A bad game and a game selling poorly are not the same thing. I don't think anybody wants to play a bad, boring, messy or otherwise poorly constructed game in most circumstances.

Really strong effort by the junior members in this thread, jesus.
You might wanna read through the thread
I don't care what anyone else says. ADS to offer different situations between guns with different accuracies and engaging at different distances make the game mechanics deeper.
Don't want a bunch of laser guns everywhere
Sorry I hurt your feelings.

The biggest problem is that they actually built themselves up into thinking that their opinion and what they posted on GAF was genuinely influential.

Looks so dull, I expected more from the creators of halo and a half billion dollar budget :/
Is this what the division going to end up being?
Ps: how did a guy at Ubisoft get a hold of this?!

People were mad about that? The internet can be a strange place.

??? Those two are different situations
It's pretty different when someone wants a game to be bad and when a game is bad itself, so someone wants that game to sell badly
No one wants a game to be bad, but if a game is bad then many people would want that game to fail

i'm not a fan of borderlands and with this sharing similarities i dunno if this will be for me.
can't believe i'm saying this but cod will save us this fall (shooter-wise)

People shouldn't read too much into just these early Alpha video's. Based on what little official marketing there has been, the Public Events looks like an area where this game will really shine. Lots of potential for innovation and fun experiences there. This game is meant to be played in groups despite an effort to make a single player experience possible.

Needs a caption asap.
The AI is some of the worst I have ever seen.

Just watched the last part as the others are unavailable to me. Gunplay looks very nice. AI looks dumb. And exploding bodies? I guess I would have liked a little more persistence on them.
2:19 that A.I.......
Some run into you and die, some run away from you and die, others don't even notice you and die. I hope they fix this in later builds

It's clearly not done. No way the AI would be that bad at retail. At least I can't imagine Bungie would release the game with AI like that.

AI looked pretty bad, but I don't expect that to remain the same in the final version. We'll see a closer iteration of final AI when the beta launches.

The player vs. enemy dynamic has looked pedestrian in pretty much everything I've seen from the game including these videos. I really thought this was going to be the evolution of Halo's encounter design, but I've yet to see anything approaching that.
Every piece of footage from Destiny has been like a build up without the climax. I need a scarab battle or large scale on-foot + vehicle mayhem with like 20 enemies ASAP.

Yeah, first thing that hit me. Instantly killed what little hype I had for Destiny. The A.I. was terrific in Halo, I thought, and helped make the game as fun as it was for me. Destiny's enemies seem to have little to no intelligence of any kind, and combined with the run-of-the-mill shooting, this doesn't paint a favorable picture so far. Hopefully it gets better.
damnn they really gotta improve the AI. That was just sad.

And that's why devs are so hesistant to show things off early. It's in an alpha state, dude. I'm sure the AI will improve
In reference to my previous post, I really think aim-down-sight is hurting the FPS genre IMO. If i can ADS without feeling like I'm trying to hunt in real life, fine. I don't get the immersion factor in scoping in then strafing in cement. Gimme my arena shooter Bungie.

ADS has nothing to do with this. Look at Quake's sandbox of weapons, or Counter-Strike, or Halo. Weapons have varied firing types, projectile ranges and spreads. Quake has far more "guns with different accuracies" than a CoD game that essentially has like 4, SMG class, AR class, Shotgun and Sniper class weapons.
Go check out Unreal and the weapons in that game then get back to me about engaging at different ranges with weapons of different accuracies and deep game mechanics. Or Tribes for that matter, seriously ADS adds nothing to the shooter genre, except more casual fans that don't know what they are talking about.

Well, there's no need to judge it to quickly, but what I see here is not something that makes me rush off and buy a PS4 exactly.

The game is out in 3 months. Can they really improve AI significantly in that time?
LOL this is going to become the official Destiny fanboy response on their site

I suppose I'm in the minority here but it looks like it'll be a pretty fun co-op game depending how the game scales to having more players in a game.
I actually like Dinklage's voice acting too. Sure it sounds a bit monotonous but I always kind of thought that was intentional. Then again I just like his voice in general so it's hard for me to be disappointed in that respect I guess.

I played Brink when it was released... That's the equivalent of playing an alpha, right?
"Yeah, let's show off the same environments, monotonous quests, and terrible AI to build hype!"
I'll still buy it anyway.

There's that word again, "generic". It's being thrown around for lots of games coming down the pike. I don't know what non-generic gameplay would even look like anymore. There just isn't much space for major design changes that wouldn't be accused of gimmickry.
