It didn't affect me at all, as I picked up the game in the Xmas sale after all the cufuffle had disappeared, but yeah, if I was a launch customer I'd have been devastated. Hasn't it gone on to sell a million copies now, or something around there?

@Sanquine yeah, finished it yesterday and I thought the story was superb. I really hope a sequel gets made. I'm going to start a second playtthrough shortly to get all the collectables I missed. I thought I was pretty thorough but I clearly missed loads considering I didn't get a single collection related trophy.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi lulz, that's become my go to line when the wife starts faffing about now, the delivery was perfect.

@jmbenetti I agree, I'm on chapter 11 and yeah, it's not perfect, but nowhere near the complete travesty some reviewers are making it out to be. I'd go for at least a 7 or 8.

Started playing this morning. I'm enjoying it thus far, looking forward to the rest of it.

@arnoldlayne83 I completely agree. I made the mistake about halfway in of thinking I was partially safe as I got my hands on a flamethrower. Suffice to say I was punished for my hubris. Severely.

@arnoldlayne83 I'm about two thirds in, and its been that way for a while now! It must be my age, I lapped up scary games in my youth, but now I find it hard to stomach all the constant tension!

@Sir_JBizzle the single player is touch and go, largely it functions but when it does screw up, like with saving progress or forcing you to repeat lengthy sections in order to snag a completion achievement, it can be quite deflating.

@arnoldlayne83 I know right? The reason why I haven't replayed it is because of how scary the whole experience is.

_{Please watch the language -Tasuki-}

@arnoldlayne83 that's a fair comment. The last time I was in this position was with ZombiU. And in that instance I still bit the bullet, bought the game and had a blast. I'll give it a go, at least then I'll be in a position to give a valid criticism

Combined between mixed and negative there 26 reviews that fall into that category, and 18 that fall into the positive. I still feel that that warrants mentioning at least some of the reviews that fall into the positive percentage, considering that is still a good chunk of positive attention.

Yeah, what the above guy said, there's eleven reviews in metacritic that have given it 8+. What gives?!

@BoobooMama haha, I literally was about to post this same message. Great minds, and all that!

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi same here. And was all that marketing money really worth that one percent? I'm not so sure.

As long as Q*Bert-ese is included, I'll be happy.

Doesn't that block the front vent?

Yep, this got me on a number of occasions, as a dad of daughters it's your worst nightmare. Powerful stuff.

I got about twenty mins in and gave up. The dialogue was terrible, and it just made me feel like this was 90210 but with douchey, hipster art school kids. Who irritate me.

@Munkyknuts N000000B!

I jest of course, I think I've only got one myself.

This game is TOUGH. I've raged quite it more times than I'd care to admit.

I bloody like Jak 2, far more that the first one.

@metalman5150 spoken like a true prodigy.

I play every day. I've got a good group that I met through destinylfg.com, and its good solid fun.

@get2sammyb I win!

Is that headline blurb a nod to the Goldfinger track of the same name?

Much more appealing, but as Kell says you'd need to play a fair bit to get your monies worth... Now, can we have it in the UK please?

UK user, i can connect to psn on my vita, but still a no go on my ps4.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I don't think anyone really needed this game. I was a huge (HUGE) Oddworld fan, and when picking up my Knights of the Old Republic Xbox bundle, I bought Munch's Oddysee with a grin on my face thinking that I was in good hands. And even then, through the glaze of a fanboys goggles, I was bloody disappointed, so I can only presume that its not aged well at all.

I quite liked it, in a stupid tongue in cheek kind of way. It's better than the weird bass/epilepsy inducing flash cuts that dominate movie and games trailers these days.

America doesn't negotiate with terrorists? Admittedly its difficult to negotiate when you've just rolled over and given in. Unbelievable.

@redjace its out in the store. Can anyone vouch for Switch Galaxy Ultra? Considering F-Zero is never gonna get a sequel I need to get my fix somewhere.

Yeah, out for all the play now in rainy Europe. Looks like it could be fun, I'll have a gander at least.

@ShogunRok you raise some valid points Rob but I'm not sure if I agree with all of them. As a full time worker, and a dad of four no less, my play time is pretty limited. Saying that, just dipping into the title periodically has enabled me to reach level 31 with minimal ease and effort.

I totally agree that the game needs more variety, and some of it's design choices are a bit bizarre, but I have hope (possibly blind hope) that ultimately the game will one day be good if not great. If not, we can always come back in ten years and you can say I told you so

I was fairly indifferent towards VR until I played Elite Dangerous on my mates Rift last week. It is definitely the future, and it will forever be one of those few moments where I was totally blown away.

I logged in about an hour ago to play Destiny, haven't had any issues at my end.

I really like titanfall. I recently picked it up with a sunset overdrive bundle and its the game I've defintely played the most. I for one would welcome a ps4 release.

I just hope it isn't something that gets preferential treatment on the Xbox...

Is that headline a Pearl Jam quote?

I'm not a huge batman fan, but that actually gave me chills. The part where he 180's and drops the scientist off before blazing back in? The batmobile sound effects through that whole sequence are SPOT on. Now that Rocksteady are back in charge I literally can't wait to get my grubby paws on it.

@viciousarcanum dear gods I hope you're right, I was a big 360 fan before, but it was right about THEN (Cirque nonsense), and I think there was another incident that involved Usher, where I decided... Yeah maybe I should give my ps3 a shot.

I ahvent tried it it since the patch auto installed... I might just copy me save to a usb stick and have a go. If it screws up I'll reinstall then.

@AyeHaley commiserations dude. Being holed up with back problems myself (7 weeks and counting), I know how reliant I've become on these boxes for stimulus and distraction.

If it's any consolation, as a euro citizen I recently had to send my vita back for repairs, and it was done returned within 7 days.

@hi_drnick did you being treats? You can't post unless you bring treats!

I've still got my copy upstairs Sammy, if you ever want it you can snag it on Amazon for chump change!

I'm mad for it, I still enjoy Destiny and I'm really looking forward to more content.

@Munkyknuts I'm not arguing that the game has shortcomings, it's frustrating to see what are effectively great foundations that are begging to be built upon. I'm hoping that through updates and future content the game will become more fleshed out. And again, I understand why it wouldnt appeal to people given its repetition at the moment, so I dont begrudge you for not wanting to play further. In my experience however there are still a very vocal minority who will happily attempt to verbally eviscerate you for still currently enjoying what it is. If they don't like it, move on, there's no reason to continue hating, and giving the people who don't like it a hard time.

Like everyone above, I hate the expectations and bashing that's currently occurring. It's getting to the point where you're being ostracized by the gaming community for actually liking games like Destiny, as if you should hate it by default.

@Midzark go into settings, psn, and restore you licences. I had that problem but this sorted it.

@ShogunRok yesterday, Destiny for me was an absolute nightmare. Since launch I've had zero problems, but yesterday I had coconut errors, badgers, zebras, berries, every bloody animal connection error under the sun.

The other issue for atm is receiving a message from a friend, but my message menu is taking ages to actually display the content of the message itself... Is anyone else having this problem?

I still desperately want media support and streaming. As soon as that deploys I can ditch my archaic 360.
