Yeah I Was Right About Forge
About a year ago, I listened to a lot of people whining about Forge. Yeah Forge. I said to hell with Forge and to Hell with forgers. Bungie are brilliant game designers and I don't want their creation cluttered up with amateur hour. That's the way I said it, that's the way I want it. The only possible concession I made was to let forgers have some piece of a moon of Saturn or something, but not Earth, or the Moon or any of the regular maps. Go play griffball in Halo 5, weenies.
Now the alpha is over and everybody is breathless about how spectacular Destiny looks. And not a peep about Forge. Good. I told you Destiny needs Forge like the Mona Lisa needs a tongue stud. Now all we need is DeeJ to stick a fork in the argument. Please.

Edited by attempt3: 6/21/2014 5:59:40 PMI think forge fits snugly with the vision that Bungie has for Destiny. A mode for every mood, and always having something to do. What I'm hoping for from forge is an evolution. Not the same version that was in reach, but a brave new version of the creation tool that has brought so many people so much joy. First let me elaborate on the mode for every mood point. Destiny is already full of modes that are fun and interesting, but what happens when the inspiration that the lore and the game play that the game provides is overflowing within the player. When you see a weapon or ability that makes you want to create a map that showcases it. When you go through a Strike that gives you an idea of a new type of experience. In short, when you are in the mood to create, you would have a place to go in Destiny. All of these new creations of players will inject new life into the game. We will truly always have something to do. The experiences we have won't be limited by the time and imagination of the people at Bungie. Hopefully we will be able to create any range of experiences. The forge in Destiny would not be merely a rehash of Halo's forge, because, as many wise people have stated, Destiny is a different game. Hopefully this new forge mode would allow people to create their own raids and strikes as well as multiplayer maps. It could allow players to place enemies and provide rewards. I have a dream...
