Using examples to support numbers isn't throwing games under the bus bruh....

A lot of complaints about Destiny not being worth the money. Just using logic to support otherwise.

Okay, I put 2400 hours into COD4. Destiny isn't worth the money.

Lets say I drive a Maserati in the summer, only about 1000km year, but a beat up Ford Taurus for 30,000km a year the rest of the time. By that logic, the Taurus is better because I use it more? 

Im not coming at you personally, I just dont understand the arguement and why people feel they need to defend anything. The game is obviously worth whatever was paidto the people in this thread. 

Feels like you are reaching to be honest.

we are on a discussion board. It's ok for people to complain about the game but not ok for us to give a counter argument?

Some of the complaints definitely die down when things are put into perspective. Dudes are like "wow, I really did put 600 hrs into this game. Didn't think of it like that."

Just found out on the Xbox thread. No Raid? That's horrible man. Thank god so many other games is out and cats not stuck playing Destiny.

 

[Bad Religion]

Not that they shouldn't argue, but that what is the point when everyone in this thread knows the "value" complaint is an empty one to those of us that play it daily/weekly?

Maybe I am looking at it too critically. 

 

[wrightone86]

You can't use the car logic for this comparison though. One you are using for a summer car and/or to keep the mileage low on your "more prized" vehicle.

To that relationship, you would only play Destiny in the summer because it is the "better" game and you use the rest of the year to play those "other" games.

But in this case, not playing the game until then would hurt you because you would be further behind everyone else who actually uses their game year round.

I wasn't bashing other games and I don't think anyone else is either, but it is when someone says "this game was worth x amount of money."

We are saying how can you play a game as much as most of us do here and say it isn't worth the money, but then you can go buy a single player game for $60 and then play it one time and toss it to the side. There is no other game out right now that you can put this amount of hours in (unless you including previous gen games and then people will say Borderlands/Diablo 3).

To be fair, I see your point. Your point is pretty simple, opinion and preference. With that being said, despite your opinion/preference.. I still don't think its fair to downplay or discredit a game when you and countless others put a lot of hours into it. As compared to the other games mentioned that cost $60, and you run through the story once and you put it down. Hey, you may prefer these type of games? But for anyone to put in 500+ hours, and to stay it wasn't worth the $60 + DLC, just doesn't make sense to me.


wrightone86 About last night, I was completely wrong I'm currently watching this solo WR speed run, and didn't realize the bridge enemies were level 31, so you could of definitely did it as a 31. You would think I would of known since I run Crota so much

 

[thepromisedland]

Agree with all this

nah **** that im not satisfied.

I put in 416 hours and I still cant wear red.

My boy got the game 3 weeks ago and that **** drops at level 7 cyptarch.

**** this game


NT, We raiding tonight though?

Damn still no GoW lol everybody on the nt thread is bloody but you LMAO View media item 1491306

 

[shottadru]

Any details of what is included then? Cuz it needed more than just Strike and a couple missions if there isn't a Raid at least.

 

[memphissfinest]

600 HOURS IN DESTINY.

PRICE OF ADMISSION = $90

$90/600HRS = $0.15/HR

YEP. I'M GOOD WITH MY INVESTMENT.

Starting next Wednesday, we'll get more info weekly until release.

I'm optimistic because it seems that Bungie is focused on 2 things. "Replayability" and Variety.

TRAILS OF OSIRIS PLUS A NEW CO-OP MODE CALLED PRISON OF ELDERS.

FROM NEW INFO LEAKING. IT SEEMS THAT PRISON OF ELDERS IS A "HORDE" TYPE OF GAME THAT POSSIBLY WILL ALLOW UP TO 6 PLAYERS.

HONESTLY, I BELIEVE A HORDE "ZOMBIES" TYPE GAMEMODE SHOULD OF BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE DAY ONE. I LOVE ZOMBIES FROM COD AND FIREFIGHT FROM ODST.

I was wondering. I figured that you would be the guy to ask about since I knew you run it so much

I thought I remembered you used to solo those first 2 parts when you were leveling your Hunter, that is why I asked you, lol

^This. This is all we been trying to say in regards to getting your $ worth.

 

[wrightone86]

I finally got the unbroken award for finishing a game without dying. That last 30 seconds had me running around looking crazy. You can even hear me breathe a sigh of relief afterwards

Spoiler: If you wanted to watch the full gameplay:

Cool thanks.

 

[shottadru]

I don't think your monies worth should be argued, if you are on this thread more than likely you played the game A LOT so you def got your monies worth. It may not have been perfect but the game was def fun.
