[quote]Expectations create from bungies oversized servings of hype. The funny part is that [url=http://kotaku.com/destiny-review-scores-may-cost-bungie-2-5-million-1635273500]bungie can't even meet their own expectations[/url], falling well short and loosing some handy $$ in the process (can sense another overpriced DLC on the way).[/quote] I don't think Bungie is the reason for the hype, I honestly think that's the community's fault. Bungie says something, fans talk about it and before you know it the original comment is taken way out of context and interpreted to mean something entirely different than what it originally meant. I would also agree with the sentiment that Bungie can't meet their own expectations. That's common in creative fields. It's what keeps people motivated to constantly make it better (so that they can meet their own expectations) and one of the reasons why people often hate projects that they've worked on. [quote]Glad you at least acknowledge the "[i]most people[/i]" element. A lot of the fanbois refuse to acknowledge the many-many bad reviews and the very low gamer scores. Some claim a hate fantasy, as if all those haters voted against the game and the fans forgot to show up.[/quote] I don't read reviews. From experiences with both game and movie reviews, critics tend to be overly harsh and focus on only the negative (after all, hate sells better than praise). Some things from reviews I probably agree with - this game is by no means perfect, no game is or ever will be - but I prefer to form my own opinion instead of blindly going along with what critics say. [quote]That's a little defeatist - do you honestly believe bungie will not listen?[/quote] I think that you're time would be much better spent playing a game you like. But if you want to add your voice to the crowd, be my guest. I may not agree with you, but more power to you.
