Spiffy

Crime crew was a fun Trainwreck but Vinny being trapped in a physics hellworld had me howling like nothing else, it could only happen to him.

7:00 mark is where it gets wild.

I believe this goes down in the "Jeff hates Red Dead Redemption" level of how poorly an argument was made for a game.

Some caveats up front:

• I never do this, ever. The arguments were so infuriating that I had to say something.
• Picking apart an argument made in person is not fair when I have had some time to digest the arguments.
• I enjoyed Destiny for what it was, a very flawed game.

Now in no particular order:

• Diablo 3 absolutely has hand crafted items with flavour text; and they have more impact on how a class plays. They can modify abilities, proc effects and can be items which people make builds around.
• Diablo 3 again, the maps are randomly generated including random Elite and Champion encounters with their own resistances. Like the elites in Destiny but with more unique abilities and more resistances.

I only mention Diablo 3 because he made an equivocation himself, which rings so false having played a stupid amount of both games they are barely similar outside having loot.

• Nightfall and Raids cannot be match made. This is inconceivable. The argument that its too hardcore for a pickup group is ridiculous and fundamentally proven wrong by the DestinyLFG third party site.
  I cannot access the "best content in the game", the game WILL NOT LET ME.
  I could randomly friend people in game and try to group with them, but what the fuck difference is that than just hitting a matchmaking button?
  I can do it with everything else, including PVP. It is the absolute worst aspect of destiny.
• Grinding and attunement was weeded out of MMOs 5 years ago for a reason. It isn't fun, its a meaningless timesink and 100% of the time is looked back on as a mistake.
• The whole engram system is idiotic. Its like having an identify scroll but with a decent chance of getting something worse than you anticipated.
• Going back to the tower is dumb. Every godamn time you have to load in and talk to some faceless NPC. The tower is a meaningless hub, there are no social features whatsoever, its the mass effect elevators all over again.
• The mission design is pathetic. You defend that boring ass robot so many times I felt sad by the end of it.

This thread will probably be a horrible mess of people hating on Brad, which I am sorry for because I don't want it to be that at all.

Opinions are subjective and all are valid, but some of the facts glossed over or misrepresented were terrible.

I also wondered this, I see no ads on any whiskey site so if its some venture capitalists project the time to sell is probably coming to head.
