I know some CPM members have been playing Destiny sooo sooo much more than Dust and that is just sad. I don't mean to be a gaming **** about it but come on... What happened to the commitment...? They could at least login to the forums once a week... You guys could say you are doing behind the scenes work but I don't care about what you do in your little secret society rituals... CPM should represent the community, not just themselves and their own singular opinion. All of you guys were 100x more active when you were actually campaigning...
I also think that you two should just agree to disagree. @ IWS no matter what your intentions may be.. you always get told crap and trolled lol. Although, in this particular thread, there are valid points being made on both sides.
1. Destiny is not the second coming of Jesus. Neither was GTA4, Neither was Super Mario bros... Maybe for legend of Zelda. :p
2. Destiny is going to continue making money for a long time. They will no doubt profit. Day one sales won't come close to the real number.. at least not for destiny. Destiny will have dlc. dlc does not need a cd to be made, it doesn't need to be shipped. Cost of production is cheaper and profit margins will be wider. With cloud services becoming more and more popular, I would hope that prices would go down a bit one day in the future but I won't get my hopes up. Greed is not an easy thing for these business types to overcome... However the destiny player base will probably be cut in half in the near future. The loyals will stay... the sheep will leave to the next hyped up game. It is just the cycle of gaming we see every time a big game title is released.
3. Every game gets bad reviews and every game gets good reviews. People need to learn to judge things for themselves. A review is not fact, a review is an opinion. The fact that you brought it up in the first place makes you a little sheepish. Lead by example and maybe some sheep on these forums will realize what I say is true. People may like a certain magazine or website but what they are really liking is a certain writers point of view. Just take a look at these forums. I see one half of people fanboying Destiny and the other half Fanboying Dust. Same thing with Cod. A ton of people love cod but you still always hear cod players being made fun of. IMO reviews are pointless as I think most people should think for themselves. I know IWS can think for himself as I seen you critically analyze a game before. IGN ? GameInformer? all nonfactor opinions... Besides it is partially reviewers faults for hyping up games and many times they are in league with the game companies so they could both turn a bigger profit.
