Yip, and Destiny is the pinnacle of gaming, right?

At least Destiny's gameplay is great. The same cannot be said for No Man's Lie.

I don't understand the hate for this game. It was never overhyped, the developers explained exactly what this game was and was not going to be. Most players bought it up cause they heard of it, didn't do their homework, thought it was something else, and was left disappointed. This is a great game and I'm afraid if this whining and complaining doesn't stop, it's going to set a terrible precedent for future game developers like them. We have to support these guys otherwise it will be a sad future where all we have to play are call of duty and battlefield, and I assure you, we don't need anymore of those. All my friends are enjoying this game, amd so am I. There is no reason anyone should be returning this title when we like bungie and Activision get away with destiny.

Bloody hell, does bungie suffer from short memory loss? Saying they feel it is better to create and design worlds rather than an algorithm do it. Maybe next time they can use an algorithm to written them a complete story rather than sell us pieces of it.

Hey guys we fixed the game and listening to all your feedback, oh that'll be $30 please.

There wasn't much to do and the handcrafted destiny universe either. Not exactly the devs that should be talking about this stuff.

I payed for the deluxe or whatever edition thinking that it would contain all of destiny only to find out that after paying close to 100$ I was gonna have to keep paying in order to play the full game. And that the whole game was relatively small with not much to do. And that bungie decided to favor certain players with exclusivity. So yea. Not one to talk.

Bungee "it's very important to fill the world with interesting things to do otherwise the players would get bored"

LOL Wow Bungie then why is Destiny boring and repetitive. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Haha damn that's funny

Jokes on you Bungie, I bought No Man's Sky but haven't spent a dime on Destiny

Bungie, lol, that is all.

He's not wrong. Hand crafted worlds are more unique. I wouldn't use destiny as an example though LOL!

Ha! NMS has more story than Destiny had at launch!

Tho I kinda love both :)

I didn't even see a single quote in the article of anyone taking any shots. Just a mention of someone joking that the menus are similar. Dumb

Bungie still needs to deliver. They just started after these years since release to do things right. I don't know how NMS will go to in the future but I hope it will turn out great for those who still believe in the game and enjoy it.

Sweet Niblets... Bungie, are we forgetting the "BIG" letdown that was your game, Destiny?

No hate intended, but lets be honest & real. The world & overall game you created wasn't anything special either "in my opinion"

Ubisoft, please don't take a Jab at NMS either. We all know how dirty & sneaky you've been this console generation.

You know, to take jabs at other peoples work you first need to be in a good place yourself. And even if you're the very best at what you do, being humble goes a very long way, you dont hear the naughty dog or rockstar devs taking jabs at devs that are less capable.

Besides, if another team copies your ideas (NMS UI design very similar to Destiny) it just means you did something right and perhaps you're started a trend, take this as a huge compliment, just my opinion tho.

I spent a hell of a lot more hours in Destiny than No Man's Sky. No Man's Sky was the first game I bought digitally that I was immediately infuriated I had no recourse to get my money back or some % of my money.

I don't think this means either is better or worse than the other, both were successful sales-wise. Most of the people who "hated" on Destiny weren't even playing it. It's the new "COD", the new punching bag for gamers. I do find it funny to come online and hear the flak thrown at Destiny, then (when I would play last year) go online and meet some of the best "gamers" or "game community" I had been a part of (Destiny).

Gamers, get out of your bubble, millions of people play Destiny and No Man's Sky and don't come here to whine and complain give their opinion as gold.

This is pretty funny coming from anyone associated with Destiny. I've had way more fun with No Man's Sky so far then I ever did with the first iteration of Destiny. It took them a year to get a decent game, I can only imagine what I'll be doing in NMS in a year.

"just creating a huge world, something he referred to as ‘real estate’, is not enough for a good experience. It is very important to fill that world with interesting things to do, otherwise the players would get bored."

i totally agree and my main criticism for nms

Wow a professional dev taking pot shots at an indie dev, real "professional".

edit: upon further reading, this is clickbait.

The number of people overacting from the headline is incredible. There are actual people who clicked and commented on that site without reading it.

"back in July"

Why does it have Destiny: Rise of Iron release date at the end of the article for no reason...is this "story" an Ad for Destiny?

wow..a massive company wants to flame an indie. way to go. you feel big and strong now bungie? btw destiny was nothing like you promised at launch either you trolls.

Monsters look like there from the game freaky forms lol

This game is going to be like Minecraft in the long run. I think we'll be building our own base one day down the road. Like in Fallout 4. Hello Games I think is a very small group of guys that work on the game. I heard like six. Don't know how much truth there is to that though. No Man's Sky is still easily the most talked about game for the past three to four weeks easy. The game sold really well on top of that. I think the company can only go up from here even with refunding the players that didn't care for the game. Refunding for the reasons the players are crying about is a very far reach and frankly borderline robbery.

