Honestly, with a name as uninspired as "Destiny" how could you expect anything above mediocrity?

>Blunder of the year

There are way too many blunders this year.

>Lawsuits for getting banned in a game

How would that even work? I bet Bungie would just say that the players agreed to an agreement that waived their rights.

You're talking about Mrbtongue. He asked the question for Fallout 3 in comparison to New Vegas, which did have an answer to the "what do they eat?" question. He's also a hardcore SJW who's talked about how videogames have to end as a white mans hobby and make more black characters.

It's because of Nvidias shitty bloatware that is installed by default with their drivers I forget what it's called because I ALWAYS make sure to check it off when installing the latest GPU drivers, something a lot of retards don't know how to do for some reason. It's because Bungie bans all overlays for some weird fucking reason. You literally cannot even use a third party FPS counter for it. I'm sure using Windows 10s Xbox overaly to record gameplay would get you banned too. Someone got paid to make these retarded decisions

Some of the bans have actually been revoked.

DO NOT SUPPORT/BLACKLIST/BOYCOTT LIST

>Implying anyone here buys games anymore.

That goes to marvel vs. capcom infinite

>>13682413

the gamergate video really soured my opinion of him. He seriously said more bullshit?!

>>13682413

Even normalfags ripped his video apart.

>>13682523

>To make it even more hilarious, bans for Destiny 2 are non-disputable.

Bungo apparently reversed a whole bunch of them and didn't explain why those bans happened in the first place or how many people were impacted. This after claiming that all the bans were manually reviewed before going through. They fucked up bad and are trying to pretend nothing happened now.

That's a retarded rumor started by a bunch of tweens banned for attempting to hack

>>13682523

>>13682542

>reversed a whole bunch of them

<Article says a total of 4 bans were overturned

>>13682586

Read the update.

>Update: As part of our ban review process, we have identified a group of players who were banned in error. Those players have been unbanned. The bans were not related to the third-party applications listed above. We will continue to review the process we use to ensure a fun and fair game.

The 4 bans overturned from the beta were unrelated to the group referenced in the update.

>I bet Bungie would just say that the players agreed to an agreement that waived their rights.

If you can argue that the agreement is against the consumer protection law and made it stick somehow, then their collective asses is blown wide open for you to shove a shotgun up there and pull the trigger. Otherwise, if an agreement can break the law and the law says it is fine; then companies can put shit like they own your firstborn sneakily in the EULA and court cannot do anything about it and shit like humancentipad in South Park can happen.

Unjustified ban without evidence is actually against the consumer protection law, they just do shit and knows that most people will not sue them because time and money wasted. There was one case of a guy getting banned in GTAO and threatens to sue cockstar and has a solid case against it and got his stuffs back.

If we are in a really vengeful mood, I bet /v/ can do a guideline on how to sue those kikes and build a solid case against them without spending money and too much time and spread that shit like wildfire.

>don't worry, goy! These bans were because they deserved it!

>it's not automated, we manually make the final decision to ban!

>oh but we're reversing these ones who were banned without deserving it and apparently had no review

>>13682413

>obsidiancuck is a hardcore SJW

No surprise there.

Sounds like my consolefag brother, I told this tale many times but there's a new development.

He already bought a xbawks wone and sold it in the past.

I thought he learned his lesson but when fifa 2017 came out he started spewing the game engine buzzword with "But it uses the frostbite engine! You told me they purposefully make bad games but here we have them innovating!".

He bought another xbox and the game while I kept telling him fifa went to shit when we were still kids. He played it for some 5 minutes before he said his controller was broken and readily spent 30 bucks on another which was "broken" too.

I kept trying to make him let me play because I wanted to see what was wrong and eventually he let me, it turns out on fifa 2017 and other recent fifa games the soccer players have an autistic mind of their own and will disobey your analog stick and run slightly to the wrong direction and wiggle up and down if their skill isn't completely maxed out because muh realism. For the first few seconds it did feel as though the controller was miscalibrated but his conclusion was still dumb. This one he played for some 5 hours and then resold his second xbox and the 2 controllers.

I think he played this "game" more because I played with him out of pity, by the end of the thing we were competing to see who points out more reasons why it's shit and I genuinely thought he would stop making dumb decisions with video games.

He definitely didn't learn his lesson yet because he keeps trying to get into the latest trash, he doesn't listen to me because he convinced himself I don't like video games, his argument is "well if everything is bad maybe you don't like video games".

He'll get a switch soon I think, he told me "It's a wii, a wii U and a DS. It'll get non-kiddy games later so I'll secure one for me as soon as stores have it in stock". I'll go to japan soon because of a good translator gig, I'll tell him I'll buy one there but come back with nothing to stall his stupid purchase.

Everyone knows the story of Destiny's development, right? We're always going to wonder about the game that could've been, where the main focus was actually the story and lore, and both were something worth focusing.

Let's face it, Destiny at the start promised to be the Citizen Kane of gaming, and we're left with a game that isn't technically bad… but is absolutely Shit when you consider the potential it had.

>>13685738

Nice blog

Destiny sounds like a midget's stripper name.

>>13685919

Nah it's more of a stripper who's somewhere between a Milf and a Gilf and could be a passable Dolly Parton impersonator.

>>13682697

Don't be a faggot newfag, he used single and double spacing. Reddit spacing is if they only use single spacing on all the post.

>I bet Bungie would just say that the players agreed to an agreement that waived their rights.

Dunno about the rest of the world but in my country you cant agree to lose a legal right.

If you sign a contract stipulating you are willing to become a chattel slave its automatically void, thats why Valve had to put a refund policy in Steam.

>>13681774

>For seemingly no reason.

We know the reason, they're banning people who use any kind of software at the same time as running the game, Bungie used to make PC games before going to consoles so this isn't some rookie mistake they did it on purpose as for why is anyone guess.

>>13686080

>any kind of software

It's anything with an overlay like Discord, OBS, Steam, Uplay, Origin and NVIDIA Shadowplay I believe.

>>13686120

Officially these aren't supposed to result in a ban. They haven't said what caused the wave of erroneous bans that got overturned, though, so one of these programs might have been causing false positives.

>>13686142

>>13686131

>>13686120

The retards are rescinding some of the bans they did, which I assume is all of them while still doubling down on saying that some of the bans are staying because reasons.

This but unironically, I enjoyed that post.
