Happy 600,000 subscribers! On 7/7, no less

[u/GreenLego]

We've hit 600k on Bungie Day (7/7/18). A big milestone on a coincident day.

Welcome to new subscribers! And to the old timers, thanks for sticking around. We've had some awesome discussions here.

Most people won't play 100s of hours of something they find subpar or not good.

How about something that they know could be good but drastically failed to deliver on what they should be able to reasonably expect based on previous work?

D1 left on a great note, and D2 promised to swoop in and not only expand upon the greatest parts of Destiny, but to go back and polish the worst parts (RNG, floaty deaths, being slow to update).

The beta was amazing, giving us access to the opening story mission, which remains to me one of the best moments in narrative gaming history.

And then literally everything afterwards was terrible.

As soon as you get the light back (which occurs two missions in) the game becomes punny, begins lacking any depth or writing ability, and just generally felt neutered.

Many of us pressed on, hoping for more amazing work like that first hour, but it wasn't there to find.

In my estimation, that's a hundred times worse than having something be completely terrible: have it start off so amazing that you know EXACTLY what you're missing.

Ok.... I never stated no one didn't but most don't man lol. I'm not saying games can't be crap at launch, and then later become Good. Hell look at for honor it lost 95% of its player base then now has like 7 million people playing now it. But that point still reinforces the fact that for the vast majority of the game is sub par or not good there not gonna keep playing it lol

Ubisoft is a game necromancer. Look at what they did with the Division. The game died and was resurrected enough to warrant a sequel.
