You're sure it's a small amount of content? You've played the full game then?
I swear, no matter how many reviews or people end up stating that it has a lot of content, there are going to be people who are all, "would have had more content if they'd just put the expansions in the base game. Such a ripoff."

First The Last of Us' shadow's..
Now only have 4 huge explore areas in Destiny.
First of all, there was about...
4 blocked off areas in the Earth.
4 giant doors blocked off on the moon.
2 other planets we haven't even seen
RELAX. Some of you will buy a game for 10 hours of gameplay. I got nearly 60 hours from the Alpha and Beta combined. Only exploring locked/limited earth, level 8 cap, and 2 PVP maps.
And in that time I didn't even come close to level up all my class abilities.

Sure, why not?
By competitive I don't mean MLG pros. I'm talking about when there are two evenly matched teams playing to win. Doesn't matter if they're good or bad, just that they're about as good as each other.

Oh my god this place is full of retarded people. I've been playing the beta and it's just amazing. Here i was thinking how awesome the full game will be and how great it will be for playstation gamers to experience a bungie game, but this thread.... So much complaining! Sheesh!
Destiny will sell well, I'm not saying that it won't. Just consider how psyched people will be to play Destiny 2, 3, and whatever else when the first game keeps their attention for a week.
Canceling a preorder doesn't necessarily mean you won't get the game. It just means you are no longer pre-emotive lay sold on he game and now want to wait and actually see the final product.
It's not like there is no presedent for this kind of thing though these days. I think gamers have a right to be skeptical.

That's worrying.
Beta was already reusing areas like crazy.

This guy, always with the dramatics.
Most pre-released games threads are amazing.
I couldn't make it anymore obvious...
I guess you really need the "/s" here.

Just once id like a gameplay demo that isnt a bunch of BS and is representative of what im gonna play.
I don't think anybody thinks Destiny is a small game. People are upset that the scale is significantly shrinking according to what Bungie has said. That's a valid issue.

Borderlands was just a brown flat blob and people seemed to love that game.
My hype for Destiny just diminished a lot.
Even with only 4 planets I can see myself playing this for a long long time. The PvP is fantastic and that was only with 1 game mode and no factions to increase. PvE is great as well and I just love going to into explore and just messing around. It will be a fantastic multiplayer game and can't wait for it to come out.
Now as far as the season pass goes for more content, I'm definitely going to hold out on that cause I do not know what to expect from it at all.

Sorry man, it's hard to pick up sometimes and this thread is filled with serious people with posts just like yours.
lol, people being fed up by bullshit marketing and being angered about it are retards?
If you are that cautious with game purchases I don't get why you pre-order in the first place.

people arent getting what they were told or hoping for. why is that not valid?

No Mans Sky is procedurally generated, no doubt it's impressive but playable space aside it's not even close to destiny level of depth.
All that said, Destiny should be bigger than 9? locations. It's effectively borderlands with ship travel between locations.
Not very nice to say, especially because that actually disparages mentally challenged individuals.
Because companies throw $5-10 worth of preorder bonuses in. It is often better to preorder, not open it until some user reviews are out, and return it if the game turns out to be a dud.
LOL people expecting to play the first game our of three for 10 years.....oh god. No reason some of you are confused why the game is shaping to be the way it is. (IE: A normal sci-fi length RPG)
Agreed. There are plenty of things to do in Old Russia like I said. There are still plenty of locked areas, not to mention further side missions on those areas. Lets not forget all the loot you can find which means you have to grind. Lastly playing solo and with buddies changes things a bit, the pacing is different. Oh and the difficulties add another layer to the mix. Im sure they will add "Legendary" or something after the hard level for further challenge. Real talk, we spent more time yersterday beating two level 12 Knights in the Moon map and it was fun and challenging.

How many of those hours was repeating the same content over and over though? I don't want to have to grind and repeatedly play through the same encounters to artificially increase my play time.
No problem. As I said, should have indicated.
Seriously?
This thread...
Pre-orders are often cancelable and you get bonuses for preorder. I'm keeping my preorder, but I can understand why this news might make a person wary and cancel until they see what the scale of the game really is like after release.
because borderlands 2 was thrown in the bushes as well

Still a big game.
But I do agree the game is shrinking significantly. I have been under the impression the game would be 10x more massive considering how they talked about it in videos and in EDGE magazine last year.
It's a shame.
The mars map is even worse. 2/4 of the stuff we could play were not good.

