Those posts were acknowledging the high probability that the game would not live up to the hype. They just came in a hyperbolic, unqualified terms but that's standard on forums. But they were absolutely right. "Alright" is a problem. Anything less than great is a problem for these massive games.
It's weird seeing that considering the Halo games have had pretty good AI.
I'm confused as to why they did'nt just disable streaming. Thought the developers could control that.

Aesthetically, there's nothing wrong with it if hip fire is accurate up to a certain range and ADS is used for longer ranges. It's only when it affects movement and hip fire that I find it to be a bore.
Again, I don't mind it in PvE modes, but shooting other players with it is very unsatisfying , especially in games where you die in less than a second.

Couldn't they disable the Share button?

ADS is more like in the real world.. You don't see many soldiers etc. shootin' from the hip - accuracy comes from ADS and yes it slows you down, like in the real world, and it feels more real in video games.

I am not disappointed with how the game looks, and personally I think it's early and unfair to criticize a game in its Alpha stage. When I will possibly get my hands on the game (and most likely, sometime after release as I am not from the press) then I will make constructive criticism and conclusions with some foundation.
Everything about this game and games like this(Borderlands) just look like they're taking the standard FPS formula and attaching numbers and a carrot on a stick to arbitrarily make fights take long, put in more filler content and just provide a dull experience.
If you look at a raid or even a dungeon in WoW, they have the holy trinity to make the experiences different from each other. You do have minor mechanics to do which tries to make it unique. Everything I've seen so far of this game is 'clickclickclickclick' stand behind cover and reload because the AI isn't aggressive enough to go after you. And what is the other guy in your party doing? Likely the exact same thing.
It just looks like a treadmill. I hope they show something good at E3 because everything I've seen about Destiny just makes me think I'm TOLD to think it's great not that they've shown that it's great.

Looks pretty good
I play video games for fun. ADS is less fun to me, it's that simple.
Not to mention that Counter-Strike feels far more realistic than CoD or Battlefield. Original Rainbow Six, Operation Flashpoint, ARMA series, America's Army, those are far more realistic, and don't rely on ADS.
This guy obviously doesn't give a fuck about his career.
Oh god, is he dancing at 0:53?

This! So much! For the life of me I can't understand the bitching about the voice acting. It's what they are going for people! You might not like it, but that doesn't make it objectively bad!
I thought it looked pretty meh. It is alpha footage though.

I kind of agree, but I think it's best to wait until beta to draw any larger conclusions. It's really hard to get a feel for a game that's meant to be a massively-multiplayer online experience through 1-2 player Alpha videos, and short, small group gameplay tidbits. At this point I'm willing to chalk it up to poor marketing, but time will tell.
It's one of the emotes you can use in Destiny.
He doesn't fit. There are plenty of people who have played robotic AIs and they've done much better performances than what's on display here.

dat Division sabotage. He ain't getting fired. He's getting promoted.
Sorry, but this is a lot of nonsense.
This isn't a twitch based shooter such as UT or QT3 where ADS would impact the pace.

I don't think Bungie ever set out to reshape fight encounters though. I mean, I wish they did, especially since I don't like modern shooter mechanics other than Halo's; nevertheless, Destiny's main attraction is supposed to be its social adventure aspect. You'd explore a large, ever-evolving world and encounter other players along the way. You can group up with them and show off your gear and go find new ones, or you may choose to go off on your own journey and "create your own story".
It's a rather basic premise that could be incredibly enjoyable if it was accomplished. The problem is just that - it sounds good on paper, but they continue to show everything except Destiny's selling point.
This post says it best. They've promised a monumental game but have failed to show anything that delivers on that promise for over a year now. It's amusing how leaks like these do a better job of showing us what it is than the devs themselves do.
I don't think anybody really wants the game to be bad, but if it ends up bombing commercially, Bungie and Activision wont have anyone to blame but themselves.

Was the entire mission there to go up that ramp, jump into the gave and kill those 2-3 guys? If so, is this what we can expect from most of the missions? Structure: go to X and kill some -> Mission accomplished -> next?
Please enlighten us on how the rest of the game turns out, review scores, sales etc etc.

As much as I hate Halo and Bungie games in general, this game will not bomb. Activision's marketing will be through the roof and people will buy it on hype alone.

Anyone download these videos? They got removed before I was able to check them out sadly.
Eh, given the fact that some people were mad that Watch Dogs sales were huge, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the same case with Destiny.
