I just could not stand this game anymore and traded in. This is one of the worst game I have played this year.

What incredibly sad is how any time you hear Destiny, the word "fix" inevitably follows...

I didn't upgrade suros because of its high shooting speed,if you upgrade it,gun will shoot slower...I hope you know that.The point is I used two different guns with different stats,and still the damage rate is the same,that's why iron banner is a joke.

@pgl163 Yes I know that. You lose rate of fire when ADS but gain a ton of stability or range with the upgrades above as well as the bottom half of the clip doing more damage. It's all about trade off. Guns with high RPMs shoot much faster and have a higher mag count at the expense of impact. It's all about trade off and balance. If the Grim Citizen has the same amount of impact the Suros did it would be the best AR in the game. Same with the Suros. If it kept the same RPM when ADS it would be completely OP.

At least try and understand why these decisions are made because if you don't then you're just complaining for no reason.

@pgl163 That's bs. I have both the Suros and Vanquisher and the Suros does 37 for headshots while the Vanquisher only does 25 per headshot. I don't even have them maxxed out. The Suros is at 260 while the Vanq is at 257.

i respect the time and effort from the devs on new stuff released for destiny. Yes it could have been better in areas on release (in some peoples eyes) but i love it. It could be worse, look at drive club !!! which i also bought.

Is there any hope for gaming when the except'able quality and quantity of the game continues to drop?. I hope 2015 brings some games worth the asking price, its terrible when the best you can hope for is a game you can be content with.

Ugh. I just wish this game had all these changes early on. I knew that this fall would have me inundated with so many games to play and Destiny got kind of left in the dust. I enjoyed it though. Made it to level 29. I might check out the DLC when it drops next month but otherwise I still have all 4 halos to beat, farcry, AC:u, and some CoD:AW mp.

Sweet. Let's hear yours. Unless you haven't bought all those games yet. You can borrow some if you're too broke.

I play Iron Banner for one reason only...the gear. The Legendary gear in Iron Banner goes to a light level of 30, same as the Exotic stuff does.

Every time I consider Destiny as a game to play I look a little deeper into it and I see a bunch of grinding. A LOT of grinding. Is it worth it, or do I just get fooled over and over again?

@GreySeven A very unfulfilling game when you consider the poor rewards for all your efforts. I wish they'd improve the patrols and public events, focusing on more exploration and combat in the open areas.

@XNEXUS666X @GreySeven It's all on purpose. they've purposely made the rewards few and far between in order to keep people playing lounger. they clearly don't intend on allowing people to max out right away and stop playing the game.

I absolutely loved the PVP of Destiny, but I don't have the interested to go back and play it again. Maybe when Destiny comes out on PC with some DLC maps I will re-try the game.

Yet this is what Iron Banner should have been like in the first place.

Bungie could have beta-tested it before releasing it.

people still play this game? fu**, i aint going back til they add matchmaking to the raid system. This whole "get some friends" party system is prehistoric, like almost westwood online ish. Real gamers from generation X will know what I'm talking about. I don't have time and lots of friends who game. I have a social life, and a busy real life. Great game, great concept, but when your stuck at light 26 n can't move forward. all expansions to come are useless to me. Thanks, read this "Bungee"

@rocca_fella911 I got to 29 and I've only completed the raid once. Seems like you don't know what you're doing.

@akassassin11 @Whiskey3romeo @khelandros What's really stupefying is that the rest of the game is just as half assed as the story.

It's crazy watching the game in 1080p.. and forgetting that's why it looks better here than in the actual game.

So they didn't really "fix" anything, they just made iron banner more like what they said it would be in the first place?

Also, doesn't matter, my copy of destiny continues collecting dust while I play the hell out of Farcry 4 and DAI

I'd love to get into Iron Banner, but a week just isn't long enough for me with my limited gaming time to get my reputation high enough to actually buy anything. *sigh*

@tom_cat_01 If you are level 28 or higher and you do the weekly nightfall strike, you get bonus XP all week. Also if you use the shader, emblem, and class item then you get even more of a boost. On top of that, you can buy the buff towards the end of the week which gives even more XP. It grows more powerful every day the iron banner has been available. Plus, doing the bounties everyday levels you up super fast. Its definitely doable. It just depends on how much time you actually have

Prob will get the PSN plus for black friday, so I can try out the Crucibles, and other content I didn't have the requirements to play, but without that stuff this game is a bust. No point in playing with out the PSN, its pretty boring after you beat the game.
