I admit, BDobbins makes some good points sometimes...

But he's definitely gone off the deep end and is way too high on his own popularity. The video should start at 3:35, at which point he starts ranting about how Collectors Editions of every game are basically pointless, and how we ALL live paycheck to paycheck and are too rooted down to experience life outside of video games. This is the person we should listen to for advice about what we should buy? The nice thing about being an autonomous human being is that I can pretty much decide what I want to do with my money. BDobbins wants you to feel bad about spending your money where you want to, if it doesn't fit into his narrow world view. If you don't like Destiny; if you agree with some of the good points he does make: Great. Hope you had fun where you could, check back from time to time, we'll miss you. DON'T tell people they don't know how to live their lives like this tool does. DON'T tell people that their reasons for liking a thing aren't good enough. If you do like Destiny, and plan to continue playing it for now: Cool. I'll see you around the Dreadnought come September. Take a break if you're getting bored. Destiny will be there when you're ready. DON'T call people that are leaving Destiny names (you sound like a fanboy tool). DON'T worry about what other people think of the game (it's enough that you like it). TL;DR: BDobbins is a tool. Every tool has its uses, but this one is broken. Send it back. Don't try to ruin Destiny for people that like it if you don't. If you do like Destiny, don't be a dick to people that don't. If you can't be nice, just leave each other the -blam!- alone. I don't even have to tell my six year old that.

  • Telling me not to tell you how to live your life is telling me how to live mine. So by your logic I shouldn't listen to you. You entirely misrepresented his stance. He is very sensible and doesn't see the over priced collectors items as being worth the money. I've seen the video, he never said not to buy them, he just didn't see any reason to buy them since they don't add value to the content of the game. What he is arguing is that so far the DLC's haven't been worth the price and that people should stop buying them until more effort is put into them. This would only [i]help[/i] the game. So if you like the game, I don't understand why you wouldn't want it to improve. And if you don't see any room for improvement you obviously are new to games. "I'll spend my money how I want" is an incredibly ill conceived cop-out and any sensible person reading will see that you have no argument to stand on. I have no problem with collectors editions, that is just an incredibly intellectually void response. The argument isn't wether your [i]able[/i], it's wether you [i]should[/i]. A strict dichotomy obviously separates these concepts. He makes a case that the pros don't justify the monetary requirement. He thinks people are being ripped off and wants to see it end. He's only trying to help. The fact that he made you feel bad about your purchase because he made a great case as to why you shouldn't have made said purchase reveals a self-esteem issue. That is a personal issue on your part, not his. How about you combat his [i]argument[/i] rather than his [i]motives[/i]. The fact that you are attacking the [i]individual[/i] rather than the [i]argument[/i] is an obvious sign of blind bias. Again, I have nothing against how you spend your money. But this post was just a big bias rant.
