Activision and Bungie Seem To Be Pretty Desperate Here...

deactivated-5d6bb9cb2ee20 · 2014-09-28 02:04:38

So, you know how most blockbuster AAA games, after their release, have a trailer where they show footage of the game, interspersed with good review scores and quotes, to show everyone how well that game has been received?Well, naturally, Destiny, which is the biggest AAA release of the year, also got one of these. Except, there's one snag- there aren't a great many good reviews for Destiny, right? At least, not the kinds that you use for these ads. So, Activision and Bungie were forced to dig deeper into the barrel to make this kind of ad. Like... scrapping the bottom of the barrel deeper.Here's a snapshot: I mean, just look at that. It has a perfect score from The Sunday Mirror and The Sun, Hobby Consolas the Daily Star, and TechTudo, BioGamerGirl, and EveryEye.It all think it's a great game too! Surely it's worth it!P.S.: Funny story, one of the high scores they have displayed over there is XGN. XGN is a clan. At this point, they'd be better off just using random quotes from System Wars posters.EDIT: Some quotes from these reviews:The Sun: 'Wow!'CheatCC: 'One area that excels past the Halo standard, for me, is the story. It's about aliens and space.'

Desperate indeed. Guess they should have greased the wheels a bit more or maybe their usual shills were busy with Gamergate ;)

This was either put together by an intern who doesn't know shit, or an executive who thinks he knows everything but doesn't know shit. Pretty sad.

and here i had high hopes for this game due to how much people praise bungie, i dont think i'll buy another game made by bungie again after destiny.

Believe it or not, this isn't representative of how Bungie games usually are. Bungie games are usually amazing- their Halo quadrology in particular is stunning. And that is why their failure with Destiny is so baffling. Like... did they just forget how to make a good game, or what?

Could it possibly be that MS pushed them to greatness and now under the umbrella of Activision we're seeing whats left of Bungie and what they're capable of after 343 got it's share of their talent and after losing Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell.

Don't get me wrong, i like Destiny the gameplay is superb, but the rest is seriously lacking and it's clear that the Bungie we have today is not the same Bungie i followed fantatically for years. The passion is gone, probably replaced by greed.
