Eh, maybe it was just Borderlands 1. Quit after about 4 hours. About halfway through 2 with a friend now and loving it, so it's hard to determine whether I just enjoy 2 much more or if it's because it's co-op (probably both).
I will say, I enjoyed 2 much more than 1. I actually restarted 1 with a different class because it seemed like a slog to get through. I think that Borderlands 1 was not very well balanced for solo play.
They said what? They purposefully didn't ship advance copies so that there wouldn't be Day 1 reviews. Am I missing something?
Last I heard, the reason why the did not ship out review copies until the 8th was because Destiny is MMO type game and yet the servers did not officially go online until the 8th ( as such the game world would be empty and as such reviewers would missing out on a huge part of the gameplay experience, playing with others ).
Yeah, it's all connected. They didn't want Day 1 reviews because advance copies would mean playing without the live servers being populated

B2 is brilliant. One of the most fun 1st shooter games ever and the story is interesting enough. The DLCs are quite good, but I'm stuck in Da Booty DLC because the gigantic worm doesn't die even after I shoot at all its weak point.
I started B1 just recently and I'm lvl 13 Mordecai. It is also a fun game to play but it seems a bit inferior in most aspects.
Not surprised. It's one thing when people are overhyping something, and another when the developers goes to the extreme and hypes it like hell. Reading and listening to several interviews and previews, Bungie have done exactly that and have come across as quite arrogant and presumptuous. Them claiming that we should listen to "Day 1 reviews" had me go all "wut?"
Ya, you misread big time.
Not to mention Destiny is no more overhyped then your normal AAA game.

Well...ya...that's kind of why it was the FIRST Borderlands game...
Afraid not.Ya, you misread big time.

The boss for the strike mission on the moon is really really hard.....hive are just attacking you non-stop not to mention the huge beam that kills you in 5 seconds.
... the huge beam that kills you in 5 seconds.
This reminds me of... something.
I can't read anything in this thread!!!! I can start playing in about 3.5 hours!!!! damn you work!!! 
This reminds me of... something.
Was referring to the ogre strike boss, it fires a huge beam from its forehead and it also protected by lots of hive.
Afraid not.

You definitely misread if you think Bungie's statement means listen to Day 1 reviews. Read it again with the backdrop that they denied advance copies to gaming sites so that the reviewers would have to play the game alongside everyone else starting on release day. There's a reason there's no Metacritic rating for Destiny.
What Bungie says is that some reviewers may play the game for a short period of time and then decide to review it without getting far into the game to rush out a review, instead of getting an advance copy and spending more time on it before reviewing. They also say that they understand some people won't buy the game until the gaming sites review it, meaning not Day one. They are fine with both cases.
Afraid not.

Eh, the general attention it has gotten along with the number of pre orders and sales in 24 hours, I wouldn't put Destiny in your average AAA game hype.
That says we should not listen to day one reviews(and for good reasons since the servers would not be up so any review would be false)
You said Bungie said we should listen to reviews. Whatever it was a typo or not, Bungie has the right to warn their gamers not to read false info(which it would be since those reviewers would not have been able to know all this and would probably just either base it on the beta or outright lies) The fact that there was no day one reviews or early reviews shows this.
Never listen to the hype, for any game, more so AAA games. That's the point of their marketing and PR. To hype the crap out of the product so it sells.

I didn't have that much of an issue with the strike boss on the moon in fact, that one boss on Earth strike though..... Lost track at how many of us kept getting killed by that canon.
Dumb question here. Do the Sniper rifles still not have an aiming reticle?

Yeah that cannon is one hit kill and is the bane of that strike mission, but the final boss on the earth strike mission is pretty easy though.

Ya the final boss was very disappointing after the tank boss.

I've yet to do the vex strike mission but it's is pretty tough from what I've seen.

If there's one thing I like about the no-Day One reviews it's that people are posting their impressions with qualifications on how much time they've spent in game. Additionally, since there's no number score, more readers might actually read the pros/cons the person is detailing.
Which is...pretty much how I think all reviews should function anyway.
Indeed. I'm sure a lot of people want scores, but I think the scores are often obsessed over so much that the actual content of the review is often ignored or at least glossed over. Plus there's the whole weirdness of having 1 to 5 scales or 1 to 10 scales and only using a fraction of it because the level of outrage and venom displayed when giving a game a score on the lower three quarters of said scale is ridiculous.
The only way I find reviews worthwhile nowadays is to follow specific reviewers (such as Angry Joe there) and build up an idea of what they like/dislike in games, preferences and so on, to compare to my own.
I've yet to do the vex strike mission but it's is pretty tough from what I've seen.
Having completed it recently it wasn't that hard...
Also got my Warlock to level 20. Woo...now the grind for legendary gear begins, and I still haven't beat the story!
the Competitive MP is broken right now
How so?
I've been getting killed in 3 shits from an assault rifle, they must not have fine tuned the segregation from competitive/cooperative
