Is Destiny a Lifeless Husk?

A lifeless husk apparently. Another review that calls out Destiny's many flaws dealing with repetitiveness.

Reviewer seems like a good guy. He'll have many kids. I see it in his future.

So SW is not ok with quoting vgchartz but totally ok with random reader reviews. Got it!

Good review. He isn't scared of telling it like it is. Reminds me of someone here.

I knew within the first couple paragraphs it was Champ.

well they're two different things. One is using VGChartz as a reference for sales numbers, the other is a review (which people always say is just someone's opinion).

Stop being so butthurt all the time because you don't read the damn rules

I'd dismiss this review, writer is a well known Bungie hater. Can't trust him for a second.

Lots of people tried the beta, yes, but not everyone did, and I bet a lot of people were expecting some more variety of content after the beta. I knew if I were interested in the game, I would have expected the beta to offer a mere tiny slice of the total content of the game. But it wasn't like that. What was in the beta, was essentially the game but stretched out over 20+ hours.

lol what, I like Persona 4.

I object to the notion that "something can't be called objectively rubbish because it's objectively not rubbish'...like bitch please, the quality of a game is totally subjective, and if someone did have valid reasons for why they thought the game was rubbish: the piss poor dungeon designs+having standards above video game stories, then yeah, I would say one is totally justified to call it rubbish. It's a matter of justification, not defending Maroxed's opinion, those are usually laughable to me, but more so the notion that he doesn't have a right to his opinion because of some grand misunderstanding of what the word objective means.

Did you really post "you're fat" in the comments? I see you're a troll everywhere you go...

anyways, the game raised at 77 on metacritic. Its a decent enough score

a lot of that stuff you mention about the game not having enough content was reported on in a lot of articles actually. that's why I didn't buy it at launch

This kind of thing didn't work in Halo 4, and it doesn't work here.

I think the reviewer is a little confused. What does a 343 game have to do with Bungie?

Mafia 2's story telling is one of the few examples where you can't say all video game stories are pathetic.

I don't know if I was happy or pissed. Fucking Mads Mikkelsen.

Btw, you have any clue when season 3 is coming?

You may be the one that is confused, saying that something that didn't work in one game and yet was implemented in another doesn't mean that both games are from the same people.

February would be my guess as that was the time slot last year.

But it should be sometime through January-march, the original seasons April release was to launch the show because NBC logic.

Yeah that will probably be January as well as HBO doesn't really have anything for that stretch right now.

Fall-winter run is Boardwalk's time.

Boardwalk is honestly a little unimpressive given the people working on it. 1 and 2 are great seasons though, that pilot is top notch as ****.

Who's working on it? I know Steve Buscemi and Michael Shannon are in it. They're cool dudes.

Hell, I'll just check it for the pilot then.

Terrance Winter is also one of the big writers and was an exec-producer on The Sopranos. So I don't know I expected more, but still bitchin scenes

I have seen both seasons, it's amazing. And haunting, too. **** all of those pansy ass shows that you forget after a night's sleep. Hannibal doesn't let you forget!

Endless butthurt. The reviewer probably isn't very good at the game.. Probably isn't very good at lyfe.. Probably a low key jets fan and feels the need to spread the salt to others...

Man, that line delivery was beyond perfect.

Hmm.. It does sound appealing. I might just do Sopranos first. Let the Boardwalk seasons go by gently.

@freedomfreak do Sopranos first, definitely. But more importantly The Wire, Boardwalk can wait ;p

Fo'shizzle.

I started The Wire, but had to stop due to some personal shit at the time, and never got back into it. I like Idris Elba, so I should just start over. Was half way through the first season anyway.
