Do you really base your interest in purchasing a game or not solely in what reviewers say? What about what we have been saying here?

Dude, it's Oldboy. I don't think he even consumes media, he just reads the reviews instead.

Don't waste your time Gator. That's his M. O. I don't think he's capable of not asking questions.

No, if you bothered to read posts on this very page, you'd see why reviews weren't available on day one. On top of that, if you had done even a little google searching, you'd see that Destiny is the most pre-ordered game of all time. Calling it a bomb is laughably out of touch with reality.

You're free to have whatever impression of the gaming industry you like, but you can't just make up facts. Then again, it's never stopped you before.

This is starting to look like the big turkey of the year. Next gen has been a massive failure in 2014 with this bomb and so many delays into 2015.

I know, but I've never gotten anything from UPS after 5 before - further still amazon usually sends me my "release day" stuff USPS, not UPS - but of course, this one time, when I actually have the time to play, nada.

It's release day, so I'm sure couriers are busy with tons of Destiny packages and bundles.

And didn't finish the game but can't wait to play some more.

Brilliant blog post. About on par for Yahoo's standards though.

For what it's worth, it's actually taken from the site Boy Genius Report bgr.com which is a relatively popular tech blog.

BGR.com is nothing but clickbait.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I think I'll stay away from playing both an alpha and a beta release of a game prior to release in the future. It made the big chunk of what I played today very tedious. Also, as mentioned before, the drops so far are pretty weak compared to the beta.

I could see that being the case
really wished beta progress (at least for the campaign mode) carried over as an option for that very reason
