Read his reply again, he said he hadn't seen the kind of specfic post I mentioned, so I provided him with it. Concerns are fine, but the actual comment that spawned this thread was pretty tame, even for GAF's usual over-reactions.
Seems this topic spawned from a lack of information about the game, beyond the beta. Outside from a few outliers, I'm not seeing much over-reactions. It seems over reaction claims pop up the most when people have some form of negativity, while ignoring what is probably more frequent, which is over-reactions in the positive with things.
I've seen more legitimate concerns over the possibility of too little content, based on their experiences with Old Russia having, subjectively, too little content in it as a basis. As it stands that is all we have to go off of. If people are happy with what is there, great, but I'd say pessimism is more helpful then "oh, it will be great, don't fucking worry". Hell, I see a lot of people in here saying they will still buy it, but are still concerned about how long they will enjoy/play it vs original expectations.
And yes, I read his reply, but again, it would be like me pointing out the people in this thread who have done nothing in it, but try and combat any concerns people have about the game. You pick the conversations to get into for a reason.
although after reading a lot of the replies in this thread, I am starting to think some of Bungie's fans are children.
Do people really think demanding an itemized list of every location/mode/feature in the game AFTER accusing Bungie of shorting the game on content to force people to buy DLC was a mature and logical course of action?
This, to me, reads like focusing on the few shit posts to brush away legit ones. More then half of the complaints of people being negative is using this train of thought, honestly; highlight the shit posts and bring those up.
Very few people are asking them to detail everything about the game, people just want mroe information about end game and the more about the content over all. As it stands we have very little.
