I've literally never heard anyone say anything good about either game, why do people play them?

1. Running a raid where everyone knows what they are doing is a transcendental experience. Unfortunately it only happens once every 50 raids.
2. Game looks gorgeous.
3. A good build feels good, not from numbers, but the actual experience of shooting.
4. If you like FPS, don't want to play PvP, and like a social experience, what other options are there?

Abandoned Halo to Microsoft and is so fricking shitty internally that all the fricking good people left the fricking company to form their own companies and studios I guess, b-word?

They left to go make concord. All the good devs retired ten years ago, let's be real.

Company is rife with sexpests that "vulnerable individuals" keep defending and clapping for.
My gripe is with Destiny. Had such potential but upper management repeatedly stonewalled devs from implementing stuff the community was begging for. Lies to the players. They said the in game store would use the money to fund extra content then later implemented dungeon keys to buy for real money to access new dungeons that used to be included with the expansions, also paid season pass. Continuing to fumble releases and constantly create bugs in a game they've been working on for 10 years. Hire "diversity squad" to make sure the game is diverse, much celebrated by community, layed them all off before Christmas. Give low quality expansions for premium price. All while Pete Parsons just bought like $2.4M of cars from Bring A Trailer he reportedly keeps asking female employees to come and "check them out".

I have nothing but respect for Pete Parsons. Get that bag. Money is like manure, its just shit until you use it to buy 2.4 mil of vintage cars.

The funny thing about that story is that it wasn't a dude farting on women it was a dude farting on men.
This somehow turns into a story about how women are deeply oppressed in the video game industry. Riot Games ended up paying out a shit ton of money to settle the case to all women, current and former employees, regardless of whether they were actually victims or not.
The "sexism in the industry" shit is one giant grift that keeps replicating itself in different video game companies over and over again because these companies hired a shit ton of mentally unstable sjw's to work for them.
"Surely" said the frog, "the scorpion will not sting me because then we will both drown."
"Lol." Said the scorpion. "Lmao even"

Mistake. Always leave that as subtext. Foids will happily trade s*x for money and advancement but they don't like when it's made explicit because then they'd be whores.
That shit was hot as frick as a teenager and I wish I got to play it more often (or at all) as an adult*

Well Bungie is fricking in Washington so I would guess he stole their underwear from the fricking communal laundryroom and/or sniffed the fricking air when they were fricking in the fricking room and said "SMELLS LIKE KITTIES IN HERE" but he didn't mean the fricking vagina but he meant a fricking bunch of shitty devs who cant even make a fricking profit on selling microtransactions to g*mers

I mean maybe but if you follow the bungie posts at all for their company and games it is and i'm not exaggerating here wall to wall virtue signaling. Place is so woke if they weren't already broke (lmao) they would have delivered their own version of dustborn by now. IDPOL infests that company from top to bottom. Any harmless joke is seen as a personal attack or made up bullshit like microaggressions.
maybe he was a creep but after years of seeing this shit it's more likely a bunch of foids (legacy and pretend btw) decided they had enough of his jokes and got rid of him. It's IMO very unlikely this dude was like Weinstein or the actual cockroach in chief randy pitchford.
Unless some actual darning evidence comes out (not happening) i'm going to assume he just fell afoul of the foid mafia and that as they say is that.
