Since I'm still on a lappy I've fired up the emulators, and god Mame can be a blast. Used to go to the arcades as a little kid. Feels decadent now to pop 'quarters' in Magic Sword or Black Tiger and play away. So much fun.
First reviews about Destiny are coming in, and they're very lukewarm. The few I read said generally the same thing - threadbare story and repetitive levels with fun mechanics.
What I don't understand is how Borderlands (the first one; didn't play the second) received good reviews, when my experience of it was very similar to what people are describing of Destiny? Threadbare story, repetitive levels...

I find both to be equally horrible franchises, well Destiny isn't a franchise(yet). I miss when Gearbox made quality stuff like Brothers in Arms.
Destiny's ending is.... shit. If you aren't planning to play the game then go look at it and you'll understand.
Borderlands on the other hand is kinda fun in co-op for most people, although I still didn't find it enjoyable personally because of all the hack writing(and by that I mean MEMES AND FORCED HUMOUR) and the shooting mechanics.

Destiny's beginning to end story wise is quite shit.
But I've talked enough about it.
BL1 I found it's humour better as it's zany and more spaced out whereas BL2 with the hiring of Burch... It's like Sid said pretty much. Instead of a joke here or there it's forced all throughout some of it's funny a lot not.
"Dook hut, no fapping!" prime example that Burch shouldn't of been hired.

Ah, I think you should give the first a go, much better in the funny department. Better player characters too, aside from Roland. I think the only character that truly retained their charm from the first was Scooter and maybe Dr. Zed.
Claptap should go die in a fire.
I used to be fascinated by arcade machines. I still want an MK2 arcade machine at home.
I am also glad MAME exists. I still like some of those old beat'em ups. By the way, most games had a configuration screen (usually F2 on MAME) where you can select different options, including turning on free play and saving yourself the hassle of inserting "coins". Just press start and play away.
I quit playing BL because of the incessant, annoying humor. I wanted to blow that robot off the planet.
I figure you might was well flush your quarters down the toilet, but I loved game. 4 player turtle goodess. Golden memories :yes
So how come we don't have a Destiny thread yet? Is nobody else playing it?
because it's a terrible game and nobody likes it
also the ending makes Mass Effect 3 look good and involves bullet sponges.
