! Mwahahahahaaaa…! DIE, WINDOWS!!! DIE, XBOX 360!!! WE CAN’T GET $499 FOR SELLING YOU, SO JUST DIE!!! HAHAHAAA!!!”
Looked at Xbox Live service status. BFBC2 is having problems (after I got the patch it worked WONDERFULLY!). And so is Destiny.

Which I will forever laugh my -Yoink- off at. Its almost like Halo is the new Nintendo where every single new game will doom them.

Yep. I can see why the game was hyped so much, but after playing that unimpressive beta, I lost interest and decided to wait for reviews. Probably won’t be getting it now.
Falls off couch, laughing hysterically
That actually made me laugh way more than it should’ve. Brilliant. Now Kit has to name his next animal pal ‘Siul’.
Just kidding.
Anyway… scans latest pages
Destiny hate. Destiny love. But only one opinion matters. Mine.
This weekend, my friend is letting me borrow his 360 version. Time to determine whether or not to be sucked in…

> I don’the know man. I really like my Xbox One…
Well, the cold hard fact remains that the quality of the Xbox One is really a moot point. I mean, no matter how much 343 goes on and on about their passion for the fanbase, the only fans they really care about are the ones willing to shell out the $399-499 for an Xbox One. 343 is a giant product placement company, unfortunately- look at Halo Spartan Assault. The only reason it exists was Microsoft trying to push Windows 8/Windows Phone 8 sales.
If Microsoft wasn’t trying so hard to sell Xbox Ones- and be honest with yourself- do you really think you’d be getting the Master Chief Collection at all? Do you think they’re that concerned about you getting your classic Halo experience back, or just trying to find a sure-fire way to make Halo fans buy the Xbox One?
Just ignore my mini-rant, wounded PC gamer here… I have to vent every now and then. Pardon me while I go play my buggy H2V with 15 people on the servers, envying the people who’ve already gotten CE, 2, 3, ODST, Wars, Reach, CEA, 4, Spartan Assault and soon a massive remastered collection and H5G. Man, I think I’m going to start crying just thinking about it.

Same here, :D. Its a fun game, yet it does get kind of boring for a while. Taking a break from it for now and finishing up what I have left in Skylanders Swapforce (god only knows why i still play that game, but its fun).
Anyhow, this is perhaps the first time i actually haven’t been active as I use to be, due to work and all that jazz. Speaking of job, i put in an application at my college to work in the IT department since I know the environment and would be somewhat easier for me. fingers crossed So hows the crowd coming along?
