Any ebay disc guy people, update this thread when your order goes from pre-shipment to shipped and on the way. Keeping an eye on it...one of the guys who ordered yesterday said it updated around 5/6 PM EST.

Hyperbole in the spoiler thread is classic GAF. Dunno if you guys heard, but we're looking at a 60ish meta. Game looks PS2, just utter trash. Everything sucks.

Oh GAF. <3 After over a decade, it's nice to know I can always rely on GAF to be GAF.

Good idea. I'll be sure to post an update when my status changes.

Why are you bringing up spoiler thread stuff in this thread specifically not about spoilers?

What people think about the game in the spoiler thread should not be mentioned here

Tbh. when was GAF ever wrong, even with the hyperbole? Or you might read selective.

Hahahaha

Of course GAF is never wrong. When the game comes out and it's really good it'll be because of paid reviews obviously. And anyone who claims to like it in a message board is an astroturfer or something.

I only trust GAF when GAF actually played the game. If you trust GAF pre-release you'd think NMS is the best game ever.

I dunno. The GAF hate on Destiny reached near legendary levels, yet it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Isn't this the de facto non spoiler impressions thread though. I want to know what the general opinions on this game is and I don't want to enter that thread.

who cares about what people on a forum think about a game that they probably haven't even played yet. wait until monday when official reviews are posted. some people just have this mentality where they want to see a game fail no matter how good it is bc it didn't meet their nostalgia factor from 10-15 years ago.
 
yo I don't have the Birdman rubbing his hands gif, but let me know how it goes.

I just hope for the sake of others that Gaf doesn't get to you and ruin/affect your experience with the game..

Don't let some of those pessimistic assholes take away from your excitement.

I understand the negativity being something that can get to you, but you should try not to see people being critical as enemies. The game will speak for itself very soon and they're just people on a forum expressing opinions like you or I. A game changing the formula this much is bound to be examined under a microscope.

Either the ship is going to arrive safely at shore or I'm going down with it. That's how I am loyal to the end.

An opinion is an opinion, mate, whether you agree with it or not. 'Pessimistic asshole' would be against the TOS if you were directing it at someone, and this is pretty close.

that by definition is spoilers for people who are experiencing the game.

Unless you want a generic "it looks good" or "it looks bad"

I'm always in the spoiler thread for the direct impressions of people playing it, and my view is that the game will be a fun game with a lot of flaws too. A lot of people won't like the game and a lot of people will. Is that enough?

Can I PM someone about a potential spoiler? I saw something in the Youtube chat, and I just need to know if it's true or not.

I care. If I didn't I wouldn't bother with a gaming forum, would I? This kind of major release and the vastly different opinions it inspires are why I'm here.

And yet if you had no clue about Destiny in 2016 and read about it on GAF you'd think it was trash and had completely and utterly failed sales wise.

at this point I think people are hating on the game just on principle.

here an analogy:

it's like you wait in a restaurant for a steak but it takes 90 minutes (or more) til the waiter brings the food, at that point it's doesn't matter how good or bad the steak is, you just want to rip them apart and tell them to go fuck themselves.

My post sounded pretty harsh and im not against people being critical, im against people hearing vague criticisms from someone who hasn't even played the game and taking it as gospel that the rest of the game is terrible.

It's aggravating because everybody is so down on something they know nothing about and haven't played, after being excited for a decade. It's really a shame and kind of pathetic.

Like people genuinely are thinking now they would be happy if the meta score was in the 60s. That is absolutely insane.

I guess if you like basing your opinion on a game that isn't even out yet especially from a majority of people who haven't played it :D :D
