That $500m figure has been officially debunked. It didn't cost anywhere near that to produce:

Originally posted by bcass View PostSix is overly harsh IMO. It has its faults, but when the combat clicks on the higher levels, it's utterly sublime. Levelling up Light doesn't feel like the huge chore it initially sounds like either, and the weapons are now starting to feel significantly meatier too. When you get to 20+, everyone in the Strike teams (when playing with randoms) mostly knows what they're doing, which makes replaying the Strikes a lot of fun, and nothing like the initial grind they felt like on the lower levels.
I see the lightweight story as a massive plus, and I totally commend Bungie for going that rought. It's utterly refreshing to see that time isn't being wasted on some ridiculously banal story. "Stories" in games are almost universally pathetic, and I'd much rather devs concentrated on gameplay and variety.

This evening though it couldn't contact the servers during single player and kicked me back to the main menu. Every time I go back in it show my Rank as 0 on the destination screen and multiplayer doesn't work (it's correct in any single player levels).
Probably a server outage or something

People are having quite a few network related weirdnesses as the game requires additional forwarded ports on top of what the console normally does
Destiny Port Range Direction
7500-17899 (TCP) Outbound
30000-40399 (TCP) Outbound
35000-35099 (UDP) Inbound and Outbound

What has budget got to do with it?
If it cost 500million and they were charging you ?200 a copy then fair enough....but its the same ?40 every other game costs you. Unless you are an Activision shareholder the budget is meaningless!
Of course, your rating is your rating...but surely it should be based purely on fun??

hit 20 now, with just mars story and strikes to go for the starter stuff. From playing solo, in random group and with friends, I would say this really shines when you crank up the difficulty and have 2 mates with voice coms on, you can end up with aload of enemies on screen in the amounts I've not seen in a mainstream shooter in years, almost serious sam like and the chaos of the weapon fire and abilities going off for both sides is fantastic.
have to say im with Garny on this one, even sites I trust like giantbomb seem all over the place with there opinion, just listening to the podcast today they're quite content to call it day at lvl10 and 4/5 hrs (mostly solo) before the game gets going and yet praise the likes of Diablo for doing the same things and having an endgame. I think 7/10 it about the best I could give it until I see that the grind is with endgame raids, pvps and patrol areas I can't enter due to high level mobs, and there seems to be a lot to venus I've not come across in the strikes and story, which is a well made and pretty area with a lot variety in it compared to earth and moon.
