Wow Reddit is horrible. People are just shitting on Bungie for how much they sucked at playing crucible during the stream. News flash: the people you see playing aren't the only people who test the game. Their performance is not indicative of their ability to design or balance games.

This is why we can't have nice things.

So glad DBO is civilized. :-)

With HBO/DBO, discussions can be heated, but people tend to give a certain amount of respect to each other/Bungie. At least in the past, there was always the potential that someone from Bungie would read and respond to what you wrote. I think that changes how people talk and the quality of the conversation/criticism.

This is why I've used DBO to curate my xbox live friendships (outside of those I know in person). Posting on the same site that you visit with people you play with makes you accountable for your words. It tends to filter out the drive-by internet jerks who make comments on youtube videos.

All that to say, I don't visit reddit very often. I think it can be good, but there's not a lot that holds the community together and the conversation often suffers. That being said, the sheer volume of users usually means they are quick to turn up interesting things.
