First off I am going to say this and it goes for anyone complaining about any game (warning this may turn into a rant).

If you have any complaint about any game at all, no matter what it is, and you think you could do it better? THEN GO MAKE THE GAME YOURSELF! Does anyone even realise how hard it is anymore to make a game as huge as destiny is or many other games like it. This has been years in the making.

But lets go over some of the arguements I have heard for this game and lets see my response.

1) The game is too much like other games. (ie. Halo, borderlands, etc.)

Well of course it will be. Almost every new idea out there can be related to another game because almost every type of game has been done already. You can make almost any connection between any game if you really wanted to.

2) The story is too short and doesn't explain a whole lot.

Well whoever says this is completely missing the whole point of what games like this do. Have you heard of the grimoires? Yeah that weird score thing that keeps popping up you know nothing about. Well that is actually linked to your profile on bungie.net where you can go look at cards you have unlocked. and guess what? On each card it tells about the background and story. So just like some other games have (such as dark souls and borderlands) you have to read some item descriptions to get some more of the lore going on.But guess they were just too lazy to actually go figure that out

3. It is a grind fest to get materials or get levels.

No shit sherlock. Have you ever played an MMO before?

4. the RNG is crap.

Okay this one makes me laugh every single time. For those of you who don't know RNG means random number generatation. Which means that every time you kill something or complete a mission or finish a crucible match you have a random chance at getting something. People are complaining because they are impatient and want all the good gear now instead of waiting for it. Here is my words to them. What part of the random in RNG do not get? IT means random for a reason. Don't like it? Well sucks to be you then cause RNG is in a lot of games now.

5. All the enemies are so repetitive.

Now this one is retarded just from looking at it but I did some research to prove my point on it. Did you know in Destiny there are actually 23 different enemy types, not including bosses or drop ships. Yeah I counted them. Did you know Halo 4 only has about 8 different enemy types with a few different colors. So there is that for logic. Won't list them all but you can look it up yourself.

6. The story isn't long enough and they are making us pay for expansions.

I have heard this from the same people who will go out and buy every COD and all their DLCs every year. but anyways. The story actually does take a while if you don't blast through the whole thing it does take a while. And even after you get through all that, the real game starts once you get up past level 20. There is so more more things to do and accomplish. All that random stuff you thought was useless before now finally becomes useful. You get so much gear, harder missions to accomplish. You think that boss was easy at level 4? Try him again at level 20 or even level 28 and see how much of a challenge it is. And if that isn't enough for you. Bungie has been releasing free, let me repeat that, FREE CONTENT since the game came out and are continuing to do it so there should be no complaints at all that there is nothing to do.

So there it is my rant about it. Destiny is an amazing game and it is only going to get better. I am completely hooked on it and have only scratched the surface with one character. Now stop complaining about games and just do what we are suppose to do... enjoy them. That is all. Chill Out.


Edit: since you edited your post when I was posting mine I didn't get to see it. Did you know in pvp they make everyone more on an even playing field? I am a level 27 and can still be killed by level 7s just as easily as I can by a level 28. That arguement is invalid. Please look it up before you complain about it
Well worded. I'm not complaining just to complain mind you. These are just some things I noticed playing through the game. It's much more difficult to kill a level 25 when you are a level 9 that everyone can agree on. Level 25 will do some crazy ass acrobatics and teleportations and I'm just like "I can throw a grenade..." Perhaps they could better balance the teams so it's not so "Pro vs. noob." Never bitched about the Expansions and free stuff. You are correct, enemies are not repetitive, though the bosses either stand there and sponge or die very quickly. I actually like the way the RNG is set up. Not a big grinder, but fuck it killing things can be fun. My biggest issue is that the story is so badly structured. I get the whole grimoire thing being a ME fan with that long-ass codex. Destiny just doesn't explain anything at all throughout the story missions. Why am I getting this thing and what will it do? I kinda just wish we got more context into what we were doing. The load times are a bit long also, but that's to be expected with newer tech anyway. It's been said that the game really takes off at level 20, so I'm hoping that the raids are as good as Myth and Anarchy were saying. Also don't insult me for offering a bit of criticism on some glaring things that annoy the piss out of me while I'm playing.
