Destiny

[Guest]

I think it's more driven by the fact that no game has ever gotten close to the amount of pre-release awards from every event it's been at and the fact that it's being developed by a proven team that made the best FPS in history.

I'll admit to not being up to date on TitanFall, or even Destiny for that matter, but the "best FPS in history" comment is why. People will suck up to West and Zampella because of that, and I think they could put out a terrible game in TitanFall and still get good reviews on it. They're about as teflon as you can get in the gaming industry.

Which is funny considering most of those awards were dolled out before any of those people even had any hands on. They were based on videos and the reputation of West & Zampela, which is pretty ridiculous.
It was like the 80's when women would throw their panties onto the stage before Prince even walked out.

It doesn't hurt that even after everyone got hands on, if they were able to anyway with the popularity of the game, they all said the same things from the trailer.

If it busts, it will be an epic one.

Pretty sure a lot of people played the game and still liked it.

What is it about Titanfall that makes you want to hate it so much?

If this game doesn't feel like as much fun as plowing 3 pornstars on a coke binge, it's going to be a let down. Seen this hype before, it's shitty IMO. Raises your expectations too high....it's just a video game no matter what.

Anyways, Destiny, yes.

But like I said, a majority of all the "awards" it received were based on videos alone. It was pretty pathetic how much praise was being heapedbin the game when no one had even played it.
So my annoyances about it are simple. The immense amount of hype for what is just another video game. Plus the fact that it literally looks like CoD (quite possibly the most overrated game series in the history of games) with mechs. Everything down to the way the scoring is done and how it is displayed after a kill screams CoD.
The fact that they're basically doing the same thing they've been doing almost their entire developmental career, yet was so secretive and then when it was revealed was showered in adulation.
At least with Bungie they aren't making another space marine game with hover boards.

Even if these awards are given based on the videos, what does it matter when everyone that went hands on praised it just the same, many of them hyping it even more than the trailer? Even if these awards were handed out after the hands on experiences, the results would have been eerily similar.

The stuff I have seen that involved in-game shit seemed pretty cool. That's it.

Any negativity seems like it's a weirdo attempt to try and shit on MS for locking this up. I don't know how someone can look at what has been shown and say "meh".

EDIT -- Sorry, Destiny looks okay too.

Ah, did not know about Mechs. Mechs are historically hard to pull off in any video game, so if they even get passable Mech play and have a game that is as addictive as COD, it's going to be a success.

I need to catch up on everything though. Damn work.

Go watch the trailer NAO.

And I don't know how people can look at it and be so floored. It's not innovative at all.
Please with anti-MS bullshit. I've said from day one I couldn't care less about this game. Even when all the info came out that said it was a times exclusive and would come to the PS4, I was staunch with my opinion. Feel free to go back and check every one of my posts on the game.
After you've had some more chardonnay and drunk purchase a game from Xbox Live of course.

Thankfully, you're in the extreme minority with this one.

[Twigg4075]

Thankfully? Why, do you own EA stock?

No, but I do love a quality FPS and the popularity of this game means more in the future.
