Had nothing to do with key words and tag lines, if you read what I wrote it was what we were SHOWN.

Yeah, well Carl's Jr shows Paris Hilton and Kate Upton eating their burgers in their commercials, and I don't see people griping about them not coming with the food that looks nothing like what is advertised. Seriously though, Titanfall did the same thing, marketed their game as this amazing new experience and it was just PVP with AI cannon fodder. Halo has been the same exact rehashed shit since the beginning of the franchise and people ate that shit up. As a matter of fact, people are going to buy the entire Halo franchise all over again and get damn near the same game they've already played for the past 10 years rehashed for a new console. Look if Bungie and Activision announced they were ceasing all development on Destiny effective immediately and would release no more patches or content, you have a valid argument. But they marketed and sold this as an evolving game with planned content releases, yada, yada. The frameworks there for them to add way more stuff and 2 months later it feels the same. I get it! You're bored, you paid $60 for a game you feel is half complete. But I don't feel it's half complete, we bought the base model and will be required to buy upgrades. Video Games have been $60 since the original Xbox and PS2 man, we've spanned 3 console generations without an increase in price to the base game, but today's technology allows for all this revolving and add on content the shake things up. This seems like a new things for consoles to have an MMO type game with event like content and such. Give it time, it will get better. Call of Duty Ghosts was also incomplete and lacking a good story at launch. They had a very basic flat predictable Campaign, 1, and I repeat 1, ONLY 1 extinction mission/mode and then PVP. I beat the game in a couple days, played a bit of PVP, that got old so I moved on to same exact Extinction mission over and over. In 2 weeks I completely burned through that game. After the DLC released though and several months of content releases, updates and patches, it's a completely different game. Extinction mode heavily evolved from what it was and it was worth playing again. That took nearly a year. Here we are 2 months out from launch on Destiny and people are complaining the game is incomplete and lacking content. Seems to me it's just getting started and they are taking their time to see what the community really gravitates toward before investing time to develop the new content. Imagine how much a wasted effort it would have been for Bungie to have a bunch of fully developed, unreleased content that was very similar to the base game that many people are already griping about? Imagine if they spent a ton of time making a Grimoire library in the tower and nobody used it? Imagine if they made Sparrow races part of the original game and people felt it was out of place for a FPS? Imagine if they released this elaborate committed story line that sucked instead of the widely open ended story we got? Imagine Bungie may be smart enough to throttle content so they can test out ideas on their consumer base before doing a full on deep development cycle in an aspect of the game every may just hate? Sorry for the long winded post, and I may be full of shit, Bungie may be screwing us all, but I'll wait until after the game has been out a year and it's had ample time for content buffs before I write it off.

hmmmmm............................ tic toc tic toc, bang bump screech. (went the sound of my brain) you sir make a valid point. maybe just maybe bungie DO want to make the game we want iv had a moan in the past admittedly, but maybe to soon, instead of having a gripe, maybe everyone should voice there opinion on what should be in the game, Bungie may just be waiting to see what we want, and be having a big giggle at al us moaning, knowing they are going to do us proud. Bungie for the time being I'M SORRY ScottLeddy27 you have made a big change in my thinking. Thank you

I think Destiny is really trying to bring MMO style genre to the console and with it being some what of an industry first, it's not going to be perfect. I've never played a game that quite has the amazing and fluid online co-op experience that Destiny has. Don't get me wrong, I wish there was more content, I think they could have given us more at launch, but what we got is still damn fun and very fluid and solid gameplay, and it doesn't mean the content won't ever come along. People try to praise Borderlands 2 over Destiny for content alone. I'll say this, I've never experienced Destiny with the awful lag and choppiness I saw in Borderlands on a simple 2 player online co-op game. Content can always be addressed easily by simply adding more, but it's hard to fix shitty gameplay and Destiny has a solid foundation. As for the connection errors and the KTOs other experience, I've been lucky enough to never been kicked from a game until the day of this recent patch when they claimed to fix it. But it is what it is, I just deal with and carry on.
