Honestly? EA. They have been changing recently, for the better. And as Mass Effect shows, they aren't afraid of story and cinematics for a game. If Bungie had gone to EA, I honestly believe we wpuld have a better Destiny.

Except for that whole issue with BF4 supposedly being so atrociously broken because EA rushed DICE for the sole purpose of competing with CoD Ghosts...
-
Battlefield is garbage. Destiny isnlt a CoD competetor. Diffent style of gameplay.
-
And SimCity being broken at launch, and NBA Live being utter trash, and NHL 15 missing all sorts of features.
-
Despite all the failures you point out, it still doesn't change the fact tat EA is one the biggest publishers in the industry - you don't get to that point by constantly failing....
-
You are right but the point being made wasn't that they aren't a big company with many past successes but rather that their recent track record hasn't been very stellar. In any case, I'm not sure EA (or anyone else) would have helped to make Destiny better. It's Bungie's baby and ultimately Bungie's responsibility as an independent studio.
-
I don't think Bungie has the resources (capital) to have developed Destiny independently.
-
That's not quite what I'm saying. While Bungie may have taken money from Activision to develop Destiny, it is Bungie's IP not Activision's and ultimately the choices being made in regards to the franchise are Bungie's not Activision's.
-
And you have proof of this? Regardless if Bungie owns the IP or not, they are still in a contractual agreement with Activision, and Activision is still funding Bungie's efforts, thus they very well could have the last say in decisions, especially in things like setting deadlines and what content to keep/cut and what charge for or not.
-
Who agreed to the terms of the contract and signed the contract with Activision? Bungie. Because of that Bungie is fully responsible for what Destiny is and isn't. They put themselves into the situation (favorable or unfavorable) and others throwing blame at Activision for perceived imperfections is just them wanting an easy scapegoat.

[quote]Who agreed to the terms of the contract and signed the contract with Activision? Bungie. [/quote] Which proves nothing in regards to the argument. Bungie may own the IP, but does not guarantee they have full creative freedom.
-
Actually it proves everything in regards to the argument. If they signed away creative freedom, that is on Bungie.