It's actually a joke how it takes about 3 seconds to go from overlooking C to look into B's room.
Yet A -> B is about 10 seconds or more
Mars is probably one of the worst designed maps I've ever played.
And coming from Bungie that is just rich.
I really hope there are some more compelling PvP modes and maps in the final game.
It's absurd the kind of damage control some people are doing here and acting like anybody with an issue with need are crazy or retarded. Bungie said outer areas are exploitable on Old Russia. That was a lie. The game kills you for stepping out of very tight boundaries and the outer area's assets look worse so I doubt the full game will let you. Bungie talked about Old Chicago and Mumbai Push as one of the first things about revealing the game and now they aren't in the game? How is it crazy to be upset about these lies?

All the people defending and saying "well old Russia still has some places!" aren't actually addressing that we were sold a much larger vision than what we're getting in the final game.

2 hours on story missions
1 hour on PvP (4 maps, 2 modes, roughly an hour to experience 2 modes on all maps)
30 minutes at the Strike
30 minutes at the Tower
If I remove all repetition, all grinding and tryout of different classes, there's 4+ hours of content in the beta alone.
Let's quadruple that, and it's 20 hours of non-repetitive content, minimum.
Being sold on a 'vision' is the worst mistake possible.
Gameplay + confirmation of approximate content. Affirm those two things, then decide whether or not that sells you. Not a bunch of concept art and devs using bombastic language like 'explore da universe' , 'become legend!.'
The thing that's killing me about this is the core combat is really fun for PvE and the world design is gorgeous.
Yet there is so much that bothers me. There is too much restriction with invisible walls and drop off cliffs to simulate scope. Yes, you can see for miles, but you can't go there (contrary to what that bungie video suggested earlier in the thread). You look like you should be able to climb huge structures, but then you're suddenly limited by a invisible wall in one direction, and another when you try to jump onto something that's seems reachable. That's incredibly frustrating. The sparrows also make the world seem even smaller as you can get anywhere extremely fast.
And after a few days of fighting in the crucible, I really don't like it. The only thing I like about it is that the vehicles with guns in the larger maps are amazing to drive. I feel disconnected from my weapons and environment. I consider myself serviceable in FPS games, but I frequently just end up doing terrible, even in games with no skill boosts, I find myself getting schooled so bad I started to think people were using some sort of cheat/bug. Does anyone understand what I'm talking about?

I'll preface this by saying I've enjoyed the game so far.
Borderlands is the standard for console looters for me. The loot in that game was so damn fun when combined with the skill trees. Damage multipliers, crazy effects, odd glitches, and just plain strange. My concern is that there is might be little room for experimentation with the loot pool, and that it will all be superficial. There might not be a gazillion guns in BL2, but there is quite the broad range. Throw in class mods, shields, relics and combinations of characters and you had a ton of possibilities.
With Destiny I am seeing everyone at level 20 within a day or two, playing through repetitive waves of enemies to grind for enough space bucks for a loading screen starship, cape or banner for your gamer tag? The smaller than expected world size is just another thing that makes me scratch my head.
What I find myself thinking is that I can't wait for next gen Borderlands. Hopefully there is something to this game that I am not seeing.

Yep people who don't share your thoughts are "retards".
Are you serious?
Edit: also yeah even if there are more story missions on earth, they better not be only in old Russia...
They also kept pitching the game's world as being so unpredictable, even Bungie doesn't know what's going to happen in it. Instead, we got the most repetitive "open world" I've ever seen. A game that makes Dragon's Dogma appear dynamic and alive.
And it took them close to a year to vaguely clarify that our customizable spaceships will only be used during loading screens.
It's quite amazing that after spending a full year with only the promise of "Older Russia" and some unused concept art keeping a small part of the forum interested in the game people still manage to claim that we have ourselves to blame for expecting more from Destiny.
Screw our guardians, it's the way they handled PR that might "become legend".

So, only praise a game/company, until the game is released, is what you're advocating?
They said each planet has a campaign the size and length of Halo Reach. Can you see yourself doing story campaigns 5x-7x as long as the beta on just Old Russia?
All under the assumption that the Beta was cut directly from the full game.

I have a feeling the game will be out September 9th and we will immediately find out that the first expansion comes out October 9th.
