[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

Edited by TrulyDontCare: 7/18/2015 6:12:48 PMI could deal with the over the top complaining over the nerfs/Xur, but this thread makes me want to completely give up on this forum. I love a successful troll, but this is ridiculous (and not the first time this has been posted). Check out the link and see what I mean. The stupidity here is killing me.

Edited by The Kingdom Key: 7/18/2015 6:09:49 PMThis obvious rick roll must have taken you a very long time to set up (with the news story and all). Wait, people are actually taking this b8? Holy shit.

Its. A. Game.

If it wasn't Fox, I would be looking for the satire tag, but unfortunately, Fox are the biggest bunch of reactionary, commie hating, xenophobes and bigots that ever walked the earth, so I am surprised the article wasn't accusing bungie of reincarnating the red army and taking over the world with the help of brainwashed gamers!

Fox news: "If you want a made up, completely autistic story, we've got lots of 'em!"

Edited by Ricicles23: 7/18/2015 5:18:38 PMHahahah this is hilarious. Nonsense and hilarious. This is believable because of the dude who tried to say the muppet movie from a few years ago was pro communism. That actually happened. Retarded if you believe a word of it.

Parents can take control of kids game time simple as that I always limit kids play time it's the addicted adults who can blow on any dlc that destiny gets and there able to do what they want at the end of the day

Who's "The Speaker"? Was he cut from the original game content and Fox News has access to it?
-
Lol "blindly following the speaker" I've heard him say like 2 things in the entire game. I go where I want to go.
-
Fox news is absolutely right. Destiny is evil garbage and should burn in hell!