"No Man's Sky director lied to me".........

You know how many games are released today that had a kick a** trailer and gameplay footage and then once it was released......it was something a little different. A lot. Like more than you can count just in the past three years. I am a No Man's Sky player and yes, the game gets repetitive and frankly just boring not even very long playing. I'm not gonna sugar coat it. I haven't even played it for days (Dark Souls III has me hooked, first play through, only 30 hours in). Doesn't mean I want my $60 back though. Practices like this (Hello Games director promises and didn't fall through) happens all the time. A lot of developers has done this. Now the players asking for a refund should at max, only be able to trade in the game just like any other game "You were not happy about".

Basically, now that I think about it more, its more like this:

No Man's Sky = Full refund because the players were deceived

Every other game = Trade in because player already finished the game / just didn't like the game / trading in to get something else / trading in because your just plain tired of it

I call bullsh*t on the players. Next it will be every other game you wanting a refund for. I hope Hello Games made a ton a money off the bat so they can shoo away these players that are trying to hurt the industry in the long run. Its horrible for the industry.

True no man's sky is super disappointing, but destiny was equally as disappointing. It still amazes me that the guys who made halo and supported it for free for a decade released destiny and then just said fuck you to there fans. Sorry you don't have credibility anymore.

They really shouldn't be talking, considering their own failure in Destiny.

Say the guys responsible for the most generic and overrated FPS series of all time.

I'm fine with people criticizing a game they don't like, but not when they live in a glass house.

Bungie needs to STHU and worry about their repeat and rinse crap .

I always said the UI looked like it was ripped from Destiny

"Shots Fired..." What shots? He basically joked about the similarity between the interfaces and said he preferred hand crafted levels to procedural generation ones. The article is clickbait pure n simple.

The NMS hate train rumbles on...

Both games had missing content, both games are grinders and repetitive.

Destiny's UI was just about the only good thing in the game

LOL bungie, are they trying to disassociate themselves from list of shitty companies who overhype shit?

I do see alot of things copied from Destiny.

Really?

screw u bungie. I got more moneys worth out of NMS than I did with Destiny... (i personally wont pay for something that shoulda been in the game in the first place. Didnt realize till months after I bought destiny)

I'm still enjoying nms and i put down destiny maybe two weeks after release. It was a cool game tho. There something amazing about nms some ppl get it some don't. Ofcourse some ppl just want to bandwagon the hate. The nms hate train didn't really start until really the pc release.

Destiny is a disaster. Clean up your own mess.

Hilarious double standard given how crap Destiny was.

a dev from bungie/destiny taking jabs at the quality of another game? What's next, criminals taking jabs at why the law gets enforced on them?

Do people actually keep reading these NMS articles or is it just a way to keep complaining?

The last good game Bungie made was Halo

Bungie is a HUGE company Vs Hello Games which is a small independant company. Bungie must feel good talking shit about them.

Destiny is the perfect game..... everybody should follow in their holy footsteps (obvious sarcastic remark for those who might think otherwise)

NMS reminds me a lot of what destiny started off like (and may still be like). I like both, and it took forever to break my destiny addiction.

Say what you want but they did kind of ripped Destiny's UI. It looks very similar . Funny a lot of you say disappointing Destiny but it still has one of the highest player bases and sold over 15 million copies and has another expansion coming out it's obviously a very popular game lot more popular than no man's Sky which has a 90% drop off rate. I got bored after a couple hours with no man's Sky procedurally-generated just sucks it's never good. You do see the same things over they just look a tad different . Star Citizen to me looks so much better than no man's sky and I've played Elite dangerous what I think is a little bit better.

anytime bungie says anything you just look at em with an annoyed expression and say "Destiny, $500,000,000.." enough said

Bungie = shit

nothing more the garbage they put out over the years

they total gone downhill bigtime

Metaphors shouldn't mix

You can really see the illiterates in full force here. If you guys read the article past the title you would see no shots actually taken and a clickbait article title. But hey reading is hard, right?

Both games are grindy, but i love grinding if the gear and experience is worth it.

The new masters of grid have no room to talk (Bungie). I'm not pleased with either game, although Destiny did offer lush environments and engaging gameplay (and playing with your pals, gasp!)....where No mans Sky is so big that it is uselessly empty and is about as exciting as visiting an old folk's home. Oh yeah and recycled assets up the wazoo.....that type of crap really pisses me off.

NMS is far from perfect but I've enjoyed it more than the many times I've dipped back into Destiny.

Neither game is great I'll admit

Bungie... the developers behind DESTINY... think they have room to talk... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
