In the wake of becoming the highest selling new franchise of all time and the year’s biggest release leading up to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Destiny has observed an unnecessary amount of flack the last week. The title’s only been available for nearly a week and it’s without a doubt the most criticized game we’ve seen in recent memory.
Former Halo developer, Bungie Games left Microsoft a few years ago and ended their time with the popular first-person series to embark on their own independent journey.
