From back around the time Bungie announced they were working on a new project, after being finished with Halo, I had been looking forward to Destiny. For years I waited patiently to see what new adventure Bungie would have us embark on. Not long before the Beta, I was disillusioned. I was concerned about the hype that had been put behind Destiny, was worried that with Activision on board, Destiny could become the next COD. After playing the Beta, I wasn't sure how to feel. I decided that I enjoyed the game enough to buy Destiny; and so I did. After finishing most of the vanilla content, I was angry. Where is the rich story? Where are the things shown in the videos Bungie had released. After struggling internally as to where I stood, I decided to continue playing Destiny. After all, my friends played too, and we had a clan. I poured over the Grimoire, telling myself "hey, it kinda makes up for the story". I entered the VoG with my clanmates, and had a blast. The raid is great! I put so many hours into grinding the VoG. Then I realized, "wow, the Vault is better than any of the other vanilla content. Why wasn't the rest of this game as well structured as the Vault of Glass?" So now I had encountered a conundrum: should I buy the DLC? Is it worth it? After much discussion and deliberation among my friends and I, I made the decision to buy the DLC. After all, Bungie has been getting better with their patches and hot fixes....they've been listening to us and making positive changes....right? So after trying to buy the first DLC by itself, and then realizing I had to preorder both, I poured a lot of time into the Dark Below....for the first week. I had been so excited to have Eris, who seemed like a 'questgiver'. I had been so excited for the new strike and the new gear and guns. I had been so excited for the new raid.... And now, I've killed all the content except for the raid. All that's left for me to do is raid. I really like Crotas End. Just as much as I enjoyed the Vault of Glass. But now my issue is the level of content. There is not enough here for me to grind until the next DLC. I just end up being disappointed, not matter what happens. So in conclusion, every time I make an exception or an excuse for Bungie and Destiny, I end up disappointed. Understand, I really enjoy this game. Its the best shooter I've played since Halo 3; my favorite game. But there's one of the issues: it's a great FPS. It lacks everywhere else. In story. In the RPG side. In the "MMO" side. In content. In amount of guns and gear. In the non-living world. In the lifeless NPCs. In the non-open environment. Destiny eats a lot of my time. And I enjoy it immensely. But it's becoming harder and harder to justify the amount of time and effort I put into it. I really WANT the game to be what I was hoping it would be. However, Bungie didn't do enough. They tried to make this huge, game changing genre on console. But they didn't go big enough. Sure Destiny is polarizing. Sure it's definitely something console has never seen before. Sure it's a "good" game. But it could have been more. It should've been more. Especially with all the years of development put into it. There are so many games that Bungie could have learned from, so many things that could've been incorporated that have been successful in other games.... This isn't a rant on how "I'm quitting". Its not a tale of how I hate the game or how I feel entitled to anything. I just feel like sharing my tale. I feel like most people feel the same as I do. TLDR: I have been up and down with Destiny since the beginning. Everytime I get my hopes up, something happens and my feelings change. I'm not sure where I stand, now, and I'm not sure how much more time I'll be putting into Destiny. Anyone else feel this way? Edit: I haven't been on Destiny in over a month now, I've moved on to other games that can hold my interest (like FarCry 4). I will most likely try out HoW since I paid for the content....though I'm fully expecting to end up disappointed.
