Ok, Im going to try this one more time.
All the people making this into an outrage; stop. Just fucking stop. This is not an outrage. Its not even close to one. You let your expectations go wild based on nothing; Bungie is not to blame. All we have ever seen in any trailer for Destiny was Reef ( Social ), Tower ( Social ), Mars, Venus, Earth ( Old Russia ), Moon and a single small snippet of Mercury ( Crucible ). Thats all. The Alpha reinforced that those were the only areas wed see ( one area per planet ) due to how the navigation was set up. If you expected anything more than that, Im sorry, but you yourself are the one to blame, not Bungie. All of these other areas were only present in the concept art from the initial reveal in which they talked about their ambitions for the Destiny franchise. Concept art. Nothing of that was confirmed for the full game ever.
Bungie didnt take stuff away from you, neither did Activision.
People in here claiming that they know what the final game will play like based on the beta also need to step back.
But the guns are so boring!;
Yes, of course, because we were limited to Common and Uncommon gear in the Beta.
But Old Russia is so boring!;
Yes, of course Old Russia gets boring when its the only thing you do for 20 hours straight. Everything is boring when you do it for 20 hours straight. You wont be stuck on Earth in the final game, youre free to constantly go somewhere else to make it feel fresh.
But theres nothing to do! The endgame sucks!;
Based off of what? The Beta? We were capped at 8 in the Beta, of course theres not much to do. Youre supposed to play through the whole story and reach level 20 to reach the endgame, not stop at level 8 and go to Old Russia all the time and playing only Control in the Crucible on just two maps.
But Ive already seen everything on old Russia and thats 25% of the game!;
No it fucking isnt. First of all, you havent seen all of Old Russia; There were three areas still blocked off ( Jovian Complex, Kings Watch, Seraphim Vault / Bunker RAS-3 ) and some guarded by lv. ?? enemies ( Grottoes, Steppes basement ). You dont know how old Russia will change when all of that properly opens up. Second of all, Venus seems to have much more content and a bigger map, and presumably Mars has a larger map too. Id say that with what weve played, current Old Russia is maybe 10% tops.
But it needs as much content as [ insert MMO here ]!
No it doesnt. This isnt an MMO. This is a FPSRPG with some MO ( notice the missing M? ) elements and should be treated as such. Expect Borderlands-level amounts of content for the initial release ( which they seem to already be passing ), not MMO-levels.
the beta was a small slice from the beginning of the game, not the entire game shrunk down into a smaller package. Destiny has some stuff that needs looking at, some elements that might not work out and I completely understand if this isnt your kind of game. Thats fine. But from what I can see, the amount of content isnt going to be a problem. So can we just stop this stupid unreasonable outrage over nothing please? You guys are overreacting in a big way.
