DeeJ, Let me preface this post with a bit of backstory. I am a gamer. Bottom line. My first video game experience was a waking up one Christmas morning to find a Nintendo Game Cube and a Legend of Zelda: Collectors Addition. I was the most ecstatic seven year old you've ever seen. I spent hours playing that game and for months at a time would save up money for new games for that glorious box. Then, I discovered Halo: CE. I was at my uncles house for some holiday. My older cousin was in his room playing, and I was curious. I asked to play and he handed off the controller. I was amazed. Halo was my first FPS experience and, damn was it a good one! I spent so much time playing through that game in one weekend more than I had ever played Game Cube at one time. The story, the gameplay, the enemies: perfect. I still remember fighting my way through the midnight air, trudging through the canyon with a sniper rifle and a ragtag group of marines, and finally warping up to the Truth and Reconciliation, two Hunters laying dead in pools of orange blood below. Then the ship! Fighting through wave after wave of Covenant aboard that strange, alien vessel. Stomping every Grunt, bashing every Jackal, gunning down any Elite that stood in my way. The feeling of mystery behind the Ring and the terror I felt as swarms of Flood surrounded me in that first encounter. Even as a near-invincible Spartan, we, the fans, felt these things together. That was BUNGIE. That was what you were capable of - what you are capable of - and it changed the way I looked at games forever. Now to the point. I love Destiny. It's fun, it's beautiful, the environments are breathtaking and the music is flawless. I love the friends I've made playing it too. But where is the mystery? Where is the terror? Where is the feeling of accomplishment in the story? The raid is extremely satisfying the first few times, yes, but it runs its course eventually. What I'm asking, the big overall question, is WHERE IS THE IMMERSION? You guys at BUNGIE are amazing at making games, and I know it isn't fair to ask for another "First Halo Experience." But this game should be more. I saw the potential in it. I saw the childhood memories that this game could give. But frankly, it's a let down. You know that. Destiny is a good game. It is. I personally am addicted. And I'm ok with that. But it could be so much more. Use those beautiful environments you made and slap some story on them. What was Camp 9? What research did the Ishtar academy conduct? Where did the Fallen come from? Why do they, or any of the enemies we face, hate us so much? What is the Vault of Glass? I should be able to find out these things without reading the Grimoire! And on the Vault, a cutscenes of Kabr and his raid team first entering the Vault would have been AWESOME! What we were shown, what the hype built up in our minds; I thought that this was the next step in gaming, like Halo was when the original XBOX came out. But this? This broken game that has been left at the mercy of a community completely blinded by cries for nerfs and cluster -blam!-s of CoD fanboy rants, screaming about how this game is dead and won't last till 2015, this is not what you envisioned, what we as a fan base envisioned. But we can fix it. We as a community. No more rants. No more tears. If we want this game to work, to be a childhood memory, to become LEGEND, then we need to band together and quite fighting each other. We are the Guardians of this game. We are responsible for keeping it alive. We be able to have our own tales filled with terror and wonder. Let us help YOU help US. See you star side... (As a foot note, I am not a writer. If this post has any writing structure or grammatical errors that make whoever reads this cringe, I apologize. This is just the ramblings of a dedicated fan.)
