Fear for Destiny (Destiny)

by yakaman, Tuesday, April 29, 2014, 07:35 (3860 days ago) @ Reconcilliation

A well made game, but not a good game.

At the risk of being ridiculed and and vilified: the above is what I fear. Hold on now - haters gonna hate and all that, but I can't shake it. Here's a list of what's bothering me:

Reach lost me and my friends, very quickly, very abruptly
Bungie's partnership with Activision (potential meddling)
A pretty bland initial reveal - how is Destiny different?
Departure of some core Bungie personnel
Delay in schedule
Courting of PS owners at expense of XBox owners (admittedly irrational)
Departure of very core Bungie personnel
A new reveal that had almost no impact on me

The Beta will serve as an instantaneous market correction, and all of the above will be rendered irrelevant. I wait, however uneasily.

I respect this forum and its users greatly, and I hesitate to express my sentiments here. But...I can't shake it. A prediction is silly; an expressed sense of unease seems reasonable.
