Joe 90% of the time hits game reviews right on the head perfectly........ This time I think he slipped up destiny by no means is a 10. Bungie hyped this game up so people are penalizing it for not being gods gift to earth. The game is a solid 8. PVP is fun and addictive, pve story line is lack luster, grinding is a lot if fun, and I rather like the random loot system. There haven't been any game breaking glitches or bad servers. The game had a smooth release and Bungie is giving us a good roll of free content every week.

That people think he is a moron or a douchebag doesn't really matter. That people think he regurgitates what the community in general thinks doesn't matter. He is spot on with this review. The points he brings up are all valid and he does list good and great aspects of the game. The only thing I found myself dissagreing on was how good the multiplayer is. It's good, but no where near as good as he said. If he puts what the general population of the game is thinking into a review, is it not a good tool for developers to use to find ways to improve customer satisfaction? Does it not give people buying it a good idea of what others have experiecned rather than just what one critic thinks? Not really a fan of his delivery or anything, but apparently a lot are, so whatever works for him.

What is so great about angry joe? His reviews and other gaming site reviews are always a little too much. Sure, they may have some good points once in a while, but most of them are getting too picky and anal about silly useless details that most gamers don't give a shit about, or wouldn't even notice if they were just playing the game. A good review is rare.

After Halo 3 and Reach, I was expecting a bad story, but they somehow made something worse than those

Finally having got to play the game over the weekend, reached Lvl 17, and the Defender Class....... I see the game has its merits. It's a fine shooter, reasonably good mechanics, hours to loot to play for, legendaries, daily, and weekly goals, etc. That's all pretty interesting too me and pretty much what I was expecting. Vex however were not..... very enjoyable enemy group to fight against. Less than "driving" plotline...... not so good. Less than interesting dialogue.....not so good. Oddly started the games core content at Lvl 20.... with nothing to do at 20+ but grind out light and crucible gear. Had a great deal of fun with the game, had a few "oh wow" moments, had many more "oh wow thats bad" moments while watching cut scenes. Still a more enjoyable game than some of the previous ones. Still looking forwards to 20+ and the Raids with the old gang.... if they wait for me to catch up.

Angry joe is more trustworthy then most reviewers as his isn't on anyone's payroll

Who is Angry Joe and why would I care about his opinion

I'll just go ahead and copy/paste my response to the review: Never watched one of his reviews before. Probably never will again. I'm quite tired of trying to counter every point for people so i'll just comment on a few. I agree that the PvP and gameplay is spot on. I agree that the story lacks a little (though not as much as he feels.) Halo 1 didn't answer much either or come with much. So if destiny is heading that same route i think all will be fine. I agree about the lore outside of the game. What's on the cards should be in the game. I Disagree on his view of the story. Perhaps the reason we don't get much to our character (lore wise) is because we are not an important piece in the over all story. Merely we spectate the universe in motion through a guardian. the soul series is like this. (not saying we shouldn't have more custom options just speaking from a lore perspective.) I disagree on the amature level design. Yes most missions are defense. But We can break down any game to that level. Halo, for instance, is mainly switch simulator. What really matters is the feel you get from it all. To me it didn't feel boring or repetitive. To him it did. it's a thing of perspective and should stop there. I also disagree on his grind complaints. Judging from this kind of way he talks he's not a fan of normal loot systems. He doesn't enjoy random. Which is fine it's not for everyone. But i don't think they did loot wrong in this game. In fact most RPG like games i've played that include a loot system make it heavily random based. It's common to get things not for your person. Destiny is repetitive. But I expected this when i heard it was going to borrow MMO elements. Nobody likes being shafted after some hard work. But i'd also not want things straight up handed to me just because i did X activity. Knowing that i can get something rare from doing those tough things is enough for me. This game doesn't feel repetitive to me. It's frustrating at times. But i love it overall. If i had to give it a review it would be a solid 8/10. If the expansions build on the entire game I will be even happier. I seriously hope they actually expand on every element like they stated. (meaning more strikes, raids, MP maps and loot etc.) Though The biggest ones for me will be strikes and raids. We don't get more of those i will actually be disappointed. As long as the remaining games build off of this they will become better and much more people will be pleased.

I totally agree with everything he said. Pvp and gameplay are keeping it alive. They're starving us of the story and character development to sell dlc.

Love this game but he's right on all fronts. I truly feel that Activision had some unsavory influence in Destiny's production. Most importantly I agree with his sentiment that it's less of a dislike for the game, and more disappointment that people are feeling. We all expected a lot from this and it seems like there were things supposed to be here that just aren't.

I don't trust Angry Joe by any means. He's not really all that great of a reviewer, and in my opinion, just a general dickmunch.

He didn't say anything that hasn't been said already.

He is one of my favorite reviewers and his points about this game definitely align with many or all of my own. It is sad to say that I completely agree with him on Destiny.

I honestly can't believe this game took 5 years and 500 million dollars to make? You know what else took 5 years to make? Skyrim, and Bethesda Game Studios is a third the size of Bungie, not to mention I bet their publisher gave them much less money.

Pretty much spot-on. Loved how he smashed the fanboy arguments as well.
