I feel like there is no sense of dread or fear in Destiny. And Bungie has never dealt with that feeling throughout their games in a proper manner. I mean, their slogan for Destiny is "Be Brave". But in order to "be brave" we must face our [i]fears[/i], but it doesn't mean our heroes are [i]fearless[/i]. In Halo we had the Flood, but they were never something our hero feared (in the books Chief was scared shitless of the flood btw). We saw Marines running for their lives from the Flood but when Chief arrived he was their beacon of hope and they fought back. I get that. But it made chief seem like they were just another target. We never saw the paranoia that human beings should've been dealing with [i]when they're facing extinction[/i]. And again in Destiny I fear that we AGAIN, will not witness this fear. We see three Guardians just mowing down Cabal, Fallen, tanks, etc. with their cape fluttering in the wind. I get it, it's Mythic Sci-Fi. But they're still human (well things with emotion now that we have Exo and Awoken), and they're doing a good job hiding their fear, and anger, sadness, happyness, etc. Again, our heroes seem without emotion, they're fearless, which makes them fools. I want some of the people of the Last City to be paranoid, to be afraid, to be angry, sad, happy during victories, [i]I want some emotion damn it![/i] Because we always get a badass in Bungie games (Johnson, Keyes, the ODSTs, Chief), but then if the character wasn't badass they end up being bland and unmemorable. REACH tried to bring us this, but who did we like the most? We ended up liking Jorge the MOST. The biggest most badass Spartan we've seen second to Chief. And some liked Emile also. Oh and Jun. But why not Carter and Kat? They weren't badass, they're very void of emotion, and they just sucked as characters to be honest. Jorge was badass and had the most emotion, perfect character in Reach IMO. Emile, was the last bro till the end. And Jun...we liked his cooking lol. In Destiny, the people of the LAST CITY are the ONLY HUMANS left on Earth. There are aliens seeking your extinction, to wipe you from the face of the Universe, and the fact that NOBODY seems afraid [i]ruins[/i] that atmosphere. Yes, there are strong willed people. Yes there are soldiers to this day that sign up to defend their country, and a lot of them come back with PTSD. We're not all Master Chiefs, people bred to fight and die, and even he had emotional traits in the books. I just want something more than badass it seems. I want more Jorge, more ODST like characters. Less Carter, Kat, Miranda, and bland. But we can't have just a game with characters with amazing personas, who are badass. There has to be mediocrity because, let's be honest, we're not all amazing even here on B.net (inb4 speak4urself). Yes, Destiny is about [i]us[/i], the Guardians. We always bring ourselves into the game, be it rage, awe, happiness, sarcasm, trolling, greediness, politeness, generosity. And most of our Guardians will be badass, we're pretty good at shooting thanks to Halo. So Bungie, do us a favor. We know you can make badass heroes we all love. You just don't know how to make [i]normal[/i] people. They all suck at showing their emotion. Normal people would freak the hell out if they were faced with extinction. Aliens would naturally be a hellish scenario to them. There needs to be a sense of desperation. We see it everyday on the news when we see people who are in refugee camps. Keep making the badasses, but those characters aren't realistic, in order for some immersion we need normal people everyone can relate to.
