They say its the investment for the WHOLE franchise.
True.
yea welcome to like 1 year ago nub, we all knew that stuff already
True. brah gimme some slack I was not a destiny fan from its initial annoucement, only jumped on the destiny-train like a few weeks before launch. heh
Yeah, the 500mil was NOT all spent on this one game. They just have that as a budget for the next like 10 years maybe.
True.
This is pretty close to the truth. The game did not cost $500M to make.
True.
500mil is not much for 10 years, it was probably all for destiny but more of an investment and marketing than just costs of developing the game.

If you actually watched it he is spot on about it and definitely not hypocritical. Game is superbly mediocre held together by good shooting mechanics, good class abilities, carrot on a stick grinding, and meh pvp.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that I am selling my resell share of Destiny PS3 for $7, people with feedback only.
I was mostly calling MYSELF the hypocrite. I was defending Destiny previously when we had a whole few pages of Destiny-hate going on, that was about it. (unless you were speaking to the above guys excluding me?! then it ?kinda? makes sense.) The video is spot on and the more and more I keep "brushing it under the rug" the more and more I hate myself as a gamer and hoping that this does not start a new trend of game releases.
On a more important note, who said this gen would last 10 years?! I see it lasting 3-4 tops, any more and we're just going to end up beating a dead horse of a hardware limitation by year 5, technology advances, we've seen 10-12-year long gens (PS2), PS3 was about 6-7 years, its getting shorter and shorter, according to Moore's law technology advances (doubles) about every two years, how's the PS4/XB1 going to last 10. thats just ridiculous.
Unless Bungie is already aware of that and is making plans to work with a Xbox Two/ PS5 devkits.
Wouldnt that mean we'd be plopping down an extra 59.99 when the next-gen version rolls out?!
Unless, similar to what Joe stated about the PC version, we're going to get two versions, one Complete Definitive-Definitive-er Edition for those who didnt jump in on Destiny and another version for use Destiny vets.
The future of Destiny feels so bleak and "salty".
Fuuu sorry for my rant guys, gonna go take 5 to shake my fist at some alluring images to calm myself down.
I'll never understand why so many young men are obsessed with the likes of Angry Joe and other YouTube celebrities. Never have had any desire to watch any of these "celebrities" yap.
you do realize YOU are calling them celebs...
I and I'm sure many others seek out video reviews like Angry Joe's because they hold way more truth than the sponsored or craptastically biased ones IGN/GT pop out.
Its all about information and where and who you get it from.
as Bane would reversely say it, these Youtube "celebs" hold no power over me.
