A Thought About Destiny's Reception (Destiny)

I'm hoping this will be just like the first Assassin's Creed. Excellent core mechanics, but little in the way of variety or story, roundly criticised (and justifiably so). Then the sequel fixes all the problems and is universally lauded.

I also have high hopes for the sequel and what happens before the sequel. This metacritic crap might be good for Bungie in the long run. A straight trajectory to World Domination is boring. I don't find all the criticisms fair, but many are. I'm willing to bet there are a lot of people in the studio who had the same criticisms before a single review was published, and plans were already in place to address them. This time the narrative is "the most expensive game ever is disappointing." That sets the stage for the narrative next time, which we can hope is "Bungie makes good on Destiny's promise."
