If anyone from Bungie is reading this, please show some footage of a player swiftly and gracefully donging on enemies with pure hip fire at E3. Thanks.
And it's a footage of a closed alpha build that wasn't supposed to be leaked. And frankly, the tone of those posts are more like ''This game is shit'' than ''People are just calling it as they see it'' if ya ask me.
Why is this a bad thing? Borderlands is very diablo-ey, which again is not a bad thing.
Borderlands is jokes and humor, this has more of a fleshed out multiplayer element with multiple world's and online events.

While dancing and doing somersaults.
That way the game stops being generic and it will excite people.
So true.
But I also have to agree with this. People freaking out over Alpha footage and rough Betas are the reason things are so fucked up these days.
Nowadays you have studios putting out demos under the title "Beta" because actually letting people play an Alpha or Beta just ends up in a bunch of dumbasses crying about everything thats not yet polished, finalized or balanced. Total overreaction overload. They end up damaging their games potential by even offering Alphas and Beta access.

But we already knew that from the initial reveal if anyone actually listened to what they were saying...
You're judging an alpha you weren't even invited to play. To be fair our positive comments shouldn't matter either considering we weren't supposed to see this ourselves.
With that said, I feel this game gets a lot of negative remarks and I won't be arguing with people when it comes out because I'll be too busy playing it. Hell I suffered through that other MMO on ps3/360 (the one tied into that TV show, game so memorable that I forgot it's name) just for the concept alone, full well knowing Bungie will take that same concept and do it better. (minus TV shows)

This looks fantastic. Like, I should get a PS4 fantastic.
Best of luck to the guy who leaked it though, he's going to need it.

Defiance?
Well of course it was streamed to Ustream.
I thought it looked alright. Personally I felt that the original Halo was the only one that really nailed it. The others were just... eh... I just wasn't feeling it. The guns didn't feel as impactful. It's the same with Borderlands. Anyway I'll probably sink a lot of hours into this. There's not really a ton of good co-op FPS RPG games out there, and I'll never get another Halo.
Edit: Oh, damn. The snowy area looks pretty nice, and the menus look fantastic. That character screen? Damn!

There really aren't that many (new or mainstream) games that are built around that principle anymore. I respect their decisions, and they aren't wrong or bad for doing what they chose to do. For myself, I am getting mixed signals though. From what I remember, they wanted to facilitate to the competitive arena shooter crowd while also doing the MMOFPS deal. Hopefully they can deliver on both ends.

I said nothing about general speed of play/combat. Interesting that you bring that up though because the most popular ADS shooters on the market right now such as COD, Battlefield, and Titanfall have quick, twitchy gunplay compared to something like Halo which has much more medium paced.
My comments were simply in response to these layers/depth of gunplay for ADS or non-ADS combat and obviously my preference in a game like this is just my opinion, although I believe ADS combat that prevents continued full range of play movement weakens the game.

Without trying to get to far into the roughshod "entitled gamers" meme, which is (almost) as bad as "lazy devs," I agree.
Gamers can't say they want more openness and less tightly-controlled marketing narratives from publishers and devs while simultaneously punishing them any time something happens that deviates from the tightly-scripted playbook.
In video 3 he used a power
Not to mention he's using the least interesting class (Hunter) IMO
That's the feeling I get sometimes. Getting crazy hyped over a game is totally ok, while thinking it's boring "you're crazy for judging it so early"
Maybe we should either judge them or not judge them at all
If the world if fun to explore and full of cool things to see/shoot/loot, then i am all for it. The mix of dark and nasty indoor sections and then massive open areas is nothing new but it looks lovely in Destiny. I cannot wait to see what their plans are for end-game content like their Raid's etc.

Destiny is not an MMO, never was aimed to be, and never will be.
It's a co-op game with instances and sometimes people can meetup.

I say we judge games rationally. Something a lot of the negative posters don't really seem to do.
The comments regarding AI for instance, stick out like a sore thumb. Judging the AI of the game, and Bungie capabilities at making AI from closed alpha videos is honestly moronic.
So he's got the genre wrong.. but that's not what his post was about.
He's right you know, people are acting like this is the final build.

Have they said whether the game is 30 or 60fps?
I think the co-op elements will be the most interesting for me. I hope they fill the world and give players plenty of things to find. Hopefully something along similar lines to the Terminals in Halo. Love that extra lore stuff and Destiny certainly has some massive lore possibilities behind it.
